Introduction:

Religion has a great impact on the daily life of everybody. In our society the religion

have great influence so even if you are not a believer yourself the fact remains that most of the

way that society works is based on religious teachings. The result is that almost every aspect of

your daily life has been influenced by religion.

In every religion have a group of followers, who devote their self to spread their religion

throughout the world. For the spreading religion they devoted their life, time and wealth.

In Islam, there are many groups whose devote a part of their life to spread Islam all

over the world. The main objective of the Islamic preachers; is to bring the peoples under the

shed of Islam. Every Islamic group has their own responsibility, in which one of the most

important and rapidly increase group is the “Tableegh e Jamaat”. The tableeghe members give a

part of their life, on the name of Allah, and go out from their home for spiritual change

(improvement) and inform non-Muslims about the Islam.

The most important and thinkable point of tableegh e jamaat is that, when someone join

this movement revolution come in his life, in short time the person completely changed; socially

and religiously.

What is Tableegh? Dawat e tableegh is a religious movement based on the principle of the

"Work of the Prophets" inviting to God in the manner of Muhammed.

Quraan says about tableegh, “Let there arise out of you a band of people inviting to all that is

good, enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong. They are the ones to attain felicity.’

(Quran 3:104) i.e surah e Al imran verses 104

“Bring the people to the right and forbidding them from the wrong path. What is right and

wrong, it is explain in QURAAN and hadith. The bad people are those; who don’t bring the

people to right path”

7

Dawat e tableegh is the name of struggle to bring the people toward Islam. Dawat o Tableegh is

the back bone of the Muslim Ummah. This is the responsibility of every Musalman to spread the

Islam in every part of the world. When a Muslim donate his wealth and time for self-spiritual

consoling, spiritual consoling of other Muslim and inform other non-Muslim’s about the reality

of Islam; have a sprite why the rules of Allah are broken and me not, that person is the great

person in that time.

(Ahmad, Tableegh bel Yaqeen kar e Nabuwat ha., 2006)

Tableegh Jamaat came forth as an off shoot of the Deobandi movement. Its inception is believed

to be a response to the deteriorating values and negligence of fundamental aspects of Islam,

which were considered a threat to Muslims. It gradually expanded from local to national to an

international

In this research the researcher tried to find out the socio religious life of tableegh e jamaat

followers, before and after, joining tableegh e jamaat and special emphasis kept on shopkeepers.

According to the survey form, most of the tableeghe are knows more about the secular ethical

life and religious ethical life before join tableegh e jamaat. But they did not try to follow them.

When they became the members of tableeghe movement they spiritually awarded about the

social and religious life, which was the last prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h) teaches us.

Some followers also have, who did not try to follow the Islamic principle of social and religious

life after spending four month in tableegh e jamaat, the first cause is that, they are spend four

month in tableegh, but they were sanded by their elders forcedly, his elder wanted; Asculum

their lives according to Islamic principle; but force did not give any good results. Second are

those tableegh e who spended four month, but after four month they did not keep joint their self

with tableegh, they also did not show good results, and a very little change came in their life.

They did not change their social company and daily routine after spending four month in

tableegh e jamaat. And the social companies have a great impact on the personality of a person.

8

The followers of tableeghe jamaat had changed their social and religious life after joining

tableegh e jammat. Their social lives have been improved and bring religious change in their life.

Because the religion has, a great impact on the daily routine on the tableeghi.

The tableeghe movement has great impact on its follower, during the survey; I meted different

type of people who engaged in antisocial activities like corruption, selling of illegal items in their

shops, involvement in serious type of crime which are socially and religiously forbidden. When

they joined tableegh, they leaved all bad activities.

A person who I meted, he told me that, he used cruel behavior with their family members,

involvement in valueless activities, most of daily time where spended with friends in gossiping.

But when i joined tableegh e jamaat, and spend four month in tableegh, my life completely

changed and I leaved all bad activities.

