In the
post-Communist, contemporary world, Islam is considered the potential threat
and rival to the designs of the imperial West and its grand strategy of
dominating the world. For, Islam is the world’s fastest growing religion with a
population of around 2 Billion and counting. Indeed, every fourth person on the
face of the Planet is a Muslim and over 50 countries have a predominant Muslim presence.
The world’s most strategic energy resources- oil, natural gas and other petroleum
products- are located in the Muslim lands of West Asia and Central Asia. With
this kind of huge natural advantages, the Muslim nations can and should be able
to control the world and its destiny in material terms.Yet, that is not happening. How do we explain this irony of Muslim fortunes and what is the way out for the Ummah?
The imperial
powers of the Occident know their game well. The strategic containment of
Muslim nations is thus sought to be achieved through military domination, economic
subjugation and political division of the Muslim nations and peoples. Yet, for
winning the war of public legitimacy, this agenda of imperial strategy shall
have to be camouflaged. For implementing this grand strategy, the language of
public articulation and diplomatic positioning comes in handy for imperialism and
its strategic deceptions. For instance, while perpetrating ‘‘State Terror’’ against the Muslim
Ummah in Palestine, Iraq
and Afghanistan, these western powers claim they are waging “war on Terror”! [Inset: Front cover of "Covering Islam"- Prof Edward W. Said's classic study on media perceptions and projections on issues concerning Muslims and Islam in the US].
In his Friday
Sermon of 28 September 2012, the
Khalifatullah Hadhrat Munir Ahmad Azim Sahib (atba) of Mauritius profoundly reflected upon
this theme. Drawing upon Qur’anic verses, the Khalifatullah (atba) asserts that the Islamic ethics and values shall win over
all other ideological rivals and belief systems. For the benefit of Muslims,
the Divine Messenger also mentions a prayer revealed and taught by Allah the
Most High to recite in these troubled times for Islam and Muslims.
Read the Extracts from the Friday Sermon:
“And never will
Allah give the disbelievers over the believers a way (to overcome them).” (4:142)
With each
passing day, we see that in one way or the other, the machiavelic minds of
America, Israel and other countries of Europe who have great hatred for Islam
are seeking ways and means to finish Islam. They associate Islam with terrorism
and they seek war against Islam on the pretext of terrorism. We have seen this
in a so-called super-powered country like America, and this hatred became
active with such force from the time of the Bush administration. And this
problem is not diminishing in any way.
Years ago, back
in 2002, in the times of the Jamaat Ahmadiyya Al Mouslemeen I
already said some things which shall happen, especially on the outcome of
America and all the plans that it has made along with Israel to finish Islam. They
seek to erase Islam and as they know that the Muslims are divided and are at
war with each other, therefore they seek to create all the more divisions
between us, and they say that they are at war with terrorism. But it is
far away from a war with terrorism.
Since long in
the plans of America and Israel, through the wars that they have perpetrated in
Afghanistan or Palestine or even Iraq, have been to stop the re-establishment
of the supremacy of Islam as a universal religion and a complete system. When
some Muslims get up to re-establish the supremacy of the Shariah
(Islamic Law) in the world, therefore, when the enemies of Islam see this, they
realise that this shall represent a danger for the occidental world, and that
is why the infidels have united together. They did it in the past and they
shall continue to so it in our times, and thus, to stop such a situation to
manifest itself, we Muslims must unite ourselves to bring forward the victory
of Islam. Thus, it
is not a war against terrorism, or against Bin Laden (and his group) or even
the “despised” Taliban regime which they have made and continue to make, but it
is a crusade against Islam and they have found a means to exterminate all means and ways with
which the Shariah can be
established.
As for the false “terrorism” pretext, it is pure
hypocrisy. The world as a
whole knows America (United States of America) as the State of Terrorism par
excellence. Many people were killed during the Gulf war (200,000 dead), Vietnam
war, in Panama, Korea, Philippines, Hiroshima (140,000 dead) and Nagasaki
(70,000 dead). This shows America as a criminal of war. Moreover, it is the
sole country in the world which has used the nuclear bomb against others and
this was done twice. Nobody can forget also the 500,000 children who died due
to embargo imposed in Iraq and the 17,500 people who have been killed during
the invasion of Israel in Lebanon in the year 1982. There were massive
bombarding against Afghanistan without any legitimate proofs and this was done
against the permission of the UN (United Nations), and this in itself
constitutes a clear example of State Terrorism. Therefore, instead of being terrorists, we are in fact victims of the State Terrorism of America in all
its forms: military,
political and economic.
Before such a
conjunction, it is neither for us to take a defensive nor to be completely
discouraged by the misinformation which the international media is projecting.
It is now clear that the media has joined hands with the infidels in a campaign to denigrate and sully Islam and the
Muslims. And this is
becoming clear day by day whereby the media are giving an extraordinary helping
hand to project a negative image of Islam in the world.
There are many Abu Jahls who have manifested
themselves, like Pastor Terry Jones and his groups, who day and night are scheming to finish Islam.
