In an Open Letter addressed
to the current head of the Ahmadiyya Community Mirza
Masroor Ahmad Sahib in February 2011, Hadhrat
Khalifatullah Munir Ahmad Azim Sahib of Mauritius called the attention of the Khalifa and the Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya to the
recurring instances of injustice within and the deeper structural malice that
underwrites and perpetuates it. “Justice is from the “blood” of Allah.
Allah detests unfairness. Therefore He likes that justice pervades His kingdom,
be it in the Heavens and Earth, especially so on earth, for the earth is filled
with satanic forces which attract men towards doom with their chaotic evil
plans”, reminds the Khalifatullah.
Read the Extracts from the Open Letter:
“For now more than ten years, the
Jamaat Ahmadiyya has lost its credibility in the eyes of people, and I dare say
in the eyes of the Ahmadi people themselves. The teachings preached by the
Promised Messiah (as) were foremost to enable the Ahmadi Muslims to inculcate
the richness of Islamic faith in themselves and to become role models for other
people, be them the rest of the Muslim Ummah or humanity at large.
Unfortunately all these teachings have been trampled under the feet of Ahmadi
people, through the wrong decisions which their Khulafa-tul-Massih have taken.
You have always based yourselves
on the report of your Amirs, missionaries-in-charge and especially the
Pakistani people working in close collaboration with you. You have always
listened to only one side of matters of high importance and based yourselves on
the so-called reports which your Amirs or missionaries-in-charge have sent you.
I tried to analyse all these situations profoundly to understand the why of all
your decisions as Khulafa-tul-Massih. Very often, you take such decisions which
are aimed to humiliate people, send curse upon them, expel them from the
Nizam-e-Jamaat Ahmadiyya or order that a social boycott be applied upon them,
without realising that the sanction and judgement you took were never based on Taqwa
(and I am saying this as from the period which Islam Ahmadiyya has taken the
route of decline).
Allah has given man two ears so
that he may hear both versions in case a problem arises and that judgement
becomes necessary to distinguish truth from falsehood. Likewise Allah has given
the Khulafa-tul-Massih two ears each to listen to both sides, and to take such
decisions as per the laws of Allah, not decisions and judgements based upon the
passions of either the Khulafa-tul-Massih or their men-in-charge or both. Both
parties must be made to come for a partial hearing, so that both can expose
their claim and proofs. Justice is not when only one party is heard, basing
oneself on merely a report of a person, being completely biased about the
situation at hand. Justice must be meted out, without exception, even if it be
against a family member. The Qur'an is clear about it.
Now, when I was still in the Ahmadiyya
Movement of Mauritius ,
I clearly recall that the fourth Khalifa-tul-Massih saying that when one
reports an Amir (negative report), then he MUST give a copy of the report to
that Amir whom he is reporting with the Khalifa. But where is fairness and logic
in that it is only an Amir who has a copy when matters become worse and justice
has to be meted out? When an Amir is reporting (negative report) an Ahmadi,
does the latter not have the right to get a copy of the negative report being
sent on his person to the Khalifa-tul-Massih? Is it because the
Khulafa-tul-Massih have implicit faith and trust in their appointed Amirs that
they do not need to hear the version of the other parties?
Do the Khulafa-tul-Massih base
themselves on only the report of their Amirs and precise the fact that if the
Amirs have done wrong, in giving a wrong report, then the Amirs shall be wholly
responsible – not the Khulafa! Do the Khulafa-tul-Massih not have an intellect,
a mind of their own to mete out justice? How weird is that! Do the
Khulafa-tul-Massih have to hide behind their Amirs making their Amirs wholly
responsible for the negative reports they write against innocent Ahmadis and at
the same time executing the sanctions and punishments against the innocent
Ahmadi Muslims for they think they are safe for the fact that ‘they have based
themselves wholly on the report of their Amirs’?
No, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad
Saheb, Allah has clearly defined how justice is to be meted out and on what
terms. Basing yourself on the report of your Amirs does not safeguard you from
the wrath of Allah when you happen to take a wrong decision, especially a
decision as grievous as to send curse and expelling innocent Ahmadi Muslims
from the Jamaat of Hazrat Massih Maoud (as). This happened in the case of the
fourth Khalifa-tul-Massih when he listened to the lies of his Amir of Mauritius and
“basing himself on the report of his Amir” he took the decision to expel this
humble self and Zafrullah Domun Saheb from the Nizam-e-Jamaat Ahmadiyya. Is
that the fairness which Allah demands of the person at the head of a community?
If all Khulafa-tul-Massih were to
base themselves on the sole report of their Amirs, then what is to be made of
the Quranic verse where Allah chided His very own Khalifa (a Khalifatullah)
Daoud (as) about not following his passions and to judge with fairness? Was
Hazrat Daoud (as) to base himself on the report of his chiefs-in-command or
mete out justice as per the law of Allah? After receiving clear warning from
Allah about the institution of justice, did Hazrat Daoud (as) go against the
commands of Allah by listening to only one version, by being biased? If he had
done so, would then not Allah have seized him with a severe punishment as
indicated in the above-mentioned Quranic verse (38 : 27).
If Allah has revealed such a verse
to the Holy Prophet Muhammad (sa), does it not mean that every person at the
head of a community (be them Khulafa-tul-Rassool, Khulafa-tul-Massih or even
Elects of Allah) not bound by this Divine law? Justice is
from the “blood” of Allah. Allah detests unfairness. Therefore He likes that
justice pervades His kingdom, be it in the Heavens and Earth, especially so on
earth, for the earth is filled with satanic forces which attract men towards
doom with their chaotic evil plans.
Likewise, rotten Khulafa or Amirs
will have to face the consequences of their acts, each responsible for their
own deeds, especially when someone has come from Allah saying that He is the
Elect of Allah, the Mujaddid of his era and thus the Khulafa-tul-Massih (4th
and 5th – especially the former) saying that there is no need of a
Mujaddid, Messiah, Muhyi-ud-Din in this era in the presence of a
Khalifa-tul-Massih. They have spread the nefarious idea among the people that
no Man of God (Messengers of Allah) is needed now for all Islamic needs shall
be fulfilled in the person of a man-made elected Khalifa in Jamaat Ahmadiyya
and that all those who shall proclaim to be divinely sent (each in his era)
shall be labelled a liar and that the revelations they receive from Allah are
“so-called revelations”.
Thus, I have reached the conclusion
that you (the Khulafa-tul-Massih) have not understood the importance of the
above-mentioned Qur'anic verse and have not taken it into consideration,
preferring to base yourselves on the lies of your Amirs (especially in my case
– the so-called Amir of Mauritius )
to take a one-sided decision not based on Islamic fairness and justice. You did
not (and still do not) judge people according to the laws of Allah, preferring
to follow your passions and that of your Amirs.
Allah is the Overpowering Lord. He
does what He wants. When Allah saw the piteous state to which the
Khulafa-tul-Massih has rendered the Jamaat of His Messiah Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as), and when all wrong decisions devoid of justice and
fairness have been taken – such decisions made without Taqwa – therefore Allah removed His divine favour from the
Khulafa-tul-Massih and He (Allah) preferred to
choose His very own Khalifa (a Khalifatullah) who has come not only as a Vicegerent of God, but
also as a Reformer (Mujaddid) and Messiah.
As long as the Khulafa-tul-Massih
were acting according to the divine laws with Taqwa,
Allah did not see the necessity to send someone from Him (His Chosen Khalifa),
but since the past 15 years, upon seeing the wrongs committed by the
Khulafa-tul-Massih (such decisions and judgement which are devoid of Taqwa, justice and fairness) and with them following their
own passions, it became necessary for Allah to send His Chosen One to revive
the lost teachings of Islam…”
