Organization[edit]

Kakrail Mosque, Dhaka. The Tablighi Jamaat movement in Bangladesh is mostly based here.

Tablighi Jamaat follows an informal organizational structure and keeps an introvert institutional
profile. It has been described as "a free-floating religious movement with minimal dependence on
hierarchy, leadership positions, and decision-making procedures." [49] It keeps its distance from mass
media and avoids publishing details about its activities and membership. The group also exercises
complete abstinence from expressing opinions on political and controversial issues mainly to avoid
the disputes which would accompany these endorsements.[50][51] As an organisation, Tabligh Jamaat
does not seek donations and is not funded by anyone, in fact members have to bear their own
expenditures. Since there is no formal registration process and no official membership count has
ever been taken, the exact membership statistics remain unknown. [30] The movement discourages
interviews with its elders and has never officially released texts, although there are publications
associated with the movement (usually referred as Tablighi Nisaab (Tablighi Curriculum). The
emphasis has never been on book learning, but rather on first-hand personal communication. [16][44]
The organisation's activities are coordinated through centres and headquarters called Markaz.
Tablighi Jamaat is maintained from its international headquarters, called Nizamuddin Markaz, in the
Nizamuddin West district of South Delhi, India, from where it originally started. It also has country
headquarters in over 200 countries to co-ordinate its activities. These headquarters organize
volunteer, self-funding people in groups (called jamaats), averaging ten to twelve people, for
reminding Muslims to remain steadfast on path of Allah.[10] These jamaats and preaching missions
are self funded by their respective members.
Amarat- Ameer is title of supervisor(doyen) in the Tabligh Jamaat and the attribute largely sought is
the quality of faith, rather than the worldly rank.[46] The ameer of Tabligh Jamaat is appointed for life
by a central consultative council (shura) and elders of the Tabligh Jamaat.[44] The
first ameer was Maulana (cleric) Muhammad Ilyas Kandhalawi, later succeeded by his son Maulana
(cleric) Muhammad Yusuf Kandhalawi and then by Maulana (cleric) Inaam ul Hasan. After the
demise of Moulana (cleric) Inaamul Hasan, a Shura (committee) with 10 members was formed,
which would consult and make decisions for one Ameer. A shura was appointedd instead of one
Ameer. Shura consisted of A Pakistan Haji Abdul Wahhab, Maulana Zubair ul Hasan who is the son
of Inamul Hasan, and Maulana Saad Kandhalwi. latest ijtema was held in Aurangabad in which 5
million people attended in feb 2018. Maulana has pressed Muslim ummah to live simple life and
specially in there marriages same like sahaba and rasool(sas).
