I also Agree that there are some People in Tableeghi Jamat ,Who force you to Pray and ask you to go for 3 Days, 40 Days Etc..But arent they doing this for you?
What Benefit will they get if you leave for 3 Days and Learn somethign new about islam!There Propoganda is if by giving Dawat if someone start walking on the right Path then it will be enough for them to secure a Good place in Heaven..Thats All. And i think this is What All the Messengers and Sahabas Did
Forcing ppl to go on tableegh for 40 days and forcing them to pray is Wrong which ever way u spin it.
Its a very weak excuse "Doing this for you" i mean who the fuck made u the "thekedar" of someone's life?

Allah Made All of Us Thekadar of Islam!

*AL-QURAN* Tum wo behtreen Umat ho jise logo k liey nikala gaya Tum naiki ka hukam dete ho badi se rokte ho or Allah pr Iman rakhte ho... AL-IMRAN. V#110

First of All they will never ask you to go for 40 Days Until you Mentally accept that this is right and you are willing to go for it! The Maximum they will ask you at Door Step is 'Brother it will be Great if you can Spent Sometime with us in Masjid for Bayan and Stuff' Thats All.So do you think if they are asking you to Pray or Sit in Bayan is wrong then i am Sorry !

And why 40 Days...here is Just Some Small facts about it!

[h=1]The Significance of the Number 40 in Islam[/h]MV: The number 40 is repeated in Islam a lot of times. Only Allah knows the answer, so gathering a lot of information I have found lots of things that took place with the number 40.

  • The Prophet (Pbuh) revealed his Prophethood at the age of 40 year as instructed by Allah (swt).
  • Musa Alahi salam traveled 40 years in the desert.
  • Musa spent 40 days on Mount Sinai where he received the 10 commandments.
  • Prophet Ibrahim spent 40 days in a fire and lived because Allah made the fire like flowers.
  • Prophet Yunus was in a whales mouth for 40 days.
  • On the 40th ayat of surah baqarah Allah changes the topic.
  • Forty was the number of days that Prophet Ilyas spent in the wilderness before God appeared to him in a cave on Mount Horeb.
  • Forty was the number of days that Prophet Isa was tempted in the desert by Satan.
  • Muhammad (PBUH) was praying and fasting in the cave for 40 days.
  • Muhammad (PBUH) then had 40 followers to spread the religion of Islam.
  • Prophets Dauud and Suleiman each ruled for forty years.
  • Regarding the flood that Noah encountered, it is said that for forty days water continued to pour from the heavens and to stream out over the earth.
  • Prophet Isa walked the desert and fasted in the wilderness for forty days.
  • There is also a hadith from Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) that the prayers of a person who gossips would not be accepted for forty days and nights. (Al-Kafi, Vol. 6, p. 400)
  • Imam Ali has narrated from Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) that one who memorizes and preserves forty hadith relating to their religious needs shall be raised by Allah as a learned scholar on the Day of Resurrection.
  • It is said that a person’s intellect attains maturity in forty years, everyone according to his own capacity.
  • It is believed that one who assists a blind man for forty steps becomes worthy of entering heaven.
  • Imam Baghir has said: “The prayers of someone who drinks wine are not accepted for forty days.”
  • Believers have also been encouraged to devote themselves to God Almighty for forty days to see the springs of wisdom break forth from their hearts and flow from their tongues.
So as you can see 40 is represented many times in Islamic matters, but also took place in the other books (Bible, Torah). There are probably more then this, What do you think is the reason for the high value?
Allah knows all.

Since we all believe that Prophet Mohammad (S.A.W.W) was the last Prohpet and there is no one else coming to Spread the Din of Islam,So being a Muslim its a responsibility of every person to continue Spreading Islam like Sahabs and Prophet Mohammad (S.A.W.W) did.

By 'Doing it for you' I mean what Benefit he will be getting by inviting you for prayers? He came to your House leaving all his work,family and life just to invite you for the Bayan or Prayers...He will not be getting any money or anything regarding this,But by inviting you his heart will be Learning some new,He will Start praying for you that Allah i gave your Message to this guy..Now its your Responsibility to Give him Hidayat!

Whatever reason he is doing it for isnt anyone's concern except if he is forcing ppl to pray and forcing them to go on Tableegh for 40 days under the pretense of "Doing it for you" which is flawed

أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أنه قال: من دعا إلى هدى كان له من الأجر مثل أجور من تبعه لا ينقص ذلك من أجورهم شيئًا، ومن دعا إلى ضلالة كان عليه من الإثم مثل آثام من تبعه لا ينقص ذلك من آثامهم شيئًا
If anyone calls others to follow right guidance, his reward will be equivalent to those who follow him (in righteousness) without their reward being diminished in any respect, and if anyone invites others to follow error, the sin will be equivalent to that of the people who follow him (in sinfulness) without their sins being diminished in any respect”.
Spoiler: show
It was narrated on the authority of Abu Hurayrah [radiallahu anhu - may Allah be pleased with him] that the Prophet [sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam - peace be upon him] stated : Immam Muslim [rahimahullaah - may Allaah have mercy upon him] in his Sahih, Book on Knowledge, no. 2674; Imaam Al-Tirmidhy [rahimahullaah - may Allaah have mercy upon him] in his Sunan, Book on Knowledge, no. 2674; Imaam Abu Dawud [ rahimahullaah - may Allaah have mercy upon him] in his Sunan, Book on Sunnah, no. 4609; Imaam Ahmad ibn Hanbal[rahimahullaah - may Allaah have mercy upon him] in his Musnad, vol. 2, p. 397; and Imaam Al-Darimy [rahimahullaah - may Allaah have mercy upon him] in his Sunan, Introduction, no. 513.


The Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) said:
The best one fram amongst my ummah is one who invites (the people) towards God, the Exalted, and makes them such that they are loved by Him.
Kanz al-U'mmaal, vol. 10, pg. 152, tr. 28779.
Hazrat Ali (R.A) related:The Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) said: O'Lord! Be Merciful towards my vicegerents!
He was asked: O' Prophet of God! Who are your vicegerents?
He replied: They are those who shall, after me, convey (and narrate) my traditions and customs (to others.)
Al-Amaali (Shaykh Saduq), pg. 247; U'yun Akhbar al-Reza, vol. 2, pg. 37.
Imam Baqir (R.A), in a letter to Sa'd al-Khair, wrote:O' My brother! Surely God has placed with each of the Prophets (peace be upon them), people of knowledge, who bear up the hardships along with them (peace be upon them), call towards guidance those who are misguided, answer the call of those who invite towards God and invite (people) towards God.
Al-Kafi, vol. 8,pg. 56; Bihaar al-Anwaar, vol. 78,pg. 363.
The Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) said:A person shall arrive on the Day of Judgment and shall be in possession of good deeds in the measure of vastly accumulated clouds or towering mountains. (Witnessing them) he shall ask: O' My Lord! How can these be for me when I have not performed them? God shall reply: This is your knowledge that you had taught and conveyed to the people, and which was acted upon after you had died.
Basaair al-Darajaat, vol. 5, pg. 16; Bihaar al-Anwaar, vol. 2 ,pg. 18.

Forcing doesn't mean they will put a gun to your temple or threaten to kill your family in case you refuse to go with them.

Forcing, in this context, stands for 'peechay par jana aur tanzia batein karna' which is equally as bad and definitely not recommended. People who follow this technique of preaching are doing themselves, this act of preaching and their religion a huge disservice.

Im not debating the points raised in the hadiths

My sole point is the one I quoted from ur original post

And as i said " Doing it for you" is a weak argument when talking about forcing someone

I have major major reservations against the concept of 'doing it for you' or 'better than us'

I dont want anyone to do it for me, Allah has given me enough brain and body that I can take care of it myself. Thank you very much.

I go to a doctor when I feel unwell, I go to a shop when I want to buy something and I go to kitchen when I want to eat something. The exact same thing is true to religion. When I want to explore religion, I will do it on my own. Imagine if some group came to your house representing a company and asked for money and said JOIN US (all the freaking time) and pushed you and tried to sweet talk you, and labeled you stuff when you didnt buy their product...what then? is anyone going to let them make a decision for me?? Take away my right?

Islam, in my opinion, has NEVER EVER tried to convince people. Presenting someone with information (invitation) and convincing (pushing) someone to follow them are two completely different things.

They are not chosen ones, nor are they special, nor are they any better than us. It is between ME and MY GOD ONLY. He knows best, who is better. No one knows what my 'neeyat' is when praying, and no one knows what their's is. They are just like me, you and everyone else.

Most of us, Pakistanis, are too emotionally attached to religion to see past what they are really selling. Anyone saying anything else is labelled a 'kafir'/'baaghi'/'hidayat nahi mili' in a heartbeat
The are using the name of religion to recruit people for their cause, that's it. And history is filled with these examples. I am not saying all of them are bad people, but the concept is flawed. Again no hard feelings, just my opinion.

Well entitlement to opinion doesn't mean that you declare the fundamentals of an idea to be flawed without having basic knowledge.
Its not the matter of opinion if Islam tried to convince people but fact starting from its advent. History is really filled with examples of people like us (at least me) who had the nerves to point fingers at other without having their own life style under consideration.
I happened to have an opportunity to observe closely fellows from tableeghi jamat. Their conduct was exceptional and manners better than most of ideal and educated people. Neither did they sell me their product nor did press me to do anything. Uh, and I am still not recruited into their network. Your thoughts actually appear to be an amalgamation of after effects of the scenario in Pakistan where trust is a lost commodity people tend to stay away from phenomenon they are afraid of having an effect of.

Once Hazrat Ali RA visted a mosque in his Period of khilaphat , he saw a group of people in mosque (Not local with their bags etc.),telling muslims about Nimaz. Hazrat called their "ameer" and asked him difference b/w "nuskh" and "nasikh " ayat, ameer had no knowledge of it so he said so ,upon listening this Hazrat asked "nimazis" to throw thier bags out of mosque and said "HE WHO DONT HAVE COMPLETE KNOWLEDGE OF ISLAM CANT PREACH ISLAM"

You wont believe the number of text I receive and each one linked with Hazrat Ali RA. So do you have a proper reference? Since I always believed knowledge is of no use if kept to oneself.

