Celebrating 'Eid' in Our Broken World
'Remember the dues of God and our common humanity' , urges Imam- Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam Hazrat Muhyiuddin Al Khalifatullah Munir A. Azim (aba) in his 'Eid-ul-Fitr' public message.
But as the world is caught in the whirlpool of calamities, when the impending danger of destruction is looming over the head of mankind, the definition of happiness has changed. The Eid which one seeks is inner peace for oneself and for humanity at large.
When humanity is suffering in all kinds of ways, whether being victims of war, or flood, or even lack of the basic necessities of life, we need to pause and reflect, and then take some serious decisions for the betterment of the beautiful global nation so much loved by the Almighty.
‘He is the All Knowing Creator: when He wills something to be, His way is to say, “Be”- and it is!’ (36: 82-83).
‘The colouring of Allah and who is better than Allah in the matter of colouring?’ (2:139)
“I remember that on one occasion, in a state of vision, I saw that I had written certain divine decrees with my own hand setting out events in the future and then presented the paper to Allah the All-Powerful, Gloried be His name, for His signature. […] To the same Peerless and Self-Sufficient Being – Who manifested His attribute of Beauty to my mind in the state of vision and appeared to be God, the All-Powerful – I presented the document containing divine decrees for attestation. And He, Who was manifesting Himself in the form of a Ruler, dipped His pen in red ink and first flicked it in my direction and with the rest of the red ink which remained at the point of the pen He put His signature to the document.
‘My dear spiritual son
Faisal Sahib,
Assalamu
Alaikum Wa rahmatullahe Wa barakatuhu
I am very pleased to read your wonderful and tonic message, and the Duah that came from the bottom of your heart, Ameen, Summah Ameen. May Allah accept the Duah of my spiritual son Faisal Sahib for his spiritual father.
Immediately Allah (swt) reveals to me:
A Gift in Bliss and Misfortune
Allah says twice in Chapter Ash-Sharh of the Holy Quran: “So truly where there is hardship there is also ease; truly where there is hardship there is also ease.”
Alhamdulillah, Summa Alhamdulillah, the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam official YouTube Channel has just unveiled a photo and video report on the recent India visit of Imam-Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam International Hazrat Munir Ahmad Azim (aba) of Mauritius, and the International Sadr of the Siraj Makin Djawaharatul Kamal Hazrat Ummul Mu’mineen Fazli Amena Varsally Saheba in January- February 2023. The photos and videos taken since the blessed arrival of the holy servants of Allah (swt) in India, especially in Tamil Nadu and North Kerala are blended together to form not just a journey report but also an excellent introduction to the inner world of the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam in the country, Masha Allah, Allah-u-Akbar!
True devotees are a sign of Living Faith. Love of God drives them to respect and act upon Divine commands and prohibitions as they should be. For instance, they offer regular prayers at specified times of the day; they recite the Holy Qur’an at dawn. Moreover, they sincerely engage in remembrance of God all the time. In the pure quest for the grand favour and blessings of Divine nearness, they even wake up at night and pray as an extra offering of their own: in the long hours of the night prostrating before God and weeping in supplication, nurturing their souls even in a state of exhaustion. Like the Holy Qur’an notes, Allah Himself indicates the standards of readiness and rewards of sincerity:
‘O you who are bearing a heavy responsibility, stand up in Prayer at night except a small portion thereof—Half of it, or make it a little less than that, or make it a little more than that—and recite the Qur’an slowly and thoughtfully.’ [73: 2-5].
