The Signs of Holy Prophet (sa)

 

Alhamdulillah, Summa Alhamdulillah, the month of Rabi’ul Awwal marks the month in which our beloved prophet Muhammad (pbuh) blessed this world with his physical and spiritual presence, such presence which would convert the world to the Religion of Allah. Alhamdulillah.

Books of Islamic history record many events which happened prior to, during and after the birth of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). Visions were seen and miracles happened, not only in Pre-Islamic Arabia but also around the world. Today, for our Sirat-un-Nabi Programme, I would like to present you a few of these signs and miracles.

Celebrating 'Sirat-un-Nabi'

 

Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa (sa), the holy founder of Islam and the greatest Prophet of all times,  left behind enduring teachings for the benefit of humankind for all times.  The Qur’an, and the sacred Prophetic Sunnah remain amongst us, to guide us from the darkness of selfish pleasures to the illumination of souls in remembrance of God. It is by striving to follow in the footsteps of the holy Prophet (sa) that true believers can lead a life that attracts the approval and pleasure of Allah (swt); a  balanced life that recognizes our duties to Allah (swt) and the responsibilities we owe to fellow human beings in society, pursuing goodness in this world and the world to come, Insha Allah.  

The Holy Prophet (sa) had penetrating insights into the future conditions of the world, especially of the events that will unfold among his people, the Muslims of the Later Days. A close reading of sacred Ahadith would leave no one in doubt about the fulfilment of those Prophetic words in the stark realities being obtained in our own times-in many different ways. While warning the Ummah about the times in which knowledge of Deen will be taken away from the society of the Muslims, it was also reassured that to renew the spiritual path of Islam, true heirs of the Holy Prophet (sa) would be raised by Allah (twt) Himself. Among the believers, it was foretold, there would be one or more savants of Faith- the pole stars of the Faith in morally-darkened times, and that these individuals and their followers would seek to revive and renew the values of Islam and Prophetic Aqidah in turbulent times.

The Day of 'Qiyamah'

 

The Signs of the End of Times- 4

اِنَّ السَّاعَۃَ لَاٰتِیَۃٌ لَّا رَیۡبَ فِیۡہَا وَ لٰکِنَّ 

اَکۡثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا یُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ

The Hour is certainly coming, there is no doubt about it. But most people do not believe. (Al-Mumin, 40: 60). 

Allah (twt) makes us understand that the Qiyamah [the Last Day / The Day of Judgement/ The End of the World] will certainly come, without a doubt, but many people do not believe it. Allah (twt) has fixed a special day to reward His believers for their good deeds and also to punish them for their evil deeds, and for His good servants, He will grant them the blessings of Paradise, while for those who have sinned, their retribution will be hell. This special day is called Qiyamah. 

Safeedah Varsallee (1931-2021)

“Every soul is certain to taste death: We test you all through the bad and the good, and to Us you will all return”- (21: 36). 

Earlier this week, explaining Divine revelations that were vouchsafed to him on human mortality and our journey to Allah from this world, Imam- Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam Hazrat Khalifatullah Al Muslemeen Munir A. Azim (aba) of Mauritius noted in a special message to the Jamaat : 

'Allah (twt) has not granted life on this planet, on this earth without death to any human...no human being is immune from decay or death- not even the Holy Prophet (sa). Eternity and everlastingness are of God's own exclusive attributes....

(In death), the soul does not die but when it separates from the body, at the death of the body, the soul gets a taste of death in our life of probation on this earth...Our virtue and Faith are tested by many things. Some are tested by calamities and some by the good things of this life. If we prove our truth, we pass our probation with success. In any case, all must return to Allah (twt) and then will our life be apprised at its true value.'

Sayyidat-un-Nisa Hazrat Ummul Mu’mineen Fazli Amena’s beloved mother, Mrs. Safeedah Varsallee, passed away,  at the age of 90 years, on Monday, 18 October 2021. Inna Lillahi Wa Innaaa Ilayhi Raajiunn. Surely to Allah we belong and to him shall we return. 

