It is tough time to face 5 people at your door step, mostly aged ones with long beard, having tasbeeh in their hands and inviting you to join them just for few minutes and that too not for any difficult task but to offer prayer in the masque which is otherwise mandatory in our religion. Its difficult to get yourself bailed out easily and if you could, still lot of embarrassment. And if you join them, it might take few hours and they will further try to convince you for a "Sehroza" (3 days tour for tableegh).
well that's the masla right there y some ppl just run away from them.
They come with a whole package of initiation into thier clan ... deen mein mehnat karen, ek chilla lagayen, sehroza ... i dont know what else.
If only they could say : we dont want anything from you, other than the fact that we r trying to convey Allah's message to everyone ... cuz it's in our nature to forget, and it's a reminder for not only you, but for us as well. If u r interested in knowing what Allah has communicated to us, why He has put you here, and want to know Him better ... why dont u give it a try and visit us for 15-20 mins on Sunday for a discussion? or an initial meetup to see how we can make sense of all this?
I mean something like that ... talking to a person's intellect instead of automatic tape recording.
It shud b an intellectual/emotional journey to God, instead of some series of steps with no soul in it.
I've been to many tableeghi gatherings, and it's kinda just some tableeghi sahib saying the same things over n over again.
One fine gathering, I was shocked to find the maulvi sahib at first telling the fadaail of tableegh, and then immediately after saying : who will answer this call of God & His Prophet (SAW) and join us ? Who will work for God & His Prophet (SAW)?
I mean ... it sounded like if we dont join, we'd end up in hell or sumthng.
As I said earlier, I dont like at all this ghernay wala style ... I'd rather listen to some Alim who takes me to God, than a tableeghi sahib who takes me to a chilla
