assalamualaikum wakaifahalukum?
how is it going all bloggers?. i know, it's been a while since last time i wrote on this blog. it's because i was busy with other stuff i guess. anyway, regarding the topic that i am bringing it up this time, i would like to make a clear statement that so called jamat tabligh is not really an association or organization. it's basically an effort or a movement, as some people would prefer call it that way, for reviving the life of Prophet Muhammad S.A.W. and his companions. for those who criticize or even look down to the people who volunteer themselves for this effort, u guys better think twice and do deeper research or investigation. don't just listen to some guys who have bad thinking or bad history with this jamaat. basically i,m no expert nor an aalim (righteous scholar) when it comes to describe in details about this effort as my experience and knowledge is so limited and only Allah, He is all knowing and only He knows best. People tend to argue and convince that they are right while to others are just wrong. that's not actually our characteristic as muslims basically. even worst instead of using authentic source while giving opinion, they 'd prefer to use their own minds to describe and explain their reasons for neglecting from geting involved in this effort. it is a dangerous situation that when muslims at this time of age would rather let the life of Rasulullah (sunnah) is being taken away from our life and there is nothing effort is taking place in order to revive back what has been disappeared. what was the virus injected to the hearts of muslims that made us to suffer the disease of heart, caused the imaan weaker and the amaal was gone.. and what is actually the most effective remedy for it?. let's ponder..
Imam Nawawi rah. once said that, the ummah of the last would not be able to be corrected unless the same method that how the previous ummah was corrected is applied to this ummah..
this clearly indicates that we should reopen the book of history and it will tell us how the sahabah r.anhum used to be corrected by the Holy Prophet Muhammad S.A.W. and do some research and you'd find the remedy insyaAllah.
Rasululllah once said that " I left you with two things in which that you would not go astray if you hold tight with them.. they are alquran, the book of Allah and the sunnah of His Prophet S.A.W.."
so, is there any other source better than these two? we are not talking about fiqh. since fiqh would have two more supporting sources; ijmak and qias. we are actually talking about the real solution that was shown by Rasulullah and his companions to islah @ correct the disease of this ummah.let's think about it.
the modernity of time has already affected our minds and the way we think. new era of muslim arise where we prefer to try new things in order to solve the disease of our hearts. so many programs has been organized in order to achieve the goal, bringing people closer to Allah.. methods by methods, we keep trying to use different techniques that seem parallel with the up-to-date modern world.
But do we realize that Islam is relevant and universal? if it is true and everyone agrees with that, what does it really mean and how it applies to modern muslim societies and waht stops us from following the righteous scholars in Islam on how they give dakwah? Regardless of how advance the world has turned into and how smart people nowadays to design and structure new ways of giving dakwah, there is no, there is no, and there is no other better solution to correct or islah this ummah than the way Rasulullah and his companions used to do dakwah.
in Quran Allah S.W.T. says" say (O Muhammad) if you say that you love me (Allah S.W.T.) then you must follow him (Rasulullah) and Allah will love in return and He will forgive your sins.." (al-ayaat)
so, what's there to argue?
if you agree with me till this part, the next step is that we'd need to understand what is tabligh jamat is all about.
i would like to quote some definitions of tabligh jamat from wiki eventhough i don't really agree with all parts that are written on wiki but there's some good stuff in there.

Tablighi Jamaat (Urdu: تبلیغی جماعت, Arabic: جماعة التبليغ, English: Society for spreading faith)[2] is a transnational religious movement which was founded in 1926 by Muhammad Ilyas al-Kandhlawi in India.[5] The movement primarily aims at Islamic spiritual reformation by working at the grass roots level, reaching out to Muslims across all social and economic spectra to bring them closer to the practices of the Prophet Muhammad.
Tabligh Jamaat maintains a non-affiliating stature in matters of politics and fiqh (jurisprudence) so as to eschew the controversies that would otherwise accompany such affiliations.
Following the fundamentals of Sunni Islam, every member is allowed to follow his own fiqh as long as it does not deviate from Sunni Islam.[8][26] Tablighi Jamaat defines its objective with reference to the concept of Dawah which literally means 'to call' and connotes to an invitation to act. In religious context, it implies to a call towards prayer which may also refer to a 'mission' if used in reference with religious prophets and people who were assigned such mission. Tabligh Jamaat interprets Dawah as enjoining good and forbidding evil and defines its objective within the framework of two particular Qur'anic verses which refer to this mission.[28] Those two verses are:[29]
Women were encouraged to participate since the beginning of the movement. Some scholars objected on the participation of women but Muhammad Ilyas slowly gained their support and the first jamaat of women was formed in Nizamuddin, Dehli.[32] Accompanied by a close male relative, women are encouraged to go out in jamaats and work among other women and family members while following the rules of modesty, seclusion and segregation. They observe strict rules of hijab by covering their faces and hands.[1][32] Jamaats of women sometimes participate in large annual meetings; otherwise, they commonly hold neighborhood meetings.

Who is better in speech than one who calls (men) to Allah, works righteousness, and says, "I am of those who bow in Islam"?
Let there arise out of you a band of people inviting to all that is good, enjoining what is right, and forbidding what is wrong: They are the ones to attain felicity.—Qur'an sura 3 (Al-i-Imran), ayah 104[17]
Women were encouraged to participate since the beginning of the movement. Some scholars objected on the participation of women but Muhammad Ilyas slowly gained their support and the first jamaat of women was formed in Nizamuddin, Dehli.[32] Accompanied by a close male relative, women are encouraged to go out in jamaats and work among other women and family members while following the rules of modesty, seclusion and segregation.

so that's how wiki defines this jamat, which are true at some parts. the rest, i leave them to you all to judge by yourself. the most important thing is that we all should understand that this effort is not carried by any organization or association. it is an effort of dakwah that has been started by Rasulullah and it remains the same till now.
