Does anyone know what is the opinion of the Ulema of Syria regarding the Tablighi jamaat? I think its already clear what is the stance of the Sunnis in the Indian subcontinent regarding it. Does anyone know what does Shaykh GF Haddad say concerning them?

[faqir]

Is there Tablighi Jamaat in Syria?

[Revan]

The Question is: Where is Tablig Jamaat not?

What is the stance of the Sunnis in Indian Subcontinent?

[faqir]

Depends on which sunnis you ask ;-)

Everyone has their own opinion on what each group or movement represents. For some the tableegi are a 'cult' who have a hidden agenda against Islam, for others they are the only movement upon the truth, and then u have many other views which fall in between.

I recall sheikh Nuh in his talk on the Nur of the Prophet, at the end of the lecture during question and answer session, someone asked him about sects. In his response Sheikh Nuh gave examples of what a sect is and what constitutes a school of thought, and he gave examples for each. Then he mentioned the Tableegi Jamat and mentioned them as a school of thought in eeman movement.

Thats what the Tableegi are they go around trying to better themselves and are hoping to help other brothers better themselves too, so in the good support them.

This is not to say that you do not have elements or members within the movement who's motives and understanding may be ulterior or incorrect etc. I personally do not sit in their gatherings and go round with them when they are in our locality doing what they do best, but i sure do not harbour any enmity against them.

Dear Brother The Islamic movement of Tabligh Jamaat had attracted thousand of muslims and helped to reform their life.There is no doubt about this.Some of the members may be hoping to equal or excel the saints and even Prophets in A'MAL(Divine Services) as stipulated in their literature(there is proof).But the irony of the movement is that it is NOT meant for the ARABS.Then how can a Syrian Alim or any other ARAB scholar get involved?
Here are the words of MAWLANA Muhammad Ilyas Sahib.(d.1363.AH),the founder of Tbligh Jamaat,as quoted by his close disciple Mawlana Mhammad Manzur Noa'mani,in MALFUZAT E MUHAMMAD ILYAS(Net Edition)
This documentalso reveals the FALSE Foundation upon which the edifice of Tabligh Jamaat was built.(Kindly verify with original Urdu.I am ready to accept mistakes)

Section-50_MAFUZAT E MUHAMMAD ILYAS SAHIB.
“Dreams are a 46th part of prophethood. Some people have advanced
so much by the implications of their true dreams that those stages could
not be anained by strenuous spiritual exercises and other religious
efforts. They are inspired with correct knowledge in their dreams which is
in turn is a part of prophethood. Hence why should they not progress.
Knowledge increases recognition and through recognition,. proximity
to Allah increases. We are therefore commanded to make du'aa for an
increase in knowledge. "Say, 0 Allah! Increase me in khnowledge." He
then said, "These days I am spiritually inspired by dreams and
therefore make an effort that I get more sleep. (Due to his illness.
Maulana slept very little). After consulting the Hakeem Sahib and
doctor, I have had my head massaged with oil by means of which I cansleep more
He continued saying,
"The method of Tabligh was opened to me in a
dream. The tafsir of the aayah. "You are the best ummat taken out for
mankind. You command good and prohibit evil and you believe in
Allah," was inspired to me in a dream that you i.e. the Muslim Ummat.
like the prophets have been selected for the benefit of all mankind and
the meaning of 'ukhrijat','t aken out' , is that you are not to concentrate
your effort at one place but it will be necessary for you to move from
place to place, door to door.
Your work is to invite to what is good and stop the bad, and after this
" you believe in Allah" is mentioned. It is made clear that by means of
inviting to what is good, your lmaan will strengthen (Ps the possession
of your lmaan is already implied in "you are the best of ummats").
Thus, our intention should not be the guidance of others but to benefit
ourselves. "Taken out for the benefit of mankind, by mankind here is
not meant the Arabs, but non Arabs. As for the the Arabs, Allah has
mentioned: " You are not to be a compelling ruler over them and you
are not responsible for them", (in which it is indicated that their
guidance has been decreed. You should not worry much about them).
"You are the best of ummats," refers originally to the Arabs and
'mankind' refers to the non Arabs because after this ayat we read, "if
only the People of the Book had believed, it would have been better for
them." In this, there is a link, because here it is stated "it would have
been better for them" and not " for you" because the muballigh perfects
his lmaan through tabligh itself whether the addressee accepts or rejects
and if the addressee accepts, then it is for his own benefit. The benefit
of the mubaligh (preacher) is not dependant upon people accepting or
rejecting.”