‘O Ye who believe! Offer Tahajjud prayer in the latter part of the night. It may be that your Lord will raise you to a highly praised status.’ (17: 80)
True devotion to God, or Divine Love, has beneficial
consequences for the believer when God gazes at the heart of the sincere soul
with forgiveness, mercy, kindness and indulgence. A famous Hadith-e-Qudsi reads
as follows:
Hazrat
Abu Hurairah (ra) narrates that the Holy Prophet (sa) said: “Allah
the Almighty says … ‘My servant can be close to Me through the things that I
love and that I made obligatory upon him. By offering Nawafil, My servant gets
so close to Me that I start loving him. When I make him a friend of Mine, I
become the ears with which he hears, the eyes with which he sees, the hands
with which he holds and the feet with which he walks. Thus, I fulfil all that
he desires. If he begs of Me, I provide for him; if he seeks My protection, I
grant him protection. (Sahih al-Bukhari, Kitabul
Riqaq, Bab-ul-Tawazu)
Today, Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam International with a
Divinely-appointed ‘Khalifatullah’ [who speaks with the help of ‘Roohul Qudus’
at the head of the Jamaat] strives for the creation of a new heaven and earth; in
its own humble and sincere way of pure devotion and submission to the Will and
Decision of Allah (swt), it is a stunning example of the kind of Divine
Manifestations that have had been witnessed through the centuries in different
lands, with the advent of prophets and messengers and saints of God who strove
to uphold the pristine truth about God through a correct appreciation of the eternal
teachings of Faith, Alhamdulillah, Summa
Alhamdulillah.
Reproduced Below is a mystical experience of special Divine Nearness reported by none other than our Promised Messiah Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) of Qadian [1835-1908] in the previous era- at a time when Allah (swt) raised him as the commissioned one of the age to demonstrate the blessings and favours of the living religion of Islam:
A special Divine Manifestation takes place in an era when a servant of God who follow in the enlightened footsteps of the Holy Prophet (sa), experience pure Divine communion in the depths of his heart and soul, and share the Divine communications that he receives on matters of faith and practice for the benefit of the community at large. Over the centuries, devout Muslims have welcomed the appearance of ‘Muhyiuddin’ among them with much spiritual fervour- indeed it is as though they are witnessing the very return of the Holy Prophet (sa) in the new era of Islam! Hence, the appearance of a Khalifatullah- a Divinely-imbued soul who speaks with the help of Roohul Qudus- is the greatest spiritual gift for a community of believers in any era.

Ignorant people [Jaahileen], especially deviant Ahmadi youths with no real knowledge or personal experience on deeper spiritual verities in the mystical Way of Allah (swt) rush in, like foolish persons, to oppose and critique matters beyond their understanding and comprehension in the realm of religion. Such a Jahil, found all too often in the circles of Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya (Qadian) these days, recently tried to turn Qur’anic doctrine of Divine Guidance upside down through his verbal jugglery by elevating a man-elected-man [Khalifatul Massih] to a lofty pedestal at the price of rejecting an Elect of God [Khalifatullah]!
In a special speech telecast live over the YouTube on Friday 24 February 2023, Imam- Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam Hazrat Muhyiuddin Al Khalifatullah Munir Ahmad Azim (aba) of Mauritius spoke on the fulfillment of a grand Divine Sign in the modern times pointing to the truthfulness and vitality of Living Islam: the prophecy on the advent of Divinely- shaded individual/s within the physical and spiritual progeny of the Promised Messiah Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) of Qadian (1835-1908).
On the other hand, some Ahmadis do not consider that the prophecy regarding the advent of a ‘Musleh Maoud’ is fulfilled yet. For them, the fulfillment of the prophecy is concerned with the advent of a Ma'mur in the new century of Islam- in the Fifteenth Century Hijri.
‘It is He who made the sun a shining radiance and the moon a
light, determining phases for it so that you might know the number of years and
how to calculate time. God did not create all these without a true purpose; He
explains His signs to those who understand.’----The Holy Qur’an, (10: 6)
‘By the passage of
time! man is [deep] in loss, except
for those who believe, do good deeds, urge one another to the truth, and urge
one another to steadfastness.’ (103: 2-4)
For a man without Faith, the flight of time and all happenings are merely accidental and without any consequences in this world, nor in the world to come! On the other hand, for a believer, there is a meaning and purpose attached to all the events in the ebb and flow of time. He/she lives with a wider consciousness about Divine commands and the Day of Judgement when one’s deed shall make or break one’s fortunes, eternally, as it were. Hence, every New Year is a great reminder- of the years passing by, and the times coming ahead by the Will of Allah, and more importantly, about our duties to choose wisely and act prudently as time goes by.
