Indian preacher Maulana Saad Kandhalvi’s attempts to usurp the sub-continental group have been time and time again rebuffed by Tablighis who defer to tradition. Saad Kandhalvi announced himself the amir in defiance of his predecessor Inamul Hasan’s orders. The previous leaders of the Tabligh, Maulana Ilyas Kandhlawi, Maulana Yusuf Kandhlawi, and Maulana Inamul Hasan Kandhlawi, have all earned praise around the world for their contribution. Kakrail Mosque affiliates who pledged themselves to Saad Kandhalvi are in violation of the shariah and disqualified from their positions in the Tabligh. During the 2018 Biswa Ijtema, Saad Kandhalvi attempted to deliver a sermon at the concluding prayers.
