Ahmadis are among the finest and ardent advocates of freedom of conscience. Yet, the Jamaat today is practicing thought control through intimidatory strategies of expulsion and boycott. If an Ahmadi today wholeheartedly believes in the continuity of Divine guidance as explained in the tenets of the Promised Massih (as) and acts upon that belief by recognizing and accepting the new Divine Manifestation, he or she could and would be expelled by the Jamaat system. Such a person is further liable to be socially boycotted by the community of his own people. Individual Ahmadis, including close relatives, are obliged by the system to break the ties of kinship with those who accept the new Mujaddid.
A central offence is deemed to be committed by, or attributed to, a member when he or she invites such a relative to the family functions, including Nikah. The punishment for such independence of thought may range from loss of office functions to even the expulsion from Nizam and the common workers are deprived of their basic rights and even their very livelihoods. The scales of justice are blatantly uneven and tilted invariably in favour of the elites and their cronies who can and will manipulate the unscrupulous in the system to get out of difficult situations. The situation in Maurititus is illustrative of the wider malaise of thought control, lack of empathy and dreadful intolerance, systemic injustice and mindless nepotism plaguing the Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya today.
Two recent marriages in Mauritius
There were recently two marriages in the Jamaat
Ahmadiyya Al Mouslemeen, in Pailles (Mauritius) where a Kala
(found in the mainstream Ahmadiyya Jamaat) of 2 children who were getting
married, and another one who is a neighbour
were invited, and because they attended the wedding/s, action were taken against these two ladies.
Where is that Jamaat heading to? Is that the
same Jamaat of Hazrat Massih Ma’ud (as)? Is this what Hazrat Massih Ma’ud
(as) has taught? On the contrary, Hazrat Massih Ma’ud (as)
has said, “If I am praying and the house of my neighbour is on fire, I stop my
prayer and go and help him.” And in
this case, all parties being Ahmadi Muslim believers, but
because some believed in the Divine Manifestation, they (the so-called chiefs)
are the same ones to take sanctions, the same ones to order expulsion and the
same ones to apply boycott. And they even said to come forward and ask
for forgiveness, and they are the same ones to forgive!
Now, we shall see what these so-called
defenders of Khilafat will do concerning a wedding (Nikah) which was held on
Friday 24 January 2014, where the invitation extended from Wednesday 22 January 2014 till Sunday 26 January 2014, where the
members of the Divine Manifestation and those expelled from the Jamaat
Ahmadiyya were invited. And on whom the orders of boycott was supposed to be
applied, whereby not to invite them etc.
But the parent (responsible party) of the bride did not listen to them,
did not apply boycott and invite all as from Wednesday 22 – Sunday 26 January
2014 – four Jamaats reunited together! – and the lady who has extended the invition, is also the relative of the
Amir Jamaat of Mauritius. Her brother, and brothers-in-law are found in the
Central Amila. What shall these people do in this situation?
I am observing this situation very closely.
And moreover, the people whom they have forbidden to extend invitation are
invited and they are even invited to come for the Nikah ceremony, held in the
headquarter of the Jamaat Ahmadiyya Mauritius – Dar-us-Salam Mosque, and thus they successfully entered the
Dar-us-Salam Mosque. Boycott? or No Boycott?
Frozen Relations and an Islamic Initiative
After 10 years, a lady who ‘once upon a time’ belonged to the
Divine Manifestation… After witnessing many divine signs she left the Divine
Manifestation, and after so many years, she has reflected upon the arguments
which we have put forward and she has taken the firm decision to, come what may, break the iceberg which has
accumulated through the passage of time and proceeded forward for reconciliation like Islam teaches. This is
indeed a positive step forward in favour of this lady.
Verily,
like the Quran and Sunnah state, the one who makes the initial step forward for
reconciliation between Muslims, then there is forgiveness for him/her from
Allah. Verily, Allah knows best with what intention that lady took the
initiative (for reconciliation), and we pray that Allah forgive her and approaches
her near to Him (Allah) and bestow upon her the grace to reform her life in
such a way that Islam breathes from all directions with her and that she
obtains peace which comes from Allah. Insha-Allah.
It is
to the credit of the lady, BUT…
(1)
Now, what shall the present
Amir, his Mullahs, Khalifa shall do?
