These are investigative reports and letters of SaudiScholars upon Tableeghi Jamaat which to the best of ourknowledge has never been presented in its entirety in theEnglish language along with its original sources. Werequest the readers to inform us of our errors.

There is enormous misconception amongst the English speaking western Muslims that the ArabScholars in general and Saudi Scholars in particular have an axe to grind with Tableeghi Jamaatand they totally refute and condemn this work of Dawah. Reality on the ground with hundreds ofthousands of Arabs (worldwide) laymen, Scholars and students (of knowledge) alike who areengaged in this work of Dawah paints a different picture, altogether.

The work of Tableegh, its methodology and its workers (laymen, Scholars and students (ofknowledge) alike are neither perfect nor free from error as Shaykh Ibn Baz (RA) himself stated thatdeficiency is in itself part of human nature, however to present an exaggerated (false) side of thepicture in condemnation is neither fair nor Islamically acceptable.

Which Islamic group engaged in revival of Islam is perfect and free from error?

We are neither part of the Tableeghi Jamaat, nor participate in its activities and aware of ourshortcomings and deficiencies in both Arabic and the English language. However, we felt that it isnecessary to make these reports available to English speaking Muslims as to the best of ourknowledge they have never been produced previously. We have tried to be as faithful to the originaltext as possible but to err is human and we request our readers to inform us of my errors andshortcomings.

Shaykh Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah bin Baz (HA) to Falih Ibn NafiAl-Harbi

Correspondence 889 (خ) dated 12th of Sha’baan 1406 AH (22nd of April 1986)

In the name of Allah (SWT), the most beneficent the most Merciful

From Abdul-Aziz Ibn Baz (RA) to honourable brother respected Shaykh Falih Ibn Nafi Al-Harbi (HA)and may Allah (SWT) increase his Baseerah (foresight for Islam) and expand his breast for actionssuited for His (SWT)’s pleasure (Ameen).

Asslamo Allaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh,

And thereafter, I received your letter dated 22nd of Rajab 1406 AH and the objections raisedtowards Tableeghi Jam’aat I understood. Whatever I wrote regarding the Tableeghi Jamaat andbefore me our respected Shaykh (Allamah) Muhammad Ibn Ibraheem Al-Shaykh (RA) [who was theMufti of the of this Kingdom of Saudia in his time] who also praised Tableeghi Jamaat and Iunderstood your objections towards it. You have devalued Shaykh (Allamah) Muhammad IbnIbraheem Al-Shaykh (RA)by referring to him as “Ibn Ibraheem” and I disliked it! And I also dislikedthose whom you have referred to who have disagreed with the Shaykh (RA) with regards to hisopinion regarding Tableeghi Jamaat and I am astonished! Where is their knowledge and theiropinion (in comparison)? (Who are they) compared to the Baseerah, understanding, depth inknowledge, foresight and steadfastness of our Shaykh (RA)? We (Alhumdolillah) are uponBaseerah on our Deen and we don’t compare benefits and harms and we prefer where our heartfinds peace. We investigated the affairs of the Tableeghi Jamaat and our contentment (of the heart)is towards agreement and alongside it those are deficient should be encouraged to reform(themselves) out of good will because deficiency is part of human nature apart from whom Allah(SWT) protects.

If our teachers and student brothers whom you have pointed to should have kept in touch with these(Tableeghi) people and participated in their work (of Tabeelgh) and guided them and tried to reformtheir deficiencies and shortcomings and guided them where they committed mistakes it would be ofgreat benefit to Islam and Muslims. But, to hate them and to stay away from them and to warnpeople from mixing with them is a mistake and its harm is greater than its benefit. So my brother!Reconsider your opinion and beseech your Lord (SWT) with humility to expand your breast towardsactions which are pleased to Him (SWT) and which bring benefit to his bondsmen and to show youthe path of truth in this matters (of difference of opinion) and I ask Allah (SWT) to show me and youtruth as truth and falsehood as falsehood and to abstain from it as His (SWT)’s special favour andnot to let the haqq and falsehood become (mixed up) upon us otherwise we will be misguided andSurely He (SWT) is Capable of it and Owner of it.

