Caliphate is the solution provide by Quran and Sunnah. Or, at least a state under an Ameer-ul-Momineen. Since Islam has been given for practice till Day of Judgement, you can't say "caliphate is not a solution in this complex and unjust environment". Caliphate WILL be back, but it is our job also to do everything in our power to establish the state in the same pattern as Holy Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Aalihi Wasallam. But for that you need a critical mass of Muslims. What recent years have shown (Afghanistan, Syria) is that a Caliphate imposed upon people will simply not work. And many years before that, our Ulema already realized that.
Before Hazrat Maulana Ilyas Rahimahullah started the work of Tableegh, he spent a considerable amount of time in a state of extreme distress and restlessness at the state of the Muslim Ummah. It is reported that at night he would keep awake and his wife questioned this. His reply, 'If only you had the same pain that I have in my heart, there would be two people staying awake'. After pondering the situation of the Muslims at length, the conclusion he reached was that we are as a large group missing a very critical teaching of Quran and Sunnah: Amr bil Ma'aroof wa Nahi 'Anil Munkar.
The Tableeghi work is an attempt to rekindle the observance of this huge Command of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'aala. If you read 'Fazail-e-Tableegh' you will find many verses and ahadith that show how we will become backward if we leave this. But since we are ourselves extremely weak, instead of teaching people to go out and start commanding others to do something and stop from something, the work is oriented towards commanding one's ownself to do good and stopping one's own self from evil through immersing oneself in an environment where it is easy to do this. And give verbal invitations to others towards this auspicious work, discuss them softly, gently, and at the same time seek help from Allah the Almighty.
And the basic fuel that powers the engines of good deeds and the shields from bad deed is Iman. The key observation is that something becomes established in the heart if you keep looking at it, keep hearing about it, keep talking about it, and keep thinking about it. And so in the work of Tableegh you are provided an environment where Iman is discussed. You see, hear, speak, and think about Allah and His Greatness.
Once Iman gets strong, all other religious matters are easy to achieve.
Tableeghis because of human weaknesses and limitations may have many problems as humans. But you can't say that the theory and the actual practice of Tableegh is flawed.
its better we ask individuals to b a good muslims rather than waiting for a caliph...