But, Oh she committed a
grievous sin, hasn’t she? How grievous it is! You have not yet taken her in the
open to stone her? What will you dooo? Boycott the lady like some did during
the wedding reception she organised (for her daughter) on the last day, 26
January 2014? These people saw the members of the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam
present in all functions related to the wedding and the wedding (Nikah) itself
at the Dar-us-Salam, just like the invitation specified. They marked their
presence there, and these so-called great families, great members of the Amila
were also present in these wedding functions and sat together on same table and
ate to their fill… all went smoothly…
till Sunday 26 January 2014, when they were
absolutely sure that the members of the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam shall also be
present, and thus, the only sanction which this wedding received (and it is
worthy to mention that it was at last minute when the wedding itself and all
diners have gone well) is that the Ahmadis and Amila members must stand up and
walk out from the lieu of wedding reception (held at ‘Domaine Anna’)! “Zot fine aller pou nana, mais selment zot
fine bizin quite Domaine Anna pou na pas nana! Zot fine accepter pou na pas
nana mais mette boycotte lors nana!” (They went there to “nana” (eat), but
they had to leave “Domaine Anna” not to “nana” (eat)! They accepted not to
“nana” (eat) and to put boycott on “nana” (food)!)
But (unbeknowest to them) that day, Allah sent down His revelations
and gave clear instruction (to the members of the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam
invited in these functions) not to attend that last day’s wedding reception. Allah did not
say to boycott, but verily, in His wisdom He gave such instructions not to go
there.
And later on, we came to know about the
wisdom of this divine instruction. It became clear; and verily, those people,
upon seeing that the members of the Divine Manifestation were present in those
wedding functions during all these days, therefore these people (the so-called
defenders of Khilafat) decided to “boycott” that last function, the wedding
reception, but their plan failed (it was in vain that they left the place)!
The members of the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al
Islam were not present in that reception! The wisdom of Allah is really extraordinary. Alhamdulillah.
TO SANCTION, OR NOT?
If Mr. Moussa and the members of his central
committee take action against the Ahmadis and members of the Amila who have
been present during the Nikah and the wedding functions from 24-26 January
2014, he is in a fix! – NOT ISLAMIC!!!
If Mr. Moussa and the members of his central
committee do not take action against the lady and the Ahmadis and members of
the Amila who have been present during the Nikah and wedding functions from
24-26 January 2014, he is in a fix! – Injustice against all those Ahmadis who had
organised weddings of their children in the past and who were foolish enough to
listen to these proud and arrogant people (great so-called defenders of
Khilafat), and it is also an injustice against those who have gone to take part
in the weddings which have been celebrated by the Jamaat Ahmadiyya Al
Mouslemeen, and who have been sanctioned for going there. These people were
stripped of their posts within the Jamaat and Amila. INJUSTICE!!!
What will they do? Sanction the lady who has
invited her families found in all Jamaats in Islam? If she is sanctioned, then
what kind of sanction will she receive? She
is not a member of the Amila! How then to sanction her? Expel her out of the Nizam-e-Jamaat?
She has family ties with the Amir Jamaat of Mauritius, Mr. Moussa Taujoo. Will
the later hesitate? This concerns his sister-in-law and niece! Sanction them?
Expel them? What will heee dooo?
So, my dear Ahmadi brothers and sisters, be aware of your
rights which the Quran and Sunnah has given you, do not listen to those
imbeciles who are introducing innovations (Bidah)
in Islam. For how long again will you let these so-called great families and
high intellectuals in religious matters fool you about Allah and that which is
permitted or forbidden?
Non-Acceptance
of Chanda
Another point which I would like to put in
perpective is the ORDER which has been given by the Khalifa
through his Vakil-e-Ala concerning not accepting the Chanda and other
contributions of “those penalized by the Jamaat”. They talk big words, not to
accept the money of ‘these people’, but personally I see that they are taking
the money gracefully. They say that they don’t need our money, but on the other hand,
they keep our money contributions with them. Why? So that fraudsters come and empty the
treasury of the Jamaat, and so that the Misters (great and rich influential
people) in the Jamaat can amuse themselves with Jamaat money?
Violation
of Basic Rights of Workers
Do
they honour payment of salary to the Jamaat workers? It is unfortunate see how
injustice (Zulum) is being done on
the people in Jamaat Ahmadiyya, national and international. And when you listen to these people (so-called defenders of
Khilafat), then you will realise that their words and actions do not concord. They
do not even practice what they preach.
You can now ask me what Zulum has the Jamaat Ahmadiyya (the
people therein) done? We are ourselves an example: There
are some (people) who worked for the Jamaat, they had preferred to reject all
good job offers elsewhere only to work for the Jamaat of Hazrat Massih Ma’ud (as)
and these days, they have been removed from their post. They are such people who
have toiled day and night, without neither any overtime payment, nor increase
in salary.
