As
part of his recent transnational Dawa Mission, the Khalifatullah Hadhrat Munir
Ahmad Azim Sahib (atba) of Mauritius journeyed across the Indian Ocean to the
island-states of Sri Lanka and Maldives in South Asia, and also to the coastal state
of United Arab Emirates (UAE) in
the Persian Gulf, in April-May 2014. As we have already documented Hadhrat Sahib’s
visit to Sri Lanka and also the historic Friday Sermon in the Maldives
delivered during this period, the present report focuses on the visit to Dubai
and Abu Dhabi. (To read the previous articles in the series, click here: 1, 2).
After
setting his feet on the UAE lands, Hadhrat Sahib (atba) started the Dawa mission
with the immigrant workers in the country- people of the Pakistani and Indian
origin- Kerala, Kashmir, Peshawar and also of Bangladesh origin and the other
parts of the world are employed in large numbers in the city-states of UAE.
The
most fantastic events which happened in both the Arab countries-Dubai and Abu
Dhabi- are that the Arabs listened with great attention to the message of the advent
of a Khalifatullah in this era, someone who has come from Allah to revive Islam
in its authenticity, to continue the great mission of our beloved prophet
Muhammad (sa).
On the other hand, it was mostly the Pakistani people who objected largely to the message of the coming a Messenger/Reviver of Faith after the Holy Prophet Muhammad (sa). They made lots of objection and were aggressive towards Huzur (atba) and the formation of Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam. They even dared to say in their arrogance: “It is us Pakistanis who are most powerful here in the UAE. We are 80% here whereas there are only 20% Arabs!”

They even dared to say in their arrogance: “It is us Pakistanis who are most powerful here in the UAE. We are 80% here whereas there are only 20% Arabs!”
Unlike
the Pakistanis, the Arab people were very helpful and indicated the
Khalifatullah on how to get the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam registered
in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the other states of the UAE. Tabligh/Dawa to the Arab
people were very pleasant. Huzur (atba) always thought that it would be very
difficult to broach the subject of coming of reformers within the fold of
Islam, and thus he was pleasantly surprised to have met with such Arabs who
were good-natured and open to the message. Huzur (atba) explained later on how
to approach them, how to talk to them and give the message of Allah. If the way
of approach is positive, all things will go positively, Alhamdulillah.
Many Arabs
embraced the message and adhered themselves to Sahih Al Islam. May Allah grant
to be firm in the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam, wisdom and knowledge to continue
the great mission of our prophet Hazrat Muhammad (sa).
They
are much better than the Pakistani people (one has met with). (Some of
the) Pakistani people, wherever they are in the world, take their country and
countries of residence as if they possess such places, even more than the
citizens of those countries. By
the grace of Allah, the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam has been officially registered
in both Dubai and Abu Dhabi, two main cities of the UAE. Again, “Laa
Ghaliba Illallah”. Allah had
promised to His Chosen Khalifa success and victory in establishing the true Islam
in all corners of the world. (For the video link to the Dawah mission to UAE, click here).
From
Hazrat Adam’s time till the Day of Judgement, Allah will always send His chosen
ones to bring unity and spread the unicity of Allah, especially when people
have entered complete spiritual darkness. They are completely deviated and more
attracted to luxurious life and disgustful business. Hence, as in all times
Allah manifested His divine signs and miracles to prove the truth of His
messengers. Hence many manifestations of Allah were clear and witnessed by the
people of the four countries which Huzur (atba) visited recently.
Some Signs and
Manifestations of the Divine during the Mission
1. Rainfall:
(a) Colombo (Sri Lanka) faced a severe drought during these last six months.
The
day Hazrat Khalifatullah Munir A. Azim (atba) landed there, rain poured down
and showered the country with much awaited water. The people of Colombo
themselves witnessed such a miracle, and the chauffeur (a pleasant good-natured
Buddhist) of Huzur (atba) even said while he was leaving the country: “When you
came, you brought rain with you, and when you are going, you are taking rain
with you!” The gentleman witnessed many a sign while he was with Huzur (atba) on
his visit. After talking lengthily with Huzur (atba), he was finally convinced
on the truthfulness of Islam and accepted to study Islam further under the care of the Jamaat Ul Sahih
Al Islam. And verily, the day
Huzur (atba) left Colombo, rain stopped.
