The Tablighi Jamaat is an influential Islamic missionary movement with worldwide presence in over 200 countries. It has drawn considerable attention for its dedication to grassroots religious reform amongst Muslims emphasizing a return to the foundational Islamic practices in a silent and nondescript manner.

The origins of the Tablighi Jamaat can be traced back to Maulana Mohammad Ismail and his financier, Mirza Ilahi Bakhsh. Mirza Ilahi, a relative of the last Mughal Emperor, Bahadur Shah Zafar, was also allegedly a British Spy who provided intelligence on the royal household and the mutineers during the 1857 War of Independence. Both men resided near the Nizamuddin area of Delhi, which at the time was considered a gateway to the Mewat region. Maulana Ismail expressed deep empathy for the impoverished Mewati Muslims, who were reportedly oppressed by the non-Muslim Rajput landlords of the Alwar princely state according to Vivek Mukherji.

With great efforts and dedication, Maulana Ismail taught Mewatis and their children the ethos of Islam. After his death, his sons Maulana Mohammad and Maulana Muhammad Ilyas Kandhlawi carried forward his mission of educating the locals, particularly the Meos of the region. In the 1920s Maulana Ilyas formally concretized the Tablighi Jamaat by forming small groups of common Muslims and sending them to hinterland to teach and educate Muslims about Islam and righteous living. These groups later came to be known as Tablighi Jamaat (literally the preaching group) in local dialects even though not formally named as such by the Maulana.

Since its inception, the Tablighi Jamaat has cultivated a distinct methodology of outreach, through Periodic Public Gatherings (Ijtimas), Consultative Assemblies (Mashwara), Street Patrols inviting Muslims to Mosques (Gasht), oral reading and teaching from select religious texts in Mosques after congregational prayers (Taleem) and direct personal visits and interactions (Mulaqats).

The Tablighi Jamaat operates on six foundational principles aimed at spiritual self-purification and community reform. These are:

  1. Kalima (Faith): Firm belief in the oneness of God and the finality of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
  2. Salah (Prayer): Regular observance of the five daily prayers;
  3. Ilm and Dhikr (Knowledge and Remembrance of God): Acquisition of Islamic knowledge and constant remembrance of God;
  4. Ikram-ul-Muslim (Respect for Fellow Muslims): Fostering love, compassion, brotherhood, and service among Muslims;
  5. Ikhlas-e-Niyyat (Sincerity of Intention): Ensuring purity of intentions in all actions for God’s sake;
  6. Dawah (Inviting Others to Islam): Calling Muslims towards righteous living and inviting non-Muslims to Islam through peaceful methods.

These principles guide the Jamaat members to lead humble, faith-driven lives and to contribute to the moral upliftment of society.

According to Jamaatis, the essence of the message conveyed in Tablighi Jamaat gatherings is to recognize, reflect, and respond to the signs of God’s greatness that surround us. It is a call to return to the simplicity and purity of faith, to strengthen our resolve in the path of righteousness, and to spread the light of Islam through our words and actions.

However, this author, having studied Islam through a variety of primary and secondary sources, has observed that the preaching of jamaatis in local mosques and streets often lacks alignment with core Islamic teachings. A significant reason for this discrepancy is that the teachings of many jamaatis rely heavily on hearsay and recollections of what they have heard from others, with little effort to verify their authenticity against the Quran and Sunnah. This uncritical reliance on second hand knowledge often results in spread of falsehood with a multiplier effect as the Jamaatis move from one mosque to another.

This problem can be attributed to several factors including poor reading, writing and comprehension skills of the Jamaatis and the general masses in both Arabic and local languages, a lack of will and motivation to study the Quran and Hadith under qualified scholars despite years of engagement in Jamaat activities, intellectual laziness, alleged discouragement from senior Jamaat leaders, and some vague fears or misconceptions that quoting directly from Quran and Hadith is the work of scholars not commoners.

Interestingly, Maulana Ilyas, the founder of the Jamaat, “held a firm belief that people will become good Muslims not by reading books, but through people-to-people contact and active participation in da’wah (proselytisation work). The cornerstone of his thought process was that the responsibility of spreading Islam should not be confined to the ulemas (scholars) only, but should be moral obligation of every Muslim” writes Vivek Mukherji and Sadia Rehman.

