Knowledge comes from Allah
I thank my Rab that He has given me by His immense
grace the golden opportunity to continue the sermon which I started last
Friday, and verily without the grace, favour and Ilm (Knowledge)
of my creator, I could not have addressed you today on this subject. Indeed the
blessings and favours of my Rab is like a never-ending ocean
which immerge out of my heart to call out to you to purify your hearts in it,
to let them be full of the light of Allah which descends upon each one of you
so that you also may benefit from this extraordinary light and blessings. Insha-Allah.
Indeed without the help and guidance of Allah, without
His support and tutoring and His increasing my knowledge to carry on this noble
work, nothing would have been possible. It is really difficult to explain to
people how my Rab helps me and guides me, how He has chosen me
in this era as His Khalifa, not elected by men, but chosen by Allah
Himself. So I thank again my Rab and I continue on the same
topic of my sermon of last Friday.
Prophet's Wisdom
Our beloved prophet (pbuh) is reported to have
said: “Do not be envious of one another; do not inflate prices by
overbidding against one another; do not hate one another; do not turn away from
one another; do not enter into commercial transaction when others have entered
into that (transaction); but be you, O slaves of Allah, as
brothers. A Muslim is a brother of another Muslim; he neither
oppresses him, nor does he lie to him, nor does he look down upon or humiliate
him. Piety (Taqwa) is here (and he pointed to his chest three times). It is
evil enough for a Muslim to humiliate his brother. All things of a Muslim are
sacred for his brother-in-faith: his blood, his property, and his honour.” (Muslim)
...and the Ahmadiyya condition today
It is very strange that despite him mentioning this to
his companions and Ummah, these very instructions being in both Quran and
Sunnah, despite being Muslims, especially the so-called defenders of Islam and
Ahmadiyyat they do not follow these clear instructions and commandments. The Jamaat Ahmadiyya who should have been a model for
the other Muslims have also fallen prey to the unislamic ways, just like the
other Muslims fell prey to the allures of the worldly and unislamic way of
life. It is my prayer that my sincere disciples and followers do not fall prey
to the traps of the satans who lurk in the alleys of Islam to try to deviate
them from the right path and to separate them from their brothers and sisters
in faith. May Allah protect you all from this, Ameen.
It is very sad what is happening in the
administrations of the several Jamaats in Islam, including the Jamaat
Ahmadiyya. There are so-called defenders of Ahmadiyyat who do not practice what
they talk/preach. Many cheat their brothers in faith. If at the head, in
the administration there is no such respect for the divine commands and the
instructions of the Holy Prophet of Islam (pbuh), then imagine what state will
both the Ummah of Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh) in general and the Jamaat Ahmadiyya in
particular be if they do not comply with the Islamic code of life!
Now
imagine this is happening in the headquarters of the Jamaat Ahmadiyya, then do
you think that the administration at local level (Mauritius) be spared when
there is no true guidance? There are many who show that they are pious, but they
verily they have cheated their Ahmadi brothers. I know many such people. Now,
if such is the state of the Jamaat Ahmadiyya in Mauritius, then imagine what is
happening at world level! It is a pity that the representatives of the Khalifatul-Massih
who show themselves to have Taqwa but they “take without
asking for permission” the hard-earned contributions (like Zakaat,
Chanda, Tarik-e-Jadid etc.) of Ahmadi brothers and sisters.
Moreover, they do not hesitate to deprive their
workers of their salary. I am in a position to say this because I went through the same
difficult situation when as a worker of the Jamaat Ahmadiyya since 1987-2000,
the Jamaat Ahmadiyya of Mauritius along with its so-called Amir refused to pay me my salary
and length of service, a right which every worker is entitled to. 14 years have
now gone by without them respecting their engagement and reimbursing this debt.
According to the divine laws and the teachings of our beloved prophet (pbuh)
and also according to the laws of the country they should have by now respect
my rights and their engagement but till now they have not acted in the spirit
of true Muslims to pay the worker of the Jamaat who has given years of his life
(being also a means to earn my living) to work as driver for the Jamaat. (Inset: Ameen Jowahir, former "Amir" of the
Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya Mauritius, who
recommended action against a recipient of Divine revelations, on the fictitious charges
of "Fitna" against the Jamaat).
