As the Lord and Sustainer of all the worlds, God's commandments are binding on all of humanity in life's varied settings, including in man's relationship with fellow humans, animals and the wider natural environment. Trampling upon, or interfering with the sublime Order of the Universe as Will-ed or created by the Exalted Lord in a balanced, harmonious, and ultimately equitable way, can and does upset the entire universal equilibrium, and threatens the very existence of humans in this small world. In an age of extraordinary disasters and upheavals turning the world upside down thanks to human interference, it is critical for humanity to reclaim the values of humility, justness, balance and equity, peace, harmony and residual goodwill in order to set things rightly among all humans, as well as to protect our social and natural environment.
The Holy Qur'an emphatically testifies that Elects of God are raised in every era of human kind in order to call people to the correct and straight mode of living- recognizing and worshipping the Lord, and respecting the dues of His creatures amidst whom humans spent their days in this world. The messengers invite people to their God, by explaining and demonstrating the normative underpinnings of a just and ethical life at peace and harmony with fellow beings and the natural environment. These messengers invariably advice people to remain within the bounds of the Shariah, and be upright in all their undertakings, and warn humankind against the dangers and pitfalls of injustice and imbalance, including the unsustainable exploitation of natural environment.
It might astonish people who come to discover this fact: an Elect of God lives amongst us, and His Creator had foretold him about the most important incidents that took place in the last two decades- devastating floods and natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina, Tsunami of 26 December 2004, forest fires, outbreak of pandemics, huge accidents involving airplanes, etc. In his Friday Sermon of 13 March 2020~ 18 Rajab 1441 AH, Imam- Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam Hadhrat Khalifatullah Munir. A. Azim (atba) of Mauritius succinctly summarizes some of these Signs as they have unfolded after being foretold in Divine revelations vouchsafed to him. Based on recurring Divine revelations, Hadhrat Saheb (atba) warns about severe disasters that will put humanity on a dangerous curve in its very existence on planet earth. Hadhrat Saheb (atba) further prays for forgiveness and mercy for all humanity- for it to be able to return from the brink of disasters, and for the ultimate establishment of the Divine Way in human hearts, Insha Allah, Aameen.

The Signs of Allah- I
Alhamdulillah, Summa Alhamdulillah, after the messages I have received from God on the Coronavirus and the other disasters that will destroy this world, I will focus the subject of my sermons on these current topics, and Insha-Allah I will then return to the subject of Attributes of Allah (4th part).
What is happening in China, with the spread of the Coronavirus and as well as in other countries around the world, this situation will worsen. This situation is food for thought because whoever sows hatred against Islam and against Muslims, he will most certainly reap divine punishment.
Allah says in the Holy Quran:
Wa maa kaana li-nafsin ‘antu’ mina ‘illaa bi-’Iz-nillaah: wa yaj-’alu-rijsa ‘alal-laziina laa ya’-qiluun. It is not for any person to believe, except by the Leave of Allah, and He will put the wrath on those who are heedless. (Yunus, 10:101)
Since the beginning of this century there have been many disasters; one can say, disasters upon disasters. Do your analyzes and judgements and see, and even more, reflect on all that has happened since the beginning of this century, since the year 2001, the new millennium [from 01 January 2001]. Many events have happened, starting with my expulsion from the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association [the Nizam-e-Jamaat], and where I had to face a lot of trials: hate propaganda in all Ahmadiyya mosques all over the island, and even those of neighbouring islands and other countries. Why this hatred? However, I am neither a thief, a fraudster, a schemer, a liar, a fable maker, nor a preacher of multiple gods! No, I am not all that! But I had to go through all these trials and boycotts and mockeries only because of the fact that I proclaimed that Allah speaks to me and that I receive divine revelation.
Despite all their machinations and conspiracies, Allah continues to reveal His messages to me and sends signs of all kinds so that these people and all of humanity can reflect and reform their conduct. The revelation continues to descend like rain from the sky so that I warn humanity of the dangers that await it.
I have delivered several sermons on the subject, and there is even one of my articles on the subject that had appeared in the newspaper “Le Mauricien” to warn people that humanity is in danger.
