The 'Sword' of Dhul Qarnayn

  

The Holy Qur’an mentions a great historic figure ‘Dhul Qarnayn’, under whose sovereign, royal authority all the known lands of the ancient world submitted. A wise and devout servant of God, Dhul Qarnayn was an impartial and just ruler who administered the territories under his suzerainty with wisdom and tolerance, with a view for social peace, tranquillity, and people’s welfare. Beyond confirming the identity and veracity of a servant of God and ‘ideal ruler’ from the ancient era as a matter of history and collective memory, the Book of God also relates the description in this regard with great events of the future when a Protective Shield of God would appear in turbulent times to set things right.    

 

Consider these Qur’anic verses:

 

‘On that Day, We shall let them surge against each other like waves and then the Trumpet will be blown and We shall gather them all together. We shall show Hell to the disbelievers, those whose eyes were blind to My signs, those who were unable to hear. Did they think that they could take My servants as masters instead of Me? We have prepared Hell as the disbelievers’ resting place.’ [18: 100-103]

 

‘Jinn and mankind, if you can pass beyond the regions of heaven and earth, then do so: you will not pass without Our authority. Which, then, of your Lord’s blessings do you both deny? A flash of fire and smoke will be released upon you and no one will come to your aid. Which, then, of your Lord’s blessings do you both deny? When the sky is torn apart and turns crimson, like red hide.’ [55: 34-38]

 

 

The ‘Ulul Albaab’, the men of holy visions and purified perception; the discerning spiritual minds among the believers, understand from the above scenario indicated in the Book of God that a time will come when the religion of Allah will have to confront the enemies of Faith before the eventual triumph of the true servants of God and the victory of Islam over all other ideologies. It is widely known in the Islamic world that the holy prophet's famous double-edged sword, DHUL FAQAR that he gifted to Hazrat Al (ra) became the ultimate symbol of Muslim sovereignty: in Egypt, Iran, Mughal India and Ottoman empire and elsewhere in the medieval world. 

Like Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) of Qadian presciently indicated, ‘The Holy Qur’an is not a book of old stories. Every event mentioned in it is a prophecy, and the story of Dhulqarnain contains the prophecy about the time of the Promised Messiah." (Brahin-e-Ahmadiyyah, Part V, Ruhani Khaza'in, vol. 21, p. 119). Just as in the ancient world, the ‘sword of Dhul Qarnayn’ represented the sovereign authority and the wisdom of the Just Way, the ‘sword of the Dhul Qarnayn’ will symbolically represent the correct path of the true believers even in this era.

 

It is instructive to note that Hazrat Amir-ul-Mu’mineen Muhyiuddin Al Khalifatullah Al Mahdi Munir Ahmad Azim (aba) of Mauritius is the FIRST and the ONLY claimant in this era, i.e., Third Millennium of the Common Era/ 21st century of Christian Era or the 15th century of Hijri Calendar/Islamic Era, to be a manifestation of the 'Dhu'l Qarnayn' of the Later Days, Alhamdulillah, Summa Alhamdulillah. 

 

Like the Arabic word ‘Qarn’ indicates a century and the advent of a man who will bend two epochs or centuries, it is remarkable to note the almost literal fulfillment of the spiritual expectation in the person of Hazrat Saheb (aba). Furthermore, to the best of our information, knowledge and understanding, it is striking to note that on the question of Dhu'l Qarnayn in the present era, no one else- I repeat, no one with a claim of being a recipient of Divine revelations- has made any pronouncements in this regard except Hazrat Muhyiuddin (aba) who made this pronouncement as early as in 2009 [See Dhul Qarnain: The One of Two Epochs (Originally written in Creole in 2009; Translated into English by Hazrat Ummul Mu’mineen Fazli A. Varsally Saheba)].

 

Reproduced below is a beautiful Kashaf reported by our humble brother Hazrat Mukarram Amir Khwajah Muhyiuddin Saleem Saheb of Tamil Nadu on a related theme pointing to the veracity and truthful claims of Hazrat Muhyiuddin Al Khalifatullah Munir Ahmad Azim (aba) of Mauritius and the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam International, Subhaan Allah, Alhamdulillah, Allah-u-Akbar!

 

Mukarram Saleem Saheb writes in a recent communication addressed to Hazrat Khalifatullah (aba) [edited excerpts]  recently:

 

‘Yesterday, 10 June 2023 at 10:50 pm, when I was reciting the Rabbana Duahs, my wife Fatima Jasmine Sahiba was performing Salaat; all of a sudden, Jasmine Sahiba collapsed. Myself and my daughter, Iynul Misbha, helped her to manage the situation, then she slowly recited:

 

"Allahu Akbar

La Ilaha illallah....

Naare Takbeer

Allahu Akbar

Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa (saw).....”

 

Then we (my family) started the recitation:

 

‘Ghulam Ahmad Ki Jai,

Hazrat Khalifatullah Zindabad

Naare Takbeer... Allahu Akbar...

 

Then we took her to the bed for enabling some rest.

 

Alhamdulillah, today [11 June 2023] we, all members of Tamilnadu, together performed Tahajjud prayer after the long Duah and prayer, Jasmine Sahiba said to me that she was called by Allah (swt) Who was sitting and beside Him, Muhammad (saw) was standing; all other Prophets were also standing with Allah (swt). Many angels and your blessed Sahabi's were also standing.

 

That time Allah (swt) called my family (myself, Jasmine Sahiba, Iynul Misbha and Ata-Us-Salam). Before He called us, I saw that the angels were holding a treasure, something very big, in their hands.

 

Allah then instructs the angels to hand it over to my family and that was very big and very heavy to hold for my family and all our hands were trembling to hold it, as it was very heavy.

 

At that time Hazrat Khalifatullah Munir Ahmad Azim (atba) came very near to Allah (swt) with humbleness and stood obediently in front of Allah (swt). Allah (swt) asked my family who is holding the treasure to gift the same to Khalifatullah (atba).

 

Alhamdulillah, when my family handed over the treasure to Huzur (atba), he hold it up right and the very beautiful cloth covered in the gift fell down: it was a big, beautiful sword; a ‘Dhul Qarnayn Sword’ with end-splitted; Huzur (atba) carries the sword with great courage.

 

At that moment, all the prophets and angles recited the ‘Naare..’

 

‘Naare Takbeer.... Allahu Akbar!!!

Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa (saw)!!

Ghulam Ahmad Ki Jai,!!

Hazrat Khalifatullah Zindabad!!

Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam Zindabad!!

Sirajum Munir Mosque Zindabad!

Naare Takbeer Allahu Akbar!!!!

 

Then Allah (swt) ordered the angles to gift my family and all the disciples of Hazrat Khalifatullah (atba). When my family opened the gift box, it turned out to be same (type of) sword which Huzur (atba) was holding in his hand, but of a smaller size.

 

And also all the disciples opened their gift boxes: it was a coin stamp of Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam.  

Then Allah (swt) says go and call towards “La Ilaaha Illallah" and seal them with this stamp of Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam.

 

Allahu Akbar.
