The
Muslim world faces enormous challenges in our present era. Powerful adversaries
have conquered and destroyed the Muslim lands and peoples in Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan,
Libya, etc. Millions of Muslims have become refugees and internally displaced peoples,
in search of right to life and dignity. The bombings and killings and the
hardships of war and crimes have afflicted the Muslim psyche with feelings of
helplessness and agony. The events of the last decade- Ariel Sharon laying
siege on the Al Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem,
Bush-Blair combine unleashing the wars on Iraq and Afghanistan-powerfully
underscored the tragic situation of the Muslim Ummah.
It was
under these circumstances that Allah the Most High directed His Chosen Messenger-
Muhyi-ud Din Hadhrat Munir Ahmad Azim Sahib (atba)- to observe Safar Zikrullah, a spiritual retreat to
devout time for fervent prayers for the destruction of the arch-enemies of
Islam. In his Friday Sermon of January 17, 2014 the Khalifatullah Hadhrat Munir
Ahmad Azim Sahib (atba) of Mauritius briefly mentioned about the event in the
context of the end of Ariel Sharon, the war-criminal politician of Israel, who
died last week after 8 years in coma.