Through firsthand observations, interviews, research, and surveys, this author has identified and examined the key thematic areas around which Jamaat discussions, teachings, and public preachings revolve. To benefit a wider audience, this article supplements and enriches certain key Tablighi Jamaat themes with Quranic verses, Hadith, and credible scholarly insights drawn from a diverse range of Islamic sources and traditions.

These topics include the nature and attributes of God, the purpose of creation, God’s generosity toward humankind, the chain of messengers, the core teachings of all prophets, and the roles and responsibilities of believers after the messengers. Read on to explore these themes in greater detail. We have included some additional scholarly critiques of the Tablighi Jamaat toward the end of this article.

Glory of God: Allāh ki Badāi Kibriyai: Allāh ki Zāt badi Azīm, Karīm

The Tablighi Jamaat sermons often begin with a heartfelt acknowledgment of God’s supreme attributes. They say that God is our Creator, our Sustainer, and our Protector. He is the One who governs the heavens and the earth, and it is He alone who is deserving of all praise and worship. The teachings emphasize that recognizing God’s grandeur in all things, both big and small, is a key to understanding the true nature of our existence and the world around us.

Proof of God: Allah ki Nishaniyan Aql walon ke Liye: Chhoti & Badi

Using Quranic verses and Prophetic teachings, the Jamatis argue that there are countless examples around us that invite us to reflect upon the signs of Allah’s power and wisdom in creation. From the tiniest seeds of the fig and olive to the towering mountains and the radiant sun and moon, every element of nature testifies to the greatness of the One who fashioned it all. The world, in its intricate design and perfect balance, serves as a continuous reminder of Allah’s supreme authority and the wisdom embedded in His creation.

Message of Prophets: Nabiyon ki Dāwat: Imān & Neki

Faith: Imān ki Dāwat

  • Mohtaram buzurgon aur pyare bhaiyon, nabi badle lekin dawat nahi badli. sabne imaan ki dwat di. 
  • Imaan se ye chaha jata hai ki kaise hamare dilon mein YAQEEN aa jaye. Kis cheez ka yaqeen? 1 Rab ki zaat se hone ka yaqeen aur us Rab ke gair se na hone ka yakeen. Ye yakeen ki wo Rab apne ghair ke bagair sab kuchh kar sakta hai aur ghair, Rab ke bagair kuchh nahi kar sakta. Aur ye ki aap PBUH ke tariqe pe 100 fisad kamyabi aur ghair ke tariqe pe 100 fisad na-qamyabi. 
  • Doston bhaiyon buzurgon, imaan ka mutalba dil se hai, sirf zaban se nahi. hadith sharif ka mafhūm hai, Innamal a’malu binniyat, amal ka daromadar niyat par hai. Allama iqbal farmate hain- Khirad ne keh bhi diya la ilah to kya hasil, dil o nigah muslma nhi to kuchh bhi nahi; ye zikr e neem shabi, ye murakbe ye suroor, teri khudi ke nigehbaan nahi to kuchh bhi nahi.
  • hadith sharif ka mafhūm hai ki iman ki 70 se zyada shakhein hain sabse afzal la ilah illa allah ki gawahi dena. (See 77 Branches as noted by Imam Bayhaqi)

  • Ya ayyuhan nāsu, qūlu lā ilāha illa Allāh, tuflihūn. ae logon kalma parh lo kamyab ho jaoge (Qad Aflahal Muminūn)
  • Doston bhaiyon buzurgon, ye gawahi dil se honi chahiye, sirf zaban se nahi. hadith sharif ka mafhūm hai, Innamal a’malu binniyat, amal ka daromadar niyat par hai. Allama iqbal farmate hain- Khirad ne keh bhi diya la ilah to kya hasil, dil o nigah muslma nhi to kuchh bhi nahi; ye zikr e neem shabi, ye murakbe ye suroor, teri khudi ke nigehbaan nahi to kuchh bhi nahi.
  • aur dilon ke haal sirf rab janta hai. ayate sharifa hai “Wahu was-sami3ul 3alīm”: wo sab sun ne aur jaan ne wala hai” and “Wallāhu 3alimun Bizatis-sudūr”: wo dilon ke bhed jaanta hai (al-Imran 3:154)
  • Jitne bhi nabi paigambar aaye sabne isi qalme ki tabligh ki Rab ki sharan le lo, uske aage jhuk jao, samarpan kr do.

