Abstract

[This chapter outlines and analyses the origins of the Tabligh Jama’at as a non-hierarchical and itinerant transnational Islamic revivalist movement. Exploring Tabligh Jama’at’s humble beginnings in socially depraved, economically deficient and religiously syncretised Mewat, the chapter reveals how the movement’s effort to make Muslims observant and faithful believers became over time its global endeavour and preoccupation. The establishment of British colonial rule and the spread of modernisation in India and other parts of the Muslim world created the context for the moral and spiritual reform of Muslims and their remaking. Enormous spiritual sacrifices have been made by the movement in the transformation of Muslims into righteous practitioners of Islam and its persistent efforts are evidently producing “good” Muslims in all corners of the world.]
