The Maulana (Shaikh Maulana Muhammad Ilyas (R.A) ) described this method (six points, khurooj, jaula etc) as the ABC of the Tabligh Mission, but it does not mean that ABC and XYZ are far removed from one another.Those whose eyes are set on appearances are incapable of observing reality in depth.

Tabligh; Nabiyon Ka Kaam?

2009-04-05T12:50:00.000-07:00

We always hear that 'Tabligh' is the work of the Ambiya (alaihimus salam). Is this true?Ambiyaa (a.s) came to the world to link mankind to the creater; to show mankind which actions are good, leading to the pleasure of Allah and which actions result in the wrath of Allah and to Jahannam. Every prophet of Allah from Adam (a.s) to Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) called mankind to what we term as usul al

Ta'leem

2009-03-21T13:19:00.000-07:00

The respect for the sayings (Ahadeeth) of the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him should prevent our attention from being diverted towards anyone else. Real urge for Deen is developed by listening to the virtues. A true urge induces action. Coherence between knowledge and action is created. Read in such a fashion that the listener's hearts become receptive. Do not add anything from your own

2008-12-09T14:00:00.000-08:00

Advice to a Da'ee

2008-09-01T13:07:00.000-07:00

Advice to a Da'ee( By Hadhrat Maulana Yusuf Rahmatullah Alaih)1- Allah's help continues to come to the aid of individuals all the time, but the fact that Allah's help does not come to the nations is due to the fact that the individuals of the nations do not perform righteous deeds as a whole. This means that only some individuals do. As long as a considerable amount of people do not do so, they

Why only six points?

2008-08-15T14:58:00.000-07:00

Why does the Tabligh Jamaat restrict its endeavour to the renowned 'six points' only? Why not seven points instead? In answer Maulana Imran Bhopali saheb said;1- The Tabligh Jamaat has selected only six points. They have toiled hard behind their implementation and they are presently doing so whilst encouraging others to do the same. If you do perceive any deficiency in these points, you may

The most superior form of Politics

2008-06-18T05:14:00.000-07:00

Why doesn't this sympathetic and philantrophic group - the Tablighi Jamaat - take active part in politics? Whereas politics also forms a part of Deen.In answer to this question, Maulana Imran Bhopali says;" The greatest form of politics nowadays lies in strengthening the I'tiqaadaat (tenets) and Ibadaat (acts of devotion) of the Ummah. This is the most superior form of politics in favour of this

Why does a person revert to his former condition upon returning from Jamaat?

2008-05-17T14:28:00.000-07:00

A brother observes:' Many raise objections against the Tablighi Jamaat remarking that a person degenerates to his former condition once he returns from the Jamaat. Allow me to ask that if a person after acquiring a certain branch of knowledge remains aloof from it for a number of years, will he be in a position to answer questions pertaining to this branch? Obviously not! Over the years, his

Regarding The Importance Of Ilm And Dhikr For Those Engaged In Tabligh:-1) All your Tabligh activities will be of no avail if, along with them, you do not pay proper attention to Ilm (knowledge) and Dhikr (remembrance of Allah).

In the case of Fada'il ( merits of good deeds) which also includes the habits and traits of the prophet Muhammad peace be upon him, Muhaddithin have unanimously relied upon da'if Ahadith, and have permitted its usage, and rightly so.

Following a discourse delivered by Hadhrat Ji Maulana Yusuf Saheb at a certain Ijtema (conference/gathering), the entire gathering except a few submitted their names to go out in Jamaat.

When will this Deen become 'our' Deen?

2008-03-07T07:08:00.000-08:00

Today man considers everything to belong solely to him. This is why when he is asked whose property, shop or farm this is, he replies:- ' It belongs to me. 'Now, since he considers these things to belong to him, he toils at it ever ready to sacrifice his life and wealth behind it. Similarly, when asked who the Deen (religion;Islam) belongs to, he answers ' It belongs to me! 'In spite of

Words of Hadhrat Maulana Yusuf (Rahmatullah Alayh)One misunderstanding that has sprouted up in the community is that many consider the Dawah activity to be for the invited only, and not for the inviter himself, and that since Dawah has reached everyone, there is practically no need for Dawah at this moment in time. This is a gross misunderstanding. If the invited is impressed by a single session
