Answer :
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh We have reviewed the mentioned book and have concluded that the compiler has misunderstood the creed of the Deobandis and the Tablig-Jamat. His writings are based on assumptions and it is not advisable for the layman to read the mentioned book due to the concocted way the author has written. The ample good that has stemmed from the Deobandis and the Tablig-Jamat stands out universal. Thus, being the greatest testimony of their correctness. It is recommended that one consult a trustworthy Alim as to which books are suitable for reading and refrain from reading the books of non scholarly personalities whose personage and nature is unknown.
