Serious misconceptions exist among Ahmadis today about the spiritual status and authority of their 'Khalifatul Massih'. Through an incremental process of theological engineering in institutional practices over a century of its existence, the Nizam-e-Jamaat manufactured a special spiritual 'aura' around its assembly-elected leader. The institutional role and administrative authority of the office of the Khalifatul Massih has been calibrated into an 'infallible' league of its own, almost as an equivalent of an Elect of God. Today, the carefully-crafted image of 'a leader who enjoys the shadow of Divine protection' has been conferred upon the Caliph by his own sect and as such the title of 'Khalifatul Massih' holds special significance in the mind-space and religious imagination of the folks within. So much so that most members of the Jamaat today swear by a notion that 'Ahmadiyya Khilafat' is the unchanging institutional order of Islam till the Day of Judgement (Qiyamah).
Hence, most Ahmadis have now a blinkered perception on the true nature of Islamic succession or 'Khilafat'. Many reject the very possibility of the coming of a Divine Elect in this era when they have their 'Khalifa' among them. They speculate and theorize that the special Grace and favour that the Divine revelations represent at any time can only be vouchsafed to the family elder - the 'Khalifatul Massih'- they have preferred for themselves (God forbid). The longstanding Islamic teachings about the coming of Divine elects among the Muslims in every era- of Mujaddidin, Khulafatullah, Massihain, etc. and the continuity of Divine revelations through the descent of Holy Spirit (Rooh-il-Qudus) on true servants of Allah (swt) seem to have no resonance on their deafened spiritual senses anymore!

In his Friday Sermon of 30 May 2008 (26 Jamadi-ul-Awwal 1429 AH), Hadhrat Muhyi-ud-Din Al Khalifatullah Munir Ahmad Azim Saheb (atba) of Mauritius spoke profoundly on the larger meaning of 'Islamic Khilafat'. In this important sermon, Hadhrat Saheb (atba) explains the reality of the arrival of a 'Khalifatullah'- an Elect of God blessed with many spiritual titles such as Muhyi-ud-Din, Mujaddid, Massih, etc.- among the Ahmadis today with a Divine mission at a time when the practice of religion stare at decadence and decline among the Ahmadi people. Such a Divine favour on this humble servant of Islam is vouchsafed by God Almighty Himself in His infinite wisdom, and prudence lies in recognizing the great spiritual favour it represents- so that the Ahmadis may once again revitalize the enduring teachings of Islam in their everyday lives and thereby, revert to the pure worship of the Divine, rather than commit sheer idolatry to their assembly-elected chiefs.
Pointing to the layered meanings of doctrines such as Islamic Khilafat, 'Qudrate Saaniyah', advent of Mujaddidin, etc; Hadhrat Khalifatullah (atba) demonstrates the limits of the current conception of Khilafat among Ahmadis, and the ways in which the present discourse corrodes the profound explanations left behind in all of his writings by the Promised Massih Hadhrat Ahmad (as) in the previous era. In the concluding part of his lengthy discourse, Hadhrat Saheb (atba) shares the Divine messages pertaining to the looming dangers and calamities facing humanity at large; underscoring the need for everyone to turn to God in repentance- leaving aside all that distances us from God-, invoking fervent supplications for spiritual protection and Divine intimacy.

Read the Extracts from the Friday Sermon Below:
The Holy
Qur’an on ‘Khilafat’
In
Surah Noor, Allah says:
"Allah has promised to those among you who believe and do good works that He will, surely, make them SUCCESSORS in the earth, as He made Successors from among those who were before them; and that He will, surely establish for them their religion which He has chosen for them; and exchange security and peace after their fear; They will worship Me, and they will not associate anything with Me. Then whoso disbelieves after that, they will be the rebellious".
"Allah has promised to those among you who believe and do good works that He will, surely, make them SUCCESSORS in the earth, as He made Successors from among those who were before them; and that He will, surely establish for them their religion which He has chosen for them; and exchange security and peace after their fear; They will worship Me, and they will not associate anything with Me. Then whoso disbelieves after that, they will be the rebellious".
Hazrat
Huzaifa (r.a) reported that Hazrat Muhammad (s.a.w) said that
prophethood will continue to stay among you for as long as Allah
wishes and whenever there is a need to remove these favours, then
Khilafat based on the system after prophethood will be established.
