Assalamu alaykum When I say a "lay muslim", I mean not a person who has straight from a casino or a liquor sop entered the masjid and declares brothers I want Islah can you please tell me where I get it. who doesn't know what is islah is and why should one get islah. who is busy in getting the wordly targets at the cost of aakhirah. etc................... So for this person, the TJ reaches to them, understands them, brings them, takes care of them. When you try to distract them in name of islah a situation will come when he will go back to where he came from. This is not a theory but it is EXPERIENCED. Secondly other groups will come and brain wash these lay person of a certain period, "brother you have come from negative to zero and them positive, now you have to accelarate, so join our group. When so many people have accelerated in TJ why other means.
