Look here, tablighi jamaat is a foreign Islamic movement with its origins in South Asia. The Eritrean Muslim people have been Muslims before the people of the city of Madeena even, you suggesting that they need to be told now to ''believe in Allah'' is such a slap in the face, they do not need to be told that, because like I said Islam reached there before most parts of the Arabian peninsula!

This is such flawed logic that I don't even know where to begin. So I guess Islam was pointless as the Christians already knew about Allah? Jews already knew about Allah so what was the point of Islam?

It is all about reminders.

Eritrean Muslim people have enough scholars of their own who do such a great job. They are from them, speak the same language, have the same culture, the same history etc. They are the best for their people. An honourable scholar appreciates being reminded of a sunnah - even if he may know about it. An honourable scholar appreciates talks and reminders on the basics of deen as they reinvigorate the imaan - even something as simple yet profound as an explanation of laa ilaaha illa Allah.

Also, the jamaat involves laypeople. Do you see scholars going from door to door, reminding Muslims who haven't been to the mosque since Friday or since last Eid or since a few years? A saathi in jamaat is working mostly on himself but helping others in the process. You've been on this forum for so many years and you don't even know the basics of Tableeghi Jamaat?
