==Introduction== Ijtema is the annual three-day congregation of Tablighi Jamaat (TJ). It has a strong appeal to South Asian Muslims and its diaspora. The immediate concern of TJ is the moral reform of individuals and purification of the self, often described, as ‘making Muslims true Muslims’: Muslims should go back to the basic principles of their faith to follow strictly the commandments of Islam in their personal lives and in their dealings with others. On the other side, this is a faith renewal movement. TJ gets the attention of the wider world through its annual three-day congregational gathering that is Ijtema, with millions of people. Ijtema has become a symbol of the TJ movement.
