Imam- Jamaat Ul Sahih Al
Islam International Hazrat Munir Ahmad Azim (aba) of Mauritius is unwavering in his spiritual mission over the last two decades. Making a special claim of inspired communications that he says he receives from the Unseen, from the
throne of the Almighty God through Rooh-ul-Qudus (Holy Spirit); Hazrat Azim
(aba) acknowledged his Divinely-inspired mission through a public proclamation
for the first time on 6 December 2003, almost three years after he was officially
expelled from the Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya (Qadian). A recipient of extraordinary spiritually-infused dreams, visionary experiences,
and Divine revelations; Hazrat Azim (aba) was falsely accused by the Nizam-e-Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya of confusing and
deviating people on the basis of his special Divine knowledge (God
Forbid) before he was summarily expelled from the community in December 2000.
Although the rank and file of the Nizam-e-Jamaat left him, Allah (swt) gave him comfort and consoled him with His words and messages and a small band of devout followers who remained resolute and firm amidst all trials and chaos, and against all odds. In claiming to be a Muhyiuddin [the Reviver of Faith]; in claiming to be a Mujaddid [Divinely-mandated and appointed Reformer of the Muslim Ummah]; in claiming to be a Khalifatullah [the high representative of God in the mantle of the Prophets of the past] over the last two decades, and going on with his preaching efforts all across the world with the help of his disciples and followers; Hazrat Azim (aba) relies on the basis of crystal-clear Divine revelations that leaves one in no doubt or uncertainty about what it says- that he is indeed a man in the league of extraordinary savants of God- the saints and reformers of Islamic world who lived in different eras; the exemplary role models of faith who projected the Light of Islam in their own times- following in the footsteps of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (sa).
Ignorant
people [Jaahileen], especially
deviant Ahmadi youths with no real knowledge or personal experience on deeper
spiritual verities in the mystical Way of Allah (swt) rush in, like foolish
persons, to oppose and critique matters beyond their understanding and comprehension
in the realm of religion. Such a Jahil, found
all too often in the circles of Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya (Qadian) these days,
recently tried to turn Qur’anic doctrine of Divine Guidance upside down through
his verbal jugglery by elevating a man-elected-man [Khalifatul Massih] to a lofty pedestal at the price of rejecting an
Elect of God [Khalifatullah]!
Against the backdrop of such muddying of spiritual waters by the Ahmadiyya establishment in Tamil Nadu recently, Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam International published a Booklet in response. Entitled ‘Refutation to the E-Palmphlet “Twin Balaam” authored by Fayaz Aslam of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, Tamil Nadu’, Hazrat Muhyiuddin Al Khalifatullah Munir Ahmad Azim (aba) shines light on a number of topics central to an informed appreciation of the Divine Manifestation in Mauritius. By narrating the events of the present era in the everyday life settings of the Divine Manifestation, and linking them through Qur’anic principles and allusions- even interpreting the silences of the Qur’an to indicate a spiritual point- from the life world of Hazrat Musa (as), Hazrat Harun (as) and the Jewish Balaam, Hazrat Khalifatullah (aba) throws searching light on the complex spiritual and material realities that undergird Divine revelations in a living community of people with different temperaments and mindsets, and the choices they make in their lives and the consequences these choices may entail in the fortunes of a people in this world and the world to come.
Readers
who are curious about the subtle ways of God and wish to understand the
trajectory of the current Divine Manifestation in Mauritius and its deeper
roots in spiritual doctrine and Qur’anic principles of sacred history can reap
rich dividends by studying this book, Insha Allah. If they pay attention and
study it carefully, even the Jaahileen stand to benefit from the eloquent
exposition of spiritual verities contained therein.
Ahmadi
spiritual doctrine speaks volumes about the prospects of Divinely-appointed,
directly-inspired, holy men of faith who shall speak with the help of Holy
Spirit about the true and correct spiritual path, especially when the rank and
file of the Ummah remains confused about the spiritual path or when they need
religious leadership, under the Will and pleasure of Allah (swt). At the same time, Qur'an warned the believers about the tests of faith: ‘Do people think that they will be left alone after saying ‘We believe’ without being put to the test? We tested those who went before them: God will certainly mark out which ones are truthful and which are lying.’ (29: 3-4) Yet, the Nizam-e-Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya sought to expel Hazrat Muhyiuddin (aba)- the one who came in His name and with His message in order to correct their mistakes and show them the Way.
Tests
and trials in the way of Faith is a perennial theme of spiritual history. Recognizing
the spiritual station of a servant of God; appreciating the Divine favour entailed
in the raising of such a Holy Man in their own era, and by joining in his
mission and helping and following in his footsteps, is the ultimate test of
Faith for all people in every era. When a
people follow Divine commands and lead a life that is thankful of the favours
and blessings of the Creator, and is respectful of the dignity and rights of
His creations, fellow living beings; such a people come under the loving gaze of
God. It is they who attain the high destiny meant for those who believe and do
righteous deeds in this world. Indeed, they gain the ultimate purpose of faith and the religious
way. May Allah (swt) bless all those who follow Divine guidance in the footsteps of His Elects when they arrive in their midst, Insha Allah, Aameen.
