Masjid Noor’ul Islam, Mathra
Eid-Ul–Adha Programme
Sept
11-12, 2016:
A REPORT
On the evening of September 11, 2016
our members assembled for the Maghrib prayers at the Noor’ul Islam Masjid,
Mathra. After the prayers, the Amir Saheb addressed the gathering and explained
the Special Message of Imam Al
Khalifatullah Hadhrat Munir Ahmad
Azim Saheb (atba) of Mauritius.
Before early dawn of September 12,
brothers assembled for the Tahajjud prayers. Later, Darzul Qur’an was conducted by the Amir Saheb after the Namaz-e-
Fajr. Everyone reassembled for the Eid-Ul-Adha
prayers at the Masjid around 9.00 am. The Amir Saheb addressed the gathering by
reading out last year’s Eid Sermon of the Khalifatullah (atba).
After breakfast, brothers held the
final session of the Meeting, beginning with the recitation of the Qur’an by YK
Hariz Saheb. The Amir Saheb once again explained the Special message of the
Khalifatullah (atba), especially for the benefit of our brothers who joined
late.
After the Namaz-e- Zhuhr, everyone had lunch-
Eid Biriyani -together at the home of
the Amir Saheb. Visiting families and the other brothers began to return to
their respective places after the lunch. Visiting brothers- especially those
who have come back after a year or more- were excited to see the visible transformation
of the Masjid and its premises in such a short span of time. All of this change
for the better became possible - thanks to the fervent prayers of the Imam
(atba) complemented by the dynamic initiatives of the Amir Saheb that are
accepted through the sheer blessings of Allah (swt), Alhamdulillah. Members went back with a renewed determination and
spiritual vigour to serve the cause of faith in all ways possible, Insha Allah, Aameen.
Reproduced Below is the Text of the Special Massage issued by the Khalifatullah (atba) to mark the occasion:
To the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam Kerala/ Tamil Nadu
Eid-Ul-Adha Mubarak
UNITED FOR THE CAUSE OF ALLAH
Dearest brothers,
sisters and children,
My beloved disciples of
the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam, Kerala - India,
Assalamoualaikum
Warahmatullah Wabarakaatuhu.
It gives me great
pleasure to jot this message for you today the 06 September 2016 for your
blessed Eid-ul-Adha programme on 11 September
2016 to 12 September 2016 at our Mosque Nur’ul Islam in Mathra. By
the immense grace of Allah, you have all recognised the Khalifatullah of this
era in the advent of this humble self and many of you are being very dynamic in
spreading that good news to the rest of India and the world at large. May Allah
bless you in these initiatives and illumine the hearts of truth-seekers and
others to recognise, accept and fully integrate the ranks of Allah and His
Messenger of this era. Ameen.
You need to realise my
disciples, that to enable the reformation of the world and to guide them to
Allah, you all need to converge as one solid body of Muslims, true Muslims
because the unification of Muslims shall become a reality only when those who
declare that they believe in Allah and all tenets of Islam, as well as believe
in the Messenger of their era strive to do this blessed work as a united body
themselves. Remember ISLAM is our
religion. Allah has enabled the creation of Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam only as
the vehicle, as the means to enable the reunification of all Muslims. Remember,
divided we are nothing, but united we are everything because as Allah is One,
He loves unity among all His true servants, those who sincerely declare with
their tongues that they believe and they act also with sincerity on their words
and remain firm up till their last breath on earth.
Remember my disciples
that Allah has chosen you to have faith in the Khalifatullah of your age, and
thus along with this belief, you need to make all efforts possible to reform
your lives as true Muslims so that you may become a role model for others to
follow. For example, in my series of Friday sermons on Jihad which I
recently did, I have talked about those who say that they are Muslims but whose
actions are not those of Muslims at all. They use the Quran precepts in the
wrong way, and thus contribute to portray Islam, God Forbid, as a most
abased of faiths.
To say that one has
recognised the Khalifatullah of the age is one thing, but to act on this belief
by moulding your lives in the essence of Islam is another. I have come to guide
people to Allah, not to me, but nevertheless, the Quran and Sunnah stipulates
that Muslims should follow and obey Allah and His Messenger. By the word
Messenger or Prophet, Allah means the Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and also as
the Quran is the living word of Allah and will perdure till the Day of
Judgement, then the Quran shall always remain the actuality in the lives of all
Muslims in every era, and most especially in the time of a Messenger of Allah.
