But I am astonished that the "TABLIGH-I-Jamaat" of India is termed as heretic instituition & MAWLANA ASRAF ALI THANAWI, the writer of the "Heavanly Ornament" is also noted as Bedd`ti (heresy) while most of the Indian sub-continent Sunni accept the "Jamaat" and considered it Mujaddid wa munawwir alf-i-thani as the true Islamic reformer respectively.