In tableegh during the four month they learned about the Islamic principle of social life and

religious life, do practice and after coming return to their home, they brought those Islamic

principle which they learned in four month in practical life.

1.1 Significance of the study

This study was conducted to find out the socio religious impact of tableegh e jamaat on its

followers, and special emphasize was kept on shopkeepers, who it least spend four month in

tableegh e jamaat.

The study was designed to find socio religious life of a person before and after joining tableeghe

jamaat, to find what change came in their life, with spending four month in tableegh e jamaat.

Did any change come in their socio religious life? If yes, so what type of change? Social or

spiritual? Why did some tableegh e member change their social and religious life after spending

four month in tableeghe and why some of them are not changed their life style after four month

spending in the tableeghe jamaat?.In this research the reader find the answer of the entire above

question.

I am convinced that effort of Tablighi Jamaat in any country is a blessing for both its Public and

government. As this Jamaat do effort for the reformation of individuals to make them good

9

Muslim? As a person who will become a faithful to his creator Almighty Allah and Islam says to

think for others same good as you are thinking for yourself. So He will be a well-wisher of his

Country and countrymen. As whole humanity is slave of Allah so he will become a well-wisher

of whole mankind. By this way individual will become a responsible citizen. He will not do

anything that harms his country or countrymen. He will not tell lies, ill-behaved, theft, robbery,

assault on life respect or property.

All these qualities are beneficial for public and government of the country.

The government whether Muslim countries or Non-Muslim countries are much anxious for law

and order problems from antisocial elements. They complain of theft, robbery, smuggling,

addiction. They remain busy in making and implementing laws without full proof success.

The effort of Tablighi Jamaat concentrates on developing qualities and morals in Individuals so

they will keep themselves away from Antisocial habbits. This will develop hatred from

wrongdoings. They stress on high morals that will help both public and Government.

Most of the people changed when they joined tableegh jamaat; socially and spiritually. For

joining tableegh jamaat there is no need of any qualification and degree. People related to any

field are exist in tableegh movement like shop keeper, lawyer, teacher, businessman, engineer,

singer, criminal, doctor, students etc. They all changed their social and religious life when they

join tableegh movement. The character of a person which could not be changed, it was changed

with tableegh.

During the survey most people to whom i meted, they told me about the pre tableegh movement

life, which was felled of criminality, jealousy, corruptive, unsocial, full of tension, and when

they joined tableegh movement, revolution came in their life, and now they felled so relaxed and

satisfied.

The tableeghe movement have a great impact on society, it has been changed the life of different

people, who joined it. In this way numbers of bad people leaved their bad activities and became a

normal and social person of the community.

It has also a great role in poverty elevation, because many people during the survey, which, i

meted during the survey, they heaved no jobs, business and no proper’s resources for proper

10

income. But when they joined tableeghe jamaat and spend four month they started a small

business, shops are opened for proper income, and most of them start small business and sell

item in their shops according to the Islamic principle.

1.2 Objective of the study

1. To know about the socio-religious life of an individual before and after joining tableegh e

jamaat.

2. To know about the shop keeping method before and after joining tableegh e jamaat.

3. To know about the rationale for joining tableegh e jamaat.

1.3 Methodology

Methodology is the philosophy of methods. It encompasses, first, an epistemology– the ‘rules of

truth’ for warranting the validity of conclusions – and secondly, an ontology – establishing the

‘Objects’ about which questions may validly be asked and conclusions may be drawn.

(Jupp, 2008)

1.4 Tools of data collection

1.4.1 Interview schedule

A method of data collection, information or opinion gathering that specifically involves asking a

series of questions. Typically, an interview represents a meeting or dialogue between people

where personal and social interaction occur. However, developments in computer and

information technology have resulted in other formats.

(Jupp, 2008)

11

In this research interview schedule was designed to collect the data from respondents. The data

was collected through interview schedule because most of the people were illiterate.