Then Hazrat Muhammad (s.a.w) remained silent for a while.
The
lapse of time of his quietness, Hazrat Muhammad (s.a.w) was receiving
some messages. That silence increased the inquisitiveness of the
sahabas.
That silence announced a message coming from Allah that He will send
a Khalifa who will stand as a guardian and will guide people to the
right path. But when this will continue, people will start having
fear for the Khalifas
instead of Allah (swt). And when this fear takes place in the heart,
they will start having fear of man and they will invite others
towards him, instead of ALLAH. From the verse, “Khalifa” is based
from prophethood system. Allah raised this person with the status of
prophethood where revelation descends upon him.
We
all understand that after the deaths of the four Khalifas
of Islam, were there not Khalifas who guided their communities on the
right path? This procedure had continued till Allah sent Mujaddids
and even
nowadays do you think that only the Ahmadiyya Association has a
Khalifa, other Muslims sects do not have Khalifas?
A
‘Khalifa’ comes
from Allah
So
to understand this (Khilafat
based on the system after prophethood),
when this system is being corrupted and misguided, by the grace and
mercy of Allah, He raises a Khalifa on the prophethood system. The
“Khalifatullah”
as he is chosen by Allah. Allah raises him, and he is not elected by
man. Then Allah takes controls over him completely.
This
verse of the Quran is very clear and there is no controversy into it;
Allah makes a promise from this verse that those who do good actions,
what are these good actions? Those who will worship Allah only and
will never associate anybody to Him, that is, those who will have
only the fear of Allah in their heart. Allah will give these people
successors in this world. Allah will raise a Khalifa among them as a
reward of these good actions and He will bestow peace and security
after their fear.
Hazrat
Abu Huraira (r.a) reported that they were with Hazrat Muhammad
(s.a.w) when the Surah Jumu’ah was being revealed and when this
verse descended: “Wa
aakhiriinaa minhoum lamma yalhakoubihim”,
a sahaba
asked Hazrat Muhammad (s.a.w), ‘who are these peoples whom you have
not yet met?’ The prophet did not answer. The sahaba asked the same
question twice or thrice. The reporter said that Hazrat Salman Farsi
was sitting by the side of Hazrat Muhammad (s.a.w) among us. So the
prophet of Allah (s.a.w) placed his hand on Salman’s shoulder
(Salman was of Persian Origin) and said that if Imaan (faith) goes
far away till its reaches Surrayya, that is the furthest star, a
person of his descendant will bring back faith on earth.
All
of us do agree with this Hadith, that it refers to Hazrat Massih
Maoud (a.s). No doubt in it. This question was being asked twice or
thrice from this Hadith because Allah made His Rassool understand
that when Imaan would go high up the furthest star, Surrayya, someone
of Persian descendants of Salman Farsi (r.a) would bring faith back
on earth. In other Hadiths, it is mentioned more than one person from
his descendants. So, we understand fully that Hazrat Massih Maoud
(a.s) was that chosen one to bring back faith on earth. Then when
faith would go back to Surrayya again, people of his Jamaat will
bring back faith to others. This Khalifa cannot appear from outside
the Jamaat Ahmadiyya, the Jamaat of Hazrat Massih Maoud (a.s).
Now,
how can Imaan which has gone till the furthest star Surrayya be
brought back on earth? How Hazrat Massih Maoud (a.s) brought back
that Imaan? Through revelations – Divine Revelations. Allah spoke
to him and guided him how to bring faith into the heart of people. He
had to exile himself completely from this materialist world to seek
help from Allah. Surely, Allah has guided him through revelations how
to achieve this task. Imaan did not reach the earth like this. Hazrat
Massih Maoud (a.s) had to suffer a lot, in this field of his bad
health and persecutions.
Despite
all his trials and hardships Allah supported him and helped him
through revelations. He wrote more than 80 books. Do you think that
was an easy task to re-establish Imaan in the heart of people towards
the Unicity of Allah? When he founded the Jamaat Ahmadiyya, only an
Ana (Paisa) was left in the fund of the community. He was not worried
about that Ana, but he was more worried about the millions of rupees
which will come Insha-Allah
in the fund of the Jamaat, but unfortunately, the money will be
lavishly spent.
This
proved that at that time he knew that in the future Imaan will
disappear from the heart of the Ahmadis. Imaan will go back to
Surrayya. He came as a judge to establish justice and to bring people
to peace and reconciliation.