Thus, whenever Allah raises His Messenger, the Quran becomes all the more alive
and the verses of the Holy Quran tallies with His life, as well as the lives of
the people around him – be them believers, hypocrites or disbelievers.
Thus, the Quran becomes
once again the vehicle, the means for the guidance of man, only if the people
truly desire with all their heart to make the Quran the guide of their lives.
And, as Islam and the Quran is the final religion and laws regulating the life
of man respectively, then each Messenger of Allah who comes after the advent of the Holy Prophet Muhammad
(pbuh) is universal in aspect and comes in obedience to Allah and the Holy
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and the Holy Quran to guide the people back to Allah,
back to the right path.
Therefore, those who
claim that they have believed in me should comply with the tenets of Islam and
mould their lives according to the lives of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)
and the greatest of all believers, that is, the close companions of the Holy Prophet
Muhammad (pbuh). I know it will not be easy for you at first. I understand that
human beings are very weak and to rid themselves of these weaknesses is not
easy. It takes time, but bear in mind my dearest disciples that we don’t have
time, and we should not waste time in the great mission which Allah has given
us. When you have bonded your hearts and souls to Allah and to me, the
Khalifatullah of your age and given the oath of allegiance, it is like you have
sold your being to Allah and the Messenger, and thus, you should strive with
your utmost might to comply to your promises and sacrifice yourselves for the
cause of Allah.
Allah says in the Holy
Quran :“Verily,
Allah (God) has bought from the believers their selves and their possessions in
exchange for the gift of Paradise; they fight in the way of Allah; they kill,
and are killed; that is a promise binding upon Allah in the Torah, and the
Gospel, and the Quran; and who fulfills his convenant truer than Allah? So
rejoice in the bargain you have made with Him; that is the mighty triumph.” (At-Taubah 9: 111).
Your time is precious,
and every second which you devote to Allah and His cause shall NEVER be in
vain. Remember that this world is only a temporary abode. We are only
travellers of few days in this world and our true abode is to be near to Allah,
nearest to His presence, to His throne. More than that, you should strive to
make your hearts the dwelling place of Allah, the real Mosque of devotion, a
real Ka’aba Shareef. Remember when Allah is with you, everything is with you,
but when Allah is not with you, nothing is with you.
To say that you believe
is really easy but to act on that belief and to sacrifice for that belief is
another. Fortunate are those who for the sake of Allah disregard the faults and
weaknesses of their brethrens in faith and come together and give precious
advices to each other so that as a consolidated front, they act as a real and
unbreakable shield for Islam, for Allah, for the Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)
and in your era, this humble self the Khalifatullah, Muhyiuddin, Amir’ul
Mumineen.
When Allah has made me
your leader, your guide, He has also reserved trials in faith for you, and also
the greatest of good rewards. Fortunate are those who accept to strive to be
steadfast in His faith, who mould their lives according to the divine
instructions, according to the Quran and the precious advices of their
God-given chosen Messenger and Guide of this era.
I commend the Deen
works and tabligh initiatives of Mukarram Amir Jamaluddin Sahib, Mukarram Amir
Thahir Sahib, Mukarram Fazil Jamal Sahib, Janab Hariz Sahib, Janab Salim Sahib,
Janab Shamsuddin Sahib of Palakkad, Janab Shamsuddin of Kodungallur, Janab
Sulfikar Ali Sahib, Janab Azim Ahmad Sahib, Janab Rasheed Sahib and I remember
all those of my disciples who have health problems, may Allah give you
steadfastness in these times and help you to overcome your handicaps and help
the cause of Allah in whatever way you can, be it in translations, financial
sacrifices and tabligh ventures, according to your capacities and abilities.
Bear in mind that even
one rupee that you save for the cause of Allah yields many rewards. The more
you contribute, according to your means, you more Allah shall be happy with
you. Help the cause of Allah, and Allah shall help you, shall make your life
better. Remember, Allah tries hard those whom He loves best. Therefore
fortunate are those of you who despite trials and tribulations in your lives,
you do not forget your promises and engagement to Allah and fulfil your duties
to Allah and the cause of Allah and His Jamaat – the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam –
in the best of ways.
I urge the rest of my
disciples – the fact that I have not mentioned your names does not mean that
you are out of my heart, thoughts and prayers. No. On the contrary, my prayers
are doubled and even trebled for you so that Allah blesses you with such
opportunities to serve His cause in the best of ways. I pray all the more for
you so that Allah may give you the blessings and abilities to give the most out
of you so that you may accede to the presence of Allah and His satisfaction.
