what is Dawateislami?


For research on modern-day Problems
'Council for research in jurisprudence' comprising of Ulama and Muftis attached to the Madani environment of Dawat-e-Islami has been established for solving the modern-day problems encountered by the 'Ummah' in the light of the fundamentals which have been narrated by The pious men of Islam .
Rise in fondness for reading books
Alhamdu-Lillah in order to bring the auspicious books of the Ulama of AhleSunnat sect, especially to make the books of AlaHazrat easy and for bringing the unprinted books in the public view, a committee named Al Madina-tul-Ilmiyyah comprising of AhleSunnat Alims attached to the Dawat-e-Islami atmosphere has been established. As the Madani work of Dawat-e-Islami progresses, so is the desire for reading religious books amongst Muslims. There used to be a time when hardly twenty (20) to thirty (30) books written by AhleSunnat Ulama were sold in any religious Ijtima, but now Alhamdu-Lillah these are sold in thousands. Modern book centers are being established. New authors are bringing their writing careers in the public view. Nowadays the prevailing business belief is that once a product takes off in the sales market, less attention is paid towards its standard quality and more towards its sales in numbers and to earn more and more. The same has been witnessed in the matter of books. Books full of excessive printing mistakes also started selling rapidly. To control this anxiety-causing circumstance, a number of Sunni book centers, modern-day authors and compilers affectionately attached with Dawat-e-Islami were called together and intensive counseling was carried out with them. They were told about the deviation spread by the printing of some books and regarding having sins written in their name until that book is read. They were impressed with this. The establishment of an investigative Committee for Books and writings was announced and it (the Committee) was made subordinate to Madina-tul-Ilmiyyah. With the majority of opinion it was agreed that only the Ulema will author books. Before being printed, the books would have to be submitted for scrutiny and then only, after obtaining permission would they go for printing. It was also agreed that unless the confirmation of The Investigative Committee for Books and Writings is not printed on a book, the permission for its sale in a Dawat-e-Islami Ijtima would not be given. (A prohibition on the sale of books authored by deviant writers is in force from before). The books that are printed in Dawat-e-Islami's esteemed institution Maktaba-tul-Madina and moreover the books of pious men of Islam have been excluded from the condition of confirmation. Beside the writings of nobles, the printing of the compositions of other poets too has been stipulated to the investigations of Ulama and Muftis who are experts in poetics. AlaHazrat says, 'The reading and hearing of anything which comprises of the rejection of the Jurisprudence is 'Haraam', for example the narratives and the verses which are against the jurisprudence. Especially those, which are insulting and belittling to the Prophets and Angels. Nowadays this is found abundantly in the ignorant Naat writers, although it is a word of infidelity,' (Fatawa-e-Razawiyyah, V9, P64, Published by Raza Academy, Bombay)
Ameer-e-AhleSunnat  says that only those Ulama who have knowledge of the art of poetry should write Naat. Insulting and blasphemous verses are often found in the poetry of such non-doctorate poets who do not keep in mind the Qur'an and Hadith. Apparently the following verse has been said for these kinds of poets:
Jahannam ko bhar dengay shaair hamare
(Our poets will be the ones to fill up Hell)
Non doctorate poets should get their poetry corrected by the Ulama who are experts in the art of poetry and who have their sight fixed on Qur'an and Hadith and after that, they undoubtedly can bring it in the public view.