1.4.2 Sampling procedure

Techniques used to select groups from a wider population. This is done because it is not

usually possible to include whole populations in research, for example as a result of time or

financial constraints. Whom we study and how we choose to study them is linked to the

theoretical context of the research and the hypotheses or aims. Sampling theory is therefore

based on the assumption that inferences can be made, or conclusions drawn about the population

from which the sample is taken. Sampling is an important element in research planning and

design.

(Jupp, 2008)

In this research snow ball sampling method were used to collect the data.

1.4.2.1 Snow ball sampling

A form of non-probability sampling in which the researcher begins by identifying an individual

perceived to be an appropriate respondent. This respondent is then asked to identify another

potential respondent. The process is repeated until the researcher has collected sufficient data.

Sometimes called ‘chain letter’ sampling.

Victor Jupp(2006:281)

The current study was designed in way to delimit it only to the study of shop keepers. Who

spent at least four month with tableegh-e-jamaat. Therefore, the best sampling procedure was

snow ball sampling that initially 5 respondents were identified and through them the rest of the

respondents were approached and this completed a sample of 50 respondents.

12

In social sciences for a student research project the minimum sample size is 30 as reflected by

Beverly R.Dixon, GaryD. Bouma, and G.B.J Atkinson (1987:149). However, the researcher

studied a sample of 50 respondents more diversity of opinion.

LATRATUR REVIEW

Religion plays an important role in our lives from the day we are born till our death!

Religion is not just about accepting a certain set of beliefs, but it is about how we live our lives.

World is becoming more diverse and the role of religion in public life has grown. Professionals

today need a broad understanding of religion to serve effectively the people.

The tableegh e movement is the religious movement, and the aims of Tableegh e jamaat; to

bring the people under the shed of Islam, and the every member of tableegh e jamaat devote

some part of their life for the spreading of Islam.

The tableeghe changed their daily life, and started a new life according to the principle of Islam.

They did those activities which allowed in Islam. And always kept distance from the non-

Islamic activities.

Tablighi Jamaat has been widely discussed for some time now in the religious circles of the

Muslim acumen. It has been of particular interest to scholars in South Asia. Western scholars

have written about it too. But none has succeeded in getting into the depth of a religious group

that is fast gaining popularity among mostly poor Muslims of the subcontinent. The

understanding of such a movement which has had a global effect, changing the ideology of

millions of people and made them better understanding Muslims, was important. The realizing of

the different ways of conveying the message of Islam that we can use is very important and since

the “Tablighi Jamaat” is one of the most successful movements in modern times, a short

introduction is presented here which are taken from different books.

2.1 Origin of Tableegh e Jamaat

Sikand identifies Tabligh e Jamaat as part of the Sufi Reformist Project launched by Darul

Uloom Deoband, which was established in 1867 in Saharanpur, India. Tablighi Jamaat is part of

the third element of the Deoband Project, Tassawuf-o-Ehsan (spiritualism and beneficience). The

other three elements are: Tawheed or Oneness of God and the Sunnah; following the Hanafi

school of thought; and finally, jihad. There is a general misconception that the Deobandi school

14

of thought is void of mysticism. On the contrary, Deobandis not only agree on mysticism but

most of the scholars associated with sufi Naqshbandi school of thought are Deobandis. It is

because of the deep roots of mysticism among the people that some of the Deobandi jihadi

organizations show their commitment towards mysticism. For instance, the outlawed Jaish-e-

Mohammad’s chief, Masood Azhar, has emphasized on mysticism in his writings and has his

own disciples. Most of the Deobandi scholars identify mysticism as the essence of Shariah but

oppose the “un-Islamic” rituals performed at the shrines. There is a strong relationship between

first and third elements of Deobandi school of thought. The relationship indicates that, in the

context of the Muslim community in the sub-continent, the Oneness of God can take hold only if

the relationship between the shrine and the individual remains within the Islamic boundaries.

