Reform People through Good Morals

Alhamdulillah, Summa Alhamdulillah, Allah (swt) has given me the Tawfiq again to continue the second part of my sermon which I started last Friday.

So, I advise all members of the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam around the world (countries where the Jamaat has been established) and this is also an advice to all Muslims and Ahmadis also in particular, that when you hear about morality, and topics dealing on excellent behaviour, you must not think that all people will have got (or hear about) the message, and will have made their own reform. On the contrary, there are certain moral values ​​that the Jamaat must absolutely protect. And do not stay indifferent when you see a member of the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam do something bad.

There are some people of the Jamaat, who when they talk with other people who do not form part of our Jamaat - especially in my absence - even manage to exceed all limits. They endlessly talk about many things - that are not necessarily based on truth - and this can put the Messenger of Allah in very difficult situations and then these other people come to believe in their words. This is actually a very serious thing and which spreads a bad smell and the smell can spread everywhere, and even manages to come on the Jamaat and the Messenger of Allah without him (this humble self) aware of what these people have spread and then it becomes an uncontrollable rumour that is not based on truth, which gets worse and worse and then pollutes the entire ocean.

Certainly all the prophets have experienced such situations. If you happen to find someone of Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam committing an action that can cause him and his family to be thrown in the fire, therefore if you find this and you do nothing, and you sleep in peace or you show yourself indifferent, then it will mean that there is weakness in your faith (Iman). If it’s like that, then it means that you have not understood the decree of Allah, and why He removed you from the other side (the other Jamaat) and placed you among the first who recognized His Chosen Messenger of this century. 

(Keep in mind) You have not only recognized the Messenger but you form part of the Jamaat of Allah and thus, who is luckier than you who are in the Divine Manifestation? Certainly it will be engraved in the history one day, where our future generations will research about you and you shall be the most honoured before our Creator (Allah) because you recognized His Messenger with whom He has sent a Jamaat and multiple divine manifestations. So it is us whom Allah has honoured with the task to revive the true teachings of Islam that have been violated and trampled under the feet of so-called Mullahs.

Prophet's way of Reformation

So fulfil your Ibaadat with sincerity, with love. And it is only through a true connection to Allah (swt) that you can achieve that. And it is at that moment that you will make the journey towards humanity, like Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh) has done in terms of “Danna Fatadallah” where he approached Allah and he then bent down towards the ground. And in his sympathy for humanity and to keep them away from evils, he dedicated his prayers (doas) and efforts (in this direction) and thus he showed this through his own example.

And it was in this way that slowly there was this great spiritual revolution in Mecca and Medina. It was such a revolution that changed the destiny of the world. It was such a moment that was also tied with an epoch, and that epoch is that of the “Aakhireen”. This is the epoch – today as well as tomorrow also – when the spiritual revolution that Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh) brought has come back to life. And this revolution will certainly take place. No one can change that. But for the unlucky ones who become obstacles in the path of the revolution, those who say with their mouths that they form part of the Jamaat, but in fact spread thorns on this path, then surely, they create hell for themselves and their children. So you must do a good reform, not only from a distance, through advice, but they must be monitored also closely.

Therefore, the Amirs of the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam and members of their Central Committees who are in different countries of the world must make an Urgent Committee to form a Reform Committee, which should be operational at the earliest; and also monitor those houses where good moral qualities and values ​​are absent. And each time make them understand through good advice. Act well towards them; do not address them with arrogance or anger, but act towards them with good manners, with great humility and sympathy, so that the hell of each home/ house can turn into Jannah (Paradise); a Jannah which is obtained by following the example of Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh). So follow the Sunnah of Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh) and come under the shadow of this Jannah and at that moment the shadow of this Jannah shall continue to spread if it is really the Jannah of the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet (pbuh)!

So this is the important message that needs to be put into practice right away without delay. It is in the nature of man that as soon as he hears a message he shows a bubbling enthusiasm but after some time, this enthusiasm for the message cools down. But the moral Jihad is that Jihad which is very important and it represents a natural part of the universal Islamic Jihad. So as much as possible, you need to make efforts to save these types of people. If after you have made all kinds of possible efforts to save them but despite all that they are not saved, or it may be that this rescue is out of your reach, or that your efforts are not bearing fruit, then it may be that this is the decree of Allah which means they shall not be saved. So at this point, these are branches which need to be cut out and discarded (by Allah). It will not be possible to take them together (with you/us) to advance (for the spiritual revolution).

It is preferable that after making efforts to save them – but which proved to be in vain – to cut these dry branches and put them aside and you to continue your journey quickly. But in these procedures, you must first have a lot of patience. For a certain time you should demonstrate a beautiful patience and so it is with duahs and sincerity and love that you continue to advise them. And not with hatred or with bitterness! So, try to reform them, to straighten them. If you do not succeed in straightening them, so at this point it is Allah himself who will throw them out/ put them aside. So it becomes very necessary that the education of these people is made, to explain them also how Allah (swt) loves them and has chosen to put them in His Jamaat with His Chosen Messenger and this is indeed a great Laila-tul-Qadr which they have received in their lives.

The advent of a Messenger of Allah with the Holy Spirit is certainly not an everyday or every month, or every year occurrence during which someone receives this divine favor. Whoever manages to witness this golden age during the lifetime of a prophet of Allah, then he must do everything in his power to accept and obey him. If you reject his message, then it is Allah Himself who shall cast you away from Him. So make an effort to receive this honour to remain in the company of a prophet of Allah. He has come to straighten your moral qualities and to illuminate you with the knowledge of the heavens, Insha-Allah. Ameen. May Allah grant me the Tawfiq, Insha-Allah to continue the third part of this sermon next Friday. Insha-Allah, Ameen.
