No Money No Religion Tabligh Berpecah Dua Tiga Sheikul Perang Dengan Ak47 Tikam Dengan Pisau

This post may be of note for Muslim readers. 
For the non Muslim readers if at all, you might find this interesting to note how religion always (always times 10) divides and breaks up the human race. This is applicable to all religions. However since the Tabligh has a sizeable presence here in Malaysia, this may be relevant to knowing your neighbours. 
Each year or every two years there are THREE great congregations of Muslims at the THREE MAIN Tabligh centers in Nizamuddin (Delhi), at Tongi in Bangladesh and in Raiwind in Pakistan. Sometimes TWO MILLION Tablighis may congregate at Tongi, making it the largest "pilgrimage site" after Mecca in Saudi Arabia. 
Do read my conclusion. It is all about how to operate a "franchise" and too much decentralisation.
Here is some news about the Tabligh Jamaat or TJ. This is a religious 'cult' that started in India in the 1900s and has spread all over the world (except the Arab countries and Iran). 
Despite having over 80 million followers around the world there is hardly any Arab or Iranian / Persian in this cult group. Most of the members are of Indo-Pak-Bangla ethnicity, with a smattering of Malays, Indonesians, Mindanaos and the odd Mat Salleh.  
The founding philosophy of the Tabligh was to eschew the worldy life and they were also  apolitical.  (There is a theory - click here - that the British colonial power  "fostered" the Tabligh in India in the early 1900s to subdue rising militant and anti British sentiment among the Muslims in north India). Well not anymore. By 2018 the TJ was quite irreconcilably split up into two or maybe three factions. The reason has been mundane worldly issues like money and power.  
Here are some main Press clips.

Differences between two camps simmering for long time Currently two TJs operating in London and UK

One adheres to Maulana Saad Kandhalvi in Delhithe other follows Wahab's Aalami Shura in Raiwind

TABLIGHI JAMAAT SHAITAANI SPLIT
April 13, 2018 

TWO BELLIGERENT FACTIONS, THE DEBACLE, THE SHAITAANIYAT 
two mutually hostile Tablighi Jamaat factions
No one knows solution for diseaseculminated in ruinous split of Tabligh Jamaat
prelude for demise of Tabligh split will not be healedchasm will incrementally widen
real causes for humiliating crisis of Tabligh are:
Belief that Tabligh sole repository of SalvationColossal waste of wealthshamelessly waste millions of dollars on Ijtimas which have assumed carnival proportionsthey squander so much wealth like shaitaan  
Ijtimas are commercialised 
Ijtima transformed into mall by hundreds of stalls

monetary objective of primary importance
shenanigans behind commercial facade of Tabligh Jamaat
Raiwand, Pakistan became mini-stateTablighis not aware of seven day coup in 2011 at Raiwind markaz Qutbuddin, Haji Abdul Wahhab’s adopted son attempted a coup to install himself as Ameerarmed with AK47 assault rifles on armoured vehiclestormed the grounds and took control for a week
Tablighis speak ill of those who do not participate in their programmesWithout slightest fear for Allah Ta’ala speak ill of Heirs of Rasul like Maulana Ashraf Thanvi, Maulana Masihullah

Tablighis employ goondagerry (thuggery) to prevent deeni projects
ulema in a village in India planned to build non tabligh Masjid
Tablighi goondas (thugs) threatened to kill him

People complaining about goonda (thugs) tactics of Tabligh
goonda thug violence at Nizaamuddin markaz
also in Bangladesh markaz

Jamaat not hesitated to use vulgar abuse, violence
reports from all over the world of this shaitaaniyat of Tablighi Jamaat


My conclusion :  
The Catholic Church is the world expert at operating a religious franchise. Few non Catholics know that the Vatican in Rome determines the topic for the Sunday sermon THROUGHT the tens of thousands of Catholic Churches all over the world. It is centralised control.  
The original Tabligh ijtima or world congregation was held at its Markaz Nizamuddin in Delhi.  Then the Tabligh allowed ijtema to be held in Bangladesh, Pakistan, the United Kingdom and other places around the world including in Malaysia (at the Sri Petaling Mosque near Bukit Jalil).
Due to the huge population of Muslims in Pakistan and Bangladesh, the markaz in these places began to have a life of their own which required local management expertise. Hence in Raiwind in  Pakistan and Tongi in Bangladesh their local shura councils became very powerful.
Soon they were able to question and criticise the HQ in Delhi. This is exactly what has happened. The Pakistan guys disagreed with the Delhi guys about some rituals and practises. 
There were actually other reasons - money. 
As the news report suggests huge amounts of money became involved,  from donors, from businesses that operate at these markaz locations (to take advantage of the crowds) etc.  Their vision became 'hazed over' by money.
The rift blew up and then spread to the Tabligh in the UK which is now split in its "doctrinal loyalty" to either Pakistan or Delhi.
Bangladesh is reported to be loyal to Delhi but late last year (2018)  the Bangladeshi guys refused to allow the Maulana Saad Khandlavi from Delhi (the present ameer and grandson of the founder of Tabligh) from entering their markaz or centre in Bangladesh.  That is very serious.
Folks, religion is not based on science, evidence or logic. All religions. It is just blind faith. Either you believe or you dont believe. Hence they cannot prove their positions. When you cannot prove your position how on Allah's good earth can you offer solutions for the human race? 
As opposed to the Quran. The Quran requires logic and evidence. You must prove your position.
