Re: Tablighi Jamaat
So true. One of my mum’s relatives was a TJ member for years. I judged him in a negative way too because of my own preconceived notions about them. But the way he died left me… speechless. He went to the masjid before leaving on another TJ tour, passed away during namaaz in sajdah… just like that. He died literally in Allah ki raah. I don’t know about others but I am pretty envious of his manner of death which Allah taala probably wouldn’t grant to a person like me. This changed the way I look at TJ now. There might be a few bad apples in the jamaat who preach one thing and practise another but there must be some of them doing something right, something noble. It is easy to compare them to Al-Qaeda from behind our computer screens but it takes a lot of imaan to take time out of our busy lives to do what your friend is doing and for that I do respect them, dawaah is afterall an obligation.