Was-Salamo Allaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh,

Addendum:

You have referred to honourable Shaykh Muhammad Amaan (HA) that he has retracted his opinionin which he has praised Tableeghi Jamaat and stated that they are the originator of fictitious talesand baseless stories and people of Bid’ah. So know that Shaykh (HA) has denied this and isastonished by these opinions (attributed to him) and has stated that I had written from observationand Yaqeen and I am still of the same opinion (of praising Tableeghi Jamaat) and whosoever askshim about the Tableeghi Jamaat he refers to his report (of Bangaldesh Ijtema) so it’s wrong toattribute this opinion towards him.

Shaykh Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah bin Baz (RA) to (Dr)Taqiduddin HilaliCorrespondence 889 (خ) dated 12th of Sha’baan 1406 AH (21st of July 1983)

In the name of Allah (SWT), the most beneficent the most Merciful

From Abdul-Aziz Ibn Baz (RA) to honourable brother respected Dr Muhammad Taqiuddin Hilali(HA) and may Allah (SWT) grant him Taufeeq towards Khair (Ameen).

Asslamo Allaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh,

And thereafter, I received your letter dated 12th of Sha'baan 1403 AH and may Allah (SWT)immerse you in His guidance. What you have alluded to I have understood and you want to know myopinion about stopping the Salary of brother Ahmed Muhaani when he goes out with TableeghiJamaat. I would like to give beneficial advice that his Salary which we deliver through you will becontinued because his going out with Tableeghi Jamaat is not condemned tourism because hewanders in cities and towns for Dawah (towards Allah (SWT)) and meets honourable people andnot so (honourable) and their (Tableeghi) Ijtemaas which occur in Bangladesh are attended by manypeople (honourable and not so) as we have been told by those trustworthy Ulamah who we weresent to attend the Ijtema last year.

Your condemnation of their Khurooj (i.e. going in the path of Allah (SWT)) and your proof that thestatement of Al-Hafidh Ibn Haj'r (Al-Asqalani (RA)) that a person wanders around and considers hiswandering his worship and chooses to live (in solitude) in caves, hilltops and jungles is contrary tothe actions of Tableeghi Jamaat because these people don't leave (their homes) for solitude ratherthey exit for the benefit and reform of people, thus there is difference between them and those seeksolitude.

And we beseech Allah (SWT) to give you Taufeeq towards actions for His (SWT)'s pleasure forverily he is Most Beneficent.

Shaykh Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah bin Baz (RA) to Audh Ibn AudhAl-QahtaaniIn the name of Allah (SWT), the most beneficent the most Merciful

From Abdul-Aziz Ibn Baz (RA) to honourable brother respected Audh Ibn Audh Al-Qahtaani and mayAllah (SWT) increase his knowledge and Eemaan and increase His (SWT)'s abundance andblessings upon him, wherever he (Audh) may be. (Ameen)

Asslamo Allaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh,

And thereafter,I received Your letter and whatever you have elucidated in it I have understood thequestion about Tableeghi Jamaat and as to whether their methodology is correct? Is their methodand framework correct and there any obstacles in joining them and what is the status of leaving inthe path of Allah (SWT) with them?

