I don't think that's right:

i did not get my information from a website, as you did.

i was told this by two respected members of tablighi jamaat, both of which are licensed medical doctors.

let me guess that you have never stepped inside of a masjid?


Tablighi Jamaat is a global Islamic missionary and religious organization that focuses on spreading Islamic teachings and values, particularly among Muslims. The term "Tablighi Jamaat" translates to "Society for Preaching" or "Proselytizing Group" in Arabic.

Tablighi Jamaat is known for its emphasis on individual spiritual reformation and personal religious practice, as well as its commitment to encouraging Muslims to become more observant of their faith. The organization's primary activities include:

  1. Dawah (Preaching): Tablighi Jamaat members, known as "Tablighis," travel to different mosques and communities to invite fellow Muslims to engage in religious activities, such as prayer, recitation of the Quran, and studying Islamic texts. They aim to rekindle and strengthen the faith of practicing Muslims and encourage those who may have lapsed in their religious duties.

  2. Congregational Prayers and Religious Gatherings: Tablighi Jamaat encourages Muslims to participate in congregational prayers, especially in mosques, and to attend religious gatherings where they can learn and discuss religious teachings.

  3. Short-Term Preaching Missions: The organization is known for organizing short-term preaching missions, typically lasting for three days, 40 days, or four months. During these missions, Tablighi members travel in small groups to different regions to engage with the local Muslim community and encourage religious practice.

  4. Apolitical Stance: Tablighi Jamaat claims to be apolitical and focused solely on religious activities. It does not involve itself in political matters and refrains from taking positions on political issues.

Tablighi Jamaat has a presence in various countries around the world and has millions of followers. It operates independently of any government and is generally regarded as a non-political Islamic movement. However, it has faced controversies and scrutiny in some regions, with concerns related to its strict interpretation of Islam and its perceived lack of transparency.

It's important to note that Tablighi Jamaat is a decentralized organization, and its activities and practices may vary from one region to another. Some people view it as a positive force for religious revival and personal piety, while others have criticized it for being exclusive or for not addressing certain contemporary issues.

Close. I've stepped inside the Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque. But only just inside.
