Hadhrat Shaykh Zakariyya (RA) is one of the greatest Muhaddith and scholars of our times. He has authored several books, amongst which are the commentaries of Sahih Bukhari, Muatta Imaam Maaliki, etc.
He has also compiled the book, Fadhaail-e-Aamaal which is an outstanding work as well as authentic. Thousands of people throughout the world have derived great benefit from this book. The claims of those entics are baseless.
The great work of ‘Tabligh’ is in no way the creation of British colonial powers. Rather, it was the noble work of the Ambiyaa (Alayhimus salaam), Sahaaba (Radhiallaahu Anhum) and passed on in this way to us. Allah Ta’ala uses different people for this noble work of Da’wat and Tabligh.
Allah Ta’ ala inspired Hadhrat Moulana Ilyaas Saheb (RA) who revived this noble work in this time and age. This work, is a means of uniting the Ummah, not disuniting the Ummah as alleged.
These were illustrious Ulama of the last century who played leading roles in the development and enhancements of Islamic spirit amongst the masses of India. They have also authored a number of books on diverse topics. One of the books authored by Shaykh Zakariyya (RA) is Fadhaail-e-Aamaal. Extensive use of this Kitaab is made by members of the Tabligh Jamaat in their Taleemi programmes. This is why they quote him so frequently in their Bayaans. Moulana Ilyaas Saheb is quoted so frequently simply because he was the founder (or rather the reformer) of the Tablighi movement. These Ulama quote from the Qur’aan and Hadith or they commentate on the Qur’aan and Hadith. Hence, when people quote them, they are actually quoting a commentary of Qur 'aan and Hadith.
Fadhael-e-aamaal is a very good book and nice and easy to read. It may have few weak narrations but these are very few and much much less than other books read in religious circles in India&Pakistan.
Riyadhus-saliheen used by "arab tablighis" is actually a better book than Fazdhael-e-aamaal and i wish the suncontinent Tablighis use it as well.
However, one finds few Tablighis exagerrating about the book.
And lets hope that one day all religious circles will take up one single book and read and teach that book.......that is book of Allah, Quran majeed. Its amazing how few people are taught the book of Allah.
Fadhail e Aamaal is only used for dawah purposes that is why it have some weak (dhaeef not moudho ) narrations.( It is also indicated in arabic text of the book which narration is weak ) However in madaris including tabledhee madaris the book is not taught as part of the course as is it is not for that purpose.
The book (with the will of ALLAH) has changed life of millions of people and have its barakaats ( same as bukhari , where as mishkaat is considerd more authentic then bukhari)
The end do not justify the means. Just cause you're aiming for a greater goal, does not mean you can go about misquoiting the Quran and Hadith, narrating weak hadith etc.
btw. Fadhail e Amaal's sister book, the Fadhail e Sadqaat which is also read in TJ circles, is even worse. Its infested with sufy beliefs and practices.

Example of misquoting the Quran include using verses of Jihad, and using them to recruit people to go out for 3day period, or a 40 day period or 4 months.
Can you tell me what all scholars say narrating weak hadith is acceptable? Please show me a non Tableeghi scholar. Do you know weak and fabricated ahadeeth are collectively termed as unacceptable hadith? and that means that you're not supposed to use them, especially when you have more authentic hadeeth around you.
Lastly, Fazael a Sadqaat itself is my reference, open it up and read and you'd know what iam talking about.
i always fail to see what is so good about fadail-e-aamaal????
its just a collection of weak ahadith....
its a form of extremism....
example, i remember reading one hadith in it which says that the punishment of missing one prayer (and then praying it qazaa) is that a person will spend 80 crore years in the hellfire....
how encouraging is this for a person who has missed a lot pf prayers????
he'd probably say "for all those prayers i missed, and did not even pray qazaa for it, i am bound to stay in hell for eternity, so why bother doing good deeds, let me enjoy atleat whats left in this life"....