Nowadays, you will see one who will work (as
show-off), all work and problem he is prepared to deal with (for some minutes
only) when he is verily the king of laziness, and who tries to butter people,
especially the great Misters and chiefs and therefore, naturally, his salary is
special because of his family ties with these ‘great bosses’. As for the other
people, they have to toil hard at work and there is no increase in pay for
them. This is complete injustice, and I am myself a victim of this injustice, having myself worked
for the account of the Jamaat Ahmadiyya from 12 November 1987 – 31 December
2000.
The
sweat of my labour was usurped
They have played with people’s feelings by
saying that this is Jamaat’s work. As if, we (workers of the Jamaat) have no
family (to take care of), as if we don’t have any expenses (to pay for), whereas the ‘big bosses’ do as they please.
When I was expelled from the Nizam-e-Jamaat because I said that I was recipient of divine
revelations, not only did I found myself out from the Jamaat but also out from
my work, my livelihood without prior notice. When I
wrote them 3 letters concerning my job – and in the last letter I gave them an
ultimatum – it is then that they replied to me and dared to say that the
Jamaat decided to give me an “Ex-Gratia”.
I am of no need of their “Ex-Gratia”.
What I need is the sweat of my labour.
Till
today, they kept silent on the subject, playing the deaf, whereas these people
hold great posts elsewhere. They sought mundane
works which pay well, where they will get lots of money, benefits and honour.
And there will be no problem for them if they take “leaves without pay” to go
to other countries to seek more money, as long as they are working to build the
lives of their children. As if they are the only ones who have stomachs to eat;
workers of the Jamaat have to work for only some rupees. This does not affect
them (not being their problem).
We
are now in the year 2014. No response from them concerning my job and the length of time I worked
for the Jamaat Ahmadiyya. They sought the advices of their so-called legal
counsellors but even their legal counsellors have received from Allah some big
chocs in their lives, but nevertheless, they are not reforming themselves! Wait till Allah (swt)
renders His verdict/Judgement. There are Maktab/Madrassa teachers
who are teaching the children and who are only being paid Rs.1000 per month,
these days in 2014 when the cost of living has climbed. These imbeciles know only that which concerns
them, not others. There are other such occurrences and situations. The list is
long.
Treasury-sucking
Thieves and Wolves in the Jamaat
On the other hand, there are others who are
emptying the drawer/treasury of the Jamaat. They are stealing the hard-earned
sacrifices which the Ahmadis have made in the path of Allah. There are those
who have stolen money, but these affairs have been hidden, muffled and those at
the top have preferred reimbursing the money quietly, and those kinds of people
are still in the Jamaat, and no action is taken against them, and no boycott.
They are still being held high in esteem. Therefore I tell these people,
continue to raise those kinds of people higher; when Allah (swt)
shall cause them to fall (from that height) then there shall be no way out for
them.
Thus, if those who cause innocents harm and made
them to suffer had eyes, they would have seen visions of their punishments.
اَنَّ اللّٰہَ شَدِیۡدُ الۡعَذَابِ
Annalaaha Shahiidul-Azaab
“Allah is severe in punishment!”
They
chose the deviating path in their arrogance which they have, instead of taking
the right path. They are adamant in their wrong decision. In other words, they
prefer divine punishment instead of the forgiveness of Allah.
TO PONDER UPON
There
have been in each era people who rejected Allah and His Messenger. They make
all sorts of plans to create havoc on earth and to destroy the divine harvest
and the seekers of truth. They do not realise that their acts do not please
Allah (swt) at all. These kinds of people, whenever the divine
message is given to them, a criminal arrogance seize them and thus they are
satisfied with hell-fire.
Life on earth is attractive for those who do
not have faith and they are those who mock those who have faith, and they try
to attribute all sorts of defects on the believers, and call them all sorts of
evil names, ridicule them, but alas they do not now that:
وَ
اللّٰہُ یَرۡزُقُ مَنۡ یَّشَآءُ بِغَیۡرِ حِسَابٍ
Wallaahu yarzuqu mayy-yashaaa-u bigayri hisaab.
“And Allah gives
His favour to whom He wills without account.”
اَلَاۤ
اِنَّ نَصۡرَ اللّٰہِ قَرِیۡبٌ
Alaaa inna nasrallaahi qariib?
“Unquestionably,
the help of Allah is near.”
The help of Allah is always near for those
who put their trust in Allah and who accept all kinds of persecutions, trials
and boycott.
The
Holy Qur'an has verily said:
“Those who resist
Allah and His Messenger will be among those most humiliated. Allah has written,
“I will surely overcome, I and My
messengers.” Indeed, Allah is
Powerful and Exalted in Might. You will not find a people who believe in Allah
and the Last Day having affection for those who oppose Allah and His Messenger,
even if they were their fathers or their sons or their brothers or their
kindred. Those - He has decreed within their hearts faith and supported them
with spirit from Him. And We will admit them to gardens beneath which rivers
flow, wherein they abide eternally. Allah is pleased with them, and they are
pleased with Him – those are the party of Allah. Unquestionably, the party of
Allah – they are the successful.” (58: 21-23).