Submit & Surrender before God: As’lam’tu li Rabbil-3ālamīn 2:131

Muslim ka matlab hai Rab ke aage sar jhuka dene wala, sharan le lene wala, surrender kar dene wala. Purani kitabon mein bhi yahi likha hai – “tavem sharanam gachha, sarva bhāven bhārata, tatprasadātparām shanti sthanam prāpsyasi shāshwatam” (Gita 18:62)

Jitna Mujhe Sataya & Daraya gaya: Tirmidhi 2472

  • Anas narrated that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: “Indeed I have feared for the sake of Allah, such that no one has feared, and I have been harmed for the sake of Allah, such that no one has been harmed. Thirty days and nights have passed over me, and there was no food with Bilal and I forced something with a liver to eat, except what Bilal could conceal under his armpit.” This Hadith refers to when the Prophet SAW went out fleeing from Makkah and Bilal was with him. The only food Bilãl had was what he could carry under his arm. Mafhūm: Deen ke silsile me mujhe daraya gaya, jitna mujhe sataya gaya utna kisi aur ko nahi, 30 din 30 ratein aisi guzri ki hamare paas khane ki koi aisi cheez na hoti thi jisko koi jaandaar cheez kha sake.

  • Deen Ki Mehnat Sabse Badi Daulat Hai. Ye daulat Allah rabbul izzat sirf aur sirf use ata farmate hai jis se wo mohabbat karte hain aur jo allah se iski taufiq mangte hain (ek hadees sharif ka mafhoom hai Allah jis se razi hote hain, use deen ki samajh ata farma dete hai).
  • Ek hadees shareef ka mafhoom hai ki thodi der deen ki nisbat par gaur o fikr karna 60-70 sala ibadat se afzal hai.

Purpose of Tablighi Jamaat: Baithne ka Maqsad

They remind that the purpose of such gatherings is to reflect deeply on how we can bring true faith (imaan) into our lives and into the lives of our family members, relatives, and neighbors.

  • Yahan baith ke hame is baat pe gaur o fikar karna hai ki kaise hamari zindagi aur hamare ghar walon, karabatdaro, rishtedaron aur mohallewalon ki zindagi mein aur saare alam mein kaise deen ghalib aur aam ho jaye. (ek hadees ka mafoom hai ki behtar shakhs wo hai jo apne saath dusron ki bhi gaur o fikr kare jaise hamare nabi saw ne kiya; jo apne liye pasand kare wo apne bhaiyon ke liye pasand kare)
  • Allah swt nay hum sab ki kamayabi apnay mubarak deen mein rakhi hai aur jis kisi ki zindagi mein deen hoga Allah swt usay duniya o’akhirat dono mein kamiyab farmayengay aur jis kisi ki zindagi mein deen na hoga usay duniya o’ akhirat mein na-kamyab farmayenge. 
  • Aur hamein apna deeni islah krne ka mauka tabhi tak hai jab tak maut nahi aa jati aur maut ka koi bharosa nahi. aur jab ye baat sabit ho chuki hai ki deen ko seekhna aur sikhana, achi baatein batana aur buri baton se rokna ek nek amal hai to amal mein deri kaisi? aur jaise ki surah al-Muminoon me Allah swt irshad farmate hai ki-
  • أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ يُسَـٰرِعُونَ فِى ٱلْخَيْرَٰتِ وَهُمْ لَهَا سَـٰبِقُونَ ٦١ (ulāika yusāriūn fil khairāti wahum laha sābiqūn) al-Muminūn 23:61) jiska mafhūm ye hai ki momin ya imaan wale ek sifat ye hai ki wo nek kaam ki or daudte hai.
  • Aur imaan kya hai? ek hadees ka mafhoom hai imaan Ikhlas aur achhe Amaal Karna hai. ye cheezein hamare zindagi me tabhi ayengi jab ham Allah ke hukm aur nabi ke tariqe ki pairvi karenge.
  • To bataye aap mein se kitne sathi is azeem amal mein shirkat ke liye taiyar hain? 

