Maulana Manzoor Naumani (RA)'s book on Tableeghi Jamaat

[Colonel_Hardstone]

Asslamo Allaikum,

Maulana Manzoor Naumani (RA) wrote a book and answered some of the allegations levelled at Tableghi Jamaat (like using Jihad Ayaat for Khurooj):

a) What is the name of the book?

b) Is there an English translation?

Jazakullah Khairun

[keekee]

I haven't heard of that one....but there are quite a few others.

Mufti Mahmud Hasan Gangohi & the Tablighi Jamaat
by
Shaikhul Hadith Maulana Fadlur Rahman Azmi
in which allegations are refuted very well.

Tabligh Movement
by
Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
is excellent; he's not a Tablighi so its a book written without bias.

This book has an excellent reply to the Jihad thingummyjig:
Tabligh made easy
by
Mufti Afzal Hoosen Elias
under the chapter Tabligh, Daawat, Jihad, Qitaal
you can get this book from http://www.alislam.co.za

Another must read:
Insight into Dawah & its understanding & cognition
by
Syed Muhammad Shahid Saharanpuri

Guys,regardless of the proofs you put forward, some people will still keep on using the same basis for criticising. If one does not honour the opinion of a particular scholar,then one dosent take his opinion.

So we can say These high calibre scholars have answered the questions but they will keep on asking and criticising. Pople liek brother xs11ax simply believe that the ayaahs of jihad simply cannot and should not be used for khurooj. thats the argument.

So its pointless really giving these books to them as it wont make a difference,at all.

Its like xs11ax keeps on saying that TJ is against tasawwuf,when clearly its not. Hp has got khilafat. The elders in nizamuddin/raiwind themselves are bay't to shaykhs and so have hundreds and thousands of the awaam, but no, he still will keep on saying TJ is against tasawwuf.

True. Shaykh Zakariya rahmatullah alaihs son came over from India recently; Nizamuddin and with him was another scholar, Tablighi from Nizamuddin and he stressed very much on three things Tabligh, Taleem & Tasawwuf.
I guess some people are too stuck to their views to change....

on that note its a good idea for everyone to try read this book:
Boundaries of differences
by
Mufti Mahmud Hasan Gangohi

(this isnt the book you were talking about most likely, since it only consists of statements)

Words & Reflections
of Maulana Mohammad Ilyas (Rah)
(The Revivalist of Tabligh)
Compiled by Maulana Muhammad Manzoor No'mani
Translated by Hafiz Safwan Muhammad
Hardback 318 Pages

Includes section with brief biographies of selected personalities mentioned within the book.

This a collection of words and reflections of Maulana Muhammad Ilyas The founder of the Tabligh Movement noted down by Maulana Muhammad Manzoor Nu'mani who is an established scholar and Historian from the Nadwa tul Ulemah.

Maulana Muhammad Ilyas, the founder of the Tablighi Jama’at of South Asian subcontinent, is arguably one of the most influential, yet least well-known , figures of the twentieth century Islam. Despite his enormous contribution towards the development of a powerful grass root Islamic Da’wah movement, Mawlana Ilyas has not received much attention in the literature on modern Islamic movements. Most of the Western, and even Muslim, scholarships have remain occupied with the more spectacular and dramatic manifest ions of Islamic revivalist upsurge. The available literature on Maulana Ilyas and his Tablighi movement is mostly in Urdu and that too consists mainly of inspirational works by its leaders and devotional writings by its followers and supporters.

Once when someone pointed out that his movement was "too narrowly focused" and did not address the larger issue of socio-political reforms in Muslim society, the Mawlana responded that this narrow focus in the initial phase of the movement was necessitated by the available manpower and that the movement could grow to encompass a larger and more comprehensive program in the future. It is unfortunate that those who succeeded Mawlana Ilyas did not realize his larger vision and saw the Mewat model of Da’wah as eternally fixed. Nevertheless, the fruits of Mawlana Ilyas’s efforts are visible all over the world today.

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked about the Tableegh Jamat and he said:

Usually in every issue there are two extremes and a middle way. Some people praise this group a great deal and encourage going out with them; others condemn them a great deal and warn against them more than they would warn you about a lion. And some people tread a middle path between those two extremes.

I think that there is some good in this group; they call others to Islam and have a clear influence that no other daa’iyahs have had. How many kaafirs have become believers at their hands, and how many evildoers has Allaah guided through them?

Moreover they have an attitude of humility and selflessness that is not found in many others.

Some people say that they have no knowledge of hadeeth, and so on.

They are undoubtedly good people, but I think that those of them who are in Saudi do not go to Pakistan or other countries, and we do not know anything about the ‘aqeedah of those people (in other countries) or their manhaj (methodology). But there is nothing wrong with the manhaj followed by our companions here in Saudi.

With regard to limiting da’wah to three or four days, or to two or four or six months, or two years, there is no shar’i evidence for that. But they think that this has to do with organization. If a person goes out for three days, and knows that he is limited to these three days, he will focus his mind and forget about worldly matters. This is the matter of organization, and is not an act of worship or a matter of sharee’ah.

I think, may Allaah bless you, that if you have the opportunity to seek knowledge then it is better to do that, because seeking knowledge is good and the people nowadays have a great need for scholars who have knowledge of the Sunnah and who are well-versed in knowledge. If you are not able to seek knowledge, and you go out with them in order to purify yourself, there is nothing wrong with that. There are many people whom Allaah has guided at their hands.

Alhamdulliah, I know many many scholars, who decided to become alims after spending some time. One guy i know,literally spent 3 days and it such an impact on him that he went away and enrolled in a Darul Uloom and has become a scholar.

That is one of the objectives of this work that alims,scholars,hufaz,darul ulooms,masajids,maktabs etc become revived.

Poeple get blinded by looking at what we have tody and don't bother looking at the state of this country with regards to the above 50 years ago. Im not saying TJ has done all that but its had some say.

[Ibn_Harith]

Masha Allah, at least there is some appreciation of Tableegh by a salafi alim unlike a few others.
