Therefore, the Muslim world and all seekers of truth must realise that the truth of Islam cannot be erased! No matter how many conspirators try to destroy Islam, seeking at all costs to divide Muslims, place obstacles between our unity, and create wars so that we fight amongst ourselves – there always comes a point when Allah overturns their plans and removes the blindness from the eyes of Muslims, guiding them back to the straight path.

One Ummah, One Leader- 3

One Ummah, One Leader- 2
Each of the sects, the Jamaats
(communities) of Islam, is seeking the Khilafat for itself, to lead the
Ummah, but this Khilafat – let me tell you – is chosen by Allah! When
man deviates from the path of Allah and abandons the spiritual heritage of
Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh), of Islam – an Islam that all the prophets have preached
since the creation of man – then Allah sees the need to raise His own Khalifa
(Caliph/ Representative) to bring about that unity. This Khalifa of
Allah does all he can, through the divine revelation he receives, to revive the
Qur’an and Islam in the hearts of people across the world; not just Muslims,
but also people of other faiths who have long lost the right path.
So, if we look closely,
who truly deserves the Khilafat? When we analyse the sects of Islam that have
deviated from the right path, we see how many have already lost true guidance;
therefore, each Muslim must reflect on whether he is truly following the “Siratwal
Mustaqeem” (the straight path), and where it is truly leading him: towards
Allah and His pleasure, or towards divine anger and punishment?
A Khilafat that is based on the footsteps and works of Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh) – when the time comes, it will appear, and continue to appear, after people have lost the compass of Islam – that is, when they lose the direction that leads to true Islam.

‘Ummah’: The Signs of Decline
Based on the spiritual history of the rise and fall of nations, Holy Prophet Muhammad (sa) indicated to his companions and followers the Clear Signs that characterized the nations that were in terminal illness before their Final Fall: the spread of immorality, unjust enrichment, the breaking of Covenants and agreements, tyranny and persecution, sectarianism and strife, etc. According to several traditions emanating from the Holy Prophet of Islam (sa), Muslim Ummah will also undergo profound changes in the course of time and encounter different challenges and trials as the world approaches the End Times. Reproduced below are a number of Prophetic Traditions [Ahadith] that foretells about the decline in Faith and loss of morality and ethics in the End Times:

A Message to Disciples
‘Those who pray humbly, who shun idle talk, who pay the prescribed alms, who guard their chastity except with their spouses…who are faithful to their trusts and pledges and who keep up their prayers, will rightly be given Paradise as their own, there to remain.’ 23: (2-12)
When you follow the Mujaddid [Reformer of the Faith] of your times, accept the
revelations and guidance he brings in from the Divine waters, and act upon the
same with a sincere heart, you become a true Muslim: you can attain
righteousness and become virtuous in life. Indeed, Allah (swt) is with the
virtuous; a Divine Elect [Khalifatullah Al Mahdi ] guides us on the straight path or on ways that lead to
good and to Divine Succour. When we follow the Muhyiuddin among us with sincerity, and we strive with our very souls against Shaytan;
against our own lower selves; we will be guided to Almighty Allah (swt).
In recent messages to all disciples in the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam, including women members of the Jamaat around the world, Imam- Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam International Hazrat Muhyiuddin Al Khalifatullah Al Mahdi Munir Ahmad Azim (aba) of Mauritius underscores the significance of reforming moral and spiritual standards within so as to collectively rise as a community standing up for the values of true Faith with a pious disposition. Hazrat Saheb's sincere advices when followed by persons with a pure heart can lead to incremental benefits, and overall advancement, whatever be the life situations, both individually and as a community, Insha Allah.

Hazrat Ibrahim: An 'Ummah'
Hazrat Ibrahim (as) –
Abraham – is considered to be a community (Ummah) and a universe by
himself. The question that arises is why Hazrat Ibrahim (as) was granted the
title of ‘Ummah’?
Ibrahim (Abraham) was an Ummah i.e. a leader having all the good, righteous qualities of a nation, obedient to Allah, Hanif i.e. being someone who worshipped none but Allah and he was not one of the polytheists, idolaters, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, and those who joined partners – false gods – with Allah.