People narrate differing accounts regarding them, some praise them while others object to them butwe have enquired about them from trustworthy brothers from Najd (Saudia) who have accompaniedthem in their travels and also made journeys to India/Pakistan and they have not made any mentionof matters which are objectionable in Shariah or would prevent in joining them. I have alsowitnessed many people who have spent time with them and they went out with them because theywere impressed by them and their condition and ideas about Deen, Akhlaaq (morals) and Aakhirahad become good, therefore I see no impediment in leaving with them and to cooperate with themin Dawah. Moreover, people of knowledge and foresight should engage in this work (of Dawah) andshould correct and reform if they (people of Tableegh) commit any mistakes or errors because thereis impressive effect in their Seerah and actions and those who are well known in indulgence in sinsand divergent from Deen are effected by their companionship and with this I am enclosing a letter ofour teacher Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Ibraheem Aal Shaykh (RA)in which he praised this Jamaat andits work and therein he encourages people to make Nusrah (provide assistance to them) andprevents people from placing impediments in their path. In the letter he mentions that their main aimis to give sincere advice and talks in the Masajid, to guide people towards (goodness) and toestablish people towards Tauheed and good Aqai'd and to encourage them to act upon the Kitaab& Sunnah to prevent them from Bi'daa and (blameworthy) useless matters. You will also findattached a photocopy of research by our trustworthy brothers rector Muhammad Amman Ibn Ali(rector of Jamia Islamiyya, Hadeeth and teaching) Madina Munawwara who was sent last year bythe Jamia accompanied by Shaykh Abdul-Kareem Muraad who is also a teacher and he is knownamongst us and also knows Urdu language along with Arabic as he attends the annual Ijtema inPakistan, regularly.

The summary of their report is that their work is praised and people are encouarged to join this workof Dawah and to attend the Ijtemaas and to treat (the people of Tableeghi Jamaat) with goodnessand excellent manners.

Shaykh Muhammad Amaan Jami (HA) & Shaykh Abdul-KareemMurad (HA)

Eye witness account of Bangladesh (Tableeghi) IjtemaTableeghi Jamaat sent an invitation towards Jamia Islamiyya (Madina Munawwara) and requestedattendance at the major Tableeghi Ijtema in the Dhaka, capital of Bangaldesh so the Jamiaaccepted the invitation and I (Muhammad Amaan Ibn Ali Jami) from the faculty of Hadeeth andAbdul-Kareem Murad from the faculty of Shariah were sent to attend the Ijtema and we departed onSunday morning the 10th of Safar 1399 (9th of January 1979) from Madina airport via Jeddah toKarachi (Pakistan). We arrived at Jeddah airport at 06:30 and immediately due to the interventionof president of Jamia library Mr. Musfir Zahraani, reached the office of Pakistan InternationalAirlines because our reservations at Pakistan International Airlines were completed (in advance).The formalities at the airport were completed in less than 10 minutes and we reached the departurelounge in no time to prepare for our departure but here we were informed of this unfortunate andunexpected news that due to a technical problem (in the plane) the departure will be delayed for anunspecified period.

We kept waiting for this unspecified period as the airline had not given us a timeframe or perhaps itwas not possible for them to give us a timeframe until the time for Dhohar Salat reached which weprayed at the airport since it was not permitted for us to leave the airport premises and then wewere invited for lunch which affirmed to us that the delay will be even longer. Similarly we waited untilafter Esha Salah on Monday night and eventually the departure was announced to be at 23:00 andyet the departure actually occurred after midnight. Thus our travel towards Karachi started and sincewe were exhausted (of all the waiting) we fell fast asleep because this was our rest after a long tiringwait at Jeddah (airport) and we woke up with the announcement that we were near Karachi airport.We praised Allah (SWT) that we reached here with safety and reached Karachi a little before Subh-Sadiq (true dawn) and prayed our morning prayers at our residence at the hotel. After some rest wemade Mushwara on whether to proceed towards Lahore (Pakistan) or Dhaka (Bangaldesh) as perthe previous program and it was decided to proceed to Dhaka (Bangaldesh) to attend the Ijtema soour primary objective is not delayed (in completion).

We spent Wednesday (the 12th of Safar 1399) at the reservations office hoping to purchase ticketsfor Thursday however we discovered that there were only two flights to Dhaka from Karachi, aPakistani flight on Tuesday and a Bangladeshi flight on Friday and there was no third flight. Thus wereserved seats for the Friday flight and with the Will of Allah (SWT) after Asar started our journeyand reached Dhaka Airport in the last part of the night.