Mufti Abul Ata comments, that “un-Islamic” and Shariah by force had made meditation and

daily worships the most important component of mysticism. Beyond that, some of the ignorant

people readily accepted that mysticism was not bound to follow Shariah, he says. In his view,

Deobandi scholars served a serious blow to the unwanted business of infidelity and heresy

practiced in the name of sufi mysticism.

Origins of the Tablighi Jamaat are found in the same idea. When Maulana Muhammad Ilyas laid

the foundations of this movement in Mewat in 1927, Hindu movements of Shudhi and Sanghtan

were on their peak. The objective of Hindu movements was to bring the neo-Muslims back to the

fold of their ancestral religion. Sikand (2002) identifies it as the key-factor in launching the

movement of Tablighi Jamaat. Darul Uloom Deoband had established a department of

“Safeguarding and Proselytizing Islam (shoba-e-tableegh-o-hifazat-i-Islam).” Syed Muhammad

Mian, a writer of Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam writes that as a result of this initiative, more than 11,000

Hindus re-converted to Islam. Correcting the religious actions of the common Muslim remained

the focal point of the movement started by Maulana Muhammad Ilyas. Maulana Muhammad

Ilyas wished people got back to the religion. But it was not possible through seminaries and

convents alone, he thought. Only those who were already close to religion, he argued, would

come to such places. Thus, he thought it was necessary to go from door to door and sincerely ask

them learn the religion. Since, his movement’s target audience was the common Muslims, he

organized and structured it accordingly. He based his approach on the convent system thinking it

might be helpful in attracting the people towards the Jamaat. He formulated six principles for

daily worship on the same lines as a mentor did for his disciples and keeps them connected to the

15

system of daily worship or as it is thought to be necessary for a disciple to demonstrate his

association with the mentor or the convent by attending the weekly, monthly and yearly

gatherings. In sufi, mystical, schools of thought, there is an order but sometimes it is not. But, in

Tablighi Jamaat, meetings were pretty disciplined. Taking cue from the convent system, the

Maulana did not impose strict conditions and rules on participants to make it simple. The level of

the syllabus for preaching was kept according to a common man’s understanding level.

The aim was to make the common people understand the principles through parables from the

lives of the Prophet’s companions and sufi mystics. That is how the Tablighi Jamaat spread. It is

interesting to note that Maulana Mohammed Ilyas established educational institutions in Mewat

on the lines of the convents, where common people would come for a limited time. They were

provided with basic knowledge about Islam and worshipping. However, as the Jamaat spread, the

approach and methods of preaching were altered.

When setting up educational institutions at a large scale to attract Muslims towards religion

became difficult, mosques were brought into use as schools and they were affiliated to an

educational institution.

However, the preaching method remained that of the sufi mystics. Sermons based on scholarly

arguments were avoided. The basic principle, named “Taleem” (literal meaning: “on gaining

knowledge”) was: those who have higher knowledge of Islam should share it with others and

those who have little should learn from others.8 The method was derived from the one practiced

by As’haab-e-Suffa (Companions of Prophet Muhammad dedicated to teaching Islam in the

Prophet’s mosque in Medina).

Tolerance is a hallmark of Tablighi Jamaat’s system of “Taleem” and special attention is paid to

promoting it among students at all times. Jesting during classes or showing a reaction to derisory

remarks is strictly forbidden.

Tablighi Jamaat has used mosques belonging to Sunni sub-sects for “Taleem” and other

activities. Never has a Shia mosque been used. Tablighi Jamaat has never reacted whenever they

were not allowed to use a mosque’s premise because of their Deobandi identity. Even on such

occasions, Tablighi teachers are advised to behave politely. At times, they have faced such

problems even in Deobandi mosques.

16

Tablighi Jamaat does not believe in charismatic leaders. They are to be respected and venerated

which again is part of the sufi mystic tradition. The whole emphasis is on bringing out a man

good character.