Adam-
a ‘Khalifatullah’
Somebody
who is raised by Allah is exactly like an Adam, the first Khalifa and
the first Khalifatullah – A Khalifa from Allah for the believers.
Was Hazrat Adam a Khalifa elected by man? When Allah asked the angels
to prostrate in front of Adam, they told Allah:
“Wilt
Thou place therein such as will cause disorder in it, and shed blood?
– and we glorify Thee with Thy praise and extol Thy holiness.”
Allah answered, “I know what you know not”.
Through
this verse we understand that whenever Allah will send His
Khalifatullah on earth, people will create much disorder. After the
Khalifatullah, a system of Successors will take place. So, the angels
did not object to God’s purpose or claimed superiority over Adam,
the Khalifatullah, but there will be people on earth who will create
disorder and shed blood. So the angels had already known the darker
side of human beings but Allah know that His Khalifatullah is being
endowed with such degree of morality and spirituality as to reflect
the character of divine attributes.
So
the angels told Allah: “O our Lord, You are a Holy Being; We
glorify You and Praises You. But verily Allah had already decreed to
raise His Khalifa, and He created him, and the angels had to submit
to His Khalifa (Hazrat Adam) whose Khilafat was based on the System
of Prophethood (Nubuwwat).
Advent
of a Divine Elect: Whither Ahmadis?
Many
people can ask me questions that: ‘the
Khalifa and the great scholars of the Ahmadiyya Association do not
agree with you.’
But my answer to them is ‘in spite of the degree of their
greatness, but they cannot be greater than Allah. They cannot be
closer to Him and glorify Allah more than the angels do. Angels
showed their obedience, and submitted to the will of God.’
This
verse mentions also “disorders
on earth”.
Whenever a prophet proclaims himself to be a recipient of divine
revelations, normally they will be upset by this breaking news
because they know that they are having a luxurious life, sins,
comfort, vices in which they find much pleasure and also they
deviated from truth, from the true teachings of Islam. They are
taking themselves to be God on earth. So when the prophet of Allah
starts to unveil their secrets, of course, when Allah informs him,
they are not happy, because people who used to lick their boots will
definitely leave them to attach themselves to the Khalifatullah.
That’s the main reason they have to oppose him and create disorder.
Disorders
(fitna)
never come from the side of the prophet. No! On the contrary prophets
are on the defensive side always and the blood that is shed is the
blood of the prophet and the true believers caused by the enemies as
they will never be allowed to be deviated. They will prefer to be
tortured rather than renouncing their faith in Allah and His Prophet.
In
Surah Noor, in the verse that I have presented to you, Allah says
that after the period of fear He grants security and peace. Through
this verse Allah shows a sign to recognize
His Messenger. The sign is to warn people, over forgotten teachings,
to announce to the believers the glad tidings of the great bounty
from Allah. And to guide them in the right track so as the light of
Allah will reflect from their heart. In fact, a prophet acquires
power and power of tongue from Allah to establish the message of
Allah. Nothing can happen without the help of Allah.
Allah
transforms these dangers and difficulties to peace and security.
Think well over it. When Hazrat Muhammad (s.a.w) came to propagate
the message of truth, he stood alone, without a dirham
and on the other side the Arabs were not interested and opposed him
fiercely but he stood for the cause of Allah. His enemies caused him
a lot of difficulties and pain and even they planned to kill him.
What did they not plot against him, but who were the best losers? He
was ashamedly humiliated but finally he came out victorious and took
hold of the whole country where the latter chased him and who were
far away from the Unicity of Allah. Hazrat Muhammad (s.a.w) spread
the message of the Tawheed
which
finally was accepted and established peace and fear of Allah in their
heart.
Khalifatullah:
Times of Spiritual Transition
When
you place your hand on the hand of the Khalifa raised by Allah
(Khalifatullah), this means that you are protected and secured,
despite your weaknesses. This is a miracle from Allah. He comes to
help those who have placed their hands firmly in the hands of His
Khalifatullah.
Allah
sends His Spiritual Leader, the Khalifatullah, when fear of people
has taken place and love of Allah has disappeared from the heart of
people, when ignorance has spread in all corners, when people has
turned towards luxuries and comfort of this world, when people are
strayed away from religion and when they become selfish and egoist.