A Rabita (welcoming) Jamaat was present at the airport to welcome us and other (foreign)attendees and with them there some Pakistani & Sudani companions whom we had prioracquaintance. They performed the necessary formalities at the airport, there was specialdispensation for Ijtema attendees that they were not physically searched and even our luggagewasn't searched and yet everyone else was fully searched. We were then transported to a nearbyMasjid so that the guests can be distributed and directed towards their (temporary residence)during their stay which was close to the Ijtema site. Our assignment was done before Fajar Salahand we even managed to take a little nap before the Adhan of Fajar prayers. After Adhan weperformed our Fajar prayers at the nearby Masjid. This Masjid was a huge hall which was created inan open field and in our estimation it may have been 1 ½ kilometre long and 1 kilometre long andable to hold 1 million people (for stay as well as prayers) and all of them pray behind one Imamwithout the use of loudspeakers. In order to facilitate the sound of the Imam to reach everyone therewere many people appointed at various places (to relay the sound) so that people may follow theImam. I don't know why they didn't use loudspeakers for Salah when loud speakers were used forspeeches, sending Jamaats and giving them (Jamaats) necessary guidance.

How the setting and arrangement of Ijtema was done and how the material was organised andused, the details are astonishing to hear because the temporary Masjid and lodging of (foreign)guests were all made from light-weight material which was meant to be returned to the shops thus itremained useable and able to be resold. And what was this material? Tin, Bamboo sticks, jute andropes were the primary constituents, nails are not used so the material remains (reusable) andsince the traders and the factory owners have temporarily lent this material they are the ones who doits setting and arrangement and after Ijtema they themselves easily disassemble the whole lot. Tobring (people) to the right path in an Islamic environment this temporary Masjid was astonishing asafter prayers people used to form Halaqahs of knowledge which reminded us of Masjids of theearlier generation which were for prayers and acts of worship and they were neither buildings ofpride nor elaborately decorated.

After breakfast the talks started and on Saturday around Duha prayers (on the 15th of Safar 1399)there was a special talk in Arabic by Shaykh Umar Palunpuri (RA) and it was a beneficial andcomprehensive talk. He elaborated and answered many of the doubts on Tableeghi Jamaat and itsmethodology of Dawah and the purpose of going out in the path of Allah (SWT). The summary is tochange the environment of those giving the Dawah and those to whom Dawah is being given andnot all of those leaving (in the path of Allah (SWT)) are Da'ees rather it is intended for them to reformtheir lives, and inculcate the love of Islam in their heart and to encourage them towards (good) andto inform them of the matters of Deen which they don't are (yet) unaware of. Experience tells us thatthese things cannot be achieved until a person leaves behind their normal business andengagements of (life of this world) temporarily and joins a righteous and religious environment.

Afterwards, the Arabs were requested to attend the normal talk at the gathering which was to occurafter Dhohar Salah. We were requested to deliver this public talk and we accepted with pleasureand thus after Dhohar prayer I gave this talk which was simultaneously translated in various (local)languages while the original speech was in Arabic and afterwards it was announced that on Sundaythe 16th of Safar 1399 after Dhohar respected Abdul-Kareem Murad (HA) will be giving a talk. Wewere present in all the talks which were translated from Urdu to Arabic (for us). Shaykh Abdul-Kareem Murad (HA) delivered his talk on time and his talk was about "Tauheedul-Ibadah" and heprohibited people from exaggerating the love for the pious and also warned them about makingstructures on graves.

The Ijtema site was roughly 7 kilometres from the capital (Dhaka) and it was chosen so that peoplemay find some peace (& solace) and also for them to remain at one place (Masjid) and for people

like us who arrived (late) wouldn't have a chance to reach Dhaka before or after the Ijtema. Mondaywas the day of giving (leaving) guidance to Jamaats and to bid farewell to the Jamaats and it was aday of mixed emotions (of happiness and sadness). Their happiness and sadness on that day wasthe proof that their hearts were filled with the love of each other for the sake of Allah (SWT) and thatthe love of Allah (SWT) had penetrated their hearts. How the people of Dawah are able to let go (ofall other engagements) to connect the hearts of bondsmen to Allah (SWT), [the Alone] and they haveno reliance except for Him (SWT) and none worthy of attention expect Him (SWT)!

This is the summary of their talks and and their speeches and their actions and their Zuh'd(asceticism) which is gained after witnessing them and listening to them, on the contrary to peoplewho discuss (their affairs) without recognising them or become ignorant to the reality of (Tableeghi)Jamaat due to some evil (purpose or) reason.

