Hazrat Moulana Muhammad Ilyaas (rahmatullahi ‘alaih) once mentioned:
The purpose of this movement of tableegh is to unite all the Muslims on the deen of Islam. Once the entire Ummah is united upon the deen of Islam, they will be able to sacrifice their desires in order to fulfil the commands of Allah Ta‘ala. Through all the Muslims uniting on Islam and their motivation and drive in all facets of their lives being directed towards deen, it will be easy for each person to fulfil the obligation of ‘Ikraam-e-Muslim’ (fulfilling the rights of each believer). When the Muslims achieve this, they will become an embodiment of the hadeeth:
المسلمون كجسد واحد
The Muslim Ummah is like one body
(Malfoozaat Hazrat Moulana Muhammad Ilyaas (rahmatullahi ‘alaih) pg.114)
