Abstract
Tablighi Jamaat is an internationally proselytising and preaching movement, dedicated to reaffirming the basic principles of Islam and to drawing back into the fold of the religion Muslims who may have strayed. At the same time, the preaching is intended to confirm and to strengthen the faith of the Tablighi missionaries themselves. Tabligh is professedly a non-political organisation, and because it operates entirely within the Muslim community, it is relatively invisible to outsiders.
