The Khalifatullah (atba) is back home from London
Before getting to the heart of the subject of today’s
Friday Sermon, Alhamdulillah, I thank Allah for the immense favour He pours
down upon me and our Jamaat, which is making great progress day by day.
Recently, like I informed you, I had to go to London, in the United Kingdom and
Alhamdulillah, Allah has manifested
many signs and has opened the door of Dawa all the more, so that people in
general, and the Ahmadis in particular receive the message of peace which comes
from Allah and His Khalifatullah of this era.
The Dawa was great whereby many
people – Christians, Hindus and Muslims (Afghans and Arabs etc.) received the
message of the unity of Allah and of the advent of a Muhyi-ud-Din (Reviver of Faith) and Khalifatullah (Caliph of Allah) who has come to unite them together
under the banner of “Laa-Ilaaha Illallah
Muhammadur Rasullullah” (There is no God but Allah and Muhammad is the
Messenger of Allah). Alhamdulillah, Summa
Alhamdulillah, as I was journeying to London, I made it a duty to try to
contact the Khalifatul-Massih V, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad. Even before my
departure, I sent his officers an email to inform him about my visit to London,
and in London itself, I sent him a letter, a Message of Peace, which Insha-Allah, shall be official (along
with the other materials) on the website very soon.
What is pleasantly astonishing is that the Ahmadis in
London has not put any boycott on me. On the contrary, they received me with
lots of love and teary eyes, in the mosque itself. And there was some talks and
explanations on the divine manifestation which were very cordial and they even
offered me a place to stay (with all provisions) but by the grace of Allah,
Allah already made my provision in this regard, and I must appreciate this
also. All in all, they are completely different from the Ahmadis in Mauritius
with their boycott policy!
OBEISSANCE TO PARENTS
“And your Lord has commanded that you shall not worship (any) but Him, and good treatment to your parents. If either or both of them reach old age with you, do not say to them (so much as) “Ugh” nor chide them, but address them in terms of honour.” (17: 24).
These days, pupils are preparing themselves to take
the way back to school. Children also have duties/homework which are not only
academic in nature; indeed they also have to accomplish duties with due respect
to Allah and His Messenger Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh). I have to tell you all
children to keep in mind this motto: Water your
mind with academic knowledge/education and water your soul with spiritual
knowledge/education which is verily essential in the life of a believer,
be him a small child or an adult. And this applies also for all children, even
the adults who still are children of their old parents and who have the duty to
take care of them.
