Spiritual history is replete with deep and profound
ironies. Whenever Allah the Most High raises a
Messenger of His, leaders of the society will reject him. The elite of the
community will vehemently oppose him. Only a very few, relatively
materially-poor and humble in spirit, will accept the Divine Messenger. This
small band of believers will go on to undertake extraordinary sacrifices in
pursuit of their deeply held convictions. They will display nobility of
character against all odds and in the face of adversities, eventually to emerge
as the shining stars in the darkest of skies.
Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam of Kerala today
straddles this path of sublime spirituality. In spite of their small numbers, modest
economic conditions and adverse social circumstances, members of the Jamaat in
Kerala compete among themselves in the spirit of financial sacrifice and to
show perfect obedience to the words and wishes of the Messenger of Allah. In
his Friday Sermon of 30 March 2012 and also
on April 06, 2012 Khalifatullah Hadhrat Munir Ahmad
Azim Sahib of Mauritius (atba) took note of the spirit of sacrifice and
obedience being displayed by the Kerala Jamaat.
Extracts from the
Sermons:
Before ending
my sermon, I wish to address all my brothers, sisters and children in Kerala.
First of all, Assalamoualaikum
Warahmatullah Wabarakaatuhu (May the peace, grace and blessings of
Allah be upon you). It is my humble prayer that Allah keeps you in good
physical and spiritual health always, give you long life and increase your
wealth, Insha-Allah.
The Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam of Kerala has made
extraordinary efforts in the field of financial sacrifice, only for the
pleasure of Allah in the 72 hours which has just went by. From among the existing Jamaats in several
countries, the Jamaat of Kerala has excellently done “Fastabikul Khairaat” (vying each other in good deeds). By
their deeds, they are reviving Alhamdulillah the great sacrifices of the Sahaba
Karaam in the times of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Despite their meagre financial positions,
the Sahaba Karaam used to go and work in the market only to receive some money
to put in the hands of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) to spend in
the path of Allah. They have done this with joy in their hearts despite not
having any food at home or adequate clothing. For them, Allah and His Messenger
(peace be upon him) came first. Their sacrifices were such that Allah the
Almighty blessed them and this blessing made them reached the peak of glory
today, spiritually speaking.
With the advent
of this humble self, the humble servant of Allah in this era, whereby Allah has
raised me with a Jamaat, Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam, that beautiful spirit of
sacrifice shown by the Sahaba Karaam has been awaken today in Kerala despite
their difficult financial situations. Nevertheless they did not hesitate to say
“Labbaik” to the Khalifatullah of this era.
The other
Jamaats from the other countries must take the Jamaat of Kerala as a model, for
that which they (the Jamaat of Kerala) planted today they shall reap it more
than that, be it in this world, and the next. Generations and generations shall
benefit from such blessings. They shall eat the fruits of these sacrifices.
O my brothers,
sisters and children I give you this good news that Allah is with you, wherever
you are, the shadow of Allah shall be upon you, and He shall protect you
against all kinds of cyclones. Whatever difficulty you may face, Allah shall
remove them, Insha-Allah. Ameen.
I reassure you
that my prayers are with you, and that whatever problems you may have, big or
small, Allah shall remove them, Insha-Allah. You have shown quality obedience
to Allah and the Khalifatullah of this era. Indeed the Jamaat of Kerala has
done remarkable excellent works for the cause of Islam, in all fields and
Insha-Allah you shall be ever ready to do all the more sacrifices, hundreds, in
all ways, whereby your love, respect and obedience for the caliph of Allah
shines forth like the brightest of lights. Insha-Allah, Allah shall embellish
you with His light, Ameen.
