In obedience to Allah and His Khalifatullah’s instructions, the members of the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam in Mauritius, Madagascar, Comoros, Mayotte, and India recently came together to partake of the Divine blessings in the company of fellow brothers and sisters, in their own respective places. In India alone, Eid-ul-Adha Retreats were organized at the Siraj-um-Munir Masjid in Tamil Nadu, as well as at the Noor’ul Islam Masjid at Mathra, Kerala. Likewise, members of the Jamaat in distant places within the country organized programmes of devotional worship and remembrance of the Divine with family and friends in their own local settings in these Holy and Blessed Days of Dhul Hijjah, experiencing the joy of togetherness and spiritual upliftment, Alhamdulillah, Summa Alhamdulillah.
My dear
spiritual children,
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu
It gives me pleasure to address you few words on this blessed occasion of the Eid-ul-Adha and the special get-together that Allah had ordained for you so that you may receive His blessings in abundance.
Indeed fortunate are those who respond Labbaik to the call of Allah. To register one's presence in the court of Allah and to sacrifice one's time and even other family members (who are not in our Jamaat) is not an easy task... Yet you fulfilled your duties to the call of Allah. In the context of the EID-UL-ADHA, the Hajj has been barred for us but, Insha-Allah, as per the promise of Allah, Allah will show His great miracles and show His signs in splendid ways.
Today you are
reunited as one family, Alhamdulillah,
Thumma Alhamdulillah. This is the spirit of brotherhood that there should
be in Islam. ALL Muslims are one brotherhood. It indeed touches my heart and
that of the Khalifatullah Ar-Rasul of
this era as well as my family members to see you so devoted and sincere to the
cause of Allah. Kindly keep in mind that believers as brothers and sisters
should foster love and the belongingness to Islam in marvellous ways. Like
Huzur has always said: All his disciples, his spiritual children to strive to instill
Taqwa in them and to reform their
lives to such a degree that you become truly Muslims in every way.
It is easy for
one to say that: 'Oh! I am a Muslim and I
have faith in Islam... And in the Divine Manifestation of this age.' Saying
something and doing it are two different things. Be humble always and submit to
the will of Allah. Take as wonderful example and model, Hazrat Ibrahim (as),
Hazrat Hajra (ra), Hazrat Ismail (as) and Hazrat Muhammad (saw). Be truly
thankful to Allah that Allah has guided you to the right way and bless you in
this era by making you the disciples of His Messenger of this era. Masha- Allah.
So, you are
reunited these few days to celebrate Eid together and show your obedience to
Allah and His Khalifatullah. Maximise your time in your Ibaadat, and Zikr and Deen works. These are precious tools
which will help you consolidate your faith and your Deen as well. Bless are those who have come and also those, despite
their heartfelt desire to be here, but could not. Allah knows best those who
are sincere and those who are not.
Always pray to Allah that you remain ever sincere and devoted to His cause, and accept the trials in His path so that you may be counted among the fortunate and blessed ones in His eyes, Insha-Allah. May Allah always bless you and keep you united and strong to bring forward the spiritual revolution of this era, to bring the people of the world to Tawheed (one Allah). Insha-Allah, Aameen.
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu.
