Alhamdulillah, by the grace and mercy of Allah SWT, our written history of Tablighi Jamaat is strictly based on authentic sources. Most books were written before the Ikhtilaaf (aka Tablighi Jamaat Split). These books were also written by senior Darul Uloom Ulemas, whose writings are bounded by strict reviews from other Ulemas. They cannot simply write anything without being scrutinized.