And adding to this, they have the guts to apply
boycott when both in the eyes of Allah and the eyes of the mundane law this
treatment and non-payment of salary etc. is illegal. Not only did the fourth
Khalifa make the deaf on this issue, but the fifth Khalifa also is following
the same unislamic example. Like Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh) said, a true Muslim is
he who protects the honour and property of his brother. Moreover, our beloved
master (pbuh) has also preached that before the sweat of a worker dries on him,
he is to be paid in full his due/wages. There are also like I mentioned Ahmadi Muslims who
have robbed Jamaat money and there are other Ahmadi brothers who have cheated
their brother and they are still in the Jamaat, and no Boycott is applied to
them. They are still in the Jamaat and are invited in many functions. When such
evil works are exposed, yet the real culprits are still honoured in the Jamaat
Ahmadiyya, 
whereas when at the beginning of the Divine Manifestation in Mauritius,
this humble self and Zafrullah Domun Sahib who has noted a lot of my
revelations informed the Khalifa of the time (Hazrat Mirza Tahir Ahmad) about
the fact that Allah is communicating with this humble self, then just because
Allah is talking with me, evil plots have been organised so that to put Munir
Azim and Zafrullah Domun out of the way. Perhaps they feared that I was a
menace for the institution of the man-elected caliphate which is now managed by
hearts now devoid of Taqwa. Just imagine that a Khalifa along with
his administrative body did not hesitate to send curse on us just because of
the fact that Allah has chosen to talk to this humble self.
Divine revelations, the light of the heart and soul of
man for his true revival is according to them illicit, daring whereas cheating
and robbing others of money is licit and tolerable in the new age Jamaat
Ahmadiyya. Our ancestors, true Ahmadi Muslims have sacrificed a lot to bring
the Jamaat Ahmadiyya to a position of honour by the grace and mighty help of
Allah, but then the new generation of Ahmadis have not hesitated to put down
this honour and have turned the teachings of Islam, as taught by both the Holy
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and revived by the Promised Messiah Hazrat Mirza Ghulam
Ahmad (as) upside down.
Long ago, we used to argue that the rest of the
Muslims were in error when they denied the truthfulness and revival of Islam as
brought by the Promised Messiah (as), yet now when Allah has sent His another
Messiah, the same people who have long preached that the door of revelations
shall remain open till the day of judgement, those same people have turned
their backs to Allah’s new elect, reviver of faith, caliph, messiah and
messenger.
From a pure heart turned to rust, to a rusty heart
turned to gold, the gold is now thrown to the hottest of fires to be burnt so
that no trace of Taqwa can be found. But the plan of Allah Oh
my dear brothers and sisters is really wonderful. The divinely operated
mastermind cannot be commanded by anyone. No man in the power of man can
contest the power of Allah and His plan. No one can command Allah, not to send
another messenger. Allah will keep on sending His messengers whenever He sees
that the world needs them. The heart is then revived by the pure water coming down
from the heavens, which teaches man what he did not know and also what he
already knew but had tried to hide it from his sight and mind so as not to feel
guilty of abandoning the ways of Allah. They prefer to put the teachings of
Allah in a distant corner of their heart, make the deaf and blind and go on
with their lives as if they shall live eternally on earth.
Now imagine what is happening in the Muslim world. I
can keep on giving many such examples with proof, but this is not the subject
of my sermon today. But what I have to say is that the consequences of these
people shall be grievous.
Verily, little by little we are witnessing how Allah
is bringing them to their destruction like He promised, without them realising
what is happening to them. Allah shall continue to pour down His destruction
upon them – divine punishment – for the way they behaved with, plotted against
and labelled His Messenger. Those who have acted treacherously with this humble
self, Allah shall deteriorate their health, those receiving big wages, Allah
shall deprive them from blessings in those wages. These people talk “Love for
All, Hatred for None” whereas their heart is full of hatred and refuse to open
themselves to the divine light and true love and brotherhood..JPG)
Allah has informed me through His revelations that He
shall deal with them vigorously for the way they behaved and plotted against
me, for the dishonest way they acted on every front: mundane (work) and
spiritual. Allah has reassured me that those so-called Ahmadi Muslims,
so-called defenders of Islam and Ahmadiyyat in complicity with the man-elected
Khalifa and his administrative body, those who arrogantly boast on the grandeur
of their family names and honour etc., if they do not repent, retract from
their evil ways and reform their lives, and accept the divine truth and
messenger, Allah shall cause them to fall from such heights and their ultimate
destination shall be complete destruction. The day is coming when Allah shall
bring about that destruction.
