Alhamdulillah, Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam Kerala celebrated the Eid Ul Adha festival at the Noor’ul Islam Masjid – Mathra with a
spiritual retreat of its members on 05-08 June 2025. Summa Alhamdulillah, most members of the Jamaat made it
convenient to reach the Masjid venue ahead of time, and participated
wholeheartedly in the pure celebration of spiritual blessings over the four
days of the Eid.
In
this era, a spiritual gathering of disciples and followers of a Divinely-raised
reformer assumes importance. In an era in which truth and falsehood has become
mixed and blurred; the lawful has become unlawful, and the unlawful has become
lawful; and the religion of prophets has become a plaything at the hands of
power-hungry politicians; restoration of spirituality is impossible without
Divine manifestation: the advent of a heavenly- raised messenger is a great
blessing on troubled humanity. Indeed, only a Divinely-imbued soul can reclaim
the spirit of Faith among the believers through the practice of virtue and the
preaching of holy wisdom in these complicated times, Insha-Allah,
Aameen.
Just like God Almighty raised
spiritually-inspired souls as prophets and messengers and reformers and
spiritual leaders in other turbulent eras for the guidance of the people, it
should not be and it is not a matter of wonder when God Almighty turns in mercy
to mankind and invokes His perennial practice – Sunnat Allah- of raising an Elect among them for their own sake. Indeed, we believe that Allah (swt) has sent His special Elect as the Muhyiuddin and Khalifatullah of this era in the person of Hazrat Imam Munir Ahmad Azim (aba) of Mauritius for the spiritual guidance of humankind, Subhaan Allah, Alhamdulillah, Allahu Akbar!
Like early believers in the
times of humble prophets of the past, sincere souls in the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam International seek to revive the pure and holy spirit of Tawheed and Taqwah in this era, in the light of the Holy Qur’an:
‘All Praise belongs to Allah Who has guided
us to this. And we could not have found guidance, if Allah had not guided us.
The Messengers of our Lord did indeed bring the truth’. (7: 44)
‘And
when they hear what has been revealed to this Messenger, you see their eyes
overflow with tears, because of the truth which they have recognized. They
say, ‘Our Lord, we believe, so write us down among the witnesses; And why
should we not believe in Allah and in the truth which has come to us, while we
earnestly wish that our Lord should include us among the righteous people?’ (5: 84-85).
For devout Muslims, Eid Ul Adha is the ultimate celebration of pure and selfless
sacrifice in the way of God: a human soul in holy cognizance of Divine will and
command, aspires to move away from all personal thoughts of self and belonging;
leaving earthly desires behind, it flies high in the vault of heavens in
complete submission and obedience to the higher calling. The spirit of this Eid lies in the sublime readiness of the human soul to surrender
its materials interests and desires for the sake of God’s will, and ‘Qurbani’ of the soul is envisaged in the rites and rituals of
sacrifice associated with the Eid Ul Adha. While the optics of rites is important, true
believers will never let go of the spirit and substance of Eid celebrations, Insha Allah, Aameen.
