The austere and egalitarian lifestyle of Tablighi missionaries and their principled stands against social ills leads many outside observers to assume that the group has a positive influence on society. Because of the movement’s secrecy, scholars often have no choice but to rely on explanations from Tablighi Jamaat acolytes.Īs a result, academics tend to describe the group as an apolitical devotional movement stressing individual faith, introspection, and spiritual development. By eschewing open discussion of politics and portraying itself only as a pietistic movement, Tablighi Jamaat works to project a non-threatening image. Tablighi Jamaat neither has formal organizational structure nor does it publish details about the scope of its activities, its membership, or its finances.
Tablighi Jamaat officials work to remain outside of both media and governmental notice. And most importantly, Tablighi Jamaat has actively contributed towards Islamic jihad and terrorism by operating as the recruitment front-desk of Al Qaeda, Islamic State etcetera.ĭespite its size, worldwide presence, and tremendous importance, Tablighi Jamaat remains largely unknown outside the Muslim community, even to many scholars of Islam. They also have the ambition of bringing all the “non-Muslim” nations under the flag of Islam.
The largest group of religious proselytizers of any faith, they are part of the reason for the explosive growth of Islamic religious fervor and conversion. They are trained missionaries who have dedicated much of their lives to spreading Islam across the globe. The devotees or attendees of Tablighi Jamaat are no ordinary Muslims, though they belong to a movement called Tablighi Jamaat (“Proselytizing Group”). Actually, the number is increasing everywhere in the world, wherever Tablighis are having its existence. Meaning, the number of attendees in the Tablighi Jamaat in Bangladesh has been on rise. The annual congregation of Tablighis in Bangladesh although have been held for consecutive three days for years, since 2018, it has started holding two consecutive congregations – each for three days – which is held with a pause of seven days. Similar gatherings take place every year in Tongi industrial district in Bangladesh and Bhopal in India.
Most possibly, this is for the first time, Indian policymakers have at least realized the potential threats posed by this notorious group, which already was known to the counterterrorism community in the world as a serious challenge to the global peace.ĭuring every winter, over a million almost identically dressed, bearded Muslim men from around the world descend on the small Pakistani town of Raiwind for a three-day celebration of faith. Coronavirus pandemic has once again brought the Tablighi Jamaat into focal point of the media and the counterterrorism experts.
