The
Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam International has just published a new book
in Malayalam, entitled ‘Boycott? Or, No Boycott?’.
Originally written by Hadhrat
Imam Muhyi-ud-Din Al Khalifatullah Munir Ahmad Azim Saheb (atba) of
Mauritius, the
present Malayalam
translation is
by Mukarram Amir Jamaluddin Raother Saheb of
Mathra.
Written almost five years
ago, the Book remains as relevant and topical as ever, discussing
the official policy of of
the Nizam-e-Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya vis-a-vis
the Divine Manifestation in
Mauritius, especially the
arrogant institutional decision
by the Nizam-e-Jamaat
leadership to socially
boycott all those who believe or support Hadhrat
Munir Saheb (atba) -a Muslim believer
who claims he is a recipient
of Divine messages in our times.
The
Boycott Policy calls for profound spiritual reflections on
the part of common Ahmadis as it touches upon, and has grave implications for, their foundational beliefs and personal convictions.
Do they plan to behave
unjustly and arrogantly in the times of a Divine Elect among them? As
the Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya
is premised on the continuity of Divine revelations within the Muslim
Ummah in every era, it is astonishingly ironical to see how the
Nizamis
seek to dispute God’s messages in this era, with no authority to do
so. How
can they be so deluded when
they can still read the Qur’an?
Indeed, the Holy
Qur’an advices humility, openness, caution and wisdom- rather
than expulsion and boycott induced by power and hubris-
to people who encounter God’s servants in their midst,
by referring to the sojourn of Moses (as) among
the Pharoah’s people:
“How
can
you expel
a
man just
for saying,
‘My Lord is Allah,’? He
has brought you clear signs
from your Lord- if he is
a liar, on his
own head
be it-
and
if
he is truthful, then at least some
of what
he has
threatened
will happen
to
you. Allah does
not guide
any
rebellious,
outrageous
liar.
My
people, as
masters in the land you have the power today, but
who will help us from the punishment of Allah if it comes upon us?”
(40:
29-30)

The
present book entitled ‘Boycott? Or, No Boycott?’, written
by Hadhrat Imam Muhyi-ud-Din Al Khalifatullah Munir Ahmad Azim Saheb
(atba) of Mauritius in 2014, makes an important contribution to the
debates around the anti-Islamic policy of “social boycott” being
aggressively implemented by the Nizam-e-Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya in recent
times. The profound forensic examination and clinical arguments of
Hadhrat Khalifatullah (atba), unravelling the roots and branches of
this anti-human policy of the Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya, is compulsory
reading for all Ahmadi Muslims who care about their foundational
beliefs and the ‘directions’ of their Jamaat in recent times.
As
most Ahmadis know, despite preaching ‘Love for All, Hatred for
None’ to the world; the Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya (Qadian), in
Mauritius, India and beyond, has a standing official policy of
socially boycotting all those who accept or support the Divine
servant Hadhrat Munir Ahmad Azim Sahib (atba) of Mauritius. Ever
since the official expulsion of this recipient of Divine Revelations
in the year 2001, the Nizam-e-Jamaat has been hell-bent on dissuading
common Ahmadis from taking spiritual benefit and solace from
recognizing this Elect of Allah (swt).
The policy in practice has
meant that members of the Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya are to break up the ties
of blood and of family and kinship with their close relatives and
family friends, only because the latter chose to follow and thereby,
exercise their freedom of conscience, personal conviction, and
individual choice on a question of profound spiritual import for all
Muslims- the Islamic duty and spiritual obligation to recognize and
accept and work with the Divine Elect of their times.
Indeed,
by applying the policy of social boycott on fellow Ahmadis, the
Nizam-e-Jamaat today seeks to defend the indefensible. They mix and
blur the legitimate and the prohibited- to make it look like the good
and the bad are indistinguishable. The duplicity, stupidity, hatred
and sectarian prejudice behind the social boycott agenda is
self-evident in its contradictory strands and ironic implications.
Ahmadis who boycott their fathers and brothers and sisters for
accepting the Divine Manifestation display sectarian bigotry and
mindless prejudice. Those who incite people to apply social boycott
against fellow beings take themselves as lords beside Allah. Instead
of reforming morals and redeeming social fractures; they divide
people to further their narrow agenda. Such hubris will bite the
dust, today or tomorrow: the common folks will eventually see through
the gaping holes, break the ranks and join the onward march of the
Divine plans for our times, Insha Allah, Aameen.
The
present Malayalam translation of the Book by Mukarram Amir R.
Jamaluddin Raother Saheb of Mathra is a welcome addition to the
growing literature of the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam in Kerala,
Alhamdulillah, Summa Alhamdulillah.