Arab 'Winter' and the Euro 'Spring'
He
unfortunately set himself on fire as an open defiance against the autocratic
regime, and this act of his was hailed by the West as a mighty sacrifice for
democracy in the Arab world and he and those who followed his example to
self-immolate themselves - nearly a dozen of them in Egypt, Algeria and
Mauritania – were granted such praiseworthy titles such as “heroic martyrs of a
new North African and Middle Eastern revolution”. This was published in the New
York Times, in the article “How a single match can ignite a Revolution”
published on 21 January 2011 by Robert F. Worth.
This act which the world deemed as a sacrifice for democracy is in fact suicide which is highly condemnable in Islam. No matter how hard a situation may come upon man, he has no right to take the life which does not belong to him. This act of suicide may be deemed by the West as a heroic act but unfortunately it is not so! Islam encourages revenge as per the same degree of torture that one undergoes, reaffirming the Mosaic Law “an eye for an eye” but being more just and lenient in its application. Islam is the Best Model, the Middle Way, between the extreme and the laissez-faire. The leaders who don’t follow the tenets of Islam while proclaiming themselves as Muslim States are accountable in the worldly court of justice as well as the Divine Court of Justice, but no Muslim – I clear and firmly state – NO MUSLIM SHOULD EVER TAKE HIS OWN LIFE! No matter how hard a situation gets, Allah has forbidden His servant to take this satanic step towards self-destruction.

Youth and the Future of Ummah
‘And when the children among you have attained to puberty...’
[The Holy Qur’an, (24: 60)].
Youth is a very important step in the life of man. It is a stage where his intelligence is strengthened and where he is in a better position to understand practical life through reflection and analysis. If in his youth a person does not acquire a good formation, then he will waste his youth in vain and bad things, and this will put him in a dangerous situation, for his life will take a wrong turn (direction). But if in his prime youth the person prepares himself to follow the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and does the required preparation to take up his own responsibilities as they should be taken, it is then that he will be able to convert a dead nation into an alive one, through his good conduct and his enthusiasm to work — and this dedication of his become a model for others to follow.

The Rope of Allah- 2
This verse of the Quran calls you every time. And you will not be able to achieve this without passing through Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh). That is why in the Quran and also in the Hadiths, more instructions are given to have Muhabbat (love) for Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh). And after that, the subject that comes is that there needs to be a link between the two [for one another]. This is not a separate matter. They are branches of one central subject. As you progress further in this matter, there are still many open paths and many beautiful views ahead. It is like a tree that has its roots well planted in the earth and its branches spread out and each branch shows its own beauty, its own greenery. But despite showing their beauty separately, they are always part of the same tree. And they cannot be separated from their tree. It is exactly the same for the Ummah of Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh). And this is how the Ummah is spread. It blooms and propagates and develops. And all of us together - all Muslims - we are branches of one single being. I try to clarify this subject in reference to the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam, the Jamaat that Allah has given me to bring this unity, to re-establish this Islam. Put in your mind that you are the only beings that are part of me. So: “O green branches of my own being! I am the tree that regained life after receiving water and food from Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh). And I saw a new spring. O people of the Jamaat who are connected with me, you are the flourishing branches of my tree.”

'Ummah': The Rope of Allah
'And hold firmly to the rope of Allah and do not be divided. Remember Allah’s favour upon you when you were enemies, then He united your hearts, so you - by His grace - became brothers. And you were at the brink of a fiery pit and He saved you from it. This is how Allah makes His revelations clear to you, so that you may be (rightly) guided.' (Al-e-Imran, 3: 104)
Take hold of the rope
of Allah together as one united body. Not one by one, No! But take hold of it
collectively. In fact, this refers to the verse of the Quran that I have just
recited before you and which I have developed previously in many of my sermons,
speeches and books.
Now I want to draw
special attention to what is said in the Quran, whereby Allah does not mention “Catch
or Hold” the rope, but rather says “Grip firmly to/ Hold fast to”
the rope collectively. This is the answer to many people who say, ‘We are good
Muslims, we have firmly grasped the Quran, we are doing everything that Allah
has told us to do and we are not doing anything that Allah has forbidden us to
do and we are following every teaching, so why is the need for a community, why
do we need to attach ourselves with a Jamaat (as one Community of Believers)?’
In one word, the Quran gives the answer. Allah says that it is not enough for you to lay down your hand to touch and hold the Quran individually. You need to hold this book collectively, as a Jamaat, so that the Oneness of Allah is manifested in this world as well. Just like Allah is One, thus all the people who believe in Him should also become One (united). I am dealing with this subject in reference to Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh), (for all of you) to put the Quran into practice directly, where it will be possible only when a person gains knowledge of the Quran directly. In order to do everything that the Quran and the Holy Prophet (pbuh) have commanded us to do and to refrain from what they have forbidden us to do, it is necessary to have a deep knowledge of the Quran. We need to have this deep knowledge to put those teachings into practice in the way that Allah wants.

