Asif bhai, the world markaz has always been nizamuddin, not raiwind or kakrail. Yes, they are also big maraakiz, but nizamuddin is the main headquarters. Please read below:

More than 20 years ago, Hadhratji Maulana Inamul Hassan Saab (Rah) before his death made a council of Shura (referred to Elders Jamat) by selecting few members from all over the world. This council was also referred as Ahle-Hal-wal-Aqad consisted of:

1. Respected Maulana Saeed Ahmed Khan Saab (Rah)

2. Respected Mufti Zainul Aabideen Saab (Rah)

3. Respected Maulana Omar Palanpuri Saab (Rah)

4. Respected Maulana Izhaar ul Hasan Saab (Rah)

5. Respected Maulana Zubair ul Hasan Saab (Rah)

6. Respected Miyaji Mihrab Saab (Rah)

7. Respected Haji Abdul Wahab Saab (Rah)

8. Respected Haji Engineer Abdul Muqeet Saab (Rah)

9. Respected Haji Afzal saab (Rah)

10. Respected Moulana Saad saab (DB)

The Ameer and Faisal (Decision maker) of this Elders Jamat was Hadhrat Miyaji Mihrab saab (rah). Hadhratji Maulana Inaam ul Hasan saab (Rah) wanted to follow the footsteps of Hadhrat Omar bin Khattab (radhi Allah anho) so that this Jamat should make an Ameer for the effort of Dawat after his demise. Hence after the demise of Hazratji (Rah) this Jamat stayed in Markaz and Mashwarahs were done for 3 consecutive days. Subsequently a jamaat of 3 Zimmidaar/Ameers were chosen instead of a Single Ameer due to certain settings, and situations. These 3 Zimmidaar/Ameer were:

1. Respected Maulana Izhaar ul Hasan saab (Rah)

2. Respected Maulana Zubair ul Hasan saab (Rah)

3. Respected Maulana Saad saab (DB)

This was accomplished even though some Ulama/Ahle Ilm were not gratified with this decision. In contrary to the situation Maulana Mufti Aashique Ilahi Bulandsheri (Muhajir Madani) said that “Ameer should only be one”.

The mentioned above Zimmidaar/Ameers use to be Ameer/Faisal (decision maker) turn by turn. After few months, Respected Moulana Izhaar ul Hasan saab (Rah) passed away. Since then the remaining two Elders used to be Faisal (decisionmaker) turn by turn and whenever one of them was away the other elder used to be the Ameer. Never did it happen that the (Elders) jamaat ever came together for Mashwarah to add a third individual in the list of Ameer/Faisal(decision makers).

It is apparent that after the demise of Respected Hadhrat Moulana Zubair ul Hasan saab (Rah), Hadhrat Moulana Saad saab (DB) is the only standing decision maker in Markaz-Nizamuddin.

Now the real Sunnah is being revived. As Rasulullah ﷺ has said (to nearest meaning): If there are three of you, make one among you an Ameer. (reported by Bazaar).

Ulama have explained this hadith by providing few analogies, if 3 people are travelling or are in a jungle/desert, one should be selected as their Ameer. So Tablighi Jamat which does not consist of ONLY 3 people but in millions which are spread all over different towns, villages, cities, and countries working for extraction of evil, and spreading of virtue, should this Jamat not have an Ameer?

In order to keep up the unison, unity, and unanimity among the Muslims, an Ameer has to be followed. The hadith of Rasulullah ﷺ is the evidence necessary to pursue the fact that it is an obligation on Muslims to choose an Ameer for themselves. (Neel-ul-Awtaar)

In contradiction to the present Ameer, if anyone would like to become an Ameer, Rasulullah ﷺ has admonished of such a person in the most undesirable reprimanding. Hadhrat Maulana Saeed Ahmed Khan Saab (Rah) several times used to say with great regret “Alas! We were not able to choose a single Ameer.”