A noteworthy trait of this Jamaat is that this Jamaat concerns itself with matters which otherJamaats don't find appealing and it is that they take people with them (for reformation) and remainpatient (on their excesses) and make their Tarbiyah (nurture them) in an excellent manner and haveconcern for their guidance. Their worry and concern is similar to a merciful mother towards herbeloved son. Allah (SWT) has guided many kinds of people through them and foremost amongstthem are those youth whom we have sent to America & Europe for education and then left them totheir (affairs) and not worried about their welfare and Tarbiyah. Allah (SWT) has deputed thisJamaat for many such individuals when these youngsters had left this (Deen of Islam) after beingimpressed by the irreligious society around them and I have many such eye witness accounts andstories and it will be too long to write them all so I will suffice with recounting only one incident.

A resident of Riyadh brought a group (Jamaat) of American youth to the Dhaka Ijtema. Allah (SWT)had enable him to climb out of the abyss (of misguidance) through the work of Jamaat. This youthdesired to perform Umrah as he longed for the Umrah to become a means of his (forgiveness ofsins) and his distance from his actions (of Jahilliyah). I congratulated him and told him about thevirtues of repentance to which he embarrassingly replied "O Br Muhammad! I intend to performUmrah but don't know how to actually perform it and I don't know what I should do when I reachMakkah and before going to America whatever I had learned in primary (education), I have forgottenand lost it." I told him to go to one side so we may be away from the (rush of people) and that I maydescribe the actions of Umrah to him in detail. He requested of me to record it on a cassette towhich I replied that if you have a cassette recorder and a cassette then there is nothing preventingus from this matter. So he brought me a cassette and I recorded the actions of Umrah and then alsohe also asked for a cassette of actions of Hajj and I also summarised those actions for him. I alsoencouraged him to visit Masjidun-Nabawi and to also visit Jamia Islamiyya so that he may obtainbeneficial books and magazines from there.

The purpose of recounting this incident and other (incidents) which I have presented in yourpresence and there are many other successes of this Jamaat and the mention of these will be ratherlong and these success are real (and palpable so that can be touched by hand) and some of otherJamaats which are engaged in Dawah (towards Allah (SWT)) are not able to achieve these and noone (friend or foe, alike) can deny this. The secret is that this Jamaat has made Dawah-Illallah andthe work of reformation of morals (of people) its primary objective (of life) and it is not so that theyhave taken the work of dawah in their left hand and the (fame and enjoyments due to Dawah) in theirright; rather this Jamaat has grasped the work of dawah (itself) with both hands and these peopleare far from the greed of fame and popularity and to them praise and condemnation is equal untilthe life of this world has no value in their eyes.

And I suffice at this hint and since the issue is clear so the effects of the Dawah of this nation is alsoclear as I previously elucidated so the ones to make decisions can do so as the work, its effectsand its successes are in front of them to decide.

We spent 3 days in the environment of this Ijtema and on the fourth day on Monday after Dhoharprayers we returned to Karachi and on the 23rd of Safar 1399 on Sunday we returned to Jeddah viaour flights and we hope that this journey will be a blessed one, Insha'Allah.

Observations:

1 The name "Tableeghi Jamaat" is not an organised adaptation, rather it is an identity and theydidn't propose but people witnessed their work (of Dawah and Tadhkeer) and gave them (thisname).

2 Dawah, discipline and repeated Ijtemaas have inculcated in them skills of organisation andstructure which enables to perform their duties in an excellent manner without getting tired.

3 They have the ability to organise and conduct large-scale Ijtemaas in a structure and organisedmanner and if someone else was to organise such a large scale Ijtema they would need to exertthemselves (heavily), require large sums of money while they (Tableeghi Jamaat) are able to do sowith the minimum of expenditure except for when they host (long distance foreign) guests. Allparticipants of Jamaat consider themselves responsible for the work of the Ijtema.

