On the Day of Judgement

 

Our moment of truth, our moment of reckoning is coming. Indeed, with every minute that is receding by, we are approaching the Day of Judgement. The Holy Qur’an calls this Day as the “Undeniable Reality” [Al Haqqah]. Like the Holy Qur’an states elsewhere, ‘Closer and closer it comes to you. Closer and closer still. Does man think he will be left alone? Was he not just a drop of spilt-out sperm, which became a clinging form, which God shaped in due proportion, fashioning from it the two sexes, male and female? Does He who can do this not have the power to bring the dead back to life?’ [75: 35-41].

 

On that Day, we will be presented at the infallible court of Allah (twt), ‘Master of the Day of Judgement’. On the hour of reckoning, the most comprehensive Book of Records will be unveiled; it is for us, each individual in her own merit, to face our beliefs, words, intentions and deeds- actions in complete detail- and to account for them in all fairness and justice. Our souls as well as our limbs will testify- for or against us. As the Holy Qur’an indicates:

 

‘When the Trumpet is sounded a single time, when the earth and its mountains are raised high and then crushed with a single blow, on that Day the Great Event will come to pass. The sky will be torn apart on that Day, it will be so frail. The angels will be on all sides of it and, on that Day, eight of them will bear the throne of your Lord above them. On that Day you will be brought to judgement and none of your secrets will remain hidden.’ (69: 14-19)

 

‘We have bound each human being’s destiny to his neck. On the Day of Resurrection, We shall bring out a record for each of them, which they will find spread wide open, ‘Read your record. Today your own soul is enough to calculate your account.’ (17:14-15).

 

‘On that Day, man will be told about all his commissions and omissions. Truly, man is a clear witness against himself, despite all the excuses he may put forward.’ (75: 13-16)

'Duah': Prayer of Light

 

Oh Allah!

Place light in my heart

And light in my tongue

And light in my hearing

And light in my seeing

And light from above me

And light from below me

And light on my right

And light on my left

And light ahead of me

And light behind me

 Place light in my soul

Magnify for me light

And amplify for me light

Make for me light

And make me light

'Zilzaal': When the Earth Shakes

In his Friday Sermon of 24 February 2023~ 03 Shabaan 1444 AH, Imam-Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam International Hazrat Muhyiuddin Al Khalifatullah Munir Ahmad Azim (aba) of Mauritius recited ‘Surah Az-Zilzaal’, the 99th Chapter of the Holy Qur’an. Speaking against the backdrop of the recent earthquake in Turkey and Syria with its profound impact upon the people’s lives in those nations, and also of the Cyclone Freddy-induced damages and other tragic accidents in Mauritius; Hazrat Khalifatullah (aba) calls attention to the larger spiritual wisdom underlying the violent shakings of our small world.

In the secular world, the sudden emergence of unknown facts and subtle realities through the occurrence of remarkable events such as new scientific discoveries and striking changes in existing ways brought about by technological advancement, or radical political upheavals shaking up existing social order, can potentially transform the entire outlook of peoples and nations. In the Divine scheme of things, the Hereafter and Day of Judgement is a hidden reality waiting to unfold in the fullness of time. On that Day, men and women who are judged good will have their rewards, just as people who are judged the promoters of evil and carriers of sin shall meet their requital. Hence, to receive Divine Mercy on the Day of Reckoning, we ought to stay away from all types of evil and we should not even neglect small sins as it might get accumulated. Moreover, we should promote every type of common kindness, and do good deeds of every kind- ‘even if by giving half a date in charity, and even if by saying a single word of good’ as a famous Ahadith exhorts all believers. Expressing solidarity with the victims of the devastating earthquake in Turkey and Syria, and also extending condolence to the people affected by the recent tragic accidents involving Hindu pilgrims in the streets of Mauritius; Hazrat Khalifatullah (aba) calls attention to the need to learn from our negative experiences; exhorting everyone to return to the true values of religion- refraining from all types of pomp and show, promoting amity and tolerance among all faiths, peace and wise conduct in social and national life. 

Read the Friday Sermon Below: 

'In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. When the earth is shaken to her (utmost) convulsion, and the earth throws up her burdens; when man says, what is the matter with her? On that day she will relate her news, for your Lord will have commanded her. That day mankind will issue forth in scattered groups to be shown their deeds. Then whoso does an atom’s weight of good will see it; and whoso does an atom’s weight of evil will also see it.' [Surah Az-Zilzaal, 99: 1-9 ]

‘Musa’, ‘Harun’ and ‘Balaam’ Today

Imam- Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam International Hazrat Munir Ahmad Azim (aba) of Mauritius is unwavering in his spiritual mission over the last two decades. Making a special claim of inspired communications that he says he receives from the Unseen, from the throne of the Almighty God through Rooh-ul-Qudus (Holy Spirit); Hazrat Azim (aba) acknowledged his Divinely-inspired mission through a public proclamation for the first time on 6 December 2003, almost three years after he was officially expelled from the Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya (Qadian). A recipient of extraordinary spiritually-infused dreams, visionary experiences, and Divine revelations; Hazrat Azim (aba) was falsely accused by the Nizam-e-Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya of confusing and deviating people on the basis of his special Divine knowledge (God Forbid) before he was summarily expelled from the community in December 2000. 

