‘When We told the angels, ‘Bow
down before Adam,’ they all bowed.’
(2:35)
In the Islamic spiritual realm, Hazrat Adam is the first Khalifatullah; the human who was taught the true values of life and elevated by God Himself as the perfect exemplar of his people. Like Adam, the prophets who followed him in history, and all other Elects of God are the embodiment of Divine vicegerency; a serious responsibility to ascertain divine will and strive to imbibe divine attributes; sent in this world to be the guiding lights for humanity in every era. Indeed, Allah (swt) raises an Adam, His Khalifatullah, in every era. As the Qur’an notes, ‘Allah chooses whom He pleases (for exclusive nearness) in His presence, and shows the path to come towards Himself to everyone who turns (towards Allah) heartily.’ (42:14)
These
exemplary servants of God are the teachers of mankind; they are the carriers of the Divine Light of
justice, compassion and love for fellow human beings and all other creatures in this world. As the trustee of the Divine mission on earth, such a saintly figure is worthy
of the respect, esteem, affection, assistance, submission and obedience of
their fellow beings. When such a servant of God appears, it is likely
that devoted hearts will bend down before him in veneration, and offer their
respects and offerings to him. At one
level, it is this conceptual principle that the aforesaid Qur’anic verse in Surah Al Baqarah embodies within it.
Alhamdulillah,
Summa Alhamdulillah, we are pleased to bring to the
attention of everyone a sublime sign heralding the special spiritual status of
the Khalifatullah of this era. On Monday, 18 April 2022, in the North of
Mauritius in the afternoon, a Great Divine Sign unveiled on the person of
Allah's Messenger, the Khalifatullah of this era, Hazrat Muhyi-ud-Din Munir A.
Azim (aba).
Describing the incident/ the
event of the great Sign, Hazrat Tayyeba Shaheeda Aliah Nasrine writes:
‘While he was walking on the
main road, suddenly a man came and cried out, addressing Huzur as: ‘JAI JAI GURU DEV, JAI JAI GURU DEV. His
cry attracted other people, who in turn also cried out JAI JAI GURU DEV, and they all fell down in prostration before Huzur.
They cried out: ‘GURU DEV KI... JAI!’
