In the light of this verse of the Holy Quran, so far as Allah makes me understand His verses and ordains me to present this to all of you - all humanity and all my dear disciples around the world, therefore try to listen to the message of this Friday Sermon carefully and pray to Allah (twt) that He may give you the ilm (knowledge) to understand it deeply and remove you from the darkness of this world, and bring each of you to His light [i.e. the light of Allah (twt)], Insha-Allah.
Please bear in mind that this sermon will be like a mirror in which you will be able to see yourselves, whether you are my disciples in Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam, or even the other Muslims from other Jamaat around the world, and even if you are from any other religion, so this sermon concerns all of us, every human being - not only my Muslims brothers, sisters and children or not even my disciples around the world but ALL HUMANITY from the four corners of the world.
You know, Satan is the father of all lies. He is the prince of darkness and the god of this world, who disguises himself as an angel of light to lead men and women in the wrong way. In these days as in times past, there are many apostles of many groups who disguise themselves, pretending to be the apostles of God Almighty where in fact they are the followers of Satan, the god of this world, and they keep people in the dark so that they cannot see [that] how much Allah (twt) loves them. They try to hide the glowing light of Allah (twt) which Allah manifests from time to time in the form of His chosen and blessed Messengers to bring back those lost souls to His fold, to the fold of Islam and the Tawheed (Unicity of Allah).
All sinners and those who do not believe in the Unicity of Allah as well as in Allah’s Messengers and all His commands and the pillars of the perfect faith which He has established [i.e. Islam, like He put it clear in Verse 5 of Chapter 5 of the Holy Quran – Surah Al-Mai'da] are spiritually dead and blind. They are deprived of spiritual insight and eyesight as they reject the truth that Allah (twt) is the sole God, the Almighty and that He does not have any partner whatsoever in His worship. No one shares partnership in His Godship.
Those who refuse to see and understand the Unicity of Allah (twt) are ruled by the evils of this world. For that reason, when a prophet comes [when he is sent by Allah (twt)] with the Ruh’il-Quddus [i.e. Holy Spirit] to bring people to the light of Allah (twt), to remove them from the darkness, from all the attractions of the Devil, of Satan, then Satan manifests himself in the people so that they may revolt against the Chosen Man of God Almighty. Those people come to believe what Satan puts in their mind and they become crazy and don’t want to listen to the divine message. Unless their eyes are opened in time and in some way to their lost condition, they are heading for eternal destruction. They think that Satan is their friend whereas he is their enemy who tries day and night, at every minute and every second, with every breath that they take to deviate them from the established divine way. These people begin to think that they are in the right path and they take the misguidance which they receive from Satan as divine guidance, and they begin to think that they are pure and have immunity against all harms and destructions.
So, the person who says, “I have never sinned” is deceiving himself. The Messenger of Allah (twt) must appear in every century for this very reason, that is to say, to destroy what the Devil had done. So, O humanity! O people around the world! See what has happened around the world. I continue to repeat this, and I will not stop repeating this. HUMANITY IS IN DANGER! Allah’s anger and punishment are very great. The destruction of humanity comes in many ways. Look around you! Look what is happening in the world. See how many millions and millions of people are dying every day with dangerous viruses, floods, landslides, earthquakes, famine. People are losing their jobs and the economy of the world, in the various countries are facing major crisis.
Despite this situation, those at the head are still indulging in fraud and corruption, and deviating the minds of people from the major subjects which concern their present and their future. People are fighting with each other, and what is sad in all this is that the Muslims [themselves], who should have been role models for others to follow, are themselves following the unislamic way of life and imitating the non-believers in their practice.
The list of such calamities and devastations is very long. People have exceeded all limits and thus Allah is manifesting His anger in many ways so that the people may ponder over them all and return to the true way of life, to Islam, to goodness, to kindness, to helping each other while at the same time reserving your prayers and worship only to the sole God of the Heavens and Earth, the Creator of Mankind, Allah (twt).
So, O humanity, O my Muslims brothers, sisters, and beloved children, and all my disciples around the world, submit to Allah (twt). Resist the Devil, and he will run away from you. Become the fierce soldiers of Allah and guard His Unicity with much vigour, within yourselves and all around you. Do good, see good and be good. Be good practicing Muslims and not Muslims in name only. Come near to Allah (twt), make your daily prayers, read the Holy Quran, make friends with Allah (twt) - not with creatures, and you will see how Allah (twt) will love you in return and come closer to you and you will be able to see your own heart, and allow Allah (twt) to switch on the divine light within you to show you the condition of your heart.