The Importance of 'Jumu'ah'
Speaking about the larger message of Surah Al Jumu’ah, Hazrat Khalifatullah Al Mahdi (aba) notes the dynamics of decline and renewal in the spiritual world. When people ignore Divine commandments in a phase of time and Imaan flies away from amongst them to the Pleiades, it is the Sunnat Allah to raise some purified individuals to bring it back and establish the spiritual way. These chosen servants of God are raised in the mantle of the Prophets of the past. As high representatives of Divine Trust on earth, these sages are devoted to the Pure Way- the true living heirs of the Holy Prophet (sa). Hence, in this era of spiritual neglect, Allah (swt) has raised His Khalifatullah (aba) to renew the days of the Prophet and his spiritual practice as a grand blessing for those who believe and follow guidance, Alhamdulillah, Summa Alhamdulillah.

Illnesses of the 'Ummah'- 4
SOLUTIONS
Certainly, when the “source”
has become dry, the paths of good deeds, virtues and excellent qualities which
sprung from this source have disappeared. This is exactly what we see today. I
have already explained this in detail and made it clear that the only way to
rebuild this source and keep it flowing with the deeds of Deen which are
profitable is this work which is called Dawa/Tabligh, which we can
consider really and truly like the Ruh (soul) of Islam. As long as we do
not revive this work, we will not be able to accomplish anything good in this temporal
life because no nation, no people can know glory without having excellent
qualities and high characters that only Islam can produce.
It is our duty as soon
as possible to revive this work of Tabligh which is indeed obligatory.
Only then can we have hope of bringing the true Deen of Islam to life in
the Muslim community. Only by this means can we truly recognize and understand
Allah (twt) and His Beloved Prophet (pbuh), and thereafter submit to their
commands and desires [i.e., the commands of Allah and of His Messenger (pbuh)].
To succeed in doing this, we need to adopt the exact methods and means which Nabi Kareem Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh) used and which he put into practice to transform the Arabs (from the period of ignorance to Islam). Allah (twt) says in the Holy Quran: “Indeed in the Messenger of Allah you have a good example to follow...” (Al-Ahzab, 33: 22)

