He selects for His mercy whom He wills. And Allah is the
possessor of great bounty. (3: 75).
But is it (not) that every time
a messenger came to you, with what your souls did not desire, you were
arrogant? And a party (of messengers) you denied and another party you strived
to kill. (2: 88).
When on divine order I
proclaimed myself as Muhyi-ud-Din (Reviver of Religion) and the Khalifatullah
(Caliph of Allah) of this era, as well as other titles that Allah has granted
me, the Muslims, more precisely the envious Ahmadi mullahs, stood up against me
and began to heap blames and dirt at me, despising me. People who claim to be
theologians and defenders of Islam, of Ahmadiyyat and defenders of the 'caliph'
roam everywhere to raise the masses against the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam and
against the Khalifatullah of this century.
Since the beginning of the Divine
Manifestation and the proclamation of this humble servant of God as Muhyi-ud-Din
and Khalifatullah etc., the mullahs have mixed politics with their anti-Jamaat
Ul Sahih Al Islam designs. But who can stop the steamroller that has become Jamaat
Ul Sahih Al Islam ? When God the Almighty is with us, who would dare to
challenge Him and stand up against His will? Certainly the consequence of this
one would be very lamentable, because Allah always supports His Elected/ Chosen
servants and certainly fulfils His promises.
From the time of Hazrat Adam
(as) until today, prophets have been raised for the guidance of humanity. When
Satan was found guilty of insubordination and expelled from the presence of
Allah, he asked for a delay until the Day of Judgement in order to deceive and
mislead the servants of God. Allah gave him this delay and allowed him to do
all his tricks. But at the same time, God emphatically predicted that He shall
never be able to overcome His chosen servants.
It is from this punishment and
the latitude (freedom and permission) given to Satan that began the fight
between Satan and the servants of God and this struggle still lasts. Just as
Satan is the leader of sinners, so God's chosen Prophet is the leader of the
servants of God. Whenever the majority on earth falls under the influence of
Satan, Allah raises a Prophet to bring people back on the right track/ path. An
epic struggle then begins, and in the end the satanic group decreases each time
in number and loses its strength.
On the other hand, the group
of the Prophet keeps growing day by day. And finally, Satan must admit defeat.
And this will last until the end of the world. In other words, whenever the
Satanic army regains its strength to mislead humanity, Allah by His infinite
grace will raise His own army to put an end to satanic rule. As long as there
are men who will inhabit this land, as long as there is evil, God will raise
His elect, His prophets to restore balance, be it at the worldly, moral, and
spiritual levels.
So think about it! God is
eternal as is His sacred word. The Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was raised by
God as Khatam-an-Nabiyyeen, the Seal of the Prophets, and the last
prophet bearer of the law (last law-bearing prophet). To say that there will be
no more prophets after him, who are obviously non-bearers of the law, is to
deny the Quranic teachings, and thus it is to deny the divine word.
In the same way, I address all
the Ahmadi Muslims, you who recognize that the door of prophethood is still
open after the Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), you who have recognized and
accepted the Promised Messiah of the last century, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad
(as), founder of Ahmadiyyat, why do you now refuse to recognize the Elect of
God of your time? By His grace, Allah has raised me from among you, from the Ummah
of Muhammad (pbuh) and from the Community (Jamaat) of the Promised Messiah
(as), why do you still remain blind? Why do you make the deaf?
If the phrase ʻKhatam-an-Nabiyyeen’
meant ʻHe who
puts an end to prophethood’ as proclaimed by other Muslim
sects, and if after the Promised Messiah Ahmad (as) no other messiah should
come, then why did God revealed those verses of the Holy Quran, such verses
that shall last until the day of Judgement, the day of Resurrection?
O children of Adam, if there
come to you messengers from among you relating to you My verses (Signs/
revelations), then whoever fears Allah and reforms - there will be no fear
concerning them, nor will they grieve. (7:
36).
If we (the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al
Islam) must accept what other Muslim sects and what other Ahmadis who follow
the man-elected 'caliph' say that there will be no more elects/ prophets of
Allah who will come after the Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and the Messiah and
Mahdi Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as), that in the presence of (such) a caliph, there
is no more the need for the advent of a Caliph of Allah (Khalifatullah)
who comes with the Holy Spirit (Ruh'il Quddus), how could Allah (swt)
say in the verse that I just mentioned that there would come other prophets,
other guides?
In the Surah An-Nur
(The Light) - chapter of the Holy Quran, Allah (swt) says:
Allah has promised those who
have believed among you and done righteous deeds that He He will definitely
make them successors (caliphs/ inheritors) upon the earth just as He granted it
to those before them. (24: 56).
