Eid-ul-Fitr 2022

 

Alhamdulillah, Summa Alhamdulillah, the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam International celebrated Eid-ul-Fitr yesterday, 01 Shawwal 1443 AH~ 03 May 2022 in Kerala and Tamil Nadu and elsewhere in India and beyond. Brothers, sisters and children of the Jamaat assembled, inter alia, at the historic Noor’ul Islam Masjid, Mathra and at the Siraj-um-Munir Masjid, VK Puram.


In a special message on the occasion to his disciples in India, Imam- Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam Hazrat Khalifatullah Al Muhyi-ud-Din Munir Ahmad Azim Saheb (aba) of Mauritius  conveyed 'Eid Mubarak' to everyone, and also his appreciation for all those who fervently sacrifice their personal comforts in favour of the call of Allah and His Prophet (sa) and also of His Khalifatullah (aba) in this era, thereby seeking to revive and renew the sacred teachings and practices of Islam for the benefit of all humanity. Hazrat Saheb (aba) exhorts true believers in this era to hold the Faith and its obligations far above their mundane personal interests; to do persistent striving to create an altogether 'new' world in our own social circles - a world respectful of spiritual values, like in the times of the Holy Prophet (sa). Hazrat Khalifatullah (aba) points out that believers in this era can renew the grand legacy of the Sahaba-i-Kiraam by becoming model exemplars of faith in their own everyday lives, Insha Allah, Aameen.

Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Rahim

 

Amir Sahib, Naib Amir Sahib and all my dear disciples of the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam of India,

Assalamoualaikum Warahmatullah Wabarakaatuhu.

 

Alhamdulillah, Summa Alhamdulillah, it gives me great pleasure to address you few words on this blessed and happy occasion of the Eid-ul-Fitr in both the Sirajum Mosque and Noor’ul Islam Masjid as well as the various places where our members are celebrating their Eid.

 

Eid Day is a day of rejoice, such rejoice which bring about peace and contentment in the heart after one month of sacrifice in fasting and staying away from certain licit [Halal] deeds which Allah has forbidden during the blessed month of Ramadan from sunrise till sunset.

 

And what is more pleasant is that the believers get the opportunity to reunite as one family of Islam and to reinforce the ties of brotherhood and sisterhood and to pray to Allah and perform the Eid Salat and listen to the Eid Khutba with peace and the renewed zeal and will to continue with the same training which Ramadan taught us for the next eleven months until we encounter the next Ramadan Insha-Allah, Ta’ala Al-Aziz.


It was indeed a great pleasure for me to learn that following my advice [after getting divine instructions about the same] and despite the pandemic under way and family obligations, some of my dear disciples in Tamil Nadu have left the comforts of their homes and gone to the Sirajum Munir Mosque for the Ittikaaf [Spiritual Retreat] to maximise the blessings of the Ramadan and to get the Lailatul Qadr. Such are those who gave precedence to Allah before their own family. Masha-Allah.

 

This reminds me about the words of the Sahaba Karaam, whenever they addressed Nabi Kareem Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh), saying: May my father and mother be sacrificed for you, O Messenger of Allah!

 

Moreover, the companions, especially Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (ra), when he wanted to give his possessions to the service of Islam and the Prophet of Allah (pbuh), he used to give everything he had at that time, so much so that Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh) asked him what he left behind for his own family? And what a beautiful reply he gave the prophet when he stated: “I have left for them, Allah and His Messenger!”

 

What greater reward do you seek O my disciples? You leave everything for the cause of Allah, for Allah only. Indeed, whatever you do with a pure intention, Allah doubles and even trebles or multiply it more and more, as your reward. And when you seek Allah with true devotion, Allah unveils Himself to you in different ways.

 

Remember, a Messenger of Allah, a Khalifatullah comes to make you know Allah, not him personally. He comes to show you the right way to Allah, by giving you the right instructions for your own spiritual and everlasting betterment.

 

Nobody is perfect, but this is not also a reason to remain in that state and not strive to perfect yourselves in your physical, moral and spiritual states. Remember that your time in the Divine Manifestation of this age is a training for you to perfect your Islam, to enable you to become true Muslims, just like Ramadan was a training for you for the same reasons. But in this era, the Divine Manifestation during the lifetime of a Messenger of Allah is a continuous Ramadan where you have to fight with your own Nafs (passions) and develop pure intentions for the cause of Islam. Blessed are those who strive to develop such spirit of sacrifices, even if be little, financially speaking, but devoting lots of time for the works of Deen.

 

Your efforts in the path of Allah is what will make Islam, Sahih al Islam progress further, where more and more people will get the message of Tawheed [Unicity of Allah].

 

So, Eid Mubarak to you all who have obeyed the divine instructions and Mubarak Ho to all the Ittikaafis as well who have not hesitate to leave their homes and family to devote themselves to Allah in the mosque and house. May Allah accept your sacrifices and give you the blessings of the Lailatul Qadr and enable you to help the cause of Islam in magnificent ways.

 

And Mubarak Ho to Nooruddin Sahib and Sofiya Sahiba on the birth of your baby girl. May Allah bless your home and lives, as well as the homes and lives of all my sincere disciples and enable you and your children to remain on the right path and to show the right path of Islam to others who will come afterwards. Ameen, Summa Ameen, Ya Rabbul Aalameen. Once again Eid-ul-Fitr Mubarak.

 

Assalamoualaikum Warahmatullah Wabarakaatuhu.