Speaking of which, I urge the ladies also to give their best to help the cause
of Islam, and the Divine Manifestation of this era. Continue with your
translations works. I invite you to contribute articles and translations in
your languages, as well as in English if you can to propagate the truth to the
people of the world.
Women have a special
place in the Present Divine Manifestation and Islam as a whole. The value of a
girl and woman is inestimable. The contribution they make to the cause of Islam
is precious, priceless. I urge all my female disciples, young and old to devote
your time to help the cause of Islam. Your advices to the men of the Divine
Manifestation, your contributions in whatever way you can shall be able to make
the cause of Allah in the form of the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam leap further in
progress. You are the hope of today and that of tomorrow. Learn from the past –
from the examples of the best of women of the religion of Allah – and keep on sewing
firm the clothes of the Divine Manifestation, that is, through your prayers,
piety and contribution and helping your husbands and fathers and the Jamaat as
a whole to enable that unity and prosperity.
All in all, each one of
you of my disciples are alive in my heart. Once you have taken the oath of
allegiance, you have become close to me, but like I have told you at the
beginning, with that oath begins a new life for you wherein Allah enables you
the opportunity to mould your lives into those of the best of people so that
you may become a role model for others to follow.
The life of my beloved
master Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh) and even those of the past prophets and that of
Hazrat Massih Ma’ud Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) were not easy. They had to deal
with many obstacles and one of these obstacles were hypocrites also. I know
very well that I am not an exception to the rule, but my dear ones, I am but a
giver of glad tidings and warner. I cannot change hearts. Those who integrate
the Divine Manifestation, then leave it, unfortunate are they, and even those
who say that they are my disciples on their tongues but they do not comply to
the Quran and Sunnah as well as to my divinely-sent advices and instructions and
they harbour plans to ruin the Divine Manifestation, then Allah shall not help
them to destroy His Plan. They shall be annihilated, unless they repent and
reform their conducts. I am talking for the present Divine Manifestation from
the first moment Allah raised me up till my last breath on this earth. My
lifetime on this earth is a Unique and Blessed Era in itself, and those who
gain and live to the fullest this blessed Laila-tul-Qadr (Night of
Destiny) shall be able to live forever in the love of Allah.
Oh my dearest
disciples, don’t you want to live forever in the love of Allah ? Then be
sincere in your Bai’at and reform yourselves throughout first, for then
my dear ones, the light-bearers of Allah, you shall become the niche of the
signs and miracles of Allah to others. When they shall take a look at you, they
shall see the light of Allah manifesting and they shall see your truthfulness
and the truth of our cause clearly, and without any apprehension, they shall
integrate the fold of Islam, with a joyful heart. Insha-Allah.
I long to see all my
disciples in Kerala, Tamil Nadu and the rest of India and the world as true Muslims,
nearest to Allah. I have come to guide you to Allah, to get that special
connection with Allah, and thus how happy I shall be to know that my disciples
reach to their destination safe and sound with the great blessings of Allah. Insha-Allah.
How wonderful will that be. Oh Allah, enable this wish and mission of mine
to bear its fruits during my lifetime itself, and also after my departure from
this world, and enable my sincere and pure companions, disciples and followers to
be the true inheritors of Your favours up till the Last Day. Ameen.
May Allah bless this
Eid gathering of yours and enable you to meet more frequently and in unity,
unaffected by any kind of evil or doubt or jealousy – save the blessed
competition to do more good deeds (Fastabikul Khairaat) – to gain the
immense pleasure of Allah and to guide others to obtain the same great favours
which you have got in this blessed era of Divine Manifestation. Ameen, Summa
Ameen, Ya Rabbul Aalameen.
Remember, the Divine
Manifestation, this Jamaat – the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam is pure and is for
Allah. Always remain sincere in it so that Allah may be pleased with you, for
if not, Allah shall devise His plans to enable righteousness to prevail over
the designs of those among men who are corrupted. I beseech you, never to
become corrupt and to always uphold the true Islam within you and in your every
deed and word. May Allah enable you to do so. Ameen. Summa Ameen, Ya Rabbal
Aalameen.
I wish to all of you an
Eid-ul-Adha Mubarak. May the Spirit
of the Sacrifice of Hazrat Ibrahim (as), Hazrat Ismail (as) and Hazrat Hajra
(ra) be forever etched in your heart and soul. Ameen.