Although the rank and file of the Nizam-e-Jamaat left him, Allah (swt) gave him comfort and consoled him with His words and messages and a small band of devout followers who remained resolute and firm amidst all trials and chaos, and against all odds.  In claiming to be a Muhyiuddin [the Reviver of Faith]; in claiming to be a Mujaddid [Divinely-mandated and appointed Reformer of the Muslim Ummah]; in claiming to be a Khalifatullah [the high representative of God in the mantle of the Prophets of the past] over the last two decades, and going on with his preaching efforts all across the world with the help of his disciples and followers; Hazrat Azim (aba) relies on the basis of crystal-clear Divine revelations that leaves one in no doubt or uncertainty about what it says- that he is indeed a  man in the league of extraordinary savants of God- the saints and reformers of Islamic world who lived in different eras; the exemplary role models of faith who projected the Light of Islam in their own times- following in the footsteps of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (sa).

Ignorant people [Jaahileen], especially deviant Ahmadi youths with no real knowledge or personal experience on deeper spiritual verities in the mystical Way of Allah (swt) rush in, like foolish persons, to oppose and critique matters beyond their understanding and comprehension in the realm of religion. Such a Jahil, found all too often in the circles of Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya (Qadian) these days, recently tried to turn Qur’anic doctrine of Divine Guidance upside down through his verbal jugglery by elevating a man-elected-man [Khalifatul Massih] to a lofty pedestal at the price of rejecting an Elect of God [Khalifatullah]!

Against the backdrop of such muddying of spiritual waters by the Ahmadiyya establishment in Tamil Nadu recently, Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam International published a Booklet in response. Entitled ‘Refutation to the E-Palmphlet “Twin Balaam” authored by Fayaz Aslam of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, Tamil Nadu’, Hazrat Muhyiuddin Al Khalifatullah Munir Ahmad Azim (aba) shines light on a number of topics central to an informed appreciation of the Divine Manifestation in Mauritius. By narrating the events of the present era in the everyday life settings of the Divine Manifestation, and linking them through Qur’anic principles and allusions- even interpreting the silences of the Qur’an to indicate a spiritual point-  from the life world of Hazrat Musa (as), Hazrat Harun (as) and the Jewish Balaam, Hazrat Khalifatullah (aba) throws searching light on the complex spiritual and material realities that undergird Divine revelations in a living community of people with different temperaments and mindsets, and the choices they make in their lives and the consequences these choices may entail in the fortunes of a people in this world and the world to come. 

‘Musleh Maoud’: Celebrating a Prophecy

            

In a special speech telecast live over the YouTube on Friday 24 February 2023, Imam- Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam Hazrat Muhyiuddin Al Khalifatullah Munir Ahmad Azim (aba) of Mauritius spoke on the fulfillment of a grand Divine Sign in the modern times pointing to the truthfulness and vitality of Living Islam: the prophecy on the advent of Divinely- shaded individual/s within the physical and spiritual progeny of the Promised Messiah Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) of Qadian (1835-1908).

All followers of the Promised Messiah (as) found in the various sections of the Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya today agree that Hazrat Ahmad (as) made the announcement concerning the advent of pure children as a special sign of Divine mercy and grace and blessing. Yet, there are major differences of opinion among the Ahmadi sects about the meaning and interpretative implications of the prophecy on ‘Musleh Maoud’.

'Mainstream' Ahmadis of the Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya (Qadian) feel that the prophecy was fulfilled in the person of the second caliph, Hazrat Mirza Bashir-ud-Din Mahmud Ahmad (ra) (1889-1965) and they attach only some anecdotal value to the fulfillment of this prophecy today, as they do not find any contemporary relevance to it, in a new century of Islam.

On the other hand, some Ahmadis do not consider that the prophecy regarding the advent of a ‘Musleh Maoud’ is fulfilled yet. For them, the fulfillment of the prophecy is concerned with the advent of a Ma'mur in the new century of Islam- in the Fifteenth Century Hijri.

Poem: ‘Musleh Maoud of this Era’

 

Today, 20 February 2023, marks the 137^th anniversary of an extraordinary sign of Divine Grace, Mercy and Blessings on a servant of Islam- the unforgettable prophecy as received by the Promised Messiah Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) in the year 1886 concerning a Promised Pure Son who shall be his biological and spiritual heir. While the biological and secular fulfilment of the multifaceted Prophecy Musleh Maoud stands vindicated in the previous era in the Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya; by the immense grace of Allah, the noble spiritual son of the Promised Messiah (as)- and Imam of the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam International- Hazrat Muhyiuddin Al Khalifatullah Munir Ahmad Azim (aba) of Mauritius is the Musleh Maoud of the present era- a fact that became apparent through Divine revelations received by Hazrat Saheb (aba) on 20 February 2004.

 

Reproduced below is a poetic reflection by Mukarram Amir KM Saleem Saheb of Tamil Nadu: a sublime tribute to the Prophecy Musleh Maoud- especially its contemporary manifestation in the person of Musleh Maoud Hazrat Munir A. Azim (aba), Alhamdulillah, Allah-u-Akbar!
