[quote]Q. I am in a big confusion that today there are several Jamaths like Tabligh, Jamaat-e-Islami Hind, Ahle Hadith, Deobandi, Bareilvi, etc. Every Jamath people are saying their Jamath is the right one according to Quran and Hadith. I am expecting a reply from you. A. good things: Each of the above groups you mentioned (and there are others) has Khair (good things) in them. Tablighi Jama’at has the spirit of sacrifice and reaching to Muslim masses to call them to mosques. Jamaat-e-Islami has invaluable literature for the understanding and propagation of all aspects of Deen. Ahle Hadiths have contributed in creating awareness against a ‘blind following of Fiq’h schools’ that was resulting in change of priorities in respect of Hadith and Fiq’h. The institution of Deoband has a great contribution in spreading Ulemas and the schools of learning through every nook and corner of the country. Bareilavis have kept the candle of intense love of Prophet (Pbuh) alive. But all of them have their shortcomings too. People belonging to Tablighi Jama’at need to give more importance to understanding of Quran than they have been giving. The members of Jamaat-e-Islami need to give more importance to the fieldwork than the seminars, big meetings and weeks they organize. Ahle Hadiths need to be more positive and soft-spoken in their approach and check the reactionary tendencies among their ranks. Deobandis need to open up to the present day knowledge in the footsteps of the founder of Darul-Uloom, Maulana Qasim Nanautavi who was very progressive. The Bareilavis need to eradicate such evils from their ranks, which Maulana Ahmad Raza was dead against, like bowing to the graves of saints and the gathering of women on graves. drawback: But the biggest drawback of different Islamic groups is their tendency to become a sect. The Prophet (Pbuh) had the unparalleled wisdom, vision, strength and capability under the direct supervision of Almighty and he had a small geographical area as his field of action. None of us is capable of his shoe’s dust and we have the whole of world to cope with. Whichever individual or a group claims that it alone has the capability of bringing about an Islamic revolution, is deceiving itself. In the vast expanding world of knowledge and the earth becoming practically one place, specialization has replaced generalization. Today none can encompass all the spheres of even a single field. All the parts of a car viz engine, chassis, wheels and body are vital. A car cannot run without any one of them. No car company in the world today can manufacture all the parts of its product but an integrated effort of all these brings about a car running on the road. Every single product we use from a needle to an aeroplane needs a coordination of specialists of different departments for its existence. An ENT specialist does not attempt a bypass surgery of heart on a patient and a physician sends one to a dentist when he develops a cavity in teeth. Our Jama’ats should understand that every one of them can utmost become a department of Al-Jama’at. They should have a true brotherly feeling of co-operation and coordination to run Al-Jama’at. My advice to you is not to become a member of such group or Jama’at, which claims that it alone is perfect. At the same time you should always join and cooperate in those of their activities that are good for Islam and humanity. “...Cooperate (with everyone) in righteousness and piety. Help not one another in sin and transgression...” (Quran 5:2) You cannot become a master of Quran and Sunnah overnight to judge between them but it is not difficult that when a member of any one of them (or any other group) calls you to join or cooperate in a particular activity, take a little time to find out if it is good in the eyes of Quran and Sunnah. It will gradually increase your knowledge and perception and your confusion will slowly evaporate. http://tinyurl.co.uk/g4k8[/quote]
