The Muhyi-ud-Din Al Khalifatullah Hadhrat Munir Ahmad Azim Saheb (atba) of Mauritius, along with the blessed members of the Household, recently visited India, January 16-30, 2017. During this tour of India, the Khalifatullah (atba) freely met with his sincere disciples and well-wishers and on several occasions, even addressed the members of the public, bestowing them with his august prayers and generous advices on leading an ethically-oriented, spiritually-rooted harmonious life under Islam.
What does it mean to live in the time of a Vicegerent of Allah, a Divine Elect, a Renewer of Faith? How does such belief in the appearance of Divine Elect relate to the Islamic doctrine? Can a lay person progress in faith in the time of a Prophet of Allah? Reproduced below is a speech delivered by Hadhrat Khalifatullah (atba) at the Noor'ul Islam Masjid at Mathra (Kerala, India), addressing his disciples from Kerala and Tamil Nadu, who were gathered at the Mosque during the days of his stay at Mathra, January 16-21, 2017.

My dearest disciples who are
present today,
Assalamoualaikum Warahmatullah Wabarakaatuhu.
Alhamdulillah, Summa
Alhamdulillah, it is indeed a great blessing upon you that Allah
has enabled this humble self to appear in your time and has vouchsafed me the
instruction to come to you and address you here in Kerala. It is indeed a
pleasure for me to be among you today and talking to you face to face.
These days the grace of
God descends from heaven, signs appear and exiled faith returns to its home of
jewels from the mine of divine sciences which are widely distributed. This is a
time when the unbelievers begin to tremble with fear and tears of joy fill the
eyes of believers. It is time to wake up those who are asleep so that they may
benefit from this spiritual joy and blessing. This is the moment when a person
must choose between accepting and denying. The faces of those who have agreed
to be part of this divine blessing are filled with joy, while those who have
turned their backs to the divine truth and messenger look dark and sad. Alas
for them! If only they knew what they are missing!
One
who accepts the true messenger has accepted again the Holy Prophet (pbuh) and
reached the goal of his research. But whoever turns against him (the true messenger),
has disbelieved the messenger, virtually denying the Holy Prophet without
worrying about what will happen. These are not my words but the strong
statement of God.
My coming is really a test to prove the true piety and true devotion of those who have changed their hearts and have become righteous or those who will become righteous after acceptance of the messenger. Indeed, those only will recognize my veracity; but the heart of the majority of the Ulama of the country, be it here in Kerala and at international level is dead; God has removed from them His light and His spiritual understanding. They accuse me of heresy and they do not know who they accuse. They turn their faces to not see and accept the truth. They see the signs of God but do not want to be guided. They insult me and try to ruin me and they plot to destroy me; they ridicule you, my followers and myself and give us nicknames, but before long the wicked will know where they are going. Know, then, my dear disciples, that for several years I got the revelation wherein I was instructed by God to condemn innovations, injustice, Shirk, corruption, scheming, etc. And also to refute their exaggerations by irrefutable arguments and leave no way to unbelievers.

May Allah bless each
one of you and enlighten your days and nights with His presence. Remember, one
of the blessings of Allah with the advent of His Elect is that this light falls
upon the pure of hearts also so that they may taste of a marvellous connection
with Allah, to reassure their hearts that indeed the words of Allah, and His
Messenger are indeed true and they get to feel this intense connection in many
ways. May Allah therefore pour down upon you this blessing of the Holy Spirit (Ruh’il
Quddus) and manifest His signs again and again in favour of His
Khalifatullah, this humble self so that like a light lighting another light,
you may be able through your connection with me to light the whole of India and
the world. Insha-Allah, Ameen.
