Navin Ramgoolam: Deeds on Trial

In a Special Speech on 17 May 2012, the Khalifatullah Hadhrat Munir Ahmad Azim Saheb (atba) of Mauritius spoke succinctly on a range of world and national issues, and religious and political developments. The Speech was made in the backdrop of recurring Divine Revelations received by the Khalifatullah (atba) and it included many comments that were prescient and prophetic, waiting to be unveiled in the fullness of time.

Almost three years down the timeline from that Speech, it is astonishing to reflect on the extraordinary Light of Truth the short document represents in many ways. In this essay, we shall seek to illustrate in this article the truthfulness of the Divine words which Allah made the Khalifatullah (atba) to pronounce on the Special Sermon vis-a-vis the then Prime Minister of the country, Mr. Navin Ramgoolam.

It is instructive and striking to note that the Speech that was made in May 2012 began its assessment of the national issues with a frontal attack on the wily character of the then actual Prime Minister Navin Ramgoolam and his rampant, corrupt business practices, seeking to defraud the national exchequer by millions of rupees and his hypocritical duplicities and strategies to remain in power even beyond his term of office (ending in 2015). The Khalifatullah (atba) goes on to state: “If a profound investigation is made on his activities, then there is prison involved for him, and it is possible that such prison terms be for life!”  

Recently, on 17 March 2015, the journalist James Wan of the Al Jazeera English Network reported the ongoing predicament of the former Prime Minister Navin Ramgoolam and his coterie of people who face the troubling prospect of their ignominious deeds swiftly catching up with them. The long arm of national law and justice system is certainly seeking to put them on trial for their misdeeds and egregious offences.

Extracts from the Report is reproduced below: 

At the start of December 2014, Ramgoolam's future could barely have looked more rosy. 

Munir Javed: Hubris and Stupidity

Since a very long time, ever since the time of the fourth Caliph of the Ahmadiyya Movement, before 1993, there was a man named Munir Javed who has remained always the private secretary to the Khalifat-ul-Massih, and who takes himself as a strong supporter of Khilafat-e-Ahmadiyya. He claims to know everything when in reality it is only a false claim because he knows nothing, and he is even in the process of becoming all the more deprived of knowledge. This same man is currently conducting an anti-Divine Manifestation policy. 

It was only on my return from UK on 05 January 2015 that we set to work on the materials – the Dawa works and the two letters which I sent to the Khalifat-ul-Massih V during my stay in England in the month of December 2014 – to be posted on the website. On 24 March 2015 I received a letter from the office of the private secretary of the Khalifat-ul-Massih V, dated 16 March 2015 in which the answer given is very dull, just like the paracetamol tablets which every time doctors give to their patients, be it in dispensaries and hospitals. Despite the different kinds of ailments of those patients, paracetamol (panadol) is prescribed as the quickest means to “cure” these people as if there are no other remedies for their ailments. It is basically like this for Munir Javed also! 

Munir Javed Sahib replied instead of the Khalifat-ul-Massih and he said that my letter was received and read by the Khalifat-ul-Massih V. According to the letter, the Khalifa did not object to what was intended for him in writing. Munir Javed did not mention anything of the reaction or the words of the Khalifat-ul-Massih V about the invitation letter. Munir Javed takes himself as ‘more royalist than the king’ to add that he prays that Allah Almighty illuminates my heart and all those who have deviated from the right path.  

 

Can Munir Javed declare on which path have we deviated? I can tell you that by the grace of Allah, Allah has poured down His light – His divine messages – upon me. Had Allah not lit up my heart, I would have been like Munir Javed, that is, I would have been like Allah mentions in the Holy Quran: “Summum bukmum um-yun fahum la yarjiuun” – deaf, dumb and blind, they will not return (to the right path). 

 

When he (that is to say, Munir Javed) made the deaf ear and became dumb and blind regarding the signs of Allah, and the fact that he turned his back on the Divine Manifestations, then for this type of person it is Allah Himself who took away the light from him and left him and those like him in the dark, so that they may not see anything at all.

 

Can Munir Javed say 100% for sure that he is on the right path? Can he give the guarantee that paradise has already been reserved for him? If he has doubts about the messages that I address (to the world), then let him come forward and prove that he is right and let him seek help with anyone and prove also that we (I and all those who have recognized the Messenger of Allah, and divine signs and manifestations of this century) have gone astray? As for me, I was sent by my master Allah (swt), confirming what you already have. So if you do not have an answer to give, then just put a rock in your mouth so as not to say any nonsense. Thus, in order to avoid giving unnecessary fatwas.

Food: Choices and Consequences

Food and Human temperament

By the grace of Allah I continue to answer the questions on ‘pork’ that I received last week and I answered a lot of those questions, and today Insha-Allah, I will continue on the same subject to see a little on the immoral side which is sprouted by the consumption of this type of animal.

First, let us get the truth straight out that man is composed of body, mind and soul. The brain, the seat of the mind (with all its functions of thought, feelings and other psychological aspects) is a part of the body and takes its food as one of those parties. At any time, thousands of cells in our body get depleted and are used to operate the complex machinery of the body; food is used to replace these dead cells. Food particles become part of the body, part of which goes to the brain.

It is commonly known that food has an effect on the health of the body. But few people realize that it has an effect on the brain (hence the mind) as well. Healthy food obtained through legitimate means and consumed with a peaceful conscience, has good effects on both health of body and mind. But unhealthy food, or food taken at the time of emotional distress, harm to the body and spirit. 

The 'cultures' of Pork 

The pig is an animal such that even in countries where its flesh is a highly regarded consumer good, its name means a dirty person, a thug, a sensual, and a glutton. The word ‘pig’ is synonymous with evil and degenerate. This is because the pig is sensual and impudent. People who eat pork are gradually influenced by its inherent sensuality; and when this trend influences minds, impudence becomes common rule; modesty and honesty become outmoded ideas that are deviated from the cult of sensuality and perversion.
