Among the various and great Islamic movements, Tablighi Jamaat has emerged arguably the most widely followed movement in the Islamic world. Emerging from the social , economic and religious conditions of the Mewat region, near Delhi around 1926, it has come to establish its presence in and over one hundred and fifty countries throughout the world with adherents in between 100 to 150 million. This is primarily because of the unique ideology it has pursued in its dawah (call towards Islam) and has further capacity to flourish in a wide range of social and political environments. In this paper an effort has been made to through light on the ideological structure of the Tablighi Jamaat. The paper is based on secondary sources and the main objective of the paper is to provide deep insight into the ideological structure of the Tablighi Jamaat in a precise, compact and systematic manner.

Afkaruna, 2013

India yang dalam beberapa dekade terakhir ini bertransformasi menjadi gerakan Islam internasional yang aktif di pelbagai belahan dunia. Penulis memberikan perhatian pada karakteristik ideology keagamaan dan bentuk keorganisasian Jamaah Tabligh. Penulis berpendapat bahwa komitmen yang kuat dan sikap kerelawanan di kalangan anggota Jamaah ini memberikan dampak kuat pada berlangsungnya kegiatan dakwah Jamaah Tabligh. Tidak seperti organisasi yang lain, sebut saja Ikhwanul Muslimin atau Hizbut Tahrir yang mendasarkan model dakwahnya pada materi-materi tertulis dan dakwah keorganisasian, Jamaah Tabligh melakukan banyak pendekatan personal dalam menyampaikan pesan-pesan Islam (dakwah) kepada komunitas-komunitas Muslim.

Abstrak Artikel ini mendiskusikan Tablighi Jamaat sebagai gerakan Islam transnasional yang muncul pada awal abad ke-20 dan menyita perhatian setelah peristiwa nine eleven (9/11) di Amerika. Salah satu hal yang menarik dan mengundang perdebatan di kalangan ilmuwan adalah apakah Tablighi Jamaat merupakan bagian dari gerakan atau kelompok radikalis atau bahkan teroris, atau sebatas gerakan keagamaan belaka. Perdebatan-perdebatan tersebut terkait dengan keberadaan Tablighi Jamaat di berbagai negara di seluruh dunia. Bahkan, dapat dikatakan bahwa setiap negara telah terjamah oleh keberadaan Tablighi Jamaat. Dewan Amerika Luar Negeri menunjukkan bahwa diperkirakan ada 50 hingga 80 juta tablighis di seluruh dunia. Jumlah tersebut tentu mengundang kekhawatiran para pengambil kebijakan di berbagai negera, khususnya terkait dengan isu radikalisme. Diskusi dalam artikel ini berdasarkan pada pertanyaan-pertanyaan mendasar tentang siapa sebenarnya Tablighi Jamaat, tujuan dan aktivitas mereka. Namun, tujuan utama dari artikel ini adalah untuk menunjukkan argument-argumen para ilmuwan mengenai keberadaan Tablighi Jamaat dan kemungkinan Tablighi Jamaat terlibat dalam aksi-aksi radikalisme. Secara umum, kajian ini didasarkan pada kajian kepustakaan.

DAVO - Annual Conference, 2003

The paper discusses preliminary findings from field research in India and Pakistan devoted to elicit views and information on the worldview of the Tablighi Jama'at. The project aimed at going beyond the hagiographic literature to reflect the internal culture of the movement. A central element of their sociology is their interpretation of the life of the founder generation of Islam. The paper will show how Tablighi interpretation of this ideal strives to strike a compromise between reformist concepts and current requirements. Their views gain increasing influence as a model for re-Islamising broad sections of Muslims in South Asia and beyond, as they branch out into all regions of the globe where Muslims live.
