Abstract
In this chapter, I give an ethnographic account of my participation in weekly dawah activities in a Cardiff mosque. I started my fieldwork in the UK when I met a Malaysian Tablighi Jamaat group who came in the UK to preach among the Malaysian Students. As part of their preaching journey, they stayed for three days in a mosque near Cardiff University.

Notes
- 1.
Gasht in a neighbouring mosque is known as beruni gasht.
- 2.
Urdu is thought to be the language of Islam in South Asia. In many madrasas in India and Bangladesh, the language of education is Urdu, which is why Tablighi Jamaat followers use many Urdu words during their Tablighi conversation with others.
- 3.
An Arabian Tablighi Jamaat group came to the Uthman mosque to deliver a speech after the evening prayer. They were staying in the Bilal mosque in Cardiff for three days.
