My
dear brothers, sisters and children of the Kerala Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam,
Assalamoualaikum
Warahmatullah Wabarakaatuhu.
It
is a great pleasure for me to address you for your Annual Jalsa Salana in
Mathra, South Kerala. I may be far away from you, but you are very close to my
heart, in my thoughts and prayers.
Today,
I have chosen to talk to you about the need for believers to remain ever true
and sincere to their faith. Remember my dear ones, there shall be a thousand,
nay a million trial which shall inevitably cross your path, but when you choose
to trust in Allah, and keep firm in your faith, and at the same time strive to
give your best for the propagation of the message of Allah in the four corners
of the world, then definitely Allah shall become your closest Friend and
Support, and help you through all ordeals in life.
The
time you are living is not an ordinary time. Allah has chosen you in this era
and guided you and then placed you in His Jamaat, under the leadership of His
Messenger, the Khalifatullah. You are not ordinary people. You may think you
are ordinary out of your humility, but indeed you are exceptional, and in each
and every one of you – provided you are truly sincere – is found the light of
different talents which Allah has vouchsafed you to help His cause and message
to propagate in the four corners of the world.
Bear
in mind my dear ones that you may be few today, and scattered across Kerala and
may have difficulty to travel often to meet one another as one brotherhood, but
indeed where there is a will, there is a way. When one truly makes a good
intention to cross the country for the sake of Allah and to meet his or her
brothers and sisters in faith to learn together and display a true spirit of
brotherhood and to act as a fortress of faith in the face of many trials from
the exterior, then definitely when you turn to Allah and seek His help, verily Allah
shall open your way.
Many
of my disciples here in Kerala and also across the world have related to me how
when they least expected it, the succour of Allah came and they were bestowed
not only spiritual favours, but mundane favours also, such mundane favours as
to help the spiritual realm of the Divine Manifestation itself. So, I advise
you lovingly to keep united, and turn to Allah. Do not let the least doubt
attack you. Satan is ever present to create havoc in the minds and hearts of
true believers. He and his army try their best to drift the believers away from
the midst of Allah, His Messenger and True Religion (that is, Islam).
As
for us, we are indeed fortunate that Allah has chosen us and put us in His
Jamaat under His merciful eyes. He chose us to deliver His message. Each of you
is a little reformer of Islam under the gaze of Allah and the guidance of the
Khalifatullah in this era.
Hazrat
Massih Ma’ud Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) established the first Jalsa Salana as a
means to reunite all the true believers of the Divine Manifestation so that
they may listen together the precious advices of the Messiah (as), and in
absence of the Promised Messiah (as), to cultivate and teach and learn from one
another such values as to enrich one’s soul in Islam – Submission to Allah.
Remember
my dear ones, Oh you the sincere ones. There will be a lot of trials which
shall grip you. There shall be many people who shall disguise themselves as
true believers in the Khalifatullah of the age so that you may neglect your
faith and take the wrong path. Good news are for those who keep firm, who
despite questions and whisperings cast those aside to focus on the Mighty
Command of Allah as established in the Holy Quran to: “Obey Allah and His
Messenger”. Such will be the companions of the Khalifatullah in the hereafter. Insha-Allah.
Remember,
years back I was raised with a Jamaat – Jamaat Ahmadiyya Al Mouslemeen, and
Allah tried all members therein to know the real extent of their faith, whether
what they were saying on their tongues were reflected in their hearts.
Everything was fine in the beginning, then when the trials set in and our
enemies with many plans sought to create dissension, therefore havoc overcame
them when they made the Divine Manifestation become an ordinary occurrence, as
being of no real value.
Indeed,
the hypocrites are those who act and talk like believers while their hearts
abhor what they are saying. They detest the Signs and Manifestations of Allah
and Allah’s Messenger because primarily, their lives have changed and they are
made to work harder and harder for the cause of Allah, while their near ones
abandon them and boycott them. They feel as if this world is everlasting and
that they are not to leave it one day. They put the blame on Allah and His
prophet that it is us who have created such a situation where they feel stifle
in the Divine Manifestation. Gone are their days of leisure and pleasure. But not for the real believers!

The
real believers are those who feel complete in the spiritual realm of Allah’s
Signs and Manifestations. They welcome with joy the feeling of being cut off
from this temporal world and they strive to make the cause of Allah and His
Messenger most successful. Those are the gems of Paradise, those who shall
shine more than a millions’ light on the Day of Judgement. Their light of faith
shall shine and enter the realm of Allah’s satisfaction. Humans are weak in
nature. This is a fact, but the believers are those who push away Satan and
satanic thoughts and acts from their realm and invite Allah to establish His
sovereignty over their hearts, minds and bodies. Those are the ones whose lips
are ever pronouncing the name of Allah, praying to Allah and seeking His help
and guidance. They are the ones who do not wish harm to others, but yes, they
are the one whom like the Holy Quran states clearly, especially in the times of
a Messenger of Allah, they are those who prefer Allah, His Messenger and the
abode of the Hereafter more than anything; even if their parents, siblings and
blood relations are staunch enemies of the Divine Cause and Manifestations,
they are those who march with the blessing of Allah towards victory and make
Allah, His Messenger and the Divine Cause their priority, and the victory they
get is only because they listen and act upon the instructions of Allah and His
Messenger, and they do not fear man. Their hearts are filled with the fear of
Allah, and they are anxious to help the cause of Allah, in whatever capacity
they have, to make the Divine Truth triumph over falsehood.
My
dear ones, do not worry if you are facing multitude of difficulties. After
every difficulty, there is facility, there is ease. You may be few in number,
but Allah looks at the quality of your heart and Iman (faith). Many
people may come to you to misguide you, or even to integrate the Jamaat of
Allah, the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam to harm us from within. But Allah knows
very well the evildoers and shall Himself remove them from His precious Jamaat.
Allah will keep on testing you also; never lose hope in the succour of Allah
and His blessings. Keep on striving hard for the cause of Allah, with a clean
heart, with Khushoo (humility) in the heart. Maximize your Deen works.
By the grace of Allah, you are doing wonderful works for the cause of Allah.
Verily,
Allah shall never abandon His Jamaat and shall keep the honour of His
Khalifatullah, this humble self ever alive. If tomorrow, at the dawn of a new
century, the millions cease to serve their purpose in the Divine plan to make
humanity one brotherhood for Allah, then Allah shall continue to raise His
elects with the Ruh-il-Quddus, to continue this blessed work. This is a
never-ending chain – at least until the Day of Judgement!
My
dear brothers, sisters and children, we must display true Islamic values
internally as well as externally so that Islam reaps the fruits of victory
through your humble efforts, so that the today’s world as well as the world
tomorrow may realise the truthfulness and perfection of Islam as religion and
Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh) as the best prophet and man to have ever graced this
temporal world. Our priority is to guide others to Allah, and to make them
realise that all that which had come from Divine Source since the creation of
time will ever remain blessed.

It
is my humble prayer, my dear disciples of the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam, in
Kerala that you become such oasis which quenches the thirst of the travellers
in the dry deserts of unfaith. You represent the hope for those people who have
not yet received the message. So, continue with your works, only for the
pleasure of Allah, for therein is the key which leads to Allah’s approbation
and mercy. Insha-Allah. Ameen.
May
Allah bless you all – men, women and children – in this special gathering of
the Jalsa Salana and manifest His light and angels amidst you to uplift your
heart and mind in faith and happiness – a divine happiness for the
manifestation of a brand new day which brings more successes for Allah, His
Khalifatullah and the Jamaat of Allah, that is, you all sincere believers in
the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam. Ameen, Summa Ameen.
