Allah Taala says In Surah Hujrat
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنْ جَاءَكُمْ فَاسِقٌ بِنَبَإٍ فَتَبَيَّنُوا أَنْ تُصِيبُوا قَوْمًا بِجَهَالَةٍ فَتُصْبِحُوا عَلَى مَا فَعَلْتُمْ نَادِمِينَ (الحجرات: 6
إِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ إِخْوَةٌ فَأَصْلِحُوا بَيْنَ أَخَوَيْكُمْ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ (الحجرات: 10
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لاَ يَسْخَرْ قَومٌ مِنْ قَوْمٍ عَسَى أَنْ يَكُونُوا خَيْرًا مِنْهُمْ وَلاَ نِسَاءٌ مِنْ نِسَاءٍ عَسَى أَنْ يَكُنَّ خَيْرًا مِنْهُنَّ وَلاَ تَلْمِزُوا أَنفُسَكُمْ وَلاَ تَنَابَزُوا بِالأَلْقَابِ بِئْسَ الاِسْمُ الْفُسُوقُ بَعْدَ الإِيمَانِ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَتُبْ فَأُوْلَئِكَ هُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ (الحجرات:
11).
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اجْتَنِبُوا كَثِيرًا مِنْ الظَّنِّ إِنَّ بَعْضَ الظَّنِّ إِثْمٌ وَلاَ تَجَسَّسُوا وَلاَ يَغْتَبْ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا أَيُحِبُّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ لَحْمَ أَخِيهِ مَيْتًا فَكَرِهْتُمُوهُ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَوَّابٌ

[Surah Hujrat 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
[Surah Hujrat 49:10]
All believers are but brothers, therefore seek reconciliation between your two brothers, and fear Allah, so that you may be blessed with mercy.
[Surah Hujrat 49:11]
O you who believe, no men should ever scoff at other men. May be, the latter are better than the former. Nor should women (ever scoff) at other women. May be, the latter women are better than the former ones. And do not find fault with one another, nor call one another with bad nicknames. Bad is the name of sinfulness after embracing Faith. If anyone does not repent, then such people are the wrongdoers.
[Surah Hujrat 49:12]
O you who believe, abstain from many of the suspicions. Some suspicions are sins. And do not be curious (to find out faults of others), and do not backbite one another. Does one of you like that he eats the flesh of his dead brother? You would abhor it. And fear Allah. Surely Allah is Most-Relenting, Very-Merciful
If you go on internet almost all Islamic Forums are full with discussion on Tablighi Jamaat. Great Majority of comments are Pro Tablighi, but..........
either Pro or against this discussion anyway eating the valuable time and Resources of Muslim Ummah. That is loss of Humanity. So we have launched this series so that they will check issues in FAQs. and get the issue solved/known and will save their energy/time for some useful work instead of solved issues. It is hoped that Muslims will get help from this Series. Plz give suggestions.(JAZAKALLH)
1. Although Tablighi Jamaat elders has no ill will against those who are making allegation against Tablighi Jamaat. They have a written policy for criticism and allegations.Allah Taala says In Surah Hujrat

Maulana Inamul Hasan (R.A.)(died 1995) the former Amir of Tableeghi Jamaat has said."It is better that in case the objections and criticism if they are correct, rectify them .{No one is free from shortcomings} Whereas if they are wrong ,have patience (leave the matter to Allah)."
(Book Insight into dawah and its understanding & cognition Page No 181 translation of urdu book Dawat ki Faham o baseerat or uska Idrak)
2.But Majority of general Muslim are disgusted at the allegation and confusions spread ed against TJ by some muslims unknowingly/ knowingly under groupism Mentality. Actual culprit is Iblees/ shaitan.
3.So at ground it has become a kind of divide between Majority of Pro Tablighi People and some muslim groups with different subideologies opposing for different reasons.This is damaging the Muslim Ummah and the cause of Dawat o Tabligh and Islah.
4.Further complication comes as the elders /active members of Tablighi Jamaat donot involve/ Respond in these issues.so groups involved in bashing business are thinking of getting a free hand and although they are a small minority on their voice is loud on internet and you tube.
5.This is causing a silent anguish pain for great Majority of Islamic Scholars and General Muslims. Tablighi Jamaat elders has policy of non involvement in groupism/ bashing business. So some Scholars and General Public come for counterargument / clarification / exposing the made up lies.
6.Although not all but some of them also start using same language following the formula of Tit for tat (JAISE KO TAISA). This further complicate the situation the divide become still stronger and ultimately it is loss of Ummat.
7.So in the coming series of FAQs we will try to answer in brief in a scholary manner about the confusion/ allegations/ made up lies against Tablighi Jamaat.
We will be Fact Based, Polite without making any counter allegation, and with one of the aims to decrease the trend of groupism/ Bashing business among Muslims.
May Allah give us strength for telling the truth
