Allah make it easy. Dear brother, are you talking about something that happened on the forum or something that happened offline? Are the people who used these words on the forum? If not they will not be able to explain it. Ilm Tasawwuf Tabligh Frontier Work They all have to happen. If one can, he should do all this. If he cant he should do as many as he can. If he still cant he should get involved in at least one and then Support the other efforts as much as he can. The Ultimate Objective of all efforts is what? Pleasure of Allah. There are many ways to get this. I have heard that the ways to Allah Ta'ala and gain His Pleasure are as many as the breaths of human beings. Some Mashaikh say that a persons breaths/ day are 24, 000. Then imagine how many breaths of all mankind combined. The Rahmat of Allah Ta'ala and His Qabooliyat (acceptance) is not limited to any effort. It is not even limited to the 4 efforts mentioned above. The notion of people getting spoiled by going in Jamat may have been spoken by someone who does not understand the effort. Allah give us all understanding. I just met a brother who spent 40 days in Jamat and got out of drinking alcohol. Alhamdulillah I have seen Sufis bashing Tablighis I have seen Tablighis bashing Sufis I have seen Ahle Ilm bashing Tablighis I have seen Tablighis bashing Ahle Ilm I have seen Alhe Ilm bashing Sufis and more It is never ending. There are people who think only ordinary people should do Tabligh. Which is wrong, everyone should do it if they can. There are people who think Tabligh is enough and you need not learn Ilm or Zikr. You get all kinds of people brother