Victory, security, protection, and peace lie in the hands of the
Khalifatullah as only Allah is responsible to direct him and to
instruct him. Truth triumphs over falsehood.
It’s
true that when a Khalifatullah makes his apparition, very few people
come to him and support him, but they also face that problem of
adaptation because they also were used to lead a luxurious and
comfortable life as the others but the difference is that they
struggle a lot to maintain a pious life.
‘Khalifatullah’
and ‘Khalifatul Massih’
The
Khalifatullah comes with the Rouhil
Qudus.
It is here at this point where lies the difference between a Khalifa
elected by Allah and a Khalifa elected by man because the former’s
message and advice will be very different from the latter’s. He
comes with a revolution, to create a new world. But people are used
to the ancient world. They find it difficult to adopt themselves to
him and they even think that he is practicing strange, queer and odd
methods to change the mind and hearts of people. They forget that a
prophet or a messenger who come in each era, his message is divinely
applied. But people are much confused and have great difficulties to
understand his move. Great scholars and great “mullahs” in
religion fail in this situation and they lose their Imaan – they
close the doors of revelation and prophethood.
So
if you are that lucky person to recognize him, someone who has come
from Allah and multiples of signs have been manifested to prove his
veracity, you should not be discourage, nor perturb, nor upset or
affected. You have just to obey him if you really believe that he
received instructions through the Rouhil Qudus. You
should not get disturbed, just obey. If ever you think he is inducing
people into error Allah will remove all these favours from him and he
has to account for that and his punishment will be doubled or trebled
than an ordinary man.
This
is the main difference between a Khalifatullah and other types of
Khalifas. He will change the state of fright into that of peace.
People will not be able to cope with the way he works as he goes only
according to instructions of Allah. These types of people then prefer
to leave the Khalifatullah, they turn into hypocrites and they become
“Murtad” (atheists).
Decline in Religion is inevitable/unavoidable
When
Hazrat Muhammad (s.a.w) passed away, Muslims were faced with all
sorts of difficulties, then some of them became hypocrites, and
finally they became “Murtad”. Muslims created much
disorder among themselves; each tribe wanted a Khalifa from their
respective tribes. The same happened in the time of Hazrat Abu Bakr
Siddique, the first Khalifa after the demise of Hazrat Muhammad
(s.a.w). He was much grieved and pained when Islam fell into such
situation. He lamented in front of His Creator and supplicated Him
through duahs. He cried so much that tears were running like
torrential rainfall from his eyes. He prayed a lot for the welfare of
the Muslims. Hazrat Aisha Siddiqua (r.a) said that when her father
took the reign of Khilafat in his hands, when Allah confided him this
responsibility of Khilafat, every tribe started revolution against
him. She said that if ever these problems fall on a mountain, it
would be torn into pieces. But only Allah was by his side, Allah was
his sole protector against difficulties. This fear and fright was
transformed into peace and security and the religion of Allah was
re-established firmly.
So,
we cannot say that there will be no decline in religion. All great
religions did face the same problems in the past. So did Islam when
especially it is Allah Himself who has established it, and where we
are honoured with “the Seal of the Prophets” (s.a.w).
Now what can we see? Muslims too have not been spared with this
declination and moreover every Muslim (on their lips) is said to be
found in the Ummat of Hazrat Muhammad (s.a.w).
Since
the arrival of Hazrat Massih Maoud (a.s) till now, nearly 115 years
elapsed, no one has succeeded to be united with the Ahmadiyya Jamaat.
Yes, other Muslims did come to embrace Ahmadiyyat, individually or in
families, but not as a whole community. Do we have at least a Muslim
sect in the world who has left everything and come together in the
Jamaat of Hazrat Massih Maoud (a.s)? Frankly speaking, I do not know
or even heard if it ever happened. If ever you know, so do inform me
please. I am making an appeal to the whole world.
Khilafat
and the question of Justice
So
everything declines when reaching its climax. When the sun rises,
then after some time it sets. Do not think that this means
Qayamat, the Last day; but the greatest Qayamat is when
a Chief of a Jamaat establishes injustice among the members. He will
speak out arrogantly and show his superiority, his power of control,
he will humiliate people and make them afraid of him and make them to
suffer, threatening them of blowing them out of the Jamaat. This
shows the declination of a Jamaat, the Qayamat. At this
particular time, their true faces will be unveiled. They will torture
the true believers.