Tablighi Jamaat Gasht wale Amāl ke Adāb

According to Jamaatis, the Tablighi Gasht (Street Patrols) is a noble practice, considered to be the work of prophets and their companions, and it comes with its own etiquettes and principles. All participants must act with pure intentions, as stated in a Hadith that “the value of actions depends on intentions,” and faith rests on sincerity. There are four key practices in Tablighi Gasht: three are to be conducted within the mosque and one outside.

  • ye bahut uncha amal hai, nabiyon wala kaam hai, iske apne adaab aur usool hai. 
  • khuloos niyat, mujahide aur nafsani qurbani ke sath hoga to Hidayat Wajood mein Ayegi, islam har ghar pahunche ga, Allah ki Rahmat Aayegi.
  • sabki niyat me kholoos hona chahiye. jaisa ki ek hadith sharif mein hai ki amal ka daromadar niyat pe hai aur imaan ikhlas hai.
  • Kul 4 amal hain. 3 masjid ke andar hone hain aur 1 bahar.

Inside the Mosque: Masjid ke Andar

  • Darmiyani baat: duniya mein aane ka maqsad bataye. 6 sifat ke andar, har kisi ko taleem ki taraf mutawajjeh krne ki koshish krein.
  • Dua Zikr: ye amal powerhouse hi tarah hai. jitni khushi, azizi ur shiddat se dua hogi, utna hi gehra asar hoga. Hidayat to Allah hi dega bil akhir.
  • Istikbal: istakbal krne wale sathi ko chahiye ki joota chappal utarne ki jagah khada rahe aur bade  khushnudi aur khush ikhlaqi ke sath puri basti ka istakbal ke liye taiyar rahe.

Outside the Mosque: Masjid ke Bahar

Gasht wala amal masjid ke bahar hota hai. isme kam az kam 3 aur jyda se jyada 10 sathi rahe.

Rehbar: makami aur basar shaks ho jo basti mein sabko pahchanane wala ho. rehbar bhai ka kam hai ki jis bhai ke ghar jamat le jaae use achhe naam se bulaye. naam malum ho to nam se varna abdullah bhai ke naam se. Darwaze se pukare ki Allah ke bande Allah ke ghar se Allah ki baat lekar aaye hai. Allah bada allah ki baat badi. nazre ehtiyatan niche rakhe. jab andar se koi bhai bahar aye to rehbar us se musafa kare aur mutakallim se mila de.

3 martaba awaz dene par bhi koi na aaye to aage barh jaye. koi khatoon aye to mard hazrat ko bhejne ke liye kahe. agar na kahe to aage barh jaye.

Mutakallim: ane wale bhai se musafa kre khairiyat puchhe aur tamam sathiyon ki taraf muteajje ho kar iman wale ki kimat bataye aur nakad masjid me lane ki koshish kare. 

Itni kam baat bhi na kare ki elaan ho jaaye aur itni jyada bhi nahi ki bayaan ho jaye. etedal akhtiyar kare. aur bahot hi ahsan tariqe se kalam kare kaise quran e karim mein allah tala farmate hain. apne Rubb ke raaste ki taraf dawat do Hikmat aur Umdah Nasehat Ke Saath, aur logon se mubahisa karo aise tareeqe par jo Behtareen ho. Tumhara Rubb hi zyada behtar jaanta hai ke kaun uski raah se bhatka hua hai aur kaun rah-e-rast par hai (an Nahl 16:125)

us se kahe ki gasht wala amal ho raha hai, masjid mein deen imaan ki baat ho rahi hai aur isi silsile mein hum aaoko lene aaye hain

Nagad Masjid lane ki koshish kare aur koi uzr pesh kare to uska hal bataye agar fir bhi uzr pesh kare to daai bana ke chhor dein ki aap to aayege mashallah aur sathiyon ko bhi saath lane ki koshish karein.