Recently, after having contributed in the propagation of the anti-Islam film on
the life of Hazrat Muhammad (sa), on 11 September 2012, he publicised the
international mockery trial of our master Hazrat Muhammad (sa) like he did for
the Book of Allah, the Holy Quran since last year. Not only this, but he is
also inciting the West to unite as one body to finish Islam.
He says: “… So now it is time for us, in the West, to unite
together to protect our values. One of them, and perhaps one of the most
important of them is our right to freedom of expression, freedom of speech,
freedom of the press. Let us stand together, let us unite, and let us send
Islam and other terrorist, totalitarian groups a very clear message that we
will not be bullied, we will not be intimidated, we will not be pushed around.” (One of his Messages as a Presidential Candidate in the U.S.A)
Therefore, like
I said myself so many times, and I repeat myself, his end consequences shall be
grievous and Allah shall finish him bit by bit (piece by piece).
Not only them
but other leaders of other countries who fight against Islam in the name of freedom
of expression, in the name of democracy, where they consider Islam as a
religion of terror and which promotes all sorts of indecency. But they do not
realise that without Islam and its laws,
therefore the Muslim world would have become indecent like them. They
criticise Islam on account of the plural marriages it allows the Muslim,
whereas they are the ones who practice fornication and adultery and afterwards
they declare that only one woman suffices for them, but they have illegal women
everywhere! Not only illegal women but also illegitimate children also! Islam
knows the nature of man. It is advisable that you do something in legality
whereby Allah is pleased with you than do such deeds where the human race
spreads illegitimately.
There are other
laws which Islam has instituted and which the West has copied. And they have
the guts to take Islam as a satanic religion! They can smile with you, take you
as friends, but inside them, there is a profound hatred against you, Muslims.
They know that the religion of Islam is SAHIH (True), and therefore they scheme
to finish Islam. Therefore beware of them!
Thus, War, be
it against Afghanistan, or Palestine, or any other Muslim nation, is war
against the Ummah as a whole. Therefore we must feel ourselves in a state of war against
the enemies and their allies. To show our solidarity for our brothers and
sisters, it is through supplications to Allah for them, and at the same time we
show our hatred against the infidels. Enough is enough! We must condemn also
the leaders of the Muslim world for their indifference and their treason
(against Islam).
For all these
problems, in the Quran Allah warns us: “And
the disbelievers are allies of one another. If you do not do so (that is, unite
yourselves), there will be much disorder on earth and great corruption.”
(8: 73)
Therefore, it
is only through ideological, political and geographical unity that the Ummah (that is, the Muhammadan Ummah) can put a stop to all our problems, and give the Ummah its honour and put fright in
the heart of the infidels.
Today Friday 28
September 2012, even after ten years, I tell you again my brothers and sisters that the days are not far when the world
shall witness, Insha-Allah, destruction of the hegemony of America and
the other infidel states, where the Ummah shall make them pay for their savage
aggression against humanity. The world, free from the slavery of capitalism
shall witness at that moment, the Justice of Islam. After the too many years
that the Muslims have lost track of the teachings of Islam and after centuries
Allah sent the Promised Messiah (upon him be peace) to bring back the Ummah on
the path of Tawheed (that is, the unicity of Allah), but they (that is,
the Muslims) showed their arrogance and now little by little look how they are
suffering in the hands of the infidels.
But, Insha-Allah,
in this era, Allah shall enable lots of our brothers and sisters to ponder over
this situation and therefore the time shall come, and this shall verily come
when the Tawheed (unicity of Allah) shall be re-established, and they
shall be thirsty to seek that pure water to drink, and they shall realise that
there should not be any difference between us, and other sects (in Islam); (Insha-Allah)
we shall unite ourselves under the commandment of Allah and be guided by
only one leader. It is at that moment that union shall bring forth strength.
As long as we are not united on the unicity of
Allah, the Ummah shall continue to suffer. Therefore, we the Sahih al Islam, the Ahmadi
Muslims who have love for Allah, for our beloved prophet Hazrat Muhammad (peace
be upon him), love for the Ummah, for the Promised Messiah (upon him be peace),
love for the Caliphate which Allah has instituted for you all in this era and
love for all our other Muslim brothers and sisters who are suffering,
we should make this supplication (dua) to Allah, such a supplication
which Allah revealed to me years ago and which we must do in all our obligatory prayers, including
our Tahajjud prayers etc.
DUA
Oh Allah! The One who have
sent down the Book,
The One who make the clouds
move,
The One who makes armies be
defeated,
Enable the defeat of the
enemies (of the Muslims)!
Oh the All-Powerful! Oh
Allah, we ask you to scatter their shots,
Make the earth tremble
under their feet and put fear in their hearts.
Oh Allah! Handicap them and
blind them and send on them epidemics and calamities.
Oh Allah! Cause division
among their troops and their armies (who are in rank),
Make their condition
difficult and return their scheming against themselves.
Show us the manifestation
of Your power against them and make that become a lesson for others to retain.
Oh Allah! Make their
destruction come quick and make their riches become booty for the Muslims.
Ameen
