What do we Think of Dawat-e-Islami

[Ahle-Sunnah]

salaamu alaikum

I am new to this group and have recently started practising - pray for me that I stay Practising.

I just wanted to ask a question.

I am from nottingham, i pray and attend classes in bilal Masjid which is a deobandi masjid.

There was a brother there and he was basically saying that Dawat-e-islami are wrong and that you should not go with them.

From what i know Dawat-e-islami follow the sunnah and teach others to follow the sunnah. This is why i dont understand why he was saying this.

please could brothers or sister shed some light on this.

Are dawat-e-islami right or wrong?
thanks

Salam,

as with any group there is good and bad. What we must do is strive to take the good and leave aside the bad. Dawate-e-islami is for the most part good, alhamdulillah, so i think you should stick with them. Be careful though that you do not go to the extremes of calling other people deviant, innovators etc etc.

As with any jamaat, you should always avoid and be aware of "group mentality", where there is an "in" and "out" group. This applies to all groups, and we should be careful about this and also should hold the best opinions of our muslim brothers and sisters and make excuses for any errors we may see them making.

Assalamu 'alaikum brother Ahle-Sunnah,

Da'wate Islami is the emerging power of Ahle-Sunnah all over the Sub Continent, with millions of new memebers today,

they have only one mission:

Spread of the beloved Sunnah of our beloved Habeeb (sawas), and rejection and correction of all bid'ah zalalah whereever it exists.

For deviant people do exist in the Sub Continent, no one can deny this, if anyone is denying this then he is lying and does not know what he is talking about,

these deviant people act against the beloved Sunnah of Rasoolullah (sawas) and they must be corrected and be given dawaah. It is the right of Tableegh to take the TRUE MESSAGE to the ignorant and then leave it to that, for it is for the ignorant then to accept it or not.

Upholding of the True Sunnah of Islam is the Mission of Dawate Islami and the mission of the Maulana Ilyas Qadiri

This is their main mission in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal.

I wish you the best of success my brother, in all your ambitions and desires for spiritual excellence and want of knowledge.

with a huge amount of brotherly love and fikar and a big hug,

your brother

Salam,

so i guess you could say that dawate-islami is to the berelvis what the tableeghi jamaat is to the deobandis.

Assalamu Alaikum

May Allah allow me to speak the truth and guide me and us all, Aameen.

As one brother is asking about this group known as Dawat-e-Islami, I must inform him about how I have found them.

I live in Pakistan, so I have seen these people very closely. I request my brothers to please don't label me with any group name coz I don't stick to any groups called deobandis, salafis, or barelvis, whatever, but I pray salaat in the way Hanafis do, and I don't know much about Fiqh, and I have to decide after studying Islam properly, as to which Fiqh I should follow.

1. Dawat-e-Islami people call deobandis and wahabis, Kafir. Do you believe it?
This is what I have heard a lot from people and seen on this forum run by Barelvis: yanabi(dot)com/forum/

Do visit this website and its discussion forum, insha Allah you will find so much love from them towards non-barelvis.

2. Another observation is that they are in love with LOUD SPEAKERS, they collect people from the neighbourhood in the mosques and all the night long with Full Volume, they recite Naats (poetry in praise of Prophet s.a.w), in the name of MEELAD SHAREEF, or any Festivals, and their Speakers all the night hammer on your head and don't allow you to have a sleep. (I challenge anyone who will deny that.)

3. They are in love with going against the Quran, Sunnah and Ijma' (consensus) of Ummah, so lots of Innovations (Bidaat) you can observe in them.

4. They are too much inspired with Shias, most of their beliefs are in conformity with shi'ism. (e.g. Wilayat of Ali radhiyAllahu 'anhu, Sufisim, Praying to dead, grave worshipping coated with grave honouring).

5. And yes, before a couple of years they were encroaching different mosques out of deobandis (please don't think I am a deobandi, I am an OBSERVER).

6. In short the religion of this Dawat-e-Islami is wearing (only) green turbans, reciting naats and salaam, preaching Innovations, increasing noice pollution with Loud Speakers and declaring Non-Barelvis, Kafir.

I know many people won't appreciate this from me, but I am speaking the truth.

I speak this with the purest of intentions - May Allah reward you with jannah Only if you speak the truth.

im confused?

[auron]

green imamahs ,i think theres some in dewsbury call us kafir.

[iqadeer]

I don't know much about Dawat-e-Islami but alhamdollilah same service, i.e. spreading of sunnah and the love of Prophet has been carried out by our noble Tablighi brothers. While Dawat-e-Islami has recently emerged, the Tablighi Jamaat has been doing the noble effort for the past 75 years more or less, and shall I add, with a remarkable success too! Due to this noble effort, many people have attained divine grace and transformed their lives. One thing that attracts people to Tabligh a lot is the fact that they don't discuss partisanship, i.e., Deobandi/Barelvi/Wahabi conflict. In fact, many Tablighis are totally oblivious of such arguments. This allows them to concentrate on developing their spirituality instead of wasting their time over these contentious debates. I believe this is one of their principles as well.
