Warning Against the Tabligh Group and Mentioning Those Who Wrote About Their Condition

Question:
The questioner: Is the Tabligh group in India Sufi? We ask Your Eminence to refer us to a book about the condition of this group?

Answer:
O brothers, much has been written about Tabligh by those who have been with them and those who have studied their conditions. There are many books that clarify the state of the Tablighi, such as the book *Al-Qawl al-Baligh* by Shaykh Hamud al-Tuwajiri, who is among those who are cautious and who speak based on knowledge, not conjecture or ignorance. And his books, praise be to Allah, are well-organized and reliable. Among them is, ah, ah, Shaykh Taqi al-Din al-Hilali al-Maghribi, who has a book called *Al-Minhaj*. It is a large, multi-volume book explaining the conditions of the Tabligh group.
And Anas accompanied them and wrote about them based on observation and knowledge, and they are many, so their matter did not remain, their matter did not remain hidden. They are a Sufi group, they are a Sufi group, and we, praise be to Allah, are not in need of people coming to us from outside, visiting our lands, which are the land of da'wah and the source of da'wah.
And in it the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) was sent, and in it the Qur'an and the Sunnah were revealed. So the obligatory thing is the opposite: that we guide the people and benefit them, whereas they come to guide us. Why did they not benefit in their lands? Why do they cross their lands and come to us? If they have benefit and knowledge, let them benefit their lands; their lands are full of shirk (associating partners with Allah) and the religions of disbelief. Why do they not strive and call to Allah in their lands? He starts with them first.
