For common Jamaat members like this humble writer, it was a day of gratefulness and thanksgiving to Allah (swt). As Muslims who follow the timeless teachings of the Holy Qur’an, and the deep insights of the Holy Prophet’s sacred practice as the correct and straight path- the religion of Allah; we recognize that the raising of an Elect of God among the people is an enduring Divine practice, a Sunnat Allah, in every era. Allah (swt) granted us a practical role model and exemplar of the spiritual Way, especially in an era and at a time when most people grope in the darkness of ignorance, misbeliefs and superstitions, doubts, and despair. Hence, the raising of a Mujaddid in our troubled times is an example of pure Divine grace and mercy in our perspective. And He granted us an extraordinary blessing by enabling us to recognize His chosen manifestation in our midst, Alhamdulillah, Summa Alhamdulillah.
Bai’at with the Khalifatullah
‘Arise
and Create a New World’
Our
commitment to prioritize ‘Faith above the World’ and to the reconstruction of a
New World Order in place of the broken world order entails constant striving,
and that we face the tests and trials of life that will inevitably come in this
mighty striving, with humility and courage, wisdom and prudence, patience and
steadfastness, spiritual hope and absolute trust in God, Insha Allah. If we go
by the Qur’anic theory of rise and fall of nations, we see that the moral
fibre, the spirit of fairness and just dealings shape the destiny of peoples.
May we always enjoin good, and forbid evil, be it in our own midst or in the
wider society. May we able to speak truth to power and stand up for justice,
fairness and compassion for all of God’s creations in the human environment.
Like
our beloved Imam (aba) frequently reminds us, saying and doing are two
different things. As believers, it is vital for us to keep track of our duties
and responsibilities at every level, individually, in our relations with
spouses and children in the family, in the community, in the society, in the
expanding circles of human relations, etc. May we always remember the
conditions of Bai’at we have agreed
to uphold on the day we joined the Sheikh-ul-Islam, the Muhyiuddin through the
promise of a relationship like no other in this world. May we strive tirelessly
and steadfastly in our spiritual life and may our good deeds speak for us, and
may Allah (swt) forgive and overlook our misdeeds and wrongdoings, Insha Allah, Aameen, Summa Aameen Ya Rabb'il
Aalameen.

Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Rahim
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakaatuh.
We are indeed blessed
to be reunited today, the members of the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam of India and the Headquarters of the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam International here in
Mauritius to celebrate a great milestone of the present Divine Manifestation.
At a dire time when the world needed guidance and the divine light to break through the darkness of evil and corruption, Allah sent His special envoy, His Khalifatullah, a Messenger from Him for the reform of the world, to bring us all back to the dogma of the unity of Allah.
When we look back at the origin of Islam – at
the time of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw), we see with our inner eye the
struggle of a man of humble means, known to be analphabetic – neither knowing
how to read and write – and Allah used him as His mediator to the world and
decreed him as His most perfect law-bearing prophet, the one to have come with
the most important revelations and divine laws of all times, i.e. the Holy
Quran.
And the message he brought was very clear: Worship One God. The Real God.
And it was with this aim of propagating this Divine Unity– which he successfully did through the Will of Allah – that he spent 23 years of his life in doing so. Like for all prophets, his life took a new turn when in deep meditation in the Cave of Hira, he was blessed with the Holy Spirit who came through the Will of Allah to give him his first revelation, the first word of which was: “Iqra” – Read!
An angel was asking a man not knowing to read and write to read. His only option was to recite behind that great Angel, Hazrat Jibreel (as). How fortunate that humble man, meek of heart was when Allah chose him as His Messenger and poured down Divine Revelations on him.
I know that most Muslim believers would have
witnessed to live during such times and to witness with their own eyes those
signs, revelations and miracles upon Hazrat Muhammad (saw)! But lots of Muslims
don’t realise that were this to be fulfilled, would they have behaved like the
evil Quraishs or the Blessed First Believers. Nobody knows except Allah! To
each people on earth till this day, Allah has reserved some trials as well as
rewards so that He may test their mettle and see who are those people who are
truly sincere in their faith, and will remain sincere up till their last breath
on earth!
Today, with the rise of the Divine
Manifestation with the advent of a Khalifatullah, Munir Ahmad Azim (atba),
Allah is giving each one of us in this blessed era the golden opportunity to
strive to Him and to accede to His proximity.
How
painful are the trials, but how
sweet also are the rewards!