That is why members of the Tablighi Jamaat do not approach non-Muslims themselves. The idea

is that non-Muslims should feel an urge to emulate their good character and they should

approach them. This is the “Method of Proselytizing non-Muslims.” When Tablighi Jamaat

members visit non-Muslim countries on proselytizing missions they do not get in touch with

non-Muslims but attract them with examples of good character towards Islam. When a non-

Muslim shows interest in knowing more, he is informed of the golden principles of Islam and

never is he asked to change his religion.

(Rana, april 2009)

2.2 The program based on six points:

1. Believing in the oneness of Allah

2. To offer the five prayers daily

3. Gaining knowledge and the remembrance of Allah

4. To respect every Muslim

5. Sincerity of intention

6. To spare time for this work

2.3 Daily Routine

The typical daily routine at the Masjid begins with Fajr prayers at dawn followed by a talk that

gets over at 8.00am . At this talk the listeners are told of the necessity of purifying their own

following of Islam from all non-Islamic practices, and also of the necessity of visiting Muslim

communities in order to spread true Islam among them through an example that emulates the

way of Prophet Muhammad and his companions . From 8.00 to 11.00am the visitors are

slowly divided into groups of roughly ten people each, and asked to choose a leader from among

themselves, preferably an elderly person. Then they are given a destination; the distance

depending on how much money the individual members of the group have been able to bring

17

along for this purpose. At 11.00am there is another talk lasting until Zuhr (after

noon) prayers that tells them what propogation work they should focus on when they reach their

determined destinations. After Zuhr prayers there is lunch and the groups leave. Between 3.00 to

5.00pm (punctuated by Asr prayers) there is a talk on certain aspects of Islam for newcomers,

those who started arriving after 10.00am . After the Maghrib prayers there is some recitation

from the Qur’an, and from the life of the Prophet and his companions with explanations

and exhortations. After supper and Aisha prayers there are meetings in language based groups,

where individuals recall the events of the day, their attitudes at those times, and subject

themselves to correction. About an hour after Aisha prayers everyone goes to sleep.

(haq, 1987)

2.4 Recommended Schedule

3 days a month

2 ‘gash’ (visiting the Muslims in the locality twice a week)

40 days a year

4 months in a lifetime.

2.5 Tableeghe Usool

Maulana Ilyas Rahmatullah Alaihi made some Usools for doing work in Systematic way.

Some of them were being described here. To do effort on our own expenses. Whosoever will

go in the path of Allah will bear his expenses himself. There will not be any money

collection for this purpose. If you are not having money or time keeps on doing effort at your

local Mosque and the local Dawah work over there. They should keep themselves away from

interfering any Political Issue/Politics. The superficial issues of religion having difference of

Opinion, Fiqh and Jurisprudence issues will not be touched. All are free to follow their Fiqh

(Jurisprudence) or whatever is common in his country. He should be concentrate and engage

his effort on Imaan and Yaqeen (The Islamic faith), Sincerity of intention, Salat, Seeking

knowledge and Remembrance of Allah dhikr (to attain quality of Ihsan), to fulfill Obligation

18

and rights of all with special Ikram for Muslims. He should remain engaged in Dawat ilallah

(Calling people towards Allah).

(Yosuf, 1984)

2.6 Tableegh e Movement and its Impact on personality

There are some basic essences of the movement for the effort of deen like. This movement is one

of the best means to attain Tazkiyya, Ihsan, Manners, and correction of self-ego, Ikram for

Momin, kindness and mercy on all creation of Allah.

Respect for elder love for younger. There is a practice of all this in this work. The first

requirement is to see your own fault and to search goodness in others.

If you see something bad in others you should not expose it.

If you see something good it should be appreciated and encouraged and should get benefitted. To

have intention to get benefit from other Muslims.