Illnesses of the 'Ummah'- 3
In his Friday Sermon of 17 June 2022 ~16 Dhul Qaddah 1443 AH, Imam- Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam Hazrat Muhyiuddin Al Khalifatullah Munir Ahmad Azim (aba) of Mauritius continues the larger reflections on the spiritual maladies that afflict the Muslim psyche today: the mental attitudes and emotional roadblocks that prevent them from engaging with energy, vigour, enthusiasm and enterprise in the larger goals of Dawah (preaching and propagating Islam). In this discourse, Hazrat Khalifatullah (aba) points out how to think through the confusing maze of Muslim renewal in this complicated era.
As Hazrat Saheb (aba) alludes in the discourse, based on Qur'anic principles and Prophetic practices, the Sahaba-e-Kiram, the pure Companions of the Holy Prophet (sa) and the Tabi'un, the pious generations that followed them became living exemplars of the Faith in the early days of Islam, and wherever they went to preach the message of Tawheed, people en masse abandoned their pagan notions and embraced the Light of Islam in their midst. As time went by, and the original spirit of faith ebbed away; decadence and degradation have returned to the societies that were once 'Muslim'. And today, in the fifteenth century after the Holy Prophet (sa), the Muslims in general seem to be bereft of the true essence of Islamic teachings in their everyday lives. Even worse, far from upholding the spirit of Tawheed as Muslims, many among them have turned into tomb-worshippers; instead of praying God, they invoke the intercession of long-dead saints, just like the idol-worshippers performing rituals before the lords beside Allah (swt), [God forbid].
Against this dismal contemporary scenario of gross misunderstandings and corrupt religious practices, reclaiming the true teachings along with its progressive potential and transformative spirit is the larger responsibility of the lovers of Allah (swt), including common followers of the Faith today. Hazrat Khalifatullah (aba) notes that this task can only be achieved through sustained work involving every segment of the Muslim society, and not by the Ulama and others working in silos. Promoting goodness of every kind and forbidding the bad from spreading in society are the real tasks of everyone at their own levels- indeed, duties and responsibilities are attached to every 'Muslim'- the one who has surrendered his God-gifted free will and submitted his everything to the Divine commandments. Moreover, Tabligh, or striving in God's cause by communicating Divine message to people also entail the willingness to withstand hostilities and insults at the hands of unfair critics and enemies of the Faith, like the Prophets in the past has shown: with patience and fortitude, they preached and lived the message of God against all odds, and the strength of their conviction and the beauty of their character changed hearts and they became victorious in the battlefield of Dawah. It is by following in the footsteps of true lovers of the Faith and in adopting their strategies and steps of engagement with the people that we can make progress in the path of Dawah, indicates Hazrat Khalifatullah (aba) in this discourse.

Illnesses of the 'Ummah'- 2
Like I cited before you last Friday; Allah says in the
Quran: “Those of the Children of Israel who went
astray were cursed by the tongue of David, and of Jesus, son of Mary. That was
because they rebelled and used to transgress. They used not to forbid one
another any malfeasance that they performed. Miserable indeed was whatever they
were performing!” (Al-Maida 5:
79-80)
The
Hadiths of our beloved prophet Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh) give more details about
these Quranic verses and shed more light [i.e. understanding] on them:
Hazrat ‘Abdullah bin Mas’ud (ra) reported: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, “The first defect (in religion) which affected the Children of Israel in the way that man would meet another and say to him: ‘Fear Allah and abstain from what you are doing, for this is not lawful for you.’ Then he would meet him the next day and find no change in him, but this would not prevent him from eating with him, drinking with him and sitting in his assemblies. When it came to this, Allah led their hearts into evil ways on account of their association with others.”

Illnesses of the 'Ummah'- 1
Islam preserved
and perfected in itself the true purpose of all religions which preceded it. By destroying
the impurity of idolatry and restoring the sublime faith in the Lord of mankind, Islam helped to mould purified and refined humans who
strived hard to reflect Divine attributes in their way of being, doing and
living through the centuries. Indeed, like the communities who were bestowed Divine Law in the past, leading
the world on spiritual purification was the heavy responsibility cast on the
shoulders of the Muslim Ummah by the Creator of
the Universe through His best Prophet, the Holy Prophet of Islam, Hazrat
Muhammad Mustafa (sa). Muslims who walked in the path of God became beneficiaries of Divine bounties as they were helped and assisted by God and His angels in their strivings. Indeed, the preservation of the true Faith and real spirituality
is a Divine Promise engraved upon the Holy Qur’an by Allah the Almighty
Himself.
At a
time when severe misfortunes have engulfed the Ummah, and sectarian disputes and violence destroy social peace in several lands, Muslims ought to recognize the extraordinary
magnitude of the task in front of them in the service of their noble Faith: of preserving
the good legacy and fair names of the pious ancestors- by repossessing and
displaying the solid Imaan (faith of
the early Muslims)- in their everyday lives; by being a force for good- enjoining
good and forbidding evil in their own communities wherever they are, Insha Allah, Aameen.

Inner Peace in A Troubled World

A World of Dizzying Inequality

Yes, turn to HIM, The Saviour, The Healer, The Protector, The Merciful. He offers all the remedies. Without fees. Without an appointment. He only asks us one thing: to think of HIM at all times. He is here to listen to us. All we sick people have to do is to have unreserved faith and piety. Believe in Him, in His remedies, in His miracles. Are we ready for this?