Acknowledge your sins and do not deny their
existence, for God’s pure words should compel us to put in our minds: “If we
say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and there is no truth in us. But
we should ask forgiveness for our sins to Allah (twt), and He will keep His
promise and do what is right. He will forgive us our sins and purify us from
all our wrongdoings.”
Bear in mind that you are ruled either by Satan or by Allah (twt). You are a slave to sin or a servant of God. If sin controls your life, do not deny it, but cry out to God. He will set you free through His Messenger who comes to this world to save sinners, to break the power of Satan and that of sin over us. He is your Saviour. You are in the presence of a Holy God Who knows all the secrets and the hidden thoughts and actions of your lives. It is impossible to hide yourselves and your actions from God, for God - Who made our ears, can’t He hear? He made our eyes, can’t He see? So, our Creator keeps close watch over the whole world to give strength to those whose heart is loyal to Him.
Allah
(twt) watches every step men take. There is no darkness dark enough to hide a
sinner from Allah (twt). Therefore, happy are those whose sins are forgiven,
whose wrongs are pardoned! Happy is the person whom Allah (twt) does not accuse
of doing wrong and who is free from all deceit. The heart of a worldly, sinful
man or woman, described in all details in the Holy Quran and also in the other holy
books as a sinner, that is, one who is controlled by the evils of this world
and by the natural desires and cravings of the human nature, this sinful heart
is deprived of all blessings. People should strive to invoke Allah, the
Almighty God to revive their dead heart and to enlighten the blood in their
veins with divine light instead of the dark essence of the Satan. Indeed, God
Almighty resides with him or her who strives to make his heart a mosque, such a
blessed and pure place where God dwells and remains with him or her. This is a
true picture of our heart as God sees it.
When you reflect on the havoc that Satan causes to your heart and to your mind, it would be wise that you remain within the boundary of Allah’s Kingdom and dare not step away from it.
Someone who drinks [alcoholic drinks] too much, and who likes to try out some new drowsing drinks, this one is such a miserable person, and he feels sorry for himself, without doing anything to redress a situation, but he always causes trouble and is always complaining. His eyes are bloodshot, and he has bruises that should have been avoided. So, dear humanity, don’t let wine [or any other alcoholic drink] tempt you, even though it is rich red, though it sparkles in the cup, and it goes down smoothly, the next morning you will feel as if you have been bitten by a poisonous snake. Weird sights will appear before your eyes, and you will not be able to think or speak clearly.
Below the head, the heart of man can be seen occupied by various animals which speak of the many different sins in the human heart, as the heart is the centre and breeding place of our sins. Allah (twt) tells us through His prophets that nobody can understand the human heart. There is nothing else so deceitful, it is too sick to be healed.
You know! You know, all my disciples, brothers and sisters, from the inside, from a person’s heart, there are some evil ideas which lead him to do immoral things; for example: to rob, kill, take drugs, sell drugs so as to become rich, commit adultery, be greedy, deceitful, indecent, jealous, proud, and indulge in slander as well as all kinds of follies, and do all sorts of evil things. So, all these evil things come from inside a person and make him unclean.
The Satan in Social Culture
I must say that the last days will be like the days of Sodom and Gomorrah. Not only has this sinful way of living gripped men and women and come into the homes of religious people and institutions, the schools and hostels but this wickedness shamelessly and in a subtle way enters the hearts of people by means of home cinema in the house with many kinds of films, and serials, theatres, obscene literature, and in so many other ways, that what God calls sin is being looked upon as modern morality. Millions of young people form their idea of an ideal life from the cinemas and novels only to find themselves in trouble, shame and regret. The immoral and loose-living actors and actress become the heroes and heroines of the younger generation.
The dance halls and nightclubs, too, are very often the breeding places of immorality. Allah (twt) tells us not to play with immorality, but to avoid it. Any other sin a man commits does not affect his body; but the man who is guilty of sexual immorality sins against his own body.
Don’t you know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and who was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourselves but to God. So if anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him, for God’s temple is holy and you yourselves are His temple.
Human Body and Satanic Passions
The body, intended to be the temple of the Living God, is made unclean by harmful food and filthy habits such as the smoking or chewing of tobacco, the use of opium and all kinds of harmful drugs and tablets, especially now with the existence of the synthetic drugs, etc. A cigarette may appear inoffensive to a person’s eye and estimation, but in fact causes great harm to his physical as well as spiritual body.
The habit of smoking, for example, tobacco is of those who become the victims and slaves of the devil. While most religiously- inclined people would not dare to smoke in a mosque or a place for worshipping considering it almost an insult to Allah (twt), they nevertheless have no hesitation about soiling, through this stinking weed, that which is actually the temple of God, i.e., their bodies. Surely you know that you are God’s temple and the God’s Spirit lives in you! So if anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him.
