 (Titled“Islah Wal-Insaaf, La-Hadam Wala-Ait’saaf” )


All praise belong to Allah (SWT), the Lord of the worlds and salutations upon the best of Prophets & Messengers, our Nabi (Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam) and his family and his companions, thereafter...

I had the opportunity to review a compilation (of various writings) entitled, "Haqaiq Un Jamaatut-Tableegh" and before embarking upon discussing some of its constituents and highlighting some of its errors I would like to bring certain facts to the attention of esteemed readers from which many people are heedless. So understand! That to investigate and research news is a basic principle of Shariah and its injunction is plainly stated in the Qur'aan & Sunnah as Allah (SWT) states:
[49:6] O you who believe, if a sinful person brings you a report, verify its correctness, lest you should harm a people out of ignorance, and then become remorseful on what you did.
And Allah (SWT) states:
[4:94] O you who believe, when you go out in the way of Allah, be careful...
Sayyidina Abu Hurairah (RA) narrated that Sayyidina Rasul-ullah (Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam) said, "It is enough falsehood for a person to transmit everything he hears." [Muslim]

It is so because many people merely accept everything they hear or read and don't endeavour to investigate (its truth) and establish its authenticity and forget to act upon this basic principle which Allah (SWT) has commanded since those from amongst the Jinn and humans who are influenced by Shaytaan are busy in spreading falsehood and thus abandoning this basic principle enables many from amongst the people to abandon the truth and adopt falsehood until they begin to establish the realities of their lives upon falsehood and this has resulted in hatred, enmity and ill feelings between sons of Adam. These naive people will continue to harbour ill feelings towards Musliheen (those who attempt to make peace and reconcile) and good feelings towards Mufsids (those who attempt to spread vice and corruption) if they continue on their path of accepting everything (as truth) they read or hear.
How much blood has been shed, how many idols have been worshiped as a consequence of accepting random speeches and writings as truth? Similarly, some placed their belief in those in the grave that they can benefit or harm besides Allah (SWT) so innovations and baseless customs became widespread amongst them until devotion, humility, prayers, asking for help and even acts of worship were directed deities (other than Allah (SWT)) even though there is none worthy of worship besides Allah (SWT), Alone & Al-Mighty.
These thoughts compelled me to summarise these words lest someone develops ill feelings towards those who are engaged in work (of Tableegh) after reading "Haqaiq Un Jamaatut-Tableegh". In addition, one of my friends and companions (in Islam) requested me to warn others about the errors in the fore mentioned compilation and if this brother wouldn't have insisted on exposing the truth and highlighting the falsehood I perhaps wouldn't have engaged myself in this endeavour. May Allah (SWT) reward him from me and those of Islam. Indeed there are errors in "Haqaiq Un Jamaatut-Tableegh" and although we have Husnud-Dhun towards those who complied it that they must have meant Khair (good) during its compilation because our Husnud-Dhun is in accordance to the statement of Sayyidina Umar (RA):
As long as you continue to ascribe the works of a believer towards Khair (goodness) then don't ascribe it to evil.
But it is possible that a person may intend good but make an (earnest) mistake and that's why Sayyidina Abdullah Ibn Masood (RA) said:
Many amongst the people intend to perform goodness but don't achieve it.