Advice for Believers
It is my humble prayer to my Rab, my Allah that He
enables all members of my Jamaat, the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam to reflect truly
the teachings of Islam, and to live honestly with their brothers in faith with
their hearts full of love and brotherhood, and not with jealousy, because
jealousy is an armament of the satans to cause division among Muslims and to
lead them to their loss. May Allah preserve my disciples and followers from
such evil-mindedness and spiritual destruction. Ameen.
Therefore, Oh my brothers and sisters in every part of
the countries where the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam has been established, strive
to obey your Amirs, show total obedience to your Amirs when it is with Taqwa that
they are striving to lead you in the right way and under my supervision.
The Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam must live like one family, one body. If you follow
the lead of those who strive to lead you to your loss, then let me tell you
that you shall be very unfortunate and losers and you shall suffer a lot of
humiliation. I pray that this does not happen in our Jamaat.
I ask all Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam Amirs in all
countries to always respect the rights of workers, be them common workers or
workers of the Jamaat and pay them their salary in full, and all given words
must be respected and debts cleared as soon as possible. All of you are
brothers, and each of you must be precious to his brother/sister in faith. Do
not ever hurt the feelings of your brothers/sisters.
Strive to pass on the message of Islam in an Islamic
way, and do not approach the unislamic ways to communicate Islam and the
message of our Jamaat to others (for example, on the internet, in such sites
like Facebook etc. – Dawah must be done properly without any innovation or
alluring music in Islamic prayers or words. On Facebook there are such Qaseedas
which have been transformed into modern songs with the name of Allah and His
Rasul which are accompanied with music and drum. This is not Islamic at all!
This gives a wrong image of a Sahih al Islam to others. So I advise members of
my Jamaat around the world to remove from their Facebook/Internet accounts all
materials which gives a bad name to Islam and to our Jamaat also in the
presence of a Messenger of Allah.
As the Khalifatullah of this era, I appreciate that
efforts are being made to spread the divine message of this era to other
people, even through Facebook, but it should be done in an Islamic way. Do a
good work which shall make Allah pleased with you and do not seek to attract
the wrath of Allah upon you. Insha-Allah.
Moreover, my dear ones, always be ready to help
others. Do not be afraid that when you will help others, you will become poor.
No! Verily, when the intentions are pure, verily it is Allah who shall open the
way for all of you and Insha-Allah, the treasury of our Jamaat shall be full so
that we may fulfil our Jamaat projects with the blessings and mighty help of
Allah. The fruits of patience are indeed sweet in the long run. Such sweetness
which shall appeal to others also, Insha-Allah. May Allah remove
the blindness of the spiritually blind and bring them to witness the miraculous
recovery of their inner eye, the pumping heart which pumps only for Allah, for
the accomplishment of His commandments. Insha-Allah.
Continuing on the subject of my sermon:
Verily the
signs of Taqwa (piety) are that the believer obeys the
commands of Allah, and stays away from the prohibitions of Shariah. “And
whoso honours the symbols of Allah, it is surely from the devotion (piety) of
the hearts.” (22: 33).
It is reported in a Hadith-e-Qudsi that
Allah says: “Sincerity is a secret from among My secrets which I
deposit in the hearts of My favoured servants.” Remember, the softness
and good nature of the heart is a means of success in the field of Dawah and
Tabligh. Allah the Almighty addresses the Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) in the
Holy Quran.
“Thus it is due to mercy from Allah that you deal with
them gently, and had you been rough, hard hearted, they would certainly have
dispersed from around you” (3:
159).
To close for today the second part of my sermon, I
pray that Allah the Almighty gives me the Tawfiq to continue
my Friday Sermon on the same subject the week after the Eid-ul-Adha. I end with
this prayer to Allah, and I ask all my disciples round the world to recite this
prayer also. Insha-Allah.
“Oh Allah, I ask of You what shall please You, and I
seek refuge in You from what displeases You; I supplicate You to cleanse me
from all my sins, to purify me of my faults and examine my heart and instil
therein piety in every place, Oh the One who overlooks the weaknesses of
sinners.” Ameen.