Every person performs his assigned task and presents his belongings (according to his capacity)and performs his duty himself and it is the intention of every individual that he may become aKhaadim (i.e. serve others) and not a ruler and strives to benefit his brothers as to them it is anexalted action, indeed.

Recommendations:

There are clear and apparent qualities and successes associated with this Jamaat (and its work)which we have highlighted and are accepted by friends and foe, alike. Subsequently, we deem itappropriate to present the following recommendations:

1 For benefit and advantage, practical and sincere cooperation with the Jamaat should be done.

2 We recommend that this movement (of Tableegh) should also be present amongst our studentsso that they may benefit from it and for them to benefit Jamaat. Our students are in need of thisblessed Dawah compared to many other people.

3 Jamia Islamiyya (Madina) should frequently (and in great numbers) attend these Ijtemaas andteachers and students alike should be represented here.

We beseech Allah (SWT)to make our actions pure and exclusive for His Benevolent Diety (SWT)and to keep show and fame away from us for surely He (SWT) is the most exalted and the onetowards whom beseechment is directed.

Report on Annual Tableeghi Ijtema by Shaykh Salih Ibn Ali Al-Shawaymaan (HA).In the name of Allah (SWT), the most beneficent the most Merciful,

To my respected father respected Shaykh Abdul-Aziz Ibn Abdullah Ibn baz (RA) تارادإل ماعلا سیئرلا هاطخ ددسو هقفوو ءوس لك نم هللا هظفح ( داشرإلاو ةوعدلاو ءاتفإلاو ةیملعلا ثوحبلا (Ameen)

Asslamo Allaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh,

And thereafter, today dated 1st of Raibul-Awwal 1407 (4th of November 1986) my holidays startedand on the 3rd of Rabiul-Awwal I travelled to Pakistan along with Ulamah and students of differentgroups to Pakistan. These Ulamah and students belonged to "Al-Jamia Al-Isamiyyaa", "Jamiatul-Imam Muhammad Ibn Saud Al-Islamiyyah", "Jamia Al-Malik As-Saud" and others and we witnessedsome astonishing events there. When we landed at Lahore airport a Jamaah (group) of piousyoungsters welcomed us whose faces and beards were illuminated with the Noor (light) of Ilm(knowledge) and Eemaan. We went to the Airport Mosque and after praying the Sunnah gatheredtogether and sat down in a Halaqah. We were from various localities and then from amongst thoseyouth one of them stood up and spoke in an amazing manner which penetrated the hearts. Then thebuses came and transported us to Raiwind Ijtema site and the Ijtema was on such a beautiful sitethat it filled the heart with "Al-Khushu" and the eyes became wet with tears of fear (of Allah (SWT))and happiness.

This Ijtema resembled the gathering of Jannah in the sense that there was no shouting or yelling, noLaghw (irrelevant and useless matters), no lies and no chaos but the surroundings were nice, clean,organised and free from foul smell and filth. It was organised and structured in a disciplined andgraceful manner with no traffic (jams), no police and no security guards although there were inexcess of a million souls there but life was continuing along its natural course and this natural course(of life) was encircled with Halaqahs of Dhikrullah, speeches, teaching and learning day and night. Iswear by Allah (SWT) that it was an Ijtema through which dead hearts are revived and Eemaanstrengthens and gets illuminated. So how wonderful and majestic (of a scene) it was! A scene whichplaced the pictures of the lives of the Sahaba (RA), Taba'een (RA) and Taba-Taba'een (RA) in frontof our eyes. There were talks of effort of Deen, Ilm & Dhikrullah, (inculcating) good habits and (tomake) movements for Islam and faces radiant with knowledge and Eemaan. You would not haveheard anything but Tauheed of Allah (SWT), Dhik'r, Tasbeeh, Tamheed ,Takbeer and recitation ofthe Qur'aan. Saying Asslamo Allaikum wa Rahmatullahi and Jazakullah Khairun was the norm there.Everything there was pleasing to the heart and Sunnahs of Rasul-ullah (Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam)were being revived and freshened every moment. In short, there were practical teachings ofadopting the life based upon the book of Allah (SWT) and Sunnah of Rasul-ullah (Sallaho AlaiheWassallam) and how fortunate and wonderful such a life is! A desire arose in my heart many timesthat such an Ijtema should have taken place in Saudi Arabia as the era of Malik Abdul-Aziz (RA) hasgiven rise to an illuminated age and every moment is competing to surpass the last one (in virtueand goodness).

