You have hit the nail . This thread has touched my heart. So , I want to add some info from my own experience.
I think, the victims of this belittling attitude towards Mawlana has affected greatly the activists of Tabligh Jamat. I mean, I have seen a family where the father is a high ranking govt official in my native country. He became religious and sent his sons to madarasah. They became Hafiz and Mawlanas in due time. But now what they are doing ? One son is doing full time taxi driving in the UK . But, in Ramadan he acts as an Hafiz . Another son is now working in a pizza shop in the UK.However, at least , one son is working as an Imam at a mosque near London.

And look at the cousins of these mawlanas -- all went for secular education. And earning good salaries . But, now this TJ family needs to hide the job status of their sons from the rest of the extended families !!!

This is just only one example. You can see many examples of TJ brothers who were doctors , engineers and university teachers. These brothers sacrificed a lot
to revive the Deen and expected their sons to do the same. But, the ugly reality has crashed their dream (or utopia ! ). How can you expect a doctor TJ guy to tell his relatives that his madrasah-graduated son is working in a pizza shop !!!

This is UK. My husband is an engineer and believe me, his bring home money is far less than a taxi driver ( don't look at per anum before tax and NI). Don't belittle taxi driver job. Plus it's easy for them to go for jamaah prayer in the masjeed. What a plenty reward for them in hereafter than people who stuck at the office and operation room and cannot attend 5 times jamaah prayer in the masjeed.
