Tablighi Jamaat(TJ) held a congregation in Nizamuddin in Delhi that is responsible for an enormous spike in COVID-19 cases. But what is this TJ?
TJ,literally the Outreach Society, is an Islamic missionary movement that focuses on urging Muslims to return to practising their
religion as it was practised during the lifetime of the Islamic prophet Muhammad (571-632 AD).
During the Lifetime of that prophet muezzins used to call the faithful to prayer by shouting from top of minarets; people used to travel on foot or on camels,maybe horses too. Needless
to say there was no Rail,motor vehicle or air travel,no loudspeakers,no cellphones,no computers.
What puzzles a lot of people is,how come these devout Tablighis do not hesitate to use all these modern amenities! Is their devoutness confined to wearing the Arabic robe,exposing
their heels and eating and excreting in the prescribed manner?
For instance,if they had travelled by camel after the Markaz then Corona would not have spread so far and wide. And people would have really appreciated them for the pain they subjected themselves to for the sake of
their religion and called them devout! Instead,they are now being compared to serial killers!
Can anyone clarify? Just curious.