The successors of Tabligh do not have the right to overturn the decision made by the predecessors of Tabligh. The Elders Jamat which was made by Hadhratji Maulana Inam ul Hasan Sab (Rah) got together for only one time in Markaz Nizamuddin for the sole purpose of deciding the Ameer and never again did they got together for any other purpose.

Rather they left this world doing Tabligh while Obeying their elders. Thus, all the actions by the “Elders Jamat” made by Hadhratji, provides us incumbent evidence that proves this Elders Jamat was only made to serve the purpose of choosing an Ameer. In similar fashion, the shura made by Hadhrat Omar (Rad) fulfilled the purpose of choosing an Ameer and then stayed in the obedience of the selected Zimmidaar/Ameer.

The practice of making a Jamat consisting of various Zimmidaar/Ameer in the form of Shura, where the decision is made turn by turn is not acceptable in ISLAM. Neither it has been portrayed by Rasulullah ﷺ while sending Jamaats nor it has been proved by the lives of Sahaba-Ikram (Rad). Moreover, the Four-Imams have not mentioned it to be a recommended practice in their respective Schools of thought.

Alhamdullilah, since his inception, Maulana Saad Sahab (Db) is following the footsteps of our Elders Maulana Ilyas Sahab (Rah), Moulana Yousuf Sahab (Rah) and Moulana Inamul Hassan Sahab (Rah). An Ameer has the right to add/edit /subtract some working methodologies in order to elevate the workers to another level (like Moulana Yousuf Sahab (Rah) introduced Hayaatus Sahaba and Maulana Inamul-Hassan Sahab (Rah) introduced 5 A’maal – these methodologies are way of work and Shariah is not being hampered)

Ahle-Batil want to destroy the importance, reputation, and Markaziyat (Obedience to Markaz with collectiveness) of Nizamuddin. They plan to corrupt the effort of Tabligh, and root it out from the world. Due to the same reason, people are rising against Markaz Nizamuddin, and Maulana Saad Sahab (DB), working on assassinating his character by spreading rumours. The Messenger of Allaah ﷺ said: “It is enough lying for a man to speak of everything that he hears.” Narrated by Muslim in al-Muqaddimah, 6; Saheeh al-Jaami, 4482.

“It is a plea from the entire Ummah to stay against the propaganda created by the media and Ahle-Batil and make special du’as for the protection of the Markaz-Nizamuddin. Furthermore, everyone needs to increase their daily effort, infiradi a’maal, put on an effort to join the Ummah towards unity, and Ijtimaiyyath (collectiveness).” Mufti Saeed Omar Hashmi Mazahari-Qasmi

To conclude, few Hadith in relation to this matter might help understand the importance of the situation.

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Whoever dislikes something of the Ameer then he should be patient as whoever separates the size of a palm from the sultan then his death would be of Jahiliya. (Sahih Bukhari Kitab ul Fitan Vol. 9 pg 59 and Sahih Muslim Kitab ul Emiraate Vol.2 pg134)

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Whoever leaves from the obedience (of the Ameer)and separates from the Jamaat (dies in that state) would die the death of Jahiliya. (Sahih Muslim Kitab ul Emiraate Vol. 2 pg 135)

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Listen and obey (Ameer’s order) even if an Ethiopian slave is made (Ameer) on you whose head is (the size of) a raisin. (Sahih Bukhari Kitab ul Ahkaam Vol. 9 pg78)

Nope you are mistaken. Haji sahab Rh was the faisal/ameer of aalami shura that includes nizamuddin shura as well at that time. In fact not only nizamuddin but for all world marakiz shura, he was the ameer as he was ameer/faisal of aalami shura then. He was also the faisal/ameer of pakistan/raiwind shura at the same time.

Nizamuddin shura was just for India, even though M Saad was the only remaining faisal in India here but aalami/world shura faisal/ameer position/status is above than just regional shura markaz of India. Aalami ameer’s words carry weight/value than regional, national ameer’s.

