OBEDIENCE TO ALLAH AND TO HIS MESSAGE
Hazrat Muhyi-ud-Din Al- Khalifatullah Munir Ahmad Azim Saheb (atba) opened his Friday Sermon
stressing on Obedience to Allah and His Khalifatullah, for therein is true
salvation for a true believer. A true believer never seeks to hurt the feelings
of the Messenger of Allah, Khalifatullah. The one who truly loves Allah and His
Khalifatullah will always show obedience to Allah and His Khalifatullah.
During the course of his explanations which Huzur
(atba) explained to be divinely inspired – for he relates that ever since the
beginning of the Divine Manifestation, before doing any Jummah Khutba (or discourse) he seeks divine succour and guidance
on which topic/ subject to bring before the Jamaat and the world at large – and
Alhamdulillah, he also received on the
spot (11 December 2015) the following
revelation (in English): “These are the words
coming from Allah. These are not the words of Munir Ahmad Azim.”
Shun Arrogance and Cheap victories
He reiterated the need for each member of the Jamaat
Ul Sahih Al Islam, National and International to ever remain firm in his or her
belief and to always project the authentic facets of Islam, and forego all
kinds of arrogance and attachment to minor/trivial things which can thus become
major impediments in our faith. Arrogance can exterminate one’s faith, and an
arrogant person can become like those who left the Divine Manifestation and
sought to create problems for Allah and His Messenger and Jamaat. Huzur (atba)
said that there is no difference between someone who left the Divine Manifestation
and the one who does not pay obeisance to Allah and His Khalifatullah and
manifest his or her nafs (ego,
passion). Allah does not love the arrogant.
He made the congregation ponder over the situation of
those who left the Divine Manifestation, who noted down the divine revelations,
where are they today? Or even on those who at the very beginning of the Divine
Manifestation itself rejected Allah’s revelations and signs! Now, with the
celebrations of the centenary Jubilee of Ahmadiyyat establishment in Mauritius,
how hurt they felt when their own Khalifa (elected by man) did not attend this
function! Mauritians from all over the world came back to their country in the
hope of having that grand celebration with their Khalifa, but all in vain!
Allah has showed that there is no Khalifa except His very own Khalifatullah,
His Chosen Khalifa who could have celebrated that particular centenary Jubilee.
All the programmes done were through the helping hand of Allah. Are you still
blind? Are you not still recognising that sign? Are you still manifesting your nafs (passion)? Are you still disputing over
petty things? Are you trying to put the Messenger of Allah and the Jamaat of
Allah in a fix? In the times of the Holy Prophet of Islam (pbuh), the latter
stressed on unity, for it is united that we can progress – not divided and
having petty arguments!
