Poem: 'The Origin of Peace'

  

Every part of the Universe is ever locked in the concept of Peace,

From the moment of creation,

The word to have found light in the Heavens was Peace

A piece of the heart is engrossed in the meditation of Peace,

 The every second which passes in concentration of the Unique God,

Alights from the meaning of Peace,

Poem: 'The Humbled Questioner'

 

Of what avail is my life, if You [Allah] in there I don’t find?

The mysteries of Your Love have driven me to Your door,

I hold many universes in my Whole,

Some say, it is mere pretence,

Some say these are but the Imprint of Your Name the High

Which sizzles my very existence with Your Glorious Presence!

Divine Signs: A Memoir

 

[The world of Islam earnestly hopes for the advent of a Divine Elect in the End Times- the Days of Satanic Mischief. All Muslims agree that Allah (swt), in His infinite Wisdom and Mercy for mankind, could and would raise a Khalifatullah to reinforce His original message taught through countless Prophets in the past. Just like the arrival of an Elect of God in the person of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) of Qadian (1835-1908) rejuvenated the ranks of the Muslims in the last century, Islam as taught by the Holy Prophet (sa) and his spiritual Khulafa over the previous centuries also calls for spiritual renewal in the present century. Indeed, it is this pious spiritual hope of Islam that is redeemed through the Divine Manifestation in Mauritius- the advent of a Divine Elect- Hazrat Munir Ahmad Azim Saheb (aba) of Mauritius- in the beginning years of the new millennium- 2000-01, Alhamdulillah, Summa Alhamdulillah.  

Whenever a servant of the Gracious Lord appears on the spiritual horizon, there are the Signs that clearly point to such a Divine appointment- a study of which will certainly strengthen the faith of the believer, and plausibly benefit the people in general, if truth is indeed what they are seeking when they study these Divine Signs. Speaking about the Signs of an Elect of God or the advent of a Divine Manifestation among the people in a new era, Hazrat Massih Maoud (as) made certain prescient observations in one of his books on the larger theme: 

“...when the Imam of the age appears in the world, thousands upon thousands of lights accompany him and heaven is filled with joy. With the dissemination of spirituality and light, the right potentialities become alive. Anyone who has the capacity begins to experience a series of revelations. And anyone who has the capacity to pronounce judgement in matters of faith by the use of reason and reflection, his ability is enhanced. Anyone who has the inclination towards prayers is granted pleasure in his worship. Anyone who is engaged in debates with other faiths is given the power to argue and arrive at incontrovertible conclusions. All these blessings are in fact the outcome of the spiritual radiation which comes with the Imam of the age and descends upon the heart of every ready and eager person. This is a general law and a Divine practice, to which we have been guided by the Holy Quran and authentic Hadith, and our personal experience have testified to it. 

The age of the Promised Messiah^(as), however, has even greater distinction in that it is recorded in the books of earlier Prophets and Hadith of the Holy Prophet^(sa) that, at the time of his advent, this radiation of spirituality will become so universal that women too will begin to receive revelations, minors will make prophecies, and ordinary people will be inspired by the Holy Spirit. All this will be a reflection of the spirituality of the Promised Messiah^(as)... all revelational light is a reflection of the light of the Imam of the age...”  [Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian, Darurat-ul-Imam: The need for the Imam, pp.6-7,  English edn; London: Islam International Publications Ltd, (2007).

Poem: 'Divine Love'

Divine Love builds up faith,

Even when you are lost and frightened

 it gives you the necessary strength to pursue your goal,

It cures the hardened heart and brightens it with patience,

It brings the essence of unity to a state of devotion,

Divine Love gives true pursuers of truth the true essence of belonging,

It rejects the very stamina of hatred

and pierced the heart with the beauty of forgiveness,

The love devine the treasure of the heart,

When it puts forward its very life as sweet sacrifice

in the path of its Lord and Master,

Nothing is as compared to this true devotion,

Not when the heavens has brought forward this secret as the secret of destiny,

Those who want to achieve this precious station have sacrificed their all for this very cause,

The Lord knows no hatred; He knows only Love,

His Divine Love is in every one of you,

Cherish the gift of the heart which He has made sacred,

Love is devotion; devotion to your Lord;

devotion to your family and devotion to all the people living on the land of the Lord,

Poem: 'In Praise of Allah'

I happen to glance into the piece of flesh which is my heart and

Found the marvellous exalted presence and existence of Allah;

The never-ending relationship which assures

Eternity in Allah for as long as Allah exists;

The sweetness of a camaraderie
which is priceless and untouched by any evil;

The price of this love is found in Allah Himself;

He is the Love which makes the heart pound,

He is the Fashioner of forms and existence;

He is the never-ending light towards fulfilment,

He is fulfilment and tranquillity,

He is my Light, my Love

The marvellous glow of His love has touched my heart,

Such a touch that even an angel cannot accede to,

Such a level of thought that no human has ever witnessed before,

Save those whom my Love has elevated with His precious comprehension.

His Glory surpasses the glories of the deities of man’s imagination and creation,

This understanding is only for those who wish to merge themselves in that light and

Be untouched by anything which may separate the Creator with His subject.

Poem: 'We are the People of God'

We are the People of God,

In the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam,

Step by step we march towards Victory,

Under the merciful gaze of the Lord.

We need to be for Him,

Who made us witness the Glorious Days,

Of the Divine Manifestation,

Till our last breath.

In the Lord we trust,

In the Lord we feel secure,

In the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam,

We have found our Shelter.

Oh Lord Almighty we need you,

From the seven heavens we call You,

Our Goal is You forever,

We need You more than ever.

Oh Lord do please forgive us,

And couple our weaknesses with Your might,

And let us be like You carved us to be,

Ever submissive and obedient to You.
