    Tablighi Jamaat (Urdu: ‫تبلیغی جماعت‬, Tablīghī Jamā‘at; Arabic: ‫جماعة التبلیغ‬, Jamā‘at at-
    Tablīgh; Bengali: তাবলীগ জামাত; Hindi: तबलीगी जमात; English: The Outreach Society) is an
    ideological movement with emphasis on the sacrifices that were made by the companions of the
    Holy Prophet Muhammad and the teachings and practices of the prophets mosque in madina and
    ashabus suffah[5] to establish the true recognition of Allah by the invitation adopted by the holy
    Prophet Muhammad to correct the faith and actions in the early period of ignorance in the Arabian
    Peninsula. This movement incorporates the methodology of inviting Muslims by emphasising the
    greatness of one Allah to bring the true conviction of Allah's commands as show to us on the pattern
    of the Prophet Muhammad teachings (faith) it has no political affiliating or goal for global domination
    rather it pleads to the masses to recognise the object of your life in the last period of time where no
    more prophets are to come and the responsibility of Prophethood lays on the shoulder of every
    single follower of the Prophet Muhammed .The movements focus is based on the Sunni school of
    thought that rejects all innovations and extremism and request its followers to use the wisdom and
    character used by the Prophet Muhammad in his life to propagate the true Islam to the
    people,.[6][7][8] The organisation is estimated to have between 12 million[9] and 150 million
    adherents[3] (the majority living in South Asia[10]), and a presence in somewhere between 150[9] and
    200 countries.[3] It has been called "one of the most influential religious movements in 20th century
    Islam".[11]
    The movement was revived in 1927 by Muhammad Ilyas al-Kandhlawi in India in accordance to the
    teachings and practices that take place in the prophets mosque and Ashabus Suffah[12] .[13] Its stated
    primary aim is spiritual reformation of Islam by reaching out to Muslims across social and economic
    spectra and working at the grassroots level, to bring them in line with the group's understanding of
    Islam.[3][14] The teachings of Tabligh Jamaat are expressed in "Six Principles"
    (Kalimah, Salat, Ilm, Ikraam-e-Muslim, Ikhlas-e-Niyyat, Dawat-o-Tableegh).[15] Tablighi Jamaat
    believes that Muslims are in a constant state of spiritual Jihad in the sense of fight against evil, the
    weapon of choice is Dawah (proselytization) and that battles are won or lost in the "hearts of men."
    Tablighi Jamaat began as an offshoot of the Deobandi movement, and a response to perceived
    deteriorating moral values and a supposed negligence of aspects of Islam.[16] It expanded from a
    local to a national to an international movement.
    Tablighi Jamaat denies any affiliation in politics and fiqh (jurisprudence),[17] focusing instead on the
    Quran and Hadith,[17][18]and states that it rejects violence as a means for evangelism,[19] (although
    some have complained that adherents have become involved in politics in Pakistan). Tablighi
    Jamaat has claimed to avoid electronic media and in favor of personal communication for
    proselytising, although prominent Tablighi personalities such as Tariq Jameel are featured on an
    extensive range of Internet videos and often appear on TV.
    Tablighi Jamaat attracted significant public and media attention when it announced plans for the
    largest mosque in Europe to be built in London, United Kingdom.

    History[edit]
    The emergence of Tablighi Jamaat represented the intensification of individual reformation aspects
    of the original Deobandi movement. It was also a continuation of the broader trend of Islamic revival
    in India in the wake of the collapse of Muslim political power to the Maratha Empire and the
    subsequent consolidation of the British rule.
    The emergence of Tablighi Jamaat also coincided closely with the rise of various Hindu proselytizing
    movements such as Shuddhi(purification) and Sanghatan (consolidation) which launched massive
    efforts in the early twentieth century to reconvert Hindus who had converted to Islam and
    Christianity.[20]
    Origin[edit]
    The practices and teachings in the prophets mosque in madina and asabus Suffah[21] Muhammad
    Ilyas, the founder of Tablighi Jamaat, wanted to create a movement that would enjoin good and
    forbid evil as the Qur'an decreed,[22][23] as his teacher Rasheed Ahmad Gangohi dreamed of
    doing.[24] The inspiration for this came during his second pilgrimage to Mecca in 1926.[25] What he
    lacked in scholarly learning, presence, charisma or speaking ability, he made up for in zeal.[26] He
    initially tried to establish a network of mosque-based religious schools to educate
    the Mewati Muslims about Islamic beliefs and practices. Shortly afterwards, he was disappointed
    with the reality that these institutions were producing religious functionaries, but not preachers.[27]
    Muhammad Ilyas abandoned his teaching post at Madrasah Mazahir Uloom in Saharanpur and
    became a missionary for reforming Muslims (but he did not advocate preaching to non-Muslims). He
    relocated to Nizamuddin near Delhi, where this movement was formally launched in 1926,[27] or
    1927.[13] When setting the guidelines for the movement, he sought inspiration from the practices
    adopted by Muhammad at the dawn of Islam.[23] Muhammad Ilyas put forward the slogan, Urdu: ‫"!اﮮ‬
    "‫مسلمانو! مسلمان بنو‬, "O Muslims, become [true] Muslims!". This expressed the central focus of
    Tablighi Jamat: their aim to renew Muslims socially by uniting them in embracing the lifestyle of
    Muhammad. The movement gained a following in a relatively short period and nearly 25,000 people
    attended the annual conference in November 1941.[27]
    At the time, some Muslim Indian leaders feared that Muslims were losing their religious identity to
    the majority Hindu culture. The movement was never given any name officially, but Ilyas used to call
    it Tahrik-i Imaan.[28][29]
    The Mewat region where TJ started around Delhi[13] was inhabited by the Meos, a Rajput ethnic
    group, some of whom had allegedly converted to Islam, and then re-converted to Hinduism when
    Muslim political power declined in the region, lacking the necessary acumen (according to one
    author, Ballard) required to resist the cultural and religious influence of Hindus, prior to the arrival of
    Tablighi Jamaat.[20]