(Rahmatullahi, 24 March 2004)

2.7 The Impact of Tableegh e Jamaat on society

The religion has an indispensable place as a universal phenomenon in the lives of individuals and

communities throughout all periods of history; it surrounds the person and the community with

both internal and symbolic aspects. What makes a person, an ideology, a movement or a religion

successful is to provide integration of their own values, life philosophies, points of view and

cultures with religion, and to use these value structures that everyone already knows in changing

the lives of other people. From this perspective, it can be said that every religion can permeate all

structures of society via an education process, transform these structures and create a new

lifestyle that is not independent from the old roots of society. (Lawson, 1998)

19

The tableegh e jamaat have a very important role in society. Most of people change their social

and religious life after joining tableegh e jamaat, leave illegal business, drugs business, drugs

uses, avoided their self from illegal activities.

Most of respondents during my field work, they told me that, we involve in different time of

crimes, use drugs, use cruel behavior with other family members, our income method was totally

against the Islamic principle but when we join tableegh e jamaat and spend four month in

tableegh. Our life completely changed, we leaved the old type of life and start new life according

the Islamic principle.

In society the tableegh e jamaat have a great role. Maximum person where changed when they

join tableegh e jamaat. They hold religion strongly, and do according to the Islamic principle.

They did not involve in such type of activities which is socially and religiously forbidden. And

gave some time daily to masjid and participate in tableegh e daily activities.

Religion provides a distinct setting for identity exploration and commitment through offering

Ideological, social, and spiritual contexts. It is then suggested that the religious context promotes

a sense of identity that transcends the self and promotes a concern for the social good and that

religious institutions provide unique settings for adolescent identity formation. In addition to the

potential developmental benefits of religion, negative consequences on identity development are

considered.

(Applied Developmental Science, 2003)

Another dreaded thought got hold that we can’t do Service and learning of deen along

With our daily business and jobs. But we started thinking that (Monetary Service of deen

is possible but) we are not eligible for Service of deen by (collective effort with life and

time) unless we leave our worldly engagement of business and job. Obviously only few Muslims

could do the sacrificial of worldly engagement and consequently the learning and services of

deen by general Muslims became rare. By the passage of time under influence of Materialism

this trend even further increased. The people who were free for service of deen became rarest of

the rare. Those who could not spare themselves finally became hopeless. Slowly this class

became fulfilled with their worldly engagement. Although Sahaba were having business farming

etc. but they also learned deen and did service of deen collectively without any exception.

Among Shaba even those who were called as Qurra (Aalim/seeker of Knowledge) they were also

doing either manual labor or small business in the day and used to study at night. The importance

20

of seeking of knowledge was of critical value. Those who were not able to come daily made an

association with another sahabi Started coming in the Prophet gathering on alternate days and

used to listen and understand the lesson of absent days from his partner/ associate Sahaba and it

was vice versa. (BUKHARI HADITH about Hazrat Umar and his Neighbour tells the

picture).They was restlessness about knowledge and practice of deen.

(KHAROOJ WITH TABLIGHI JAMAAT, 2012)

During the survey a tableeghe told me that, during the four month in tableegh, we practiced to

press the desire and only fulfill basic needs of daily life. Because there have a very few needs of

a person in daily life, but desire are very..! Every person has desired in his mind, which cannot

be fulfilled in this life.

One of the most visible effects of the tableegh e jamaat is its ability to promote a routinized

Islam in a conservative guise. By reutinization I mean the regulated discipline of religious ritual,

which becomes the main preoccupation of a group. In the case of the tableegh e jmaat it is more

than just being ritualistic: i mean when the preoccupation with the preservation of tradition rather

then innovation becomes the major thrust of the social expression of religion. Every act, practice

or idea is referred to an text, the prophetic model, as visualized within the very specific confines

of tableeghe Islam. (moosa, 1963-1993)

One of the direct results of this movement has been the introduction of rigid segregation between

the sexes in those social spheres, institution and communities where the influence of Tableegh is

dominant. A completely veiled purdah woman is the definition of an ideal woman in the tableegh

ethos. However, there is also a tolerance for women wearing hijab, where the entire body, except

the face, is covered.
