During the recently concluded tour of South India, Imam-Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam Hadhrat Muhyi-ud-Din Al Khalifatullah Munir Ahmad Azim Saheb (atba) of Mauritius addressed the women believers at the Noor'ul Islam Masjid at Mathra on the occasion of their Ijtema on 05 December 2018 (27 Rabi’ul Awwal 1440 AH). In this spiritual discourse, Hadhrat Khalifatullah (atba) encourages women believers of the Divine Manifestation to recognize their important role in the transmission of the Divine messages of our times both within their family circles and beyond. While being models of piety in individual and collective lives, the believers need to appreciate the roles and responsibilities that go with their terrain and be ready to participate- based on their respective capabilities and specific skills- with sincerity and steadfastness in the larger causes of the Jamaat at all levels, exhorts Hadhrat Saheb (atba).
The Believing Women of the Divine Manifestation
Dear Suruj Makin (i.e. the Strong and Firm Lamps of the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam), Assalamoualaikum Warahmatullah Wabarakaatuhu.
By the grace of Allah, Allah has enabled this humble self to come to Kerala again this year, after nearly two years now since January of the year 2017. And Alhamdulillah, I am here present today for your special Ijtema to address you few words of encouragement in the path of Allah.
You
should know that working for the cause of Allah reaps the sweetest of
fruits, be it in this world and the hereafter. As women of the Divine
Manifestation of this age, it is your duty to see to it that other
women also get the divine message. It is my prayer that Allah gives
you the power of tongue, whilst being in Pardah and in a
cultured manner to represent Islam in the best way vis-à-vis other
ladies, be it of Islam and the various religions.
Today,
you are the fortunate ones whom Allah has guided to accept His truth,
to recognize His signs and Khalifatullah. Now, you should not neglect
your duties to Allah and the Messenger of Allah. You should strive in
the various fields of works, like Dawa/ Tabligh and the
translations of the documents of the Jamaat, as available in our
website. Alhamdulillah, you take good care of your homes –
husbands, parents, children and other family members, but how
beautiful it would be if all those with the necessary knowledge,
contribute in translation works also, especially the Commentary of
the Holy Quran inspired to this humble self in your local language,
i.e. Malayalam, and Insha-Allah, other local languages of
India.
As
a spiritual father to you all, it is my duty to motivate you to work
selflessly for the cause of Allah. Working for the Deen-e-Islam
is indeed a great blessing which few receive or take the step forward
to hold firm to. Those who receive the blessings of working for the
cause of Allah are indeed fortunate because their sacrifices and
dedication shall NEVER be in
vain. Allah will illumine them and show them the right path and bring
them close to Him.
The
goal of a true believer is indeed Allah. Therefore, each woman and
girl of the Divine Manifestation should strive to become a model of
piety and to work hard to make ISLAM, through the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al
Islam in this era, to shine like the most beautiful of jewels.
For
this, you need to be attached to prayer (Salat) and the Holy
Quran and accomplish your foremost duties to Allah, such as fasting
and giving away charity in the path of Allah. Moreover, the Jamaat of
Allah calls for your financial sacrifices in accomplishing the
projects of the Jamaat, such as publication of the Al-Azim Tafsir’ul
Quran, translation works and publishing, and the construction of
centres of the Jamaat throughout Kerala and India.
Remember,
you are now few in number, but one day, your numbers shall increase,
and more and more women shall come and integrate the Jamaat Ul Sahih
Al Islam. Till that time come, you should carve yourselves into good
human beings and Muslims so that when others look at you, they shall
see ISLAM in its perfection. Insha-Allah. Through your
behaviours, works and sacrifices, you shall go from success to
success, be it in this world and the hereafter.
Those
who are well-versed in English and can do translation works should
come forward for this work. Your help is vital for the success of the
Jamaat. Righteousness, i.e. Taqwa and the putting into
practice of this Taqwa through your good efforts in the cause
of Allah to please Allah is essential.
Don’t
think that you cannot do this work. Indeed you have the ability to do
it. But you should make efforts to do it, and when you make the first
effort, Allah shall bless this effort and give you the necessary
knowledge to do it.
May
Allah enable you to do so. Where there is a will, there is a way. I
pray that may Allah give you the incentive to work harder for His
cause and help the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam to progress further in
Kerala, and India as a whole. Ameen.
Now,
with technological advancements, everything is possible, but you
should always bear in mind to use this technology to good use, to
help propagate the cause of Allah in the world. Insha-Allah,
Ameen.
Thank
you for your kind attention.
Assalamoualaikum Warahmatullah
Wabarakaatuhu.
