‘Nowadays I have
nothing to do with Munir Ahmed Azim', so wrote Zafrullah Domun Sahib
to an Ahmadi Brother in Kerala. In his
Friday sermons these days, however, the Domun Sahib “acknowledges”
the Divine Manifestation. Yet, he forgets to name the person behind it, in
whose hands he himself took the Bai’at in the year 2003! It is the same Domun Sahib who even proclaimed that if ever he had to
stand by the Ka’aba to say that Munir Azim is the truthful one and that the messages
he receives are truthful messages, he shall without hesitation do so. What explains this 180-degree shift in his
positions between then and now? Humility of obedience and vanity of pride and arrogance are both traits ingrained in human nature and the distance is not
much, reminds the Holy Qur’an. In a recent Book, Khalifatullah Hadhrat Munir Ahmad Azim Sahib (atba) reflected
upon the reasons behind the shifting stand of Zafrullah Domun Sahib. Read extracts
from the recent Book:
And Allah says in the
Holy Quran:
Man is not weary of
supplication for good (things), but if evil touches him, he is hopeless and
despairing. And if We let him taste mercy from Us after an adversity which has
touched him, he will surely say, "This is
(due) to me…” (41: 50-51)
It is most unfortunate that after hundreds of
divine favours in the aftermath of recognising and accepting a humble Messenger
of Allah, Zafrullah Domun Sahib went away along with his family members from
the Divine Manifestation they witnessed at close view. He “acknowledges” the Divine Manifestation but not
the person behind it; person
whom Allah has chosen as His Elect and whom he recognizes and took the Bai’at (oath of
allegiance) in the year 2003 onwards.
Recently he testified in his Friday Sermon (06 January 2012):
“Today
is also the first Friday of this year. I cannot forget that fateful day of 5th January 2001
when the then amir made a Khutbah Jummah in Dar es Salaam Rose hill announcing our expulsion from Jamaat. At that time
many thought we would rush to
present our excuses and re integrate the Jamaat. But Allah stood by us although the then caliph and
his amir and consequently almost all members of the Jamaat sided with them. At
that time Allah comforted us
saying that we should not at
all be worried because he was with us and He would destroy those who did wrong.
As always Allah is true to His words.
At that time He told us
that although
it might take more than ten years yet what was promised would come to pass. You
all know how the then amir thought that he was riveted to the chair of amarat
with the blessings of his clique from London.
But Allah kept repeating to us
that “I will
humiliate he who tries to humiliate you” and “we will punish them from where they expect
not”. Nowadays everyone knows how evil has been the lot of that
amir. He has been ousted from his chair
by the caliph in person although quite reluctantly and with great humiliation.
The world has seen what happens when you try to mess with Allah’s representatives.”
Now, it is
interesting to note that Zafrullah Domun Sahib has witnessed so much and verily
it became true what Allah has vouchsafed to this humble self (as the recipient
of the divine messages he mentioned in his Friday Sermon), and yet he finds
himself now far from the circle of Allah’s Representative (Khalifatullah).