Refer
to the Holy Quran, where Allah ordained Hazrat Da’oud (a.s):
“O Da’oud! We have made thee a vicegerent in the earth; so judge
between men with justice, and follow not vain desire, lest it should
lead thee astray from the way of Allah. Surely, those, who go astray
from the way of Allah, will have a secure punishment, because they
forgot the Day of Reckoning.”
(Surah SÃ d, Ch.38, V.27)
This
means: Do not stain the mirror of your heart with rust, passions
otherwise you will deprive yourself from receiving the light of
guidance. Allah will never manifest Himself in this kind of heart...
Qudraté
Saaniyah & Islamic Khilafat
Now
I am going to illustrate some sayings of Hazrat Massih Maoud (a.s)
about this subject, otherwise my sermon will be too lengthy.
In
one of his writings, “Shahadat-ul-Quran” p.48-60,
Hazrat Massih Maoud (a.s) said that “Qudraté Saaniyah” is
eternal till the Day of Judgement, which means that he is referring
to the word “Qudraté Saaniyah” which is applicable to
Khalifa and according to Hazrat Massih Maoud (a.s) who is a
Khilafat-é-Rassool which included the four
Khoulfa-é-Rashideen. They were the successors after Hazrat
Muhammad (s.a.w) and they were also Mujaddids.
Islamic
Khalifas, that is, the “Khoulfa-é-Rashideen”
after Hazrat Muhammad (s.a.w) were very useful and needful to
continue the great work of Hazrat Muhammad (s.a.w). Other Mujaddids
came also in each century for a follow up. All Muslims without
exception believe that Mujaddids will appear in every century till
the Day of Judgement (Qayamat).
Nowhere in his books is written that Khilafaté Ahmadiyya will be
eternal. He mentioned only two things which will be eternal: Qudraté
Saaniyah &
Islamic Khilafat. He said that Qudraté
Saaniyah
includes Khilafat but not “Khilafaté Ahmadiyya” precising that
this Qudrat
has a similarity with Qoudrat found in Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique (r.a)
who was the first Islamic Khalifa.
In
other words, Hazrat Massih Maoud (a.s) wanted to explain that Qudraté
Saaniyah
is comparable to Islamic Khilafat. He defined the Islamic Khilafat
including the successors after prophets and Mujaddids, that is,
prophethood will continue in all time till the Day of Judgement to
revive all the lost teachings brought by Hazrat Muhammad (s.a.w) from
the Holy Quran. These teachings have been manifested by man. And also
he stated that Mujaddids will make their appearances from time to
time whenever he is needed.
You
must not trample the teachings of Hazrat Massih Maoud (a.s) under
your feet and just take advantage of only parts which suit you. You
satisfy yourself with a Khilafat-ul-Massih – that’s all. You
must not think in that angle. Unveil your eyes, do not play the deaf.
You have all become stone-hearted. Just Realise! If you are found in
the Jamaat Ahmadiyya today, before the Khilafat-ul-Massih, there was
Hazrat Massih Maoud (a.s) who was a Mujaddid as well as a prophet of
God. Allah graced him with revelations and his venue was for all
religions. The door of Khilafat-ul-Massih can be shut but never
the door of Mujaddid or prophets. A
Mujaddid comes from Allah, not man....
‘Mujaddidiyat’
till the Day of Judgement
Let
me go back to the main subject of this sermon; the Khalifat-ul-Massih
(Ahmadi Khilafat) is not eternal just like Hazrat Massih Maoud (a.s)
said that the door of prophethood is never closed. Once there was a
man who asked a question to Hazrat Massih Maoud (a.s) on the 24th
September 1905 (refer to Malfoozat
Vol.7 P.119). That person asked him whether a Mujaddid will come
after him. So, Hazrat Massih Maoud (a.s) replied: “What
is wrong in it, if a Mujaddid has to come after me? Hazrat Moosa’s
apostolate was terminated with Messiah Issa’s apostolate; whereas
the apostolate of Hazrat Muhammad (s.a.w) will continue till
Judgement Day.”
So
we understand that Allah will always raise His Mujaddid till the Day
of Judgement. And it is true that we cannot deny that Allah will
continue to speak and raise His Nabi/prophet or Mujaddid among the
righteous and pious believers.