It is in the Muhammadan Ummah also that
Allah (swt) will raise caliphs (successors) as He raised caliphs in the Ummah
of Musa (Moses), such as Harun (Aaron), Yushaa (Joshua), Da'ud (David) and Sulayman
(Solomon), may the peace of God be upon them all! The verse means that they
will be caliphs just like the prophets before them.
Prophecy on Massih performing 'Tawaf'
And remember the prophecies pronounced from the
mouth of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) concerning the advent of the Promised
Messiah, the second coming of Isa Ibn Maryam. Remember his vision of the
Messiah of Allah, according to a version of white and rosy complexion, and
according to another version of swarthy/ dark complexion - the most beautiful
of the two categories - doing the Tawaf (circumambulation) of Holy
Ka'aba? Did you know that he (pbuh) said that the Messiah will perform either Umrah
or Hajj or both and that he will deliver the Talbiyah (Labbaik
Allahumma Labbaik…) from a place called Rawha? (Muslim, reported by Abu
Hurairah (ra)).
The Muslim world has stubbornly persisted in
denigrating the status of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as), for though claiming
to be the Promised Messiah of his time, he had not fulfilled the said prophecy.
But we, Ahmadi Muslims, remained firm in our convictions because we knew very
well what God taught us, according to these Quranic verses, addressing the Holy
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh):
So be patient; indeed, the
promise of Allah is truth. And whether We show you some of what We have
promised them or We take you in death, it is to Us they will be returned. And
We have already sent messengers before you. Among them are those (whose
stories) We have related to you, and among them are those (whose stories) We
have not related to you. And it was not for any messenger to bring a sign (or
verse or revelation) except by permission of Allah. So when the command of
Allah comes, it will be concluded in truth, and the falsifiers will thereupon
lose (all). (40: 78-79).
The Khalifatullah (aba) in Arabia
By the grace of Allah, the day
has come in our times that the humble servant and messenger elected by Allah,
and the faithful follower of Muhammad (pbuh) and Ahmad (as), has fulfilled
according to the promise and the immense grace of Allah the prophecy that the
Messiah will make the Umrah or the Hajj or both. Be that as it may, the
vision of our beloved prophet Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh) has been fulfilled in this
humble servant and Messiah of Allah, the Promised Messiah of this era by making
me perform the Umrah (the lesser Hajj - pilgrimage - to Mecca) 3 times,
and it is an honour that I received from Allah, that He opened the way for me
after many difficulties to fulfil my first Umrah on 20 February 2018,
the exact day of the prophecy of the advent of the Promised Son & Reformer (Musleh
Maud) previously received by Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as).
17 Years of Divine Manifestation
And this year
marks 17 years (2001-2018) since Allah raised me as His Chosen Servant with
divine revelation, which we refer today as the Divine Manifestation of this era.
And it also marks 10 years since the foundation of the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam
(2008-2018). Alhamdulillah, Summa Alhamdulillah. All praises are for
Allah who fulfilled His promise - for, remember the divine message of 22 March 2017,
when Allah revealed to me (in English):
“When you
leave Makkah bring Islam home, not just dates and Zamzam water.”
- which
makes Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam march towards victory - the divine victory - in
all serenity. And all this has been promised to us since the dawn of the Divine
Manifestation (at its very beginning). Alhamdulillah, Summa Alhamdulillah.
By the grace of Allah, during
my stay in Mecca and Medina, Allah entrusted to me revelations and visions/
dreams, and informed me that all those - among those who believed in my advent
and then left me - who will sincerely repent and rejoin the rank of this humble
servant will be pardoned and receive divine forgiveness.
So, to end O my Muslim
brethren of different sects and my Ahmadi brothers, I came from Allah (swt) in
this era, not only for the reform, but also to revive the true divine
teachings, for the whole world, for whole humanity. Whenever someone comes from
God the Almighty on earth in accordance with the prophecies, the peoples of the
earth have reacted very badly, except those whom God has given them faith. It
has been customary for ignorant and haughty people (those who refuse to submit
to Allah's decrees) to ridicule him, insult him and make him suffer. I was not
spared from it either. But the purpose of God cannot be hindered by humans. It
is the Prophet of God who ultimately triumphs. Alhamdulillah.
As Allah (swt) says in the
Holy Quran:
Kataballaho
la-aghlebanna ana wa rosoli ---Allah has written, “I will surely overcome, I and My
messengers.” (58: 22).
May Allah accept our
sacrifices and prayers, and continue to bless us and may the world finally
recognize His Manifestation, Signs, and Messenger, and reform themselves for a
better world and for their own salvation. Insha-Allah, Ameen.

2018 (28 Jamad'ul Aakhir 1439 AH) delivered by Hadhrat Khalifatullah Munir Ahmad Azim (aba) of Mauritius.
