Today, among the followers, or those who have accepted the claims, of the Promised Massih Hadhrat Ahmad (as)
in the Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya, one can count six different, denominational sects: Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya Qadian, Anjuman Ahmadiyya
Lahore, Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya Al Muslemun, Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya Islah Pasand, Jamaat
Ul Sahih Al Islam and the Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya Haquiqui.
The recent Mubahila between two of the Ahmadiyya sects- Jamaat
Ul Sahih Al Islam and the Jamaat-e-
Ahmadiyya Islah Pasand is entering into a different stage now, with the
Mujaddid claimant Abdul Ghaffar Janbah Sahib and his Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya Islah Pasand declaring for himself a “clear victory”
through his recent speeches. The boastful claims from the Janbah Sahib came after
the completion of two years of publishing/uploading the official Mubahila
Document in the respective official websites.
In contrast to the approach
of the Janbah Sahib, Hadhrat Imam Muhyi-ud-Din Munir Ahmad Azim Sahib (atba) and the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam has taken the position that the Janbah Sahib is
gravely mistaken in his approach and perceptions and also in his appreciation
for himself in the context of the Mubahila. Janbah Sahib is ignoring a profound
fact about the situation: he had entered into the Mubahila, half-hearted and reluctant,
as is so apparent from the way he conducted himself and his failure in
fulfilling the simple procedural requirements in their full measure. He should
not have abused the fact that Allah (twa) is compassionate and overlooks the
mistakes and sometimes extends the days of people in His Wisdom. Insha Allah, the
Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam is certain to serve the purpose of renewal of faith in
our times, and there are glad tidings for those who are steadfast and do good
deeds in the path of Allah.
The result/consequences of
the Mubahila is itself a trial for the believers, especially for all Ahmadis
found in the various sects of Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya today. Given that all parties
to the Mubahila are alive and positive factors that give personal and
subjective satisfaction can be, and had been, shared from both ends, whose claims
of decisive victory needs to be accepted may yet remain shrouded for many believers, especially those who have veils over their eyes which haze their spiritual vision.
In his Friday Sermon of March 21, 2014 the Khalifatullah Hadhrat Munir Ahmad
Azim Sahib (atba) of Mauritius spoke about the questions that are most relevant
for those who analyse the Mubahila situation.
