Dawat (19.03.2011)

---

I don't beleive that it has spread in 105 countries already in a sort span of time, i thought it was in 74 countries?

Appreantly in Rawalpindi alone the tablighi jamaat markaz lost a lot of its attendees to Dawat-e-Islami? anyone know if this is true?

Let's go out and argue for number of countries, institutes, schools/madrasas, books, lectures, students, teachers, degrees/asnaad, and attendees.

sat here for half an hour reading through all the posts to this thread. Ive noticed something in quite a few of them, the typical Pakistani mindset. Why can't we acceot and be happy that DI is a group working in favour of Sunni Islam and of the Maslak-e-Ahle Sunnat. Here is a group striving for Islam, preaching to many nonmuslims aswel as taking many muslims back to the basics. I could point you many brothers in my local mosque who werent religous probably didnt know how to read namaz properly who went along to DI seminars etc and relearnt the basics. DI has a strong emphasis on basics. One thing I have found fantastic about them is that a brother who didnt know how to do Wudu properly went to them and they happily helped without laughing and mocking him as many others would do. Maybe there are some methods they could change etc. But on top they are doing a fantastic job of making better muslims.

You can't commentate and discuss books of scholars like Hazrat Shah Abdul Haq Muhaddith Dehlvi if you dont know the basics of your deen.

Instilling the love of Allah(SWT) and his beloved habib RasoolAllah(SAW) into followers is a massive achievement itself. Ontop of that they provide alot of literature for free and at very low prices.

Every Sunni Muslim is happy to point at Tablighi Jamaat and such groups and say wow they are doing a good job in thier Dawah missions. But when groups of our own, who are of our Aqeedah are on a similar mission we find faults in thier ways!

[hidayah227]

Truthfully speaking the only fault i have found in dawate islami is them continuously finding faults in others. Besides that they are doing a great job in getting people off the streets & bringing them towards rightousness.

[Khalid_the_Warrior]

Well said brother mureed-garla-shareef, DI are making people realize the basics of islam. Sometime we get too complicated and forget the basics.

They are not perfect but hey who is perfect now-a-days.

[HanafiUK]

Dawat e Islami is Mashallah doing great work for Islam and so is Minhaj ul Quran International and so is Sunni Dawat Islami.  They all have their weakness and problems and negative side but they also have their positive sides and their committment to serving Islam and Mashallah if you do a honest search you will notice how much difference they made to muslim ummah and how they all defended the honour of Prophet pbuh, All in their own ways.

And i am sure all members on Yanabi.com wish them all success and support them all whole heartly and pray for them, Ameen

it just makes one wonder why raise the topic in the first place - if they are influential we will all know about it and if they are not then no one cares! All groups are representatives of islam, healthy competition is when they compete to do good and unhealthy is when they compete to show each other up. It is never about groups but they are just a vehicle to enjoin good. Enjoining good does not involve in rubbing the other parties nose in it. Where groups such as di and sdi have erred is making maslak e aala hazrat as their basis - whereas it should be islam. Islam is open and inclusive where as any maslak will be restrictive in thought and membership. A great example is the tv issue - sticking to maslak it leaves di open to attack and sticking to islam there is no problem!

[Tawbah]

Is there an offical estimate on how many Dawat E Islami murid are there in Pakistan, India, and the whole world?

[Dawat]

Too much in-fighting that is NOT going to get us anyway, when you set up something as big as Dawat E Islami (Mashallah) you can set up your own rules and make your own decisions on how you want to run it as long as you follow Shariah, until then just do what the Ameer ahle sunnah says.

Mashallah a lot of hard work as gone into this organisation, at least show some consideration and respect!

I have respect for all the organizations who are working for ahlus sunna wal jamat, but from my experience and listening and attending lectures i would say Dawat e islami is NO1 because they do everyone's scanning, they will talk on your faults which i'm sorry not many others are doing, they are more sincere in preaching and practicing. I never hear any scholar coming on TV and saying I ask everyone to wear imama sharif and sunna clothing and they do it only to make me happy not to please Allah, these are the exacts word of ameer e alhe sunnat. I don't call my self a member of D.I infact i call my self following what has been thought by D.I, seek knowldge only for Allah sake and call other's to madani athmosphere not to promote D.I but to please Allah

No i'm not a mureed of moulana ilyas qadri sahib, neither i'm interested in becoming a mureed of anyone, i just want to follow the true teachings of islam, however i'm more addicted to Dawateislami environment and teachings and i also love other arabian scholars ie Shaykh Muhammad Al Yaqoobi, Shaykh Ninowy, Hamza Yusuf, Shaykh Nuh kim Keller etc.. any scholar who does my postmortem of every component of my body

yes they claim they are the best and they always find others doing wrong .

For a good islamic jamaat which ever they need to concentrate on work not the rewards and it doesnt matter what number they are one two three every jamat need sincerity and quality but most after quantity.

2 years on from the start of this thread.. how Influenital is DI?

[raza89]

From what I have seen they are influential, no doubt about that. However I feel sometimes they skip the more important things and jump to Naats and etc. Instead of teaching the person how to properly read the Quran, teach Fiqh and etc. They will teach the person some duroods and how to live your life according to the Sunnah. This is not a bad thing BUT you should have the person complete the Fardth acts then teach these things. Yes yes the Turban and clothing are important because it is the Sunnah of our Rasool Allah Sallala Hu Alahi Wa Salaam.

Regarding the books, I got one and I made a oath to NEVER buy one again. It was suppose to be about Ramadan and 98% of the stuff was talking about attending DI programs and such. This really got to me and when I started reading some of their online works and attended the programs. I really didn't get much out of it.

They are a good group but not for me. I am sure they have done great work in all different nations and that is a blessing but in my eyes they need to improve a lot of things.
