Description

The Tablighi Jamaat is today probably the largest Islamic movement in the world. In the book Tabligh Movement, Maulana Wahiduddin Khan writes that what struck him most about the movement was its strict aloofness from politics, focusing on individual reform. The Jamaat was founded by Maulana Ilyas in 1926 with the aim of guiding Muslims along the right path. It is a mosque-based movement that strives to revive the activities of the mosques on the pattern of the early days of Islam. It aims at creating Islamic awareness among ordinary Muslims in keeping with the Prophetic Sunnah.
