Islam envisions a world
order of peace and brotherhood, celebration of linguistic, racial and cultural diversity,
human equality and international solidarity, empathy and care for the less
privileged. Yet today, Muslim Ummah everywhere seems to be under a siege from
within and outside: economic upheaval, social turmoil, a loss of values, political
unrest and even war among the brothers in many societies. The class of Mullahs
have discredited their leadership with theologies
of terror, obscurantism and formulaic rigidism, bereft of empathy and
understanding for the complex circumstances of the Muslim peoples struggling to
adjust with the ebb and flow of life. In his Friday Sermon of 27 September 2013, Khalifatullah Hadhrat Munir Ahmad Azim (atba) of Mauritius
profoundly underscored the need for serious reflection on the part of the
Muslim Ummah in an age of multiple crises and Satanic trials afflicting the entire
Ummah.
It is for the Muslim Ummah to introspect on
what goes wrong with their spiritual and material self. The promise of
Divinely-inspired Khilafat in the form of the arrival of the Khalifatullah with
the Holy Spirit has been astonishingly fulfilled in this age in the personhood
of Hadhrat Munir Ahmad Azim Sahib (atba) of Mauritius. Yet the world of Islam
is yet to awaken to this awe-inspiring spiritual development in our times. In
the age of a Divine Messenger, trials and rewards await the believers; just as
the Satanic impulses of the age will induce the people to deviate from their
noble selves. To defeat the army of Satan, the believers have to wage a war at
all levels of consciousness and follow the true guidance which is the guidance
of Allah (twa) being made available through His Khalifa.While the Satanic
forces of the age may rejoice at the apparent dangers to the faith of Islam,
Allah (twa) raises His own small army to register and record a model of Living
Islam for all sincere, truth-seekers and Divine –worshippers.