CONCLUSION
Earthly
entertainment is very temporary. It is life after
death which is better for those who have the fear of Allah only, not the fear
of the proud ones and those who instil hatred in the hearts of people whenever
they are sitting on the chair of authority. Creature commits injustice towards
creature. On the other hand, Allah (our Creator) does not do the least
injustice.
Allah (swt)
sent us the Book with truth so that we may judge people with justice. But alas, in that Jamaat, they are trying to
conceal their maneuverings (evil plots), grievous errors which others do. They
verily do not think upon the fact that they cannot hide anything from Allah,
and Allah encircles them in all that they do.
You
are trying to protect these kinds of people, hiding their scheming just because
they hail from such and such great families, who are so-called important people
of the Jamaat, but (tell me) who shall come forward to plead for them and cover
their filth on the Day of Judgement? These
so-called people in authority in the Jamaat are sinning without realising how
much harm they are inflicting upon their own souls. And without doubt, they are
carrying a heavy load of sins on their backs. There is no good in harming other
people, taking actions against them because they are in good terms or invite
people who have recognised the signs of Allah. There is no good in being unjust
against them and applying boycott.
On the contrary, it would have been
praiseworthy had they ordained justice and attempted to close the distance
between brothers and sisters of one same faith. Those who do such good works
(bridging the distance and bringing in accority), this pleases Allah and Allah (swt)
says:
فَسَوۡفَ نُؤۡتِیۡہِ اَجۡرًا عَظِیۡمًا
Fa-sawfa nu’-tiihi ajran aziimaa. “We shall bestow on him a vast reward.”
Allah (swt) has made us clearly
understood this from the Holy Quran:
“O you who believe! Stand out firmly for
justice, as witnesses to Allah, even though it be against yourselves, or your
parents, or your kin, be he rich or poor, Allah is a Better Protector to both
(than you). So follow not the lusts (of your hearts), lest you may avoid
justice, and if you distort your witness or refuse to give it, verily, Allah is
Ever Well-Acquainted with what you do.”
When
you hold the seat of power, when you are in authority, you must judge according
to what Allah (swt) has sent down, and you must not follow the
desires of those people (who try to do what is against Allah’s commandments),
and you must be careful in how you judge.
You must not give preference to anyone. We
must not turn our backs to the divine instructions bestowed upon us. If you
turn your backs to the divine instruction, then be assured that the intention
of Allah is to punish you for the wrong judgement and this indeed becomes a
grievous sin. Nobody can judge the faith of others, whereby Allah (swt)
says in the Holy Quran:
وَ
مَنۡ اَحۡسَنُ مِنَ اللّٰہِ حُکۡمًا لِّقَوۡمٍ یُّوۡقِنُوۡنَ ٪
Wa man ahsanu minallaahi hukmal-li-qawmiyy-yuuqinuun. “Who is better than Allah for judgment to a people who have
certainty (in their belief).”
How many are those who are reflecting upon
the fact that if someone by his arrogance use his authority to abandon the
divine instructions which are found in the Sacred Book (the Quran), then Allah
shall create another people who shall have the love of Allah in their hearts
and who shall fight for the cause of Allah, and Allah (swt) will
love them and will be with them wherever they are. And these people will act
modestly towards the believers, but will act with such severity towards the
hypocrites, zaalim, fasiqeen, and all those who revolt against the commandments
of Allah (swt), who do injustice. These are those who fight for the
cause of Allah and shall not fear any criticism coming from anyone. A true
believer is one who has the fear of only Allah in his heart, not the fear of
creatures.
Has the time not come Oh Ahmadis that you rebel against
injustice and act like the endowed with knowledge from among the Quraish after
the 3 years boycott they instituted against Nabi Kareem (saw) and the
Banu Hashim ? Had these people not decided to remove the
decree of man-made boycott and had they not seen the miracle of Allah whereby
the termites had bitten all parts of the pact except for the name and praise of
Allah?
Reflect
for a moment, but do not lose time because then it will be too late for you. Ponder over these points carefully and take your lives in hand,
according to the Quran and Sunnah, according to the divine instructions, not
those of man! Will the Khalifa and those so-called proud people come to your
rescue when your turn to account (before Allah) shall come? Or will they prefer
to save their own skin on that terrible day (it will be a day of terror for
those culprits before the sight of Allah)?
If Allah wants to guide man to reform
himself on the straight path, then Allah fills his heart with hatred against
all that is corrupted in the society in which he is living and all that which
causes deviation from the right path.
