In a historic Friday Sermon delivered at Abu Dhabi, UAE on 09 May 2014- (09 Rajab 1435 AH), the Muhyi-ud-Din, Khalifatullah Hadhrat Munir Ahmad Azim Sahib (atba) of Mauritius spoke profoundly and feelingly on the dismal state of spirituality among the Muslims in our times. Notwithstanding apaprent signs of religiousity among the masses, the kernel of faith has slipped out of their minds and every day lives and the Ummah of the Holy Prophet (sa), in the pursuit of material interests, gropes in the wilderness of synthetic pleasures. To rejuvenate the common Muslims and thereby, reclaim Islam through providing a living, practical, contemporary model in our times, Allah (twa) has raised His servant and blessed him with His revelations and messages. Conveying this message of hope and the glad tiding of Divine Blessings to an audience that included many Arab Muslims who were listening to his words directly for the first time, Hadhrat Sahib (atba) cautioned them against hasty rejection and counselled for considered reflection on the Sermon.

A Divine Servant for the service of Islam
O you, who are present here today, listen to my words. It is inconceivable that God could have
bestowed His trust to whoever spreads his nets to lure His creatures, which
makes them go astray instead of guiding them, who is an enemy of Islam firmly
decided to ruin it, who never made the face of Islam sparkle with the light of
truth, who never spent his nights or days in the remembrance of Islam and never
made an effort to revive it, one who, on the
contrary with his lies would add to the already accumulated dirt in the minds
of men who, by falsehoods, would have raised the dust of controversy among
Muslims.
No, what is certain is that God always
humiliates and crushes such impostors and ranks them among the cursed. Since long, I
receive revelations but I did not told anyone then and it was only when I was
directly ordered to announce it that I comply with the order. Therefore, my mission is
to eradicate the evils and errors; I must also fight against injustice and
properly guide the righteous, while the impure and the proud who stand on the
sidelines; they will be crushed by the strength of divine arguments.