Do
you think a Reformer or a Reviver of Faith will not make his
appearance? Had Allah not stated from the Holy Quran that He does not
punish people as long as He does not send a Warner among His people?
He will continue to send His chosen ones, not man; especially when
all teachings of Islam have been trampled under their dirty feet. Do
you think Allah will leave His teachings in this dust?
Allah
says in the Holy Quran Ch.2 Ruku 4 V.39:
“And
if there comes to you guidance from ME, then whoso shall follow My
Guidance, on them shall come no fear nor shall they grieve.”
In
Shahadat-ul-Quran on p. 46, Hazrat Massih Maoud (a.s) said:
“In each century, the teachings in all aspects will be
preserved; Mujaddids will come with the power of Allah with
intellectual faculties and qualities to reform those who have been
completely deviated by Shaïtan. This brings man in compete darkness
and follow the path of Shaïtan only.” And I (the Khalifatullah
of this Era) state also that when man cast aside spirituality and
they cling themselves to the luxuries and businesses of this world
and some are Muslims only by name, as a routine, so only Allah (swt)
knows the secrets of all these hearts and He knows that a
Khalifatullah is necessary in this century.
Another
important point found in the Holy Quran is the letter RA in ALIF LAM
RA – This letter refers to the “permanent institution of
Mujaddids”, the coming of Mujaddids till Judgement Day.
All
these are great miracles and victory which the true believers of
Hazrat Muhammad (s.a.w) will have till the Day of Judgement. If I am
not mistaken, I think it is written in the book of Hazrat Massih
Maoud (a.s) in Roohani Khazain No.2 Vol.2 p.63 – May Allah guide me
on this matter!
And
Hazrat Massih Maoud (a.s) continued to write in the same book (if it
is not exact, please do inform me), where he said: “We are used
to wear clothes. After one week, they become dirty and need to be
washed. With the passing of each century, should there not be a
Mujaddid to come?” This means that Mujaddids must come to
revive and reform man throughout the whole world.
So
the role of a Khalifatullah or a Mujaddid is the same. The same
happen with our body which second after second becomes old and our
health is affected. The same happen in religion, from one century to
the next century, spirituality dies away, gets deteriorated. It is at
this particular time that Allah sends His Vicegerent on earth. A
Khalifatullah is here to revitalize the new generation by the laws of
Allah (Sunnat Allah).
So,
it is very important to have among us a prophet of Allah who has come
to revive all the divine teachings which got lost through generations
throughout centuries. Allah (swt) sends His vicegerent
(Khalifatullah) on earth or a Mujaddid or
a Messiah. Hazrat Massih Maoud (a.s) wrote in his book
“Izala Auham” p.197: “I declare myself as the
Promised Messiah (a.s). I am not the only one proclaiming myself as
such and neither am I the last Massih Maoud.” Then he
continued: “According to me, it is possible that after this
century, there will be 10,000 Promised Messiah who will come but in
this (particular) century, I am the Promised Messiah (a.s)”.
Now
after having understood the writings of the Promised Messiah (a.s),
Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, no one has the right to object to his
belief concerning the apparition of a Mujaddid or Khalifatullah (or
Messiah) which goes according to the teaching and perception of
Islamic Khilafat.
‘Khilafa’:
Misconceptions among Ahmadis
But
unfortunately, people of the Ahmadiyya Association are propagating
blindly the misconception concerning the Khalifa and they even have
the guts to say that “Khilafaté Ahmadiyya” is eternal and
moreover they say that “Khilafat is our life!” but where have
they kept their belief in Allah and His Rassool (s.a.w)? Where is the
Tawheed, the credo of Islam “Laa
Ilaaha Illallah Muhammadur Rassoollullah”
gone?
What
they are preaching are against the teachings of the Promised Messiah
– like this saying: “words from the mouth can fly away but
hand-writings do remain”. His writings are here. These Ahmadis are
pretending to be the great defenders of Islam and Ahmadiyyat. They
pretend to have got the exclusivity of the license to defend Islam,
and not others. But what happened? They want to raise a creature of
Allah, elected by a board of Amirs in the world. They are raising him
much higher than Allah (swt), His Rassool Muhammad (saw), the Quran
Shareef which descended upon our Beloved Prophet (s.a.w) and also the
teachings of Hazrat Massih Maoud (a.s).
And
you, what are you doing?
