Assalam O Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu,
Objection. 1. He has tried to prove Tablighi Jamaat as Grave Worshipper (Nauzubillah, May Allah save all from Grave Worship) .He has given two Evidence to Prove his Claim.
EVIDENCE NO 1;
that the grave worship / Bidah rituals at shrine Shaykh Khawaja Nizamuddin Awliya (RA) is associated with Tablighi Jamaat Dawah centre. (May Allah pardon sheikh for his false accusation)
His quotes "Nidhaam ud-Deen, this is a masjid nearby the da?wah center of Jamaa?at ut-Tableegh, and inside of it are five graves, atop which are domes, which are worshipped alongside of Allaah, a clear worship, no dust on it (i.e. a figurative expression meaning that it is plain for everyone to see). "
The Truth and Fact of matter
He has made a 100 % lie and baseless allegation that the grave worship / Bidah rituals at shrine Shaykh Khawaja Nizamuddin Awliya (RA) is associated with Tablighi Jamaat Dawah centre
The details of the matter
1. Nizamuddin is not a mosque name Rather a big locality in New Delhi, There is Nizamuddin East and Nizamuddin West.It has Nizamuddin Railway Station, Many historical Monuments, and many residential area with both Muslims and Non Muslim Population.
2. The area of Nizamuddin (Dehi, India) also has shrine of Shaykh Khawaja Nizamuddin Awliya (RA) and many Muslims and Non Muslims flock to his gravesite from around the world to perform various rituals and practises .
3. The Tableeghi Markaz of “Tableeghi Jamaat” has NOTHING to do with the shrine or the grave site or any rituals, nothing in common geographically or in administration.
4. they are located at a distance of nearly 400-500 meter there are shops and roads between them and it is not continuous. It is not that if you are going Dawah centre you have to visit grave. No it is not.
5. There is no participation from “Tableeghi Jamaat” in the rituals and customs of the gravesite of Shaykh Khawaja Nizamuddin Awliya (RA) . Calling “Tableeghi Jamaat” grave worshippers just because they perform Shura in the Mosque is like calling Muslims who frequent a Mosque near a church “Christians”!
6. Tablighi Jamaat being part of Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat respect Aulia Allah as Allah and
Shaykh Khawaja Nizamuddin Awliya (RA) was a wali who helped a lot in spreading Islam in Indian subcontinent.

verily the friends of Allah are ( those) on whom fear (cometh) not, nor do they grieve?
EVIDENCE NO 2
His next Quote to Prove Grave Worship is
Then we went out to the masjid of Jamaa?at ut-Tableegh,..................that the grave of Illiyaas was in the masjid, and next to it, the grave of his wife.
The Truth and Fact of matter
Yes ,I know that the prophet Hazrat Mohammed ﷺ(sallallahu alaihi wasallam) grave is also inside of prophet ﷺ mosque complex in Madeena.
We came through some of the statements/Views/writing attributed to Sheikh Rabee' bin Haadee al-Madkhalee on Internet that has been projected as his criticism of Tablighi Jamaat.
Before answering some Clarification.
1.
We respect all the Muslim and special respect for Ulema and Scholars,We
follow ikram e Muslim.So this should not be regarded as reply to
Shaikh,Rather a simple explanation of facts at ground.Maulana Inamul Hasan (R.A.)(died 1995) the former Amir of Tableeghi Jamaat has said.
"It
is better that in case the objections and allegation if they are
correct, rectify them .{No one is free from shortcomings} Whereas if
they are wrong ,have patience (leave the matter to Allah)."
(Insight into dawah and its understanding & cognition Page No 181
translation of urdu book Dawat ki Faham o baseerat or uska Idrak)
2. We dont know exactly what Sheikh Rabee' bin Haadee al-Madkhalee said because we have not got these article from any neutral source.
3.This
answer is based on what has been circulated by some brothers/websites
who donot hesitate to tell lie for maligning Tablighi Jamaat and their
agenda is not any correction rather confusing general muslims to promote
their group ideology.
But What we have got on internet respected sheikh has raised following Points.
EVIDENCE NO 1;
that the grave worship / Bidah rituals at shrine Shaykh Khawaja Nizamuddin Awliya (RA) is associated with Tablighi Jamaat Dawah centre. (May Allah pardon sheikh for his false accusation)

His next Quote to Prove Grave Worship is
Then we went out to the masjid of Jamaa?at ut-Tableegh,..................that the grave of Illiyaas was in the masjid, and next to it, the grave of his wife.
The Truth and Fact of matter
A Rumor spreaded by many
"Do you not know that the grave of the founder of jamaa’ah Tabligh is inside of masjid?"
And Hazrat Abu Bakar and Hazrat Umar grave is also there.
There are two different things
1. The Mosque
2. The Mosque Complex
Mosque comlex may have toilets,bath rooms,car parking ,kitchen etc.................
In Markaz nazamuddin mosque compound so
many things............2-3 Big Ablution pound..............Hundreds of
Toilets .............Hundreds of Bath Room..............Space for
Kitchen, Store room...............There also on a rear end graves of Maulana Ilyas and his wife and few others.
the position of grave is completely outside area where masjid is located. The graves are present in the extreme back corner of compound. In some documents/video spreaded on Internet some misguided people has falsely shown that graves are in between mosque. They took help of Phtoshop for prooving their false claim.NOOO..................... it is on the east side rear corner (opposite side of Qiblah, From India Qiblah is towards west)

But because place was not sufficient the masjid was extended and the graves came near the masjid compound. But not in Masjid.
The Messenger Muhammad
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and his two companions [Abu
Bakr and ‘Umar] (may Allaah be pleased with them) were not buried in the
mosque,
rather they were buried
in the house of ‘Aa’ishah,Raziallahu Anha but when the mosque was
expanded the room was incorporated into the mosque compound, at the end
of the first century AH.
This action does not come under the ruling of burial in the mosque, because the Messenger ﷺ (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and his two companions were not
moved to the land of the mosque, rather the room in which they are
buried was incorporated into the mosque compound because of the
expansion.
These graves was actually away from masjid and outside the complex also till the new construction of 1995-96.But because place was not sufficient the masjid was extended and the graves came near the masjid compound. But not in Masjid.
Even in Masjide Nabvi there are graves of proiphet and Khulfa e Rashedin.
Situation of graves in Nizamuddin is very less compared to Masjid e Nabwiﷺ
Situation of graves in Nizamuddin is very less compared to Masjid e Nabwiﷺ
..................It
is one of the rear end on east side in a closed room that remain
closed....................for 24*7 and 365
days....................................
No one even cares or know about graves
it is a closed walled. Even if you remain there for days you may not
see/aware with them.....................
In sheikh Muhammad Jihani video talk one Aalim has rightly said that we tell people not to ask from Graves the Tablighi people say not even to ask from live people .......Wallah........

Only he can give strenth.May Allah help us to be neutral and free from group mentality and to keep Islam first. May
Allah give us taufeeq to tell truth in anger and happiness. May Allah
save all muslims from evil of Nafs (Self ego). Only Allah can give the
strength. Requesting for Dua.
Allah knows everything and he is supreme
We should be fearful from Allah for his Anger and should seek his pleasure rather pleasure of any group/personality.
