1. Allah's Messenger (sa) said: 'Nothing is left of Nubuwwah except Al-Mubashirat.' They asked, "What are Al-Mubashirat?" He replied, 'The true good dreams (that conveys glad tidings).'
2. Allah's Messenger (sa) said:
"A good dream (that comes true) of a righteous man is one of forty-six
parts of Nubuwwah."
Allah (swt) is Al Jabbaar, the real and only supreme authority in the world, and men should not play God on earth! And when ruling men manifest themselves as tyrants over a land, they create havoc in, and precipitate the destruction of such a social order altogether, as often forewarned by Divine servants in history. The Holy Qur’an preserves several examples of lost nations as an enduring lesson for men in every era.
Indeed, power and authority entail responsibility to office and accountability before God. As the ruler for a period, you have the duty to care for the people; to be just and fair in your dealings; show respect to the dignity and rights of fellow beings, and not to abuse the position to promote wrongdoing in the land, for you shall be held accountable before God on how best you discharged your trust. Yet, in these morally darkened times, when fear of God is virtually absent among powerful politicians, our world is in a permanent state of crisis, almost on the brink of an abyss!
In his Friday Sermon of 15 July 2022 ~15 Dhul Hijjah 1443 AH, Imam- Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam International Hazrat Muhyiuddin Al Khalifatullah Munir A. Azim (aba) of Mauritius reflects on the contemporary political, economic and social developments in Mauritius against the wider global backdrop of abuse of power by ruling elites and their tyrannical handling of fellow humans. A man inspired by Roohul Quddus [Holy Spirit] to share Divine messages on His behalf in our times, Hazrat Khalifatullah (aba) cautions against the dire situation being obtained as a consequence of administrative excesses, and reminds about forthcoming accountability before God. A well-wisher and sincere counsellor of people; Hazrat Saheb (aba) warns about the moment of Divine reckoning that awaits all, encouraging them to shun hubris and excesses so as not to attract Divine anger and punishment for their egregious deeds.

The Story of Abraham/Abram/Ibrahim/ Brahma
Ibrahim, the Patriarch
and Friend of Allah, saw in a vision that he was offering his only son Isma’il
as a sacrifice to the Lord. He said to the boy: “O son of mine, I have seen
in a dream that I was slaughtering you; So, tell me what you think of it.’
The boy replied: “O Father, do as you have been commanded; you will find
me, if Allah please, of those who are steadfast.”
Ibrahim made the
necessary preparations. When all was ready and he was about to proceed to the fulfilment
of what he thought he had been commanded to do, he received the revelation that
he had indeed fulfilled his dream. (As-Swaffat 37: 104-108).
The true meaning of the dream was not that he should sacrifice his son in the manner in which he had seen himself doing in the dream, but that both he and his son should be ready to make a great sacrifice to win the pleasure of God. This great sacrifice was that the boy and his mother should be settled in a distant, barren valley, so that the boy should be made an instrument for the purpose of establishing the true worship of God in and around the Sacred House. (Ibrahim 14: 38).
What is 'Qurbani'?
Hazrat Zaidi bn Arqam (ra) states that the
companions of the Prophet (pbuh) asked him: “What is Qurbani?” He
replied, “It is the Sunnah (tradition) of our father Ibrahim (as).” They
inquired, “What benefit do we derive from it?” The Messenger of Allah
(pbuh) replied: “A reward for every hair of the sacrificed animal.” [And
they asked again], “And what is the reward for the animal whose body is
covered with wool?” He (pbuh) replied, “A reward for every strand of
wool.”
The Aim of the Sacrifice
The immolation of an animal in Islam is not
done to appease the anger of Allah by offering Him a bribe in order to succeed
in any work. Far from all this, Allah does not need anything from us. He is the
Almighty and the One to Whom everything belongs. However, the sacrifice is made
only in the Name of Allah and to please Him.
“Tell them: ‘Verily my prayer, my devotion [sacrificial service], my life, my death, belong to Allah, Lord of the Worlds.” (Al-Anam, 6: 163).
DAWA/ TABLIGH: How To Do This Work
The most important point in this work of Dawa /
Tabligh is the way and method that we will do it. We simply need to follow
exactly the principles adopted by the Sahaba (ra) who followed the teachings
and practices of the noble prophet (pbuh) to the letter.
In this true form and meaning, the Tabligh is a very important action and a very great benefit. Verily, it is to follow truly the path of the prophets (as), because this work is a great work, and it is also based on the high principles that we must always follow carefully. Each individual needs to feel the need to reform himself instead of changing others. While doing this work, and even outside the Jamaat [Community], he should behave like a true Muslim, a sincere servant who at all times obey and follow Allah’s commandments as per the Shariah and he seeks always the blessing and pleasure of Allah (twt). This is the basic condition, the Ruh (soul) and foundation of this work of Tabligh. Once this has been rooted deeply and firmly into the hearts of the workers [of Deen], the other principles, regulations and actions that I will mention further on will become easy to follow:
Alhamdulillah, Summa Alhamdulillah, the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam in India commemorated the occasion of Eid-ul-Adha on 10 Dhul Hijjah 1443 AH~ 10 July 2022 with spiritual fervour, collective prayers, distribution of sacrificial meat and community feasting.

The Muslims enjoy two major celebrations in a year, i.e. the Eid-ul-Fitr and the Eid-ul-Adha. While the Eid-ul-Fitr is the day of rejoicing which the Almighty gives the Muslim believer after a month of fasting for His sake, the Eid-ul-Adha is a time for deep reflection and analysis of one’s own obedience to Allah’s commandments and the teachings and practices of His beloved prophets and role models for mankind.
