Tablighi Jamaat is a non-political global Sunni Islamic missionary organisation with its roots in India.The movement was started in 1927 by Muhammad Ilyas al-Kandhlawi. The term gained spot light amid coronavirus outbreak because 100 people who either attended or were close contacts of those who attended a 10 March event the Jamaat organised at the Alami Markaz Banglewali Masjid in Delhi's Nizamuddin area have tested positive for the virus.