As the International Sadr Saheba and Ummul
Mu'mineen of this era, it is really an honour for me to be among the first of believers. Though weak as I am, Allah has accepted my sacrifices for His sake. Allah-u-Akbar!
I would like to share with you a dream which I saw a long time back on the subject of sacrifice for Allah. It was in and around the days of an Eid-ul-Adha, and at that time, I wanted to participate in Qurbani. I saw in a dream talking with Allah. I was all dressed in white and there were a lot of youths all in white as well, and I was telling Allah that no animal has been found for the sacrifice, but take me, O Allah as the sacrificial animal. Accept my sacrifice. - And I saw myself putting my neck on the cutting board to have myself physically sacrificed. Then I saw that all the youths came in line to have the tip of their fingers cut off.
Today, it is a selfless
sacrifice that is required from each one of us, especially the youths.
Don’t forget that
the Imam and Messenger of this era has
preached about the Spirit of Sacrifice
– the sacrifice of your time, wealth, children and own persons.
During the golden years of Islam, the sincere Sahaba – men and women – proved with their deeds their sincerity. They showed that they cared for the Divine Cause. They were ever ready to protect Islam and the Prophet (saw) and to make history through their servitude in the Path of Allah. There was no difference between the rich and the poor. All were believers of same faith.
Today, you, my spiritual children are all so
fortunate to witness a New Divine Manifestation, with the advent of a new
Messenger, even though he is not a law-bearing Messenger and Prophet. Today,
Islam has got its saviour who prays day and night for all of you, all of us. Be
therefore ready to sacrifice your time for Islam, for Allah.
From his 40th year to his 63rd
year as a Prophet of Allah, Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh) gave us so many guidelines
on how to live our Islam, on how to truly submit to Allah. After him, the
Promised Messiah Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) and he and his followers also
sacrificed a lot for the Cause of Deen-e-Islam. In that spirit of sacrifices,
we do not forget the Mujaddid (Reformers) who came for the reform of Islam
prior to the coming of the Promised Messiah, and after him as well. The
Promised Messiah is not an end in himself. He was one of the chosen ones and
other chosen ones have and will come for the reform of Islam. Insha-Allah.
Today, the Khalifatullah is amidst us all. It
is the time of sacrifice, not to please humans like ourselves, but only to
please Allah. Only Allah has the power to bring our sacrifices to the pinnacle
(height) of His pleasure.
After 23 years of Divine Manifestations and
Signs, it is the time to translate these messages into practice and to be
really the representation of truth and sincerity for the sake of Allah.
The Khalifatullah (atba) has today reached his 63 years of existence on this temporary world, but we are gathered here not to celebrate a birthday, but rather a Thanksgivings Day to Allah for the exceptional Favour He bestowed us with when He chose us to be among the first of those in this era to have believed in His Chosen Messenger and Caliph, Hazrat Munir Ahmad Azim (atba). May Allah always bless him, and us all along with him to continue to selfless works for the Cause of Allah, in all humility and sincerity, Insha-Allah, Ameen.
Dream made on the night of Wednesday, 25 October 2023:
I met
an old man, 70+. He had a son around 3/5 years who was very sick and incurable.
He could not deal with him anymore. So he told me to cut his throat and let him
die. I refused of course. But he was forcing me to do it. So I put the child on
the table and took a sharp knife to slaughter him. But I couldn't do it when I
saw the child's innocent face. Tears were rolling down my cheeks n heartbroken.
I told the man that I didn't want to kill him. Allah has given him life so let
Allah by Himself to give him death. So why do you want to take out his life. This
is a murder, not a mercy killing. Let him live. May be he will be of great help
to you one day. Finally, I didn't do that action and I started reciting the Takbir:
Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar,
Allahu Akbar
Allah is Greatest, Allah is Greatest, Allah is
Greatest;
Laa Ilaaha Illallahu Wallahu
Akbar
There is no god but Allah, Allah is Greatest;
Allahu Akbar Wa Lillaahil Hamd
Allah is Greatest and to Him belong all praise.
Then I could see the event of Hazrat Ibrahim
slaughtering his son Ismael. How painful is it to slaughter one’s own son!
Thank you for your attention. I pray that each
one of you nourishes his or her faith everyday by keeping true to Allah and to
Islam by recognising also the great favour which Allah has made for each one of
you whereby He has enabled you to see, to witness the advent of one of His
Messengers among you. Alhamdulillah.
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakaatuh.