Islam is NOT a personal matter, it is a societal matter. Many harbor the misconception that it is between them and Allah only, no.

It is the responsibility of good Muslims to promote Islam to prevent "gumrahi" of people. In-fact, this is a responsibility of the government itself but Pakistani leadership ka Allah hi hafiz hai.

@All : You guys Misunderstood the meaning of 'Doing it for you' Kindly refer all the Context and Hadiths in the Same post and try to understand!

Please Explain me one thing !There are Millions of Muslims around the world ,but only few of them get the Chance to Offer Prayers ... For Most of Us its difficult to pray Namaz in Mosque ,Leave the Mosque some of us not even Pray it on time ! So if we cannot Practice the Basic requirement to be a Good Muslim on time ,then why Blaming Some one who are doing it right? is it really Difficult to leave your Houses for 3 Days? if Yes then how will you Leave for Jihad if you cannot Participate in a Small Practice of Learning Islam!

Most of the Guys are Quoting that they are propogating a Network for there own Good Deeds...So Let me Tell you one thing...Yes they are doing the Propoganda for Learning and Spreading the Islam and preparing for Jihad!Jihad Against Kuffar!!! Not with any Shia/Sunni/Baravali/Blah Blah!

There is no God except Allah and Prophet Mohammad (S.A.W) is his Last Prophet ! If You Believe in this then you are Muslim! if not then you are welcome to Join any Club of Sects!

Islam does not allow us to say any Muslim a Kaafir,Its between him and Allah ! we have no right to Judge anyone and Label him as Kafir!

Peace!

Your thoughts actually appear to be an amalgamation of after effects of the scenario in Pakistan where trust is a lost commodity people tend to stay away from phenomenon they are afraid of having an effect of.
I have met with, stayed with and spent quiet a bit of time actually with them. So when I do point my finger, it is due to this personal experience and knowledge. Branding someone's opinion 'without having basic knowledge' is judging without knowing. While defending their behavior, you jumped to conclusions and branded my opinion as 'amalgamation'.
Remember this line that I said:
Anyone saying anything else is labelled a 'kafir'/'baaghi'/'hidayat nahi mili' in a heartbeat
I have studied nearly all sects and practices deeply ( I have gone on seh rozas and stuff) and not just out of personal preferences but scientifically and analytically gone though most of the literature. But I never claim to be a mufti, cleric, mulvi, etc

The reason why I wrote convincing(pushing) in bracket was me pointing to the fact that convincing can be done without pushing people.
I wrote what I found in my research and experience.

Again, I dont have problem with people (as I stated in my post), I have the problem with someone trying to interfere between me and my beliefs unnecessarily.


PG doesn't allow religious thread, thus I am going to try not to derail it.
I am going to quote just a few small ayats, if anyone wants to understand then please read them with an open mind. I will now shut up cause this is not the right platform to argue about religion, nor do I care about my opinion being the final statement.

Allah (S.W.T.) says in surat Al-Isra', (Verse 15), what can be translated as, "Whoever goes right, then he goes right only for the benefit of his ownself. And whoever goes astray, then he goes astray to his own loss. No one laden with burdens can bear another’s burden…"

Allah also says in surat Fussilat, (Verse 46), what can be translated as, "Whosoever does righteous good deed it is for (the benefit of) his ownself, and whosoever does evil, it is against his ownself, and your Lord is not at all unjust to (His) slaves."

Allah also says in
surat Fatir, (Verse 18), what can be translated as, "And no bearer of burdens shall bear another’s burden, and if one heavily laden calls another to (bear) his load, nothing of it will be lifted even though he be near of kin…"

The previous verses and many others in the Qur’an emphasize an important principle of the justice of Allah which can be summarized as follows: The responsibility of any person is exclusively his, since he has free will, choice, and sane meaning able to distinguish between good and evil.

They are a nuisance, nothing more IMO. Coming at most inappropriate times and when I am doing something important I have to stand and listen to their 5-10 minutes of "TAPE RECORDING" type speech.
I am a Muslim, I know what's right and wrong. If you so like to preach then go to Non Muslim countries and preach there and get ready to face the hardships that come with it like Our Prophet P.B.U.H faced when he preached to Non Muslims.
Or at the very least go to villages, trust me 99% of the villagers don't even know Kalma, they never Fast, never offer Prayers (even Jummah which we citizens do mostly) and know how to recite Quran.
On top of that, these so called preachers aren't very good Muslim themselves. No one becomes a true believer by just increasing your beard and rounding streets hitting bells without knowing what they may be doing. If I want to hear tableegh, I can do it online very easy or I will go to a mosque. I don't need these so called mostly uneducated "Molvis" on my door to know what Islam and being Muslim is.

Nuisance. That was the word I was looking for all along.
I wonder how most of us would feel if a group of Christian missionaries come to our house and start tableegh, lol
