Eid-ul-Adha Retreat 2021

 

In the clear light of Divine revelations ahead of the Eid-ul-Adha this year, Imam-Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam Hazrat Khalifatullah Munir Ahmad Azim Saheb (aba) of Mauritius recently instructed his disciples /Jamaat members to converge at their area-Masjids and other designated places of prayer for five days and “celebrate the three days of Eid-ul-Adha together and partake of this golden and blessed opportunity to stay as one congregation, as one family and maximize not only the spiritual food [in terms of the Eid-ul-Adha Khutba, the spiritual programmes and Zikrullah], but also partake of your daily food together [breakfast, lunch and dinner]. And on the day of Eid [and for the Sacrifice of Ibrahim (as)], like Allah has instructed me, there will be the Zaba [Sacrifice] of an animal and all of you join together for the Eid prayer and animal sacrifice [Qurbani/ Udhiya]…and you enjoy this exceptional and blessed moment together as one blessed spiritual family and you all sit together and eat from the sacrificed animal [Qurbani]. 

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.


Reproduced Below is the message of solidarity and fellowship extended to the brothers and sisters and children of the Jamaat on the occasion of the Eid-ul-Adha Retreats in India and elsewhere by the International Sadr of the Siraj Makin (the women’s wing of the Jamaat),  Hazrat Ummul Mu’mineen Fazli Amena Varsally Saheba of Mauritius:  

Bismillah ir Rahman ir Rahim.

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.