A greedy person is hateful or worth nothing in the sight of God. We eat in order to live; we do not live in order to eat. Hunger can be satisfied by eating wholesome food, but greed will always cry, “Give, give!” Greed will never be satisfied, will never be filled. According to the Divine Law [in the Old Testament], a glutton and a drunkard had to be stoned to death. Drunkards and gluttons will be reduced to poverty. If all you do is eat and sleep, you will soon be wearing rags.
Remember that those who are the slaves of their own desires, who are rich and gluttons, who do not believe in Allah or neglect their duties to Him [even after having believed] and who do not donate in the way of Allah and have the fear of Allah, they will be in great pain in hell. The evil of drink need hardly be mentioned; it is only too well known to be taken lightly. God tells us clearly in His word that no drunkard will possess the kingdom of God. Beer is not a food, it is a drink that confuses and affects the mind, so that those who drink it act foolishly. They become immoral and even kill and murder one another which they would not otherwise have done. Drinking too much makes you loud and foolish; it’s stupid to get drunk!
Those who make and sell strong drinks are just as guilty before God, for God Almighty says [in the Old Testament]: “You are doomed! Heroes of the wine bottle! Brave and fearless when it comes to mixing drinks!” You will be condemned if you give drink to your neighbours, giving it to them till they are drunk. Surely you know that the wicked will not possess God’s kingdom.
Do not fool yourselves; people who are immoral or who worship idols or are adulterers or homosexual perverts or who steal or are greedy or are drunkards or who slander others or are thieves – none of these will possess the Kingdom of God. The sins of our human nature are unmistakable – These are some of them: immorality, filthy and indecent actions, worshipping of idols and witchcraft. People become enemies and they fight; they become jealous, angry and ambitious. They separate into parties and groups; they are envious, get drunk, have orgies, and do other things like these. Those who do these things will not possess the Kingdom of God.
Do not get drunk with wine, which will only ruin you. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit. I invite everyone who is thirsty concerning spiritual matters to come to this humble self, the Khalifatullah of this era and drink from the divine cup. Come, everyone who is thirsty! Here is the divine water! Come, you that have no money – buy (spiritual) corn and eat! Come! Buy (spiritual) juice, honey and milk – it will cost you nothing. Whoever drinks the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring which will provide him with life-giving water and give him eternal life. Insha-Allah, Ta’ala Al-Aziz.
The Games of Chance as well are such attractions devised by the Devil to deviate men from the path of true freedom. Those who become the slaves of their desires, and wish to have more of the goods of this world while forgetting God Almighty and the life of the hereafter are doomed. They are the losers, whereas, those who truly believe will remain far from all deeds and thoughts which could encourage Satan to push them towards damnation. They take the steps forward to fight against Satan, to fight against their own egos, passions and turn their lives into the Kingdom of the Heavens. It is those fighters for truth, those victorious soldiers, who will get to create heaven on earth and establish with faith and devotion the Kingdom of God Almighty with the help and guidance of His Khalifatullah, Insha-Allah....
A Beautiful Dream
Before I end my sermon, I would like to share a beautiful dream by one of my disciples in Kerala, Siraj Makin Djawharat’ul Kamal Mubeena Sahiba on the first of Muharram 1443 Hijri.
While lying down in her bed at home on the night of 09 to 10 August 2021, Mubeena Sahiba recited Duahs and Zikr, also sharing to Allah (twt) her sadness at not really knowing the Arabic recitation of the Holy Quran.
Subsequently, while asleep, in the dream made by her later that night, she found a big (very large) Qur’an which stood straight just in front of her, and a voice asking her to “Recite” it, and then she did recite as follows:
“Subhaanaka innaka antas-Sami’ul Alim”
She also remembers reciting many other Zikr on the occasion subsequently, but unfortunately she does not remember them in the exact words.
Then, she found herself reciting, Chapter 107 of the Holy Quran, i.e. Surah Al-Ma’un...
That’s when she got up from this dream/ spiritual experience.
So, many of my dear disciples in the world, and also in the different parts of India – and also in Tamil Nadu – the Mukarram Amir Saleem Sahib and his family receive a lot of divine signs and visions, and Insha-Allah, all these should be compiled and kept in records for they are precious for the divine manifestation of this age. Alhamdulillah.
May Allah bless you all and keep you attached to the truth of Allah and the divine plan and to rid Satan from your lives, thoughts and actions. Insha-Allah, Ameen.