You know, when Allah (swt) sends a prophet, He also gives him messages so that he can warn the world. And then people are given a certain amount of time to reform their lives, to get away from evil and take the right path. And moreover, this Messenger also comes as a bearer of good news for all those who take the right path, sincerely believe in him and the messages of God and do good deeds, while submitting to the One God- Allah (swt).
It is a great pity that throughout his life [except sometimes in the last hours of his life] very few people accept this Divine Messenger and recognize the Divine Manifestation. It is only after his death, after years and years that people get to learn to recognize his truthfulness and believe in him and the divine signs that he had brought.
So, during the life of a Messenger of God, most people turn their backs on him and they make as if they are deaf and blind. Besides, they make all kinds of evil plots to exterminate him and his message.
Today you can realize and reflect on this verse that I have read before you. This verse should not be used as a pretext for not believing, saying to yourself that: “It is God Himself Who wanted and decided that we are as we are.”
To believe is not an accident; it is the result of an intellectual process which reviews our conscience and our state of mind and criticizes them in the light of what is reasonable, sensible, logical and in accordance with the law of nature. To believe is peculiar to man; and by doing so he remains true to his nature.
God tells us: Fitrat-Allaah-illatii fataran-naasa ‘alayhaa. [Adhere to] the nature of Allah upon which He has created [all] people. (Ar-Rum, 30: 31).
Be conscious of what’s going on in the world. What becomes of the world? Disaster after disaster, we do not see the end of it.
Let me briefly remind you of some of the disasters of this century (among thousands) because the Creator has chosen me as His Messenger since the beginning of this century (be it Islamic and general) . Perhaps you forgot that:
1. Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans in America and also shook the world.
[Since the beginning of the Divine Manifestation, Allah (swt) had revealed to me all that is going to happen and the people who were around me had witnessed this and they had written (noted) these revelations as well as others, and then If these people think that I am lying, I would like them to come forward to deny me and to swear in the name of Allah and call me a liar.
When some of these revelations came true, I received a lot of phone calls to inform me about the realisation of these revelations while I myself didn’t even know what was going on. They looked for me everywhere to inform me of the realization of these revelations and as for me I had retired to the Bait-ul-Zikr to concentrate in my prayers (duahs) and my meditation (Zikrullah). When I am in this state of meditation, I am cut off from the world and I throw myself into the arms of my Creator like a baby who seeks the love and comfort of his mother. Being connected to Allah is sweeter than motherly love. You can’t even imagine how exquisite it is. Be it in those moments at the beginning of the Divine Manifestation, and be it now, I want nothing else. I only want the love of my Lord. So I come back to the subject.]
This event proved that even one of the most powerful countries in the world, technically equipped and materially fulfilled has proven to be negligible and neglected in the face of nature.
Lately, natural disasters have been following one after the other, and reports of such news have sounded like a battlefield. But this time the opponents seem to be nature against humanity.
2. Migratory birds have spread avian influenza, which has spread from Southeast Asia to Europe. Quarantines imposed in five Russian regions have been announced. On 14 September 2005, Italian scientists declared that even the least dangerous avian virus of the “H7N3H” type can be transmitted to humans. Transmission of the avian virus to humans already infected with the human flu virus would create an inevitable dangerous pandemic.
3. There has already been an epidemic of “Japanese encephalitis” in India and Nepal, which has caused approximately 700 deaths.
4. In China, in addition to the swine epidemic (Streptococcus 2) which has a very high mortality rate among those who suffer from it, we have seen the appearance of a new unknown epidemic which has killed several peasants in the southern provinces of China.
5. The Tsunami… [the very day of the manifestation of this Tsunami, the morning before the Salat-ul-Tahajjud while praying, Allah (swt) made me see a great Tsunami which was striking several countries and at the same time I hear this Nazm (poem in Urdu): “Toufaane Zalaalat se Ya Rab tu bachadena…” and this same morning of 26 December 2004, we organized an outing to Plaine Champagne with the Sahib-al-Alam of Jamaat Ahmadiyya Al Mouslemeen. After Salat-ul-Fajr, with all these youths around me at that time, I told them about what Allah showed me: a great Tsunami. So, before hitting the road for the trek (outing), we did a lot of duahs. Then we hit the road in a minibus, and I told the driver that when the time of the news comes to turn on the radio so I could listen to the news. But from morning until half past three in the afternoon, there was nothing in the news, as if all is going well. When the outing was over and we went home, after taking a bath, two young Sahib-al-Alam from Jamaat Ahmadiyya Al Mouslemeen of that time called me to tell me about a ‘Breaking News’. They informed me about the Tsunami in Indonesia.] … So the Tsunami that took place in December 2004 in South Asia caused around 300,000 deaths. Several European countries were also heavily flooded.
