In European countries such as France, Germany and Belgium, it continues to grow significantly. Allegations of polytheism, heresy and terrorism against the Tablighi Jamaat in general and groups or individuals associated with it are absolutely meaningless,” he said.Syed Sadatullah Husaini, president of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind, said Saudi Arabia’s decision goes against the principles of Islam that the country claims to follow.“It is unjust … They have done this earlier too. Tablighi Jamaat has its own modern-day literature which they insist that members read instead of the Quran and Hadees. Members undertake tours as a religious activity. This is not well received by those who go by the strictest interpretation of Quran and Hadees,” he said.Arshad Madani, president of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind (JUH), had earlier said it was wrong to connect Tablighi Jamaat with proselytizing as the group works “only among Musalmans to make them better Musalmaans.”