You
have all put aside, and burned to ashes these teachings, so as to
raise very high a mere creature, elected by man. Everywhere in all
houses, his photographs are placed in every corner and they voice out
“Khilafat is our life”. They have completely forgotten that it is
Allah who graced them with life. You all have put aside Allah and
mind you this universe cannot exist without the favours and will of
Allah. He created all the basic necessities of life long before your
birth without any of your own efforts and your life lies in His
Hands. He has the control of the entire universe. Even your Khalifa’s
life lies in the Hands of Allah. So don’t you see that it is SHIRK
which has been embedded carelessly deeply into your heart? And now,
by this time, don’t you think that Allah (swt) should manifest His
Power and control to raise His Khalifa like in Ch.2 V.31:
“Wa
iza qaala Rabbuka lil-Malaa-ikati ‘Inni jaa-iluu fil arzi
Khalifah”.
Allah
explain that: “And when thy Lord said to the angels, ‘I am about
to place a vicegerent in the earth”.
Allah
said to the angels: ‘Inni
jaa-iluu fil arzi Khalifah’.
When Allah sends His Khalifa taking the name of Allah the latter says
that Allah has raised him as His Khalifa and he mentions His
revelations, they all turn their backs ridiculing him and treating
him as a liar, a “Bimaari”
(sick), whereas the Khalifa elected by people, since five years now,
he has not mentioned that he received a single word as revelation
from Allah. He never uttered that Allah has spoken to him and
instructed him to do this and that. But this Khalifa the whole world
take him as an idol. Compare these two Khalifas. Think over it. So
stop mocking, or ridiculing a Khalifatullah.
Think
over the wrath of Allah. Allah has already started manifesting His
anger throughout the world. Do not take this situation lightly, of
little or no importance. We cannot know what can happen in a fraction
of a second. How Allah can manifest His wrath? Mind you, your
punishment will be doubled because you are followers of Hazrat Massih
Maoud (a.s). After having trampled his teachings to dust, then Allah
manifest such a wind which makes this dust blind you, and thus you
just cannot see at all the signs of Allah; it will be very difficult.
The eyes become swollen and unable to see, and you are left in
complete darkness.
The
Looming Dangers to Humanity
To
conclude, Allah has informed me about the calamities to come. So,
bear in mind that there will be so many corpse like the image of
Qayamat Day and rivers of blood will flow. Animals also will not be
spared. There will be such destruction as never seen before since the
creation of man. Most of the buildings will be completely destroyed,
there will be ruins everywhere. They will resemble like deserts;
inhabitable places, as if nobody have ever lived there. We will face
destruction coming from the sky. So both the sky and the earth will
be shaken till only intelligent people can recognize that this is not
ordinary disasters which have not been mentioned in other books. Then
people will realise “what to do now?” Some people will be saved
but most of them will be destroyed. The day is not too far to come.
And even I have to say that these calamities are behind the door.
The
world will have to face the scene of Qayamat, not only earthquakes;
there will be other frightened scenes, destructions over
destructions, because people have ceased to worship the unique
Creator. All hearts and soul have been deviated to mundane affairs.
Idolatry has taken form in all ways; in statues, sun, moon, all
created things of Allah, plants and in all perishable things.
Idolatry has even taken the form of human beings where they have
taken creatures of Allah as the Creator.
Those
who ask sincere repentance (Taubah) will be at peace. And so
do those who have fear of God before this destruction occurs. So do
come together for Allah is full of pity for His creatures. Do you
think you can all escape these calamities? Surely not!
.....
So,
ask for Allah’s forgiveness; repent and stay awake in duahs
and supplications so that Allah may have pity upon you all. Those who
have turned their back to Allah and His humble messenger, have
ridiculed, mocked at His signs, surely they are the best losers and
arrogant. And they are not deemed to be called “human”.
“Those
who are not with Me (Allah), they are dead for Me.”
Those
events which happened some weeks ago are really frightening and
queer. According to these signs, the third world war is not so far!
Allah knows better whether I have well understood the message He gave
me. But nevertheless it point towards the lost of many lives and
great wars. An atomic war is not so far to explode. Allah knows
better when this war will be declared, but we must stay in long
prayers and supplications to Allah. Only Him who will protect us from
these disasters, calamities and reinforce our Imaan. He is the only
one who can show us many signs to recognize
His veracity. So turn towards Allah only. Insha-Allah.