I wish to
thank, congratulate and pray for Dr. E. Tahir Sahib & Family, Mohammad
Siraj Sahib, Rafeena Siraj Sahiba, Abdul Kabeer Sahib & Family, Y.K. Haris
Sahib, Razia Haris Sahiba, Abu Baker Sahib& Family, Abdul Hakeem Sahib,
Salim Sahib & Family, Mohammad Basheer Sahib, D.A. Zainul Abdeen Sahib,
Fayezah Maryam Zain, Zakariah Bin Zain, Fauzia Jamal Sahiba, Sofiyah Sahiba,
Shareefa Beevi Sahiba, Zaki Mubarak Aziz Raother, Haseena Masood Fazil Sahiba,
Fazil Jamal Sahib and the Amir Jamaat Jamaluddin Sahib (in his own name as
well as in the name of his beloved late parents Rasav Meeran Raother Sahib and Fathima
Beevi Sahiba, as well as in the name of his beloved late son Fouse Sahib and his grandchild Yahya
Fouse Jamal).
My special
thoughts and prayers also are for Abdullah Zubair Sahib, Pattabi Raman Sahib
and all persons involved in this financial sacrifice. May Allah be your
ultimate reward for all of you. Ameen. May Allah give you the Tawfiq till your
last breath to remain loyal to Allah and His Khalifa (Khalifatullah).
Insha-Allah, your rewards in the hereafter shall be enormous. Ameen.
In his Friday
Sermon of April 06, 2012 Hadhrat Sahib (atba) specifically appreciated the initiative of the Kerala
Jamaal to deliberate upon and study in depth the subject of Dawa:
“Before ending
my sermon, I wish to inform you all that our brothers and sisters in Kerala are
organising a special programme on Dawa today. All members shall be reunited, Insha-Allah.
This special function comes in the nick of time because Dawa as I explained in
my previous Friday Sermons have to be done well and therefore the initiative of
the Kerala Jamaat is great. May Allah bless them further and make their
programme fruitful, and may Allah guide all the more righteous souls, and even
the thirsty of divine love and other people to be rightly guided through their
humble efforts. How true is the verse of the Holy Quran concerning such
believers who despite being “a small army” but they are ever so courageous in
the Jihad to bring other souls towards the unicity of Allah. Allah and His
Messenger are very happy with them. They are recipients of many divine signs
and manifestations. May Allah increase further their knowledge of Deen, and may
Islam profit from them. Such people are the light-bearers for the future of
Islam, Insha-Allah.
On this happy
occasion, the advices I need to give them is: “Persevere O my disciples, persevere, O my followers. You are far away
from my sight yet close to my heart. Let the world know how true Islam is in
its glorious state, for Islam shall profit only if there is unity,
collaboration, brotherhood, love, comprehension, and obedience to Allah and His
Messenger. The Holy Quran is an open book for the thirst of your hearts.
Let the Holy Quran lead the way to Allah for the truthful, the submitters to
Allah.
When you remain
true and sincere, Allah shall cause mountain of difficulties to be as light as
a bird’s feathers. The true believer is the one who encourages unity and who
does not prevent His fellow brothers and sisters from the path of Allah. On the
contrary, they become facilitators so that others can profit from the advices
and teachings from the Holy Quran which they have come to impart, as a blessing
of being the disciples of a Messenger of Allah. These are the true Dai-Illallah
who sacrifice for the sake of the comfort of others, be it a brother, a guest
or even a stranger. Hearts turn to them for they feel a light in them, such a
light which will bring them to the comfort of Islam, the real and true
religion. Allah and His messenger come first for them. They are the holders of
the keys to the divine door due to that exceptional obedience.
O my brothers,
sisters and children become like such believers who do not let Satan deprive
them of their faith, who make Allah and His messenger become their priority and
that Islam flourishes through their humble sacrifices. They live as one
brotherhood. A believer may be new in belief but when he believes he completes
his soul with divine love and obedience. His life is changed for the better. He
prefers the next world instead of this temporal world. His heart becomes the
eye with which he sees Allah, perceiving Him through his own behaviour and
deeds and also in others. Whenever something wrong happens, he tries to correct
it so that the right way may be distinguished from the wrong path.
The Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam of Kerala is
progressively on the go to possess such distinctive qualities of believers. May Allah bless them, who are doing exceptional
efforts to vie with the other Jamaat in other countries in good deeds. May
Allah bless their endeavours. May Allah reward them, be it in this world and
the next. Insha-Allah, Ameen.