Since he(Haji sahab Rh) was the ameer of aalami shura and moulvi Saad was just the remaining ameer/faisal of Indian shura at that time, he had the absolute authority to appoint/not to appoint, whom to appoint,etc the ameer of nizamuddin/India shura as that time aalami mashwara going on by aalami shura.

He had every right to even mend/comment on the internal affairs of nizamuddin shura.
Yes, obviously you would had been right in the case if haji sahab Rh was not aalami ameer/faisal at that time and moulvi saad would have been but in reality that was not the case then.

Here instead of obeying the aalami ameer’s instructions, moulana saad sahab not only disobeyed his ameer but also went against the instruction of hazratji inaam sahab Rh.

Yes nizamuddin markaz was also an aalami/world markaz, similar to world marakiz like raiwind and kakrail, and others.

May Allah SWT guide us, aameen

Asif bhai, Haji Abdul Wahab Sb was a member of the shura, he was never a faisal of nizamuddin markaz. He was the Ameer of raiwind, but raiwind isn’t the world markaz. Maulana Saad was the only faisal/Ameer in nizamuddin markaz. This split is to cause Nizamuddin markaz to lose its value, and shift the world markaz to raiwind, but the world markaz will stay as nizamuddin until mahdi arrives.

He was not the only person remaining in aalami shura of hazratji rh, there was also Haji Abdul Wahab sab rh in that shura alive that time and, during the mashwara he was the ameer also.
But moulvi Saad neither obey ameer sab’s advice nor hazratji inaam rh ruling. i.e., he even went against hazratji rh instruction of no ameer and no bayah, astagfirullah.

I can’t reply everything as it will be too lengthy.

You said: “For any institution to function effectively, there must be an Ameer with responsibility to unify the followers”

This is exactly what a Shura does. The Shura has an Ameer.

I presume if you leave Tabligh you will join some other Islamic Organization right?

Then this Shura concept is no different from any Islamic Organizations (that you will be joining), Darul Ulooms or Masjid Commitee. They have a board/shura which elects the president/VC which is never permanent and changes frequently.

I have no doubt that this effort is a noble form of da’wah. However, when there is no clear leadership, it becomes difficult for those at the grassroots level to follow. The ongoing division has created confusion, and it’s hard to know which Ameer to follow.

To be clear, I take Rasulullah ﷺ and the Sahabah (RA) as my ultimate role models. But for any institution to function effectively, there must be an Ameer with responsibility to unify the followers. Unfortunately, the current situation feels like an umbrella with a large hole—failing to provide cover and causing significant harm.

I do not support either side in this conflict, as doing so would imply that the other is wrong—something I am not qualified to judge, especially when it involves such senior and knowledgeable ‘ulama. It truly saddens me that this has happened to the work of Tabligh.

Furthermore, the debates over reading Fazail-e-Amaal, which contains many weak and fabricated ahadith, versus Muntakhab Ahadith, which at least references more authentic sources, have also added to the confusion. After reading your articles, I’m now unsure whether to read either book. I feel more inclined to stick with authentic sources such as the Tafsir and original collections like Sahih al-Bukhari.

Have a look at the Adaab of Ikhtilaf https://tablighi-jamaat.com/en/adab-ikhtilaf/. The refutations on Maulana Saad are also from the prestigious Darul Uloom (See Fatwas)

Da’wa is a responsibility of the final Ummah. Tablighi Jamaat is one of the ways to fulfill this responsibility.

If you don’t prefer Tablighi Jamaat, you can be involved in other efforts of Da’wa.

However, read this article to understand why Tablighi Jamaat is unique (https://tablighi-jamaat.com/en/why-tablighi-jamaat/) and why we think Tablighi Jamaat is closest to the Sunnah (of Da’wah) at least at this time and age.

Are you the authority to call “Ulama-e- soo”? Plz clarify if you don’t follow Deobond at your sweet will.
