In a world riven by competition,
and conflicts over mundane resources and other material interests among different groups splintered on
diverging identities; the Muslim Ummah everywhere also face these profound
structural and existential conditions of societies today. Whereas Allah (swt)
has willed the diversity of His creation as a grand Sign of His Unicity, and to
test the true mettle of the humans who inhabit this world, the real challenge
and larger task of the Muslims in every era is to become a beacon of divine light
and spiritual hope. In a morally- darkened world of egoistic
passions of jealousy, hatred and arrogance; creating an alternative social order is indeed a heavy responsibility: a world inspired by faith in
God and the higher values of life and fostered by true piety and goodwill for
everyone.

the Announcement:
Yaa ayyuhallaziina aamanut-taqullaaha quuluu qawlan sadiida.
O you who believe! Fear Allah, and say what is right.
Yuslih lakum a-maalakum wa
yaghfir lakum zunuu-bakum : wa many-yuti illaahaa wa Rasuulahuu Faqad Faaza
Fawzan Aziima.
He will put your deeds right for you, and forgive your sins. And whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger, has truly achieved a great triumph. (Al-Ahzab 33: 71-72)
In the present circumstances
when the Muslim Ummah is faced with monstrous issues of war and bloodshed or
backwardness and moral depravity, poverty and squalor, Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam
can play its part by reforming and uniting the diversified and disjointed
Muslim Community. For performing such a duty, formation of a moral code for
Muslims, Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam, which should lead them to a path of the most
pious, is a must. The Quran is a complete code of life and provides guidance to
man in all fields of life.
Dawah Work
Preaching and propagation of
Islamic values – one of the fundamentals of an Islamic State system – lays
stress upon all Muslims to work for this cause. In this respect, mass
communication is one vital ingredient of Dawah, the function of which is the
training of the future generation as per Islamic injunctions. The concept of
propagation of Islam itself without the assistance of modern state-of-the-art
technology bears a potential threat for the religion. Once this idea is allied
with modern information technology of computers and satellites, it will
initiate completely a new era of Muslims ascendancy. It is this concealed
threat that is bothering the West and unified efforts are being made to keep
Muslims’ brains behind the dark curtains of ignorance.
Non-Muslims until now have been
successful in their designs and the mental depravity prevalent in Muslim States
is the result of the efforts. Furthermore, endeavours are on to decentralized
Ummah by highlighting the racial, linguistic and sectarian issues among the
Muslims.
The Muslim States all over the
world are being engaged in wars and slaughter of their own brothers. The idea
is to promote the passions of hatred and aggression and to afford them no time
to materialize their goal of a global Muslim brotherhood. The realization of
multi-dimensional backwardness of Ummah and the impending dangers is the crux
of the time and once it is realized, a thought confrontation is expected
between Islam and secularism, especially after the unveiling of important
features of the American New World Order.
Pressure of whatever kind, be
they secular or economic, always have a limit and at the breaking point, they
are released. It is high time that the future challenges can be realized in
Palestine, Sudan, Algeria, Libya, Afghanistan, Bosnia, and Kashmir. In such
circumstances, Media can play a prominent role in the resurgence of Islam. It
is basically the weak co-ordination among the efforts in Muslim world and
particularly the censorship on news coverage of Islamic Movements that is keeping
the people ignorant of their predicament. One can realize therefore, the heavy
responsibility which falls upon the shoulders of a media-man, which he has to
discharge with a missionary zeal in utter disregard to all hardships.
Every effort should be made to
unify the Muslim Ummah and for the elimination of corruption, weakness and
backwardness. Efforts should be made for the rule of Shari’a and its
implementation in the society. Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam should think in the
light of the Quranic Verses on universe for comprehensive understanding of
Islam and then its use in your programs for educational, cultural and
ideological propagation. Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam should become the heart of
the Ummah to realize its problems and issues – spiritual and temporal. Jamaat
Ul Sahih Al Islam should make all-out efforts to awaken the Ummah from the deep
slumber in which it has put itself into and should forecast the impending
dangers. Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam should act according to the laid-down
injunctions of the Holy Quran and the Sunnah. Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam should
spare time for Dawah directly or indirectly for the guidance of humanity.
Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam should be eager to seek truth and be afraid of Allah
in peoples’ matter and not worry for people in Allah’s matters. The Pleasure of
Allah can lead a person to heaven and displeasure of Allah can throw him into
hell.

KASHAF:
In a Kashaf on 19 April 2004 at
10:30 am while writing this text [Dawa Text], I saw a great patriarch. I said:
“Respected Sir, you set new standards of love, you established the fabric of
our commonwealth on a firm basis, please prescribe some remedy for the woes
that plague us.”
Then the man said:
“Get guidance
from Surah Ikhlas in the Holy Quran. The remedy for all your maladies lies in
holding fast to the doctrine of the Unity of God. God wanted all the Muslims to
be one Millat [Community] but you have created
divisions among you and labelled yourselves as Afghans, Iranians, Turks and so
on. By such divisions, you have undermined your own strength. You are like the
fruit that has fallen unripe from the tree. The remedy of your woes is that you
should discard these divisions. The Muslims should be integrated into community
and should thus be a manifestation of the Unity of God.”
And he recited also a Verse
(Al-A'raf 7:205 ):
“When the Quran is being read,
listen to it with attention. And hold your peace that ye may receive mercy.”
O Muslim women! Out of the
evening, create a dazzling morn to the true lovers of God. Recite the Holy
Quran and enthusiastically translate its spirit into action. Don’t you know
that the pathos of your recitation changed altogether Umar’s fate?”
And the man continued. He said
to me:
“O Muhyiuddin! Whoso does not
manifest patience has no faith. In all affairs, the value of exercising
patience is just as a head is for a body. When a head is cut off from a body,
the body dies. Likewise, in the affairs of religion, if patience is not
exercised, then all affairs are vain…
O Muhyiuddin! If you study the
Quran, you will find two distinct and clear-cut “Jama’ats”, i.e. Hizb-ur-Rahman
(Allah’s Party) and Hizb-us-Shaytan (Devil’s party). But you are the
Hizb-ur-Rahman. No doubt Jamaat Ahmaddiyya Al Mouslemeen [i.e. now by the grace
of Allah, Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam] belongs to Hizb-ur-Rahman (Allah’s Party)
and do the Dawah work according to the instructions you get.
O Muhyiuddin! You know:
1. There
is no faith greater than modesty and patience. Lack of patience is the biggest
calamity.
2. Allah
has never blessed any person with a better gift than patience.
3. Whoso
shows self-restraint at the time of anger, Allah will fill his heart with a
Divine Peace. A great goodness lies in keeping your problems to yourselves.
4. The
best form of patience is to keep eyes open in a time of distress and to keep
the tongue shut. Whoso prays to Allah for self-sufficiency, Allah will bestow
upon him self-sufficiency, and whoso prays to Allah for patience, Allah will
give him patience.
And the man left with the
word “FALAH, FALAH, FALAH” which means prosperity, betterment
and success of both worlds.

Whoever is guided is only guided for it is only for their own good. And whoever chooses to stray, it is only to their own loss. No soul will bear another’s burden, nor do We punish until We have sent a messenger (to warn the people). (Bani Isra’il 17: 16)