Divinely- Inspired Poems

 

On 15 October 2021; around 5.35 pm, Imam- Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam Hazrat Khalifatullah Munir Ahmad Azim (aba) of Mauritius, while being in a state of Zikr and Duah, was inspired by the Angels of God, to scribble down spiritually-infused poems and other noble messages. Being a recipient of Divine inspirations, Hazrat Saheb (aba) underwent much heaviness and pain in transmitting those exquisite poems in Urdu, and messages in English. Alhamdulillah, Allah (swt) bestowed upon him poems of practical wisdom and advice for the benefit of humanity, Summa Alhamdulillah.

Extracted below are some of the Poems in the series- those in English. 

Pain for Pleasure

If past pain is pleasure,

And past pleasure is pain

Let's show the crop for tomorrow

Let future gather and gain.

The Signs of the End Times

You will all find, my brothers, sisters and children in Islam, as well as all my disciples of Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam and all mankind around the world, that by His grace, Allah (twt) has guided me in order to do a series of Friday Sermons on (the theme of) 'The Signs of the End of Times [the End of the World/ The Hour]'. It is under divine instruction that I address this subject in my Friday sermons, and today is part three of this sermon on 'The Signs of the End of Times [the End of the World/ The Hour]'. Allah (twt) alone really knows how many Friday Sermons will be focused - after guiding me under His instruction - on the subject. Insha-Allah. 

Before I begin, I would like to share with you some revelations that Allah revealed to me just before the Jummah [Friday prayer] today 08 October 2021 [at 12.15pm]: 

Wa anakh-tartuka fasta-milimaa yuuhaa.

I have chosen you, so listen to what is revealed. 

Innas Saa-ata aatiyatun akaadu ukhfiihaa li-tujzaa kullu nafsim-bimaa tas-’aa.

The Hour is sure to come. My Will is to keep it hidden, so that every soul may be rewarded according to their efforts. 

Falaa yasuddannaka an-haa mallaa yuminu bihaa wattaba’a hawaahu fatardaa.

So do not let those who disbelieve in it and follow their desires distract you from it, or you will be doomed. 

Li-nuriyaka min Aayaati-nal kubraa.

We do this to show you some of Our greatest signs. 

Allah (twt) also revealed to me [while I was preparing this sermon]: « Ya Khalifatullah Qoul inni lakum Naziirum-Mubiin. » [O Khalifatullah! Say: I have come [to you] to give you a clear warning].

The Signs of 'Saa' at'- 2

In the changing contexts of humankind's material circumstances in every era, Divine messages of perennial wisdom and related prophecies find their fulfillment in different ways- especially in times when Allah (swt) raises a recipient of His revelations along with servants of Faith to fight against all manifestations of Evil and thereby uphold the true values of life.  In his Friday Sermon of 01 October 2021~23 Safar 1443 AH, Imam- Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam Hazrat Khalifatullah Munir A. Azim (aba) of Mauritius continues the theme of previous week- elucidating on 'End Times' mentioned in sacred books of God: the Holy Qur'an, and the Ahadith, the Prophetic traditions. Drawing attention to the multiple layers of meanings attached to  the Divine messages and prophecies, Hazrat Khalifatullah (aba) lays down important considerations and principles that need to be appreciated in any engagement with the profound subject, and also cautions the Wise against the serious consequences of errors of interpretation. Speaking with the help of Rooh-il-Quddus, the living servant and Elect of God invites everyone to ponder over the larger Signs of our times: the devastating pandemics, and the many other types of turbulence and convulsions that grip and threaten to ravage the fortunes and lives of millions of people around the world.

The Signs of the End of Times

Allah says in the Holy Quran: “Say: None in the heavens or on earth, except Allah, knows what is hidden: nor can they perceive when they shall be raised up (for Judgement).” [Al-Naml, (27: 66) ] 

And Allah (swt) also says: “He (alone) knows the Unseen, and He does not make anyone acquainted with His Mysteries, except a messenger whom He has chosen.” [Al-Jinn, (72: 27-28) ].