(b) On his visit to the Maldives, a Sri Lankan working on one
of the islands recognized that after a special person has set his feet on the
land of Sri Lanka rain started pouring down and everywhere had become green
again. Alhamdulillah more rain poured
down when Huzur (atba) signed the official documents of registration because in
the morning it was sunny, hot and dry.
2. Cool
Air in Hot Weather:
(a) Maldives: A historical Jummah in the Maldives under a tree just like in the time
of our beloved prophet Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh). At the time of Jummah prayers a
cool wind welcomed the first people who had come to listen to the Khalifatullah
with their praying mat/Muswallah. That day was a very hot day, hardly any fresh
air around the island.
(b) Registration of Jamaat (Maldives): On the day of
registration of the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam in Maldives, the bus made three
rounds of the island, and Huzur (atba) was tensed lest he is late for the
registration of the Jamaat.
After a while,
Allah sent this message to His beloved Khalifatullah: Not to show any anger or
frustration because if ever he had set his feet at the first round itself, then
the Jamaat would have not been registered as the officer in charge there is
very strict and would have refused the registration of another Jamaat other
than Sunnati Jamaat. This is because he is a diehard (Kattar) Sunnati Jamaat Muslim, and according to him only Sunnati
Jamaat should rule Maldives Island.
Hence when he
arrived at the registration office, that particular officer (as revealed by
Allah) already left for lunch and Allah replaced him by another good-natured
Officer who helped Huzur (atba) a lot in filling all the forms of rules and
regulations, and without losing time the Head put his seal for the official
registration.
3. Sign in Return Transport (Maldives):
After a short
visit on an island, Huzur (atba) and his delegation wanted to visit another
island at around 15.30pm. Tickets were bought without asking the time of
return. En route to the island (half way), a 2hr trip by ferry, after enquiring
about time of return, they get to learn that there is no return transport back
to the island where they were residing. The next ferry would be on the next day
at around 07.30. They had nothing with them, not even enough money to pay for a
hotel to stay there.
Hazrat
Khalifatullah Munir A. Azim (atba) prayed a lot. And Alhamdulillah, a miracle
happened as thus: It never happened before that delivery of goods for local markets
in this island is delivered on that day, even late in the evening. Allah opened their way and solved their
problems on the spot when such a ferry came and thus Huzur (atba) and
delegation got transport back to the main island, so as to get another ferry to
go back to their place of stay.
While on the
island where they had gone (and where there were usually no transport back),
Huzur (atba) made a special program in the mosque with the collaboration of the
Imam of the Island and made short speeches preaching “Laa Ilaaha
Illlallah” in its true
sense and Hazrat Khalifatullah (atba) proclaimed himself as the Messiah and
Reviver of Faith of this era; that he is the Jesus who is long-awaited by the
Muslims. Around 18.00 hrs, after the ferry has already disembarked its goods,
Huzur (atba) and delegation got their return transport. Alhamdulillah.
4. Another manifestation
happened in Colombo; these future young Hafiz-e-Qur'an asked for special duahs
from our Huzur (atba). Allah even manifested the light of a special being in
their eyes, Mash-Allah.
5. In both Dubai & Abu
Dhabi people spread the false news that the Arab people are very strict and
harsh. But to Huzur’s astonishment, Allah opened his way very easily having the
Arabs at the head of the registration instead of the Pakistani “majorities”!
They were charming and accepted to register the Jamaat officially and even
proposed to open an Islamic school for the Jamaat in their states. Insha-Allah. We pray and follow only the
instructions of Allah on how to do the work. Alhamdulillah.
6. Another astonishing
event happened on their arrival at SSR International Airport. All passengers,
around 300, took the escalators towards immigration, quite a long way. But
Allah (swt) took great security measures for His Khalifatullah (atba). Two men
made Huzur (atba) and delegation only (not the other passengers) enter the lift
which was reserved for the VIPs.
We praise and thank Allah as He is Al-Raqeeb for His truthful servants.
