Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam
International has just published a new book entitled
“Light-Giving Moon in Tamil Nadu”. Compiled and edited by Mukarram
Naib Amir K. Saleem Saheb of the Tamil Nadu Jamaat,
the comprehensive report
provides a fascinating glimpse into a range of spiritual
interactions,
Jamaat programmes,
and other humanitarian
engagements that took place
in the State during
the historic visit
of Imam- Jamaat Ul Sahih
Al Islam Hadhrat
Muhyi-ud-Din Al Khalifatullah Munir Ahmad Azim Saheb (atba) of
Mauritius and the
respected and honoured members of the holy
family
to India in
November-December 2018.
The
title of the Book “Light-Giving
Moon” alludes
to a glorious spiritual title vouchsafed to Hadhrat Khalifatullah
(atba) in the early days of the Divine Manifestation. In the long,
mystical tradition of Islam, ‘Qamaran Munira’ or
the “Light-Giving Moon” is a profound spiritual concept, pointing
to the exalted spiritual station of the Divine savants who follow,
reflect and project the glorious Light of Muhammad (sa) for all
humanity in their own times. In the Islamic tradition, perfect
followers
of the Muhammadan Light are
people who aspire
to cultivate a direct relationship with one’s Maker and live
secluded behind the curtain of Divine intimacy. Such persons
are blessed
with the direct descent of Divine Knowledge, Divine Revelations, and
Divine Words on their persons, and their supplications were/are
almost always accepted. Such
Divinely-imbued
souls are
the living
exemplars of the Faith and as such, the true
spiritual heirs of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (sa). Devout
Muslims recognize
them as
the Pole Star of the Religion and the Way or as the ‘Luminous Moon’
of the Faith.
For
close to two decades now, Hadhrat Munir Ahmad
Azim Saheb
(atba) of
Mauritius has
been
blessed
with an abundance of Divine communications and spiritual messages, to
a level and scale unheard of in the records of the Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya
since the times of the Promised Massih Hadhrat
Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as)
in the previous century. Hadhrat
Khalifatullah (atba) proclaims
that Allah (swt) has bestowed upon him several spiritual titles in
this era-
Khalifatullah;
Mujaddid, Messiah; Muhyi-ud-Din,
etc.-
and
that these
spiritual titles point to his
Divinely-inspired mission: of reclaiming and revitalizing the
enduring message of Tawheed
in this new century of the Islamic Era- thereby helping people
appreciate the correct spiritual path; strengthening them morally and
spiritually in these bewildering times. Like
all men of God throughout history, Hadhrat Saheb
(atba) preaches
Divine Love. Sharing pure Divine messages coming from the Unseen,
Hadhrat Saheb (atba) invites people to recognize the advent of his
humble self in our midst as an Elect of God and consider the
extraordinary possibility of
acceding
to the Divine countenance in this era as well by following his
personal example.
Ever since the time Allah (swt) blessed them with the light of faith to recognize and accept His Messenger of the era and the formal establishment of the Sahih Al Islam community in the State, it has been an earnest wish of the Tamil disciples to meet with the Divinely-inspired and appointed Muhyi-ud-Din of this era. Alhamdulillah, it is this cherished spiritual wish of the sincere believers that has come to fruition with the visit of the Khalifatullah (atba) and the blessed family members. The journey of these blessed messengers took place despite several hurdles-including the devastating Cyclonic Storm Gaja that literally brought the State down on its knees- with the shadow of Divine help and special assistance, making every moment of the two- weeks stay in Tamil Nadu, a spiritually uplifting experience for all those who were in the circle of the Divine Manifestation during those days, Soumma Alhamdulillah.
