What would you say to those people who say those following Tablighi Jamaat are not correct.
One argument I have heard is that the Tablighi Jamaat people are not well educated in Islam, but go out preaching.
And secondly, what is a Sufi? Is is someone who dances around to drums whilst reciting Dhikr?
Please clarify.
Jazakallahah
Wa alaikumus salaam
Although I myself am probably poorly qualified to address your queries, I feel strongly obliged to make some response.
As I understand it, the work of tablighi jamaat is focused around developing iman and akhlaaq, and following the sunnah. Brothers who are involved in tablighi jamaat work don't 'go out preaching' but simply invite muslims to spend time in the masjid developing their 'connection'* with Allah through salaah, recitation of the Qur'aan and dhikr.
This 'connection'* with Allah is, in essence, what sufism is all about.
For an excellent summary of tasawwuf, read:
www.masud.co.uk/ISLAM/misc/shafiqur.htm
I hope that what I have written is beneficial and accurate, and if not, please do correct me.
Jazakumullah Khairun,
Wassalaam
* I use the word connection, even though it is simply a matter of our hearts and minds acknowledging the reality of what our souls already know - the manifestation of iman, you could call it.
State the verses regarding Tableegh where Allah refers to them as those who call towards good and forbid from evil.
The fundamentals of Tableegh laid out by Shaykh Ilyas Rahimahullah evolve around 6 basics. When this was brought to renowned Ulamaa of the time, they were sceptical until they were told about the 6 basics laid out for the layman. Upon that, their support and blessings were with the work.
The 6 basics also known as the 6 points or 6 numbers are built in ones self through Tableegh. THe purpose is not to preech but to rectify ones self and simply remind others by inviting them.
Daily life is built around the 6 points, no one claims that if the 6 points are met then you have a first class ticket to Jannah but it's simply to put one on the right path towards living their life daily as a Muslim by action and not only by name.
[quote]And secondly, what is a Sufi? Is is someone who dances around to drums whilst reciting Dhikr?
That's a new one. To my understanding, in the simplest forms, a Sufi or Tasawwuf is submitting to Allah out of love to an extent where daily life is felt in his presence and in peace. This is done through many means with Zhikr being one. The link that Shahly posted should shed more light on it.
I hope this helps.
Wassalam
What about those people who say there is some bid'ah in tabligh? When I consider things like going for SPECFICALLY 3 days, 40 days and 4mnth, and also things like the 6 points and 5 amaal to be done daily (taleem, jawla, istishara etc) I consider them as a TARTEEB i.e. a nice way to do things but do NOT consider them a sunnah, nor something EXPLICITYLY detailed in the Shariah, nor I do I consder that a person who does not do dawah with this tarteeb sinful...
...is this the right way to view these tablighy principles??
....beause if not and a person established the practice of 3 days a month etc as a sunnah of the Prophet 
and say things like "when Allah سبحانه وتعالى refers to Jihad in the Quran e.g. in Surah Saff one can include going for Khuruj (whilst the Mufasirren Kiram give other SPECIFIC meanings), then surely these would be considered a Bidat and hence fuel the ignorance of some people in the world against the work??
And Allah سبحانه وتعالى Knows Best!
I think they are barelvi too - may Allah forgive me if I am wrong. I have heard that they characteristically wear green Amamah. (Not that anyone who wears a green turban is a barelwi - Prophet is reported to have worn 3 blessed Amamah colours - white, black and green [Shamaail])
And Allah سبحانه وتعالى Knows Best!
Yes they are Dawat-e-Islami and they are Barelwi There format is different to that of the Tablighi Brothers as they do not go our for any specific number of days
Tabligh is excellent
6 points = Imaaan , Salaah, Ilm and Thikr, Ikraam, Ikhlaas and Striving in the Path of Allah
Amaals of the Masjid are = 2 Gusht , 2.5 hours min daily, Taleem in the Musjid and At home, Shab Kuzari once a week and 3 days everymonth
Our musjids should become like the musjid in the time of the Nabi when the amaals of DAWAT, TALEEM;TALUM, THIKR, IBADAT AND GIDMAT
Who is ready to go out in the path of Allah for any mount of time, let us give our names here
The reasons of many people avoiding and fearing Tableegh should always be remembered here. The prescribed hours and days is what was set to maintain a steady atmosphere of teaching and learning. It does not have to be 2.5 hours minimum, it can be 10 minutes or even 6 hours. Similarly, if one has less duties and rights to fulfil and has the means, he can go 10 days a month whereas if one has more rights to fulfil of family etc, he can go 3 days a month or 3 days every 3 months. 3 days is also not necessary, if one has less time and finds a day spare, he can go for 24 hours.
There are many other actions and timetables which has been made so strict that not only do the youngsters hide from Tableegh, even Ulamaa choose not to go.
The benefits, proven changes, the virtues, the high status of this work is all seen daily. No doubt this work is one of the most accepted methods of reviving Islam. However, requirements and limitations should not be in Tableegh.
InshaAllah when Allah wills, I will have it posted here.

lol. Tashkeel on da net, Masha'Allah!
May Allah accept the effort of the Tablighi jamaat, and make them go from strength to strength. Ameen
The effort of the TJ is that we muslims become walking examples of the Quran in the way of Rasulullah . We've all got the Quran on our shelves; lets bring it in to our lives.
Then by example, like in the times of the Sahaaba, people will turn to Islam by seeing the character of the muslims. The non Muslims should follow us; we shouldn't be following them!!
This cannot be undone and I am sure it will be greatly appreciated.
Please wait...
