BIBI MOMIN AZIM SAHIBA, the respected and beloved mother of the Khalifatullah Hadhrat Munir
Ahmad Azim (atba) of Mauritius, died on June 30, 2012. Inna Lillahi Wa Inna Ilaihi Rajiuun....She
was 84 years old and the death came after a brief illness. Hailing from a
spiritually distinguished family with a track record of great sacrifice and considerable
service to Islam, Bibi
Sahiba’s forefathers were among the earliest Ahmadis of the Island nation. [ To

Bibi Momin Azim Sahiba was an important and
exceptional witness to the current Divine Manifestation in Mauritius from its
very early days. May Allah grant the departed, pious
soul a high and lofty place in the bliss of Jannat. Ameen, Summa Ameen. In his Friday Sermon of July 06, 2012 Khalifatullah Hadhrat Munir
Ahmad Azim (atba) thanked all those who offered her Janaza prayers and briefly described the
events of the last days of Bibi Momin Azim Sahiba’s earthly life. The shadow of
Allah’s help and succour comes to the Party of Allah in myriad ways even in
times of death and funeral.
Read the Extracts from the Sermon:
“Before ending,
by the grace of Allah, I would like to thank all my disciples and all those who
have directly expressed or sent their sincerest condolences about the sad
demise of my beloved mother Bibi Momin Azim Sahiba and who prayed her Janaza
prayers. Alhamdulillah, Summa Alhamdulillah, it gives my heart
tranquillity to find such love for Allah, His Rassool and the mother of Allah's
Rassool in your heart.
She was really an exceptional lady, and despite
that all her children except this humble self are found in the Jamaat Ahmadiyya
(mainstream), but she never hesitated to stand firm along with her son, the
Messenger of Allah, to such an extent that Allah gave this humble self the
blessing to have my mother with me and my family members in our house in her last
days. She even emitted signs that she would be
going away, by telling this humble self that this was the last time that she
would be coming to my place. Prior to taking her to the hospital, I and my
family members gave away Sadqua and took her to a private doctor and made all
the necessary tests and eco and we also prayed a lot. After 8 days of staying
with me, we had to admit her to the hospital due to sudden deterioration
in her health.
During her last visit (before this actual visit), she even expressed her last
wishes that it is I, her beloved son and our Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam
who have to take charge of her Janaza rites and prayers. She even told other
members of the family that she wished that it is this humble self who prays her
Janaza prayers. Alhamdulillah, Allah accepted her intention and wishes
and Alhamdulillah, her Janaza rites went off with respect and amicably
(with the cooperation of the family members found in the mainstream Jamaat
Ahmadiyya), and all that she wished were realised and Alhamdulillah, it
is I her son and our Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam members who first prayed her
Janaza prayers at 13.20pm. And before her body was taken for burial at 15.00pm,
the Jamaat Ahmadiyya prayed her Janaza prayers.
Allah
manifested this situation in such a way that even though the Amir Jamaat of the
mainstream Jamaat Ahmadiyya was present in the second Janaza congregation, yet
he was unable to prevent this humble self from participating actively in my
mother’s funeral. One question pops in the mind: Why then, after long years of
severe boycott to create dissension among family members, have the family
members accepted to let this humble self have my way with the Janaza rites and
prayers, even in the presence of their Amir Jamaat?
The latter and
his acolytes saw this humble self and panicked to such an extent that their
Janaza prayer lasted less than two minutes! The congregation of Ahmadi Muslims
were also astonished that the Janaza prayer was cut that short! But as per the
will of Allah, they could do nothing, and Alhamdulillah, Summa Alhamdulillah,
the last wishes of my dear mother were realised and her son, the Messenger of
Allah led her first needed funeral prayer at 13.20 before the assembly of the
Ahmadi Muslims. Verily, Laa Ghaliba
Illallah – All victory belongs to Allah!
