Chaos in the World

In his Friday Sermon of 14 June 2024~ 07 Dhul-Hijjah 1445 AH, Imam- Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam International Hazrat Khalifatullah Munir A. Azim (aba) of Mauritius profoundly reflects on the ongoing conflicts- the portent signs of chaotic disorder in the contemporary international system. Hazrat Khalifatullah (aba) underscores that at the root of the present chaos in the world lies the ‘worship’ of the Satan. Indeed, when the Faith weakens, and fear of God is lost, people are lured by the hedonistic trappings of this world: they will aggressively pursue material interests and selfish impulses without any concern for moral restraints, nor for the broader good- resulting in all round conflicts and chaos.  

Indeed, wars and other forms of severe calamities are engulfing and afflicting our world. With entire nations being devastated by the hands of unscrupulous men, the catastrophic events should inspire deep soul-searching. For thoughtful people, there is little doubt that in the interest of our common humanity; urgent course-correction is required on all sides for peace and tranquillity to prevail in the world: there is no alternative to recognizing the power of principles and ethical conduct as ordained by God Almighty through His prophets- the Divine laws brought by the messengers through divine revelations.

Historically, the early Muslims under Holy Prophet Muhammad (sa), and the righteous Caliphs established principles and rules of social engagement injecting compassion and humane considerations, including in times of war, in the just treatment of prisoners of war and conquered peoples, women and children. Yet today, the Muslim world has lost its original moral moorings, and rich nations among them are ignoring their vital obligations of solidarity, and are often complicit in the oppression of the persecuted, siding with the oppressive forces, or in any case, preferring to remain neutral even in times of great evil. They seem to give priority to their own economic development and national progress, neglecting the obligations of Faith and morality. True devotees of God should re-establish Islamic values and way of life through Duahs, personal reform, and reclaiming the spirit of sacrifice and striving for the collective good, urges Hazrat Saheb (aba) in the discourse.

A Vision for A Just World

In his Friday Sermon of 16 December 2022 ~21 Jamadi’ul Awwal 1444 AH, Imam- Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam Hazrat Muhyiuddin Al Khalifatullah Munir Ahmad Azim (aba) of Mauritius speaks movingly about the struggles of persecuted minorities; stateless refugees and other peoples caught up in climate change-induced migration; the deep connections between ecological disasters and armed conflicts, and also the problem of modern slavery: human trafficking across borders amidst deepening misery and despair at home in several lands.  

Speaking against the backdrop of the material conditions in Mauritius, Imam Azim (aba) urges fellow citizens to be deeply grateful to God for the available social blessings of peace, relative prosperity and global standing of the nation, and at the same time, Hazrat Khalifatullah (aba) gently reminds people to be conscious of long-term societal trends, and also be aware of the moral and ethical obligations the people owe to fellow beings in their midst- especially those in suffering and are vulnerable due to their difficult circumstances.  In this eloquent discourse, Hazrat Azim (aba) invites our attention to the obligations of our common humanity towards the refugees and the vulnerable migrants. Warning against the pitfalls of indifference, silence and negligence, Hazrat Saheb (aba) urges one and all to stand up for the less privileged and try to make a difference in our surroundings for our collective welfare and shared progress. Muslims especially have a duty to be the forces of good; fighting evil within and outside; standing up for justice and equity. Indeed, true faith and allegiance to Divine worship requires us to be mindful of the needs of our fellow beings and ease up their travails, and engage ourselves in the larger causes of humanity, reminds Hazrat Saheb (aba).

‘Wahi’: ‘Come into the Ark of Azim’

 

‘Turbulence has appeared on land and sea in consequence of people’s misdeeds, that Allah may afflict them with the consequences of their misconduct, so that they may turn back from evil.’ (30:42) 

 

Human kind is facing extremely dangerous times: ecologically, politically, and socially. Western developmental model of hedonistic consumption has put global environment and the atmosphere under siege; global warming and climate change are a painful reality of our times. Extreme weather events that are happening all around call our attention to the humongous threats looming over humanity’s very survival on earth. Coupled with the destruction of the environment, violence and bloodletting are increasing on an exponential scale all across the world. Societies are splintered on ethnic, religious, regional and sectarian lines, with brutal majoritarianism trumping over the dignity and rights of the human person. Likewise, powerful nations are seeking to subjugate other nations in their midst. 

Consider the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine. Instead of resolving disputes through diplomacy and negotiations, through settlements and agreements that acknowledge the interests and concerns of each other; nations that share a common history and legacy are at war with one another. And more worryingly, the present war threatens to unleash forces than can escalate the situation further, and thereby, even engulf the whole of Europe and beyond into a quagmire of utter destruction. With nuclear-armed States on both sides of the divide, people who have eyes to perceive warn about Dooms Day scenario as only the logical consequence of the sheer madness on display.  

 

In this context, it is important to reflect on the Divine revelations received by Imam- Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam Hazrat Khalifatullah Al Mahdi Munir Ahmad Azim Saheb (aba) of Mauritius on Saturday 05 March 2022. The Divine message warns humanity about the gathering storm of war. Destructive chaos will disrupt everyday lives on an unprecedented scale, affecting and impacting people everywhere. The extraordinary Divine communication reveals several signs of the events to unfold in the near future- ‘rivers of blood’, as it were; the terrible destruction that will transform men and women and their nations. May Allah (swt) destroy the fangs of evil, and safeguard all believers everywhere; enable them to flock under the flag of true spirituality and humanity, i.e., the ‘Ark of Azim’ in this era, Insha Allah, Aameen.

World War III is very near. Birds have come to announce me these messages. Many men will die. There will be rivers of blood. 

Islam: Dark Clouds, Silver Lining

The situation in the world is extremely worrying for all Muslims (and all my disciples in Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam) and I am again reminding you all to pray earnestly that Allah (swt) may remove the dangers which face Islam which is being encircled by dark clouds which only God can remove whenever He pleases.

There is nowhere in the world where Muslims are not in danger directly or indirectly and we do not see any intelligent Islamic response. There is only one despicable response which they know: persecuting their own Muslim brethrens and finishing Islam by their own hands. In addition to the civil wars and the religious strife which they wage between themselves but when it concerns the Divine Manifestation and the belief in the Promised Messiah Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) and in this era this humble self the Khalifatullah, all the Muslim sects don't hesitate to group together to counter-attack what they term as heretics. It is on this basis that they seem to agree and help each other to crush the divine truth. Since the advents of non law-bearing prophets/ messengers after Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh), they seem to have lost their bearings when they denied and calumniated the men of God.