There were people from various countries of the world in the Ijtema but as if they were of the sameface, same intention and of the same the purpose like they were children of the same man as ifAllah (SWT) had created a single heart and then distributed it amongst them (all) and it served nopurpose but to fulfil all the commandments of Deen and to reform the Muslim youth and to bring Non-Muslims to the path of Allah (SWT). Those (unknown people) who spread rumours about them dareto criticise these pious souls when Shaykh Abdul-Majeed Zindaani (HA) said, "These are heavenlybeings who walk on this earth!" So who are those who dare to criticise them and accuse them ofmatters which are not present in them? In my opinion, Tableeghi Jamaat has the same objective asSaudi Aabia which is to reform all of humanity and to bring them to the straight path and to spreadpeace and harmony in the world. So which of these (matters) is objectionable?

After Esha (Salah) when the Bayans are all completed and when you gaze your eyes to the right andto the left you will find nothing but gatherings of knowledge and you will find beneficial informationfrom wherever you may find yourself and you will benefit no matter which Halaqah you may sit in.When people are fast asleep you will witness them standing (in Salah) like Pillars and in the last partof the night you will hear their crying in the presence of their Lord (SWT) like buzzing of a honey beeand you will witness that they are beseeching their Lord (SWT) with utmost humility for the sins of thewhole Ummah to be forgiven and for the whole Ummah to be delivered from the fire of Jahannumand for the entire Ummah to be given Taufeeq (of Hidayah) and to live their lives according to theSunnah of Mustafa (Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam).

So this Ijtema deserves that every Scholar and every student and every Muslim who fears Allah(SWT) and has hope in the day of judgement should attend it. May Allah (SWT) give the best ofreward to those who worked in it and to give steadfastness and to assist them and to benefit theMuslims from them, for verily he is the Listener, the Acceptor.

Those who were appointed to serve were Hafidh of the Qur'aan. The one grinding the flourcommenced his task with "Bismillah" and then continued with "Subhanullah, Alhumdolillah, Allahu-Akbar", the one kneading the dough commenced his task with "Bismillah" and then continued with"Subhanullah, Alhumdolillah, Allahu-Akbar" and the one making bread commenced his task with"Bismillah" and then continued with Tasbeeh, Tamheed and Takbeer. We heard them and wewitnessed their Dhikr and yet they didn't know that we were watching them. So Purified and Exaltedbe Him (SWT) who opened their eyes and granted them Taufeeq for their Dhikr and showed themthe straight path and surely this is desired by every Muslim. O honoured Shaykh! The reality is thatwhoever will sit in their company will become a Daee Illallah (inviter towards Allah (SWT)) due totheir experience and companionship.

I wish! That while I was a student at the Jamia I would have recognised this Jam'aah (Tableegh) andengaged in this work so today I would have been an Allamah of the knowledge of his work. I swearby Allah (SWT), I consider this Deen! And soon I will be questioned regarding it, that day when nowealth and no sons will help anyone.

I wish that all those who work (under you) would attend this Ijtema and for them to proceed in thepath of Allah (SWT) along with them so that they may learn Ikhlaas (sincerity) and the work of Dawahwith the Akhlaaq (mannerism) of the the Sahaba (RA), Taba'een (RA) and Taba-Taba'een (RA).

In the end I beseech Allah (SWT) to give us the correct understanding of the truth and to follow it, togive us the fervour of doing righteous deeds and to grant us the Tawfeeq of Ikhlas (sincerity) andaction, to protect us from the evil of our Nafs (self) and the evil of our desires and Shaytaan and togrant honour to His Deen, to elevate His Kalima and to strengthen our kingdom with Islam and tostrengthen Islam with it and verily He (SWT) is the owner of it and has control (over it).