By the grace of Allah, the last days of my mother at my place meant also that she got the final spiritual food with the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam also. She attended her last Jummah (Friday 22 June 2012) with the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam, she prayed her Tahajjud and all Farz prayers behind this humble self and the congregation of the believers, she assisted the sessions of Daras Quran and she enjoyed following the Zikr-i-Ilaahi and invocations to Allah made every night until Thursday night 28 June 2012, we admitted her in the hospital and it was at 03.45am on Saturday 30 June 2012 that she passed away. Innal Lillaahi wa Inna Ilayhi Raajeeoune.
By the grace of Allah, there were many signs and
revelations which this humble self and my family members received and there are
many signs also which my mother personally received before her demise.
Her dreams which she made at my place were
forewarnings of her imminent death and her talks even went into that direction. The first thing she told this humble self in the
car when I came to fetch her, was that it was the last time that she would be
coming to my place. Moreover, during the week, at the dinner table she told us
that she would be only staying with us for 8 days.
Even in the
hospital there were many divine signs manifested, and during her last stay with
me in my house, she even witnessed the descent of a divine revelation on this
humble self, saying that there are two "heads" (meaning two great
people or two elders) who shall passed away. Verily, this revelation came true.
On the same day that she died, another old Ahmadi Muslim lady in the south of
Mauritius also died, at an earlier time (near 02.00am approx.) Moreover
Allah since long gave me a list of all people who shall die in 2012, and my
mother also was on that list. What Allah decreed verily came true.
Manifestation of a Bee at the Funeral
All my family
members who are also members of the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam who were actively
present at the time of her last bath reported that after the Ghusl
(complete bath) there was the manifestation of a bee which went around the
corpse of my dear mother and then came near them and then went away. Just after
being informed about this manifestation of the bee, upon opening the Holy
Quran, my hands through the will of Allah opened directly on the Chapter An-Nahl (The bee) and thereafter Allah
gave me a series of revelations and explanations about the manifestation of
this bee near my mother’s body. The following is a brief of the extensive
explanations I received:
1. The bee represents an angel who manifested its
presence at that time, thus indicating that Allah is with us and her and that
the blessings of Allah are upon us.
2.
Allah accepted the will of my mother and made her last rites a blessed
one with her son as the Imam of her last prayers, despite the mountain of
difficulties there were previously with the rest of her children found in the
mainstream Jamaat Ahmadiyya.
3.
The bee receives divine revelations and thus all that happened, happened
only with the blessing of Allah and manifested the truthfulness of the Divine
Manifestation and my mother’s firm stand in the Divine Manifestation.
Moreover, Allah
manifested a startling sign on my little grand-child (the grand-child of my
late brother and disciple Azize Azim
who also was a miracle child after duahs which this humble self made prior to
his birth) whose name is also Azize.
This child, aged 3 years old received
divine revelations and woke up at 03.00 am one or two days prior to the death
of my mother and reported that he saw himself eating pomegranate while “Kala
Rubina” (whose other name is “Momin”) was drinking the juice of pomegranate in
a beautiful garden. After telling his mother this vision he went to sleep and
then afterwards woke up again and said that he saw that he was plucking Roses
for “Kala Rubina” (Momin) and giving it to her in a beautiful garden.
By the grace of Allah, my beloved mother led a pious life (84 years), in excellent health condition despite her old age. It was only in her last days that she fell ill due to a mild cold and sadly left us for her eternal abode in, Insha-Allah the best of conditions and spiritual form. By the grace of Allah, she was buried in the same grave as her beloved son Azize Azim, my brother and firm disciple who died in the times of Jamaat Ahmadiyya Al Mouslemeen back in May 2006. This is also a manifestation of Allah which indicates clearly that the mother of the Messenger of Allah belongs in the soil of the Divine Manifestation.
May Allah bless her always, forgive her all her
mistakes she may have done in her lifetime on earth and may Allah accept her
graciously as His beloved and love her dearly in the loftiest of all Jannat. Ameen.
Jazak-Allah to all of you in Mauritius and also my dear ones in Kerala, India, Japan, Trinidad and Tobago and the islands for your expression of love, sympathy and prayers in these bereaved times. May Allah bless you all and reward you more than that, be it in this world and the hereafter. Insha-Allah, Ameen.