Zimmedar: Nikalne se pehle mukhtasar dua karenge. Jamaat mein sabse peeche chalenge, khayal rakhnege ki jamaat taishuda rukn aur umoor ke mutabik hi chale. akhir me astaghfar karate hue wapis le ayenge.

Individual Teachings: Infirādi Tālīm/Dāwat in Tablighi Jamaat

Infiradi Dawat of Tablighi Jamaat focuses on individualized preaching, encouraging Tablighi Jamaat members to engage positively with other Muslims whenever and wherever they encounter them. Through these interactions, others are reminded to uphold their religious responsibilities toward both God and humanity.

  • Jab kisi sathi se mile to salam dua ke baad puchhe ki deen ke baarein mein kya fiqrein chal rahi hai. Aap khud toh ibadat kr rahe hain mashallah se, kya dusro ko bhi dawat de rahe hain? (Reference Credit: Haji Sardar, Amir Jamaat, Abdullah Masjid, Ramesh Park, Laxmi Nagar Delhi)
  • Fir Dawat ke muta’alliq kuchh ayatein aur Hadithein bhi pesh karein-
  • Waltakum Minkum
  • Ud’u ila Sabili Rabbika
  • Wa mai yuTi 3illaha wa-Rasul, 
  • Qul ya ahlal kitabi ta’ālau ila kalimatin sawāin bai’nana wa bainakum
  • Allah ka azab ruk jaata hai
  • Basti ultane ka wada
  • Salah behayai aur bure kamo se rokti hai
  • Dabi ko jitna sataya aur daraya gya.

Teach What: Dawat kis cheez ki deni hai?

  • Imaan ki dawat
  • Wa laqad ba’athna fi kulli ummatir rasulan, 
  • Inna arsalnaka bill haqqi 
  • Wa ma umiroo, illa li ya budullah, mukhliseena lahud deena, hunafa a’..
  • Hamne koi aisa paighambar nahi bheja jisko hamne ye wahi na bheji ho ki..
  • Innamal mu’mineenallazina idha zukirallahu wajilat quloobuhum…(Imaan wale to wahi hai ki jab..)
  • Apne imaan ko taza krte raha kro, kaise, la ilaha illa allah ki gawahi kasrat se dete raha karo.

How to end Conversation: Last mein kya kahein?

  • Allah ke raste mein niklein, deen imaan, nek amal ki dawat dete rahein.
  • Masjid ki rozana talim, mashware aur haftawar gasht mein bhi niklein.
  • Digar mazahib mein bhi yahi gawahi hai, maslan Gita: Ya idam param guhyām mad-bhakteshu abhidhāsyati, bhaktim mayi parām kritwa māme vaishyasi a-shanshayah 18:68. Tamam anbiya kiram aur nabi karim PBUT ne bhi dīn-e-Ibrahim aur tamam haq baton ki hi tasdīq ki hai.

Critique of Tablighi Jamaat’s Functioning and Organisational Structure

The Tablighi Jamaat has also faced criticism from within and outside the Muslim community. Many Muslim scholars allege that the Tablighi Jamaat does not represent the entirety of Islamic teachings. Many view it as a misdirection, a waste of time, and as misaligned with the Quran and Sunnah for several reasons.

Blind Following: Blind Taqlid

According to many Muslim scholars, for those seeking authentic Islamic teachings, the Tablighi Jamaat may not be the best source. Most of their teachings and preachings are based on Heresy. Some Jamaat members engage in blind Taqlid with little concern for how closely their ideas align with the Quran and Sunnah (even though Maulana Saad encourage the reading and understanding of Quran and Hadith). A large number of Jamaatis generally exhibit a reluctance to learn and study the message of Quran and Hadith from scholars even after spending years in Jamaat activities. Muslim scholars like Assim bin Luqman al-Hakeem have issued rulings declaring blind followers of Tablighi Jammat to be deviants and forbidding participation in Tablighi Jamaat activities unless the reason for the participation is to criticize the alleged deviance.