6. Don’t forget also the massive repeated forest fires that ravaged Russia and other European countries (such as Portugal, etc.).
7. Over time, reports of airplane accidents no longer surprise people and become just an ordinary phenomenon. If you take a look you will see how many plane crashes have occurred where these planes have crashed and caused quite a number of deaths.
All of this, in summary, is part of the revelations that I received at the beginning of this century. Since the beginning of the Divine Manifestation, there are many who testified to the veracity of these revelations. Even today all these phenomena are signs of my truthfulness and that of the Divine Manifestation of this century.
It is because of divine revelations - the fact that I receive revelations from God - that these wrongdoers (Zalimeen) have created many difficulties for me and created many disorders and plots. They made up big lies against me.
Today I address myself to all those who believed in me and also to those who do not believe in me, who turn a deaf ear and make as if they are blind, I say to you: As for me, I do my work and I continue to give the message and a day will certainly come when you would have to answer for your actions before the Creator. This day will come, there is no doubt. Insha-Allah. So wake up, be aware of your sins and weaknesses, and reform yourselves before it’s too late.
What becomes of our world? Why do all these phenomena occur more frequently? Scientists say there have already been similar cataclysmic periods in history. In 1918, 20 million people were mourned in 18 months due to an influenza epidemic. The Bible tells us about the flood. It is said that a great decline in the morality of humanity was the cause. Scientists have already discovered convincing evidence of this flood. For example, several cities and pieces of architecture have been found at the bottom of the ocean.
And in the Holy Qur’an, Allah (swt) says : “And there is no city but that We will destroy it before the Day of Resurrection or punish it with a severe punishment. That has ever been in the Register inscribed.” (Al-Isra 17: 59)
It should be noted that God sends His warnings before sending punishments and He never sends us general calamities (earthquake, wars, epidemics, etc.) for no apparent reason.
“Never have We destroyed a town without sending down messengers to warn it…” (Ash-Shu’ara, 26 : 209)
“O company of jinn and mankind, did there not come to you messengers from among you, relating to you My signs and warning you of the meeting of this Day of yours?" They will say, “We bear witness against ourselves”; and the worldly life had deluded them, and they will bear witness against themselves that they were disbelievers.” (An-Anam, 6:131)
Some scientists explain the cause of natural calamities by the interconnection and interdependence between the natural environment and the morality of humanity. Experiments by Japanese scientist Dr. Masaru Emoto have shown the world that “good” and “bad” thoughts can change their environment, respectively. In his experiences, when a person transmits good thoughts, the water crystals form a beautiful harmonious design with pure bright colours; when a person transmits negative and aggressive thoughts, the crystals are destroyed, forming a misshapen dark mass. Other studies indicate that water contains all the information that comes from a living being. This information can remain in the water indefinitely.
After all these scourges, people are already starting to think about the meaning of all this in the world. If there is any connection between natural calamities and the decline of moral values, let us pray that humanity will understand it soon, before it is too late.
The Most High says: “And whatever strikes you of disaster - it is for what your hands have earned; but He pardons much.” (Ash-Shuraa, 42: 31)
And, “Corruption has appeared on land as a result of people’s actions and He will make them taste the consequences of some of their own actions so that they abandon evil.” (Ar-Rum, 30: 42). Allah (swt) knows best.
May Allah have mercy on His sincere servants and save us from all difficult situations, and may Allah have mercy also on all mankind. Allah wants humanity to listen to Him and turn to Him. It’s a simple request from a Creator Who created everything and gave us everything. So let’s pray that the world will understand this very quickly, Insha-Allah.

In addition, Huzur (atba) also spoke about the situation in Mauritius, both politically and the calamities that have hit the island in various ways. For the past few days, we have witnessed heavy rain falling, and as a result, as part of the 52nd anniversary of the country’s independence (as well as its 28th anniversary of the Republic), the government has closed schools and children are at home, and are deprived of their independence day. Even at the country level, there is no celebration of the national holiday.
