What is 3 Day(Seh Rozza), 40 Day(Chilla), 4 Month(CHar Mah)

Dawah o Tabligh is a duty of this Ummah for which reason we are a selected nation.

1.Some brothers and some so called scholars raise a question that from where this 3 days ,40 days,4 months have come.

2. Some go further that restricting the work of Dawah for certain days in a month is non sense.

3. Some say that it is a Bidah.

Letus discuss the issue in the light of truth.

1. This 3 day and 40 day is just a system and a (Tarteeb) for management purpose like any other system.
It is not anyway compulsory and rather it is routine that because of our other engagements most of the jamaat does not spend full 3 days.
At some places even it is permanent (like some campuses where there is 5 day week) that Jamaat goes for 2 days only, at some institutions specially in Islamic Madarsas it goes from Thursday Asar to Friday Magrib only.

At Aligarh Muslim University, the system is as follows : Jamaat goes on friday after juma they return on Saturday morning for attending classes and again go after classes till Sunday evening/ Monday morning.
(As for 40 days) again it is not mandatory I have gone in jamaat for 10 days, 13 days, there is nothing fixed, Sometimes brothers go in jamaat after giving competitive exam as they are waiting for results they come back after declaration of results for taking admission or attending classes, may be at 6,8,24,31…………………………. or whatsoever number of days. Work has an open door for all 24 hours 365 days. Anyone can check these facts.
     
As all of us has family and Job commitments so if you are going preplanned it becomes comfortable as you can apply for your leave for certain number of days ,Your family will remain informed that you are returning on a particular date. Likewise so many system benefits are ther.

On the other hand I know brothers who give more than three days a month may be 6, 8 or 10 days in a month. Similarly more than 40 days in a year may be 2 months 3 months 4 months in a year. Allah has said in quran that I have bought the Jan and Mall in exchange of Jannat)
Say for example .. a group of say 5 brothers were sent to Calcutta from Delhi and nothing is fixed, and one brother said he has come for 3 days, two for 6 days, one for 20 days and another 40 days.

It would be rather problematic. Actually if you sent them anywhere it would be problematic.

This is the reason that a fixed time is specified so that it is easier to organise a jamaat so that they will be together all the time,

However there is no restriction on going for 1 day / 2 days / 4 days / 1 month etc make the responsible brothers aware the time that you intend to go for so it's easier to send them in an appropriate jamaat.
     
As for gusht (A Persian word) it is simply an individual mulaqat/meeting for muzakra on basis (wazakkir fainnazzikra…………………………) that they do two times in a week at evening time
               
For any system to run properly,for organizational set up some period has to be fixed like in our madarsa system they have fixed 6 yrs ,7yrs or 10 yrs and a syllabus for becoming an Alim..Is there any ayah from Quran or sahih hadith or from salf that an alim certificate needs this much period and this syllabus?

Is it a Bidah ? No, it is not a Bidah. It is simply a system developed by experts of the field.

Teaching Ilm through specified syllabus and class divisions in years and months, certificates and titles, all these things did not exist at time of Rasaulullah (s.a.w) in Da'wa and Taleem. But these are not bidah.

2.Those who are telling that it is nonsense to restrict Dawah to 3 days or 40 days are either
  
   1.Not knowing at all the work of Tabligh or
    2.Simply making a lie for the mere benefit of this world,may be for their group mentality

Even if who will go for once in a jamaat he will come to know that Tabligh work has two facets 1.Going in the path of Allah and doing the Amaal e Dawat  2. Doing Amaal e dawat while being at home (MUQAMI KAM) which include,Daily meeting with brothers in Islam,Daily Mashwara that is an important sunnah,Daily Taleem of virtues of Amaal, Weekly meeting and talk about IMAAN and Akhrat one in own mosque and one in the neighborhood locality (Named as Gusht). So those who are telling about restricting Dawah for 3, 40 their allegation is simply a nonsense lie. Tableegh work is all over the world and for 24*7 and 365 days.Just go there and confirm the things before posting/making Video talks/book/forum writing.
YouTube is obviously free but Allah will not let you free certainly will ask about your false allagations and action specially who are spreading it.In the eyes of Allah all are his slaves even those who are considered as scholars and sheikhs. They should also be careful.

As a muslim, it is obligatory to confirm the things before believing and more importantly spreading it to others. There are clear and emphatic Quranic Ayats and Sahih Ahadith in this regard.

ALLAH pak says in surah ASRA

And do not follow a thing about which you have no knowledge. Surely, the ear, the eye and the heart - each one of them shall be interrogated about. [17:36]

Very clear Hadith is there in Saheeh Muslim

The prohibition of speaking about everything that one hears.Matan of Hadeeth starts with

“KAFA BILAMRE KAZIBAN……………………………(MUSLIM SHAREEF)

(Translation ) “The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: ‘It is sufficient lying for a man to speak of everything that he hears.’”

(As translated in Riyazussaliheen translation)