Organizational Issues

Some dissidents also accuse the current amir of Nizamuddin Markaz Maulana Saad (great-grandson of the Tablighi Jamat founder Muhammad Ilyas Kandhlawi) of violating an important Agreement of 1995 and usurping the leadership. They also accuse him of intellectual dishonesty for not acknowledging the actual authors of Muntakhab Ahadith (the book read by Jamatis in their gatherings) and misappropriating it as his own. “Muntakhab Hadith was written by 6 Ulema from Karachi. These 6 Ulema are still alive. These 6 wrote Muntakhab Ahadith and were paid to write the book. When the book was completed, he (Maulana Saad) wrote his own name claiming he was the one who translated the Hadiths” claims Mufti Nizamuddin of Bengaluru.

Reluctance to Read and Understand Quran

Despite the Quran’s repeated exhortations to read and understand its teachings, some within the Jamaat discourage direct engagement with it, suggesting instead that only their leaders or specific texts can properly convey its meaning. Such an approach implies that their leaders are better guides than the divine revelation itself, an implication that raises questions about the Jamaat’s alignment with core Islamic principles.

Some even argue that the Quran is not “in order” (Tarteeb) for direct study, suggesting the organizational structure of their masters’ texts is superior to the divine arrangement confirmed by early Islamic figures, including Ali (RA), known as Bab-ul-Ilm (Gateway of Knowledge). “If Tablighi Jamaat members themselves cannot understand the Quran’s message, how then do they claim to teach Islam?”, claim many dissidents arguing that it is troubling that some Jamaatis reject the comprehensibility of Allah’s message while trusting their leaders’ interpretations of selective Hadith, some of questionable authenticity. This selective approach implies a greater reverence for the writings of their masters than for the Quran itself.

Non-Interactive Monologues

Many Jamaat gatherings are also criticized for lacking genuine dialogue, being one-sided monologue sessions led by naive members with limited knowledge of Quran and Sunnah. Even some Deobandi scholars, who tolerate the Jamaat’s presence in their mosques, consider it a sheer waste of time and prefer not to involve their own children in Jamaat sessions, often opting to send them to reputed english medium schools instead.

Limited to Few Aspects

Further, the Jamaat’s teachings often focus on certain practices, like prayers and attire, while overlooking other crucial aspects of Islam such as justice, fulfilling one’s promises trusts and covenants and honoring others’ rights. Though they advocate principles like “abandoning all desires, “not judging each other,” and “overlooking each other’s mistakes, etc, these ideas, while beneficial, sometimes serve as shields against accountability. This leniency can allow serious issues to go unaddressed, including alleged cases of financial mismanagement, abuse, and other moral failings. Excessively overlooking or hiding “flagrant, open, and repeated” wrongdoings also conflicts with the Quran’s mandate to “forbid evil,” leading to more severe consequences for the community.

Many Jamaat members appear drowsy and sleep-deprived, especially during early morning sessions, operating in a fatigued state that undermines the quality of their learnings and worships, another issue contrary to Islamic principles, which emphasize balanced care for the body and soul. There is a tendency amongst many Jamaat members to go to sleep late in the night and then either wake up late in the morning or sleep during the day after fajr prayers.

If the Tablighi Jamaat were to address these shortcomings, focus more on the Quran and Sahih Hadith, foster interactive learning, and also engage with the social, political, and economic issues, their work might become far more beneficial to Muslims and the wider society. Sikhs and Bohra Muslims have been far more successful on this aspect of giving back to the society transcending religious divide globally.

Righteousness is not that you turn your faces toward the east or the west, but [true] righteousness is [in] one who believes in God, the Last Day, the Angels, the Book, and the prophets and gives wealth, in spite of love for it, to relatives, orphans, the needy, the traveler, those who ask [for help], and for freeing slaves; [and who] establishes prayer and gives Charity; [those who] fulfill their promise when they promise; and [those who] are patient in hardship and during battle. Those are the ones who have been true, and it is those who are the righteous” Quran 2:177
