'The world is not our Home'

 

'Everyone on earth perishes; all that remains is the Face of your Lord, full of majesty, bestowing honour'. (55: 27-28) 


'Do not call out to any other god beside God, for there is no god but Him. Everything will perish except His face. His is the judgement and to Him you shall all be brought back.' (28:89)


People love the fleeting life: family and children, wealth and riches, power and authority, fame and grandeur, etc. They forget God and ignore His commandments when they chase transient pleasures here at the cost of enduring blessings in the Hereafter. Hence, elects of God appear with a mission- to call our individual and collective attention to the true purpose and correct values of life; inviting us to choose wisely in our time in this transient world; urging us in the strongest terms to do good and resist evil, and recognize the impermanence of earthly life, so as to benefit us in the world to come. 

 

As the Divine Manifestation of our times in the person of Imam- Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam International Hazrat Muhyiuddin Al Khalifatullah Munir Ahmad Azim (aba) of Mauritius completes 23 years this month, the Divinely-inspired messages shared with the world by the Mujaddid of the 15th Century of Islam renews the enduring Highway to God, providing spiritual guidance and enlightenment to seekers of higher wisdom and true values of life.  Reproduced Below is such a Divinely-inspired message received by Hazrat Munir A. Azim (aba) on 14 May 2002 at 8.45 pm (Zikr Time):  

 

This universe is unstable and perishable. It is continually changing. It will not be tomorrow as it is today. There is no stability in this world and in Jamaat-Ahmadiyya worldwide. It is the land of death, and like a house of sand it can be destroyed at any time.

 

Whatever is seen here is some day going to perish. Only my Rab will still alive, everything will destroy. Every object in the universe is short-lived; kings, political leaders, spiritual leaders, houses, palaces, those who dwell in them, all the objects of the universe, gold and silver and their wearers, this body, clothes, men and women, all are perishable. The people have forgotten my Lord (Rab), my Allah because of these entanglements. No one really deserves to be loved here. Many have gone, some are going and the rest are ready to go.

 

Neither wealth, wife, riches, house nor anything else will accompany us.


Know this for certain. We see people die everyday, but live in the hope that we will live for ever.


What can be more strange? These things, people do not realise,


They pretend superior than the others and they mock by telling how stupid you are


And believe in so-call Revelation, they do not realise that you are a guest for the night,


But hope to live for ages.


The powers, houses and riches, which you see, are like the shade, cast by a tree,


Which is constantly moving.

 

He who remembers death remains free from the bondage of the world and cannot do any evil action. Human birth is an opportunity for meeting my Rab, my Allah. He who does not engage in devotion to my Rab (Lord) and does not practice the Sunnah of my Beloved Prophet (saw) wastes his life. Human birth is rare. Do not waste it. Spend it in zikr, prayer, help the poor and needy person, all this is the devotion to my Allah, my Rab (Lord).

 

In this perishable body only the soul is real and immortal and one should care for it with true devotion.
