The Signs of ‘Khalifatullah Al-Mahdi’

 

Human history is replete with the rise and fall of nations in the ebb and flow of time. Man’s religious history also testifies to the cyclical working of this norm of progress and decadence in society. Communities rise and progress with the advent of Prophets and other holy men of God among them, whereas they decline and fall when they follow their own whims and desires- ignoring, and deviating from the ethical teachings of God’s messengers. To help people everywhere to know and recognize the true path to God for all times, the Creator in His infinite Mercy sent the Holy Prophet (sa) with sublime guidance and the religion of Truth, i.e., Islam. As the religion of God, Islam encapsulates the fine aspects of all teachings revealed through Prophets in various nations all through history. Indeed, Islam recognizes and validates the universality of the religious experience, and provides a clear benchmark for true faith in God, while rejecting every manifestations of idolatry. In the grand plan of Allah (swt) for the world of religions, the predominance of Islamic monotheism over all other ideological systems is Divinely-guaranteed.

The Signs of 'Al Abrar'- II

 

Divine Revelations of 24 July 2021

Imam- Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam Hazrat Khalifatullah Munir Ahmed Azim (aba) of Mauritius received this Revelation from ALLAH Almighty around 6:10am, on Saturday, 24 July 2021 (after his Tahajjud with long Duah and then Fajr prayer, Duah and Dhikr felt a pain over his neck and then closed his eyes then he heard this voice):

"And you gave food, for the love of Allah, to the poor, to the orphans and to the prisoners."

"We gave you food simply to see the Face of Allah. We never seek from you neither reward nor thanks."

"We fear, from our Master, that Day when people will come frowned and very nervous."

"So Allah will protect them against all misfortune on that Day and will shower an illuminous light and joy upon you"

"And to reward you for your patience with paradise and silk garments."

"Allah's Shadow will descend very low upon them and also His fruits will be  at their reach."

The Signs of ‘Al Abrar’

 

Rituals of prayer and rites of sacrifice are a part of every Faith. Indeed, those aspects of Faith are its unique markings and as such representative of the very distinct identity of a community- like the anthems and flags of a nation proud in its independent existence. For Islam, the external forms of ‘identity-markers’ of a Muslim includes: performing ‘Namaz’, fasting on Ramadan; feasting on Eid, etc. Holy Prophet Muhammad (sa) stated: ‘Whoever prays like us and faces our Qibla and eats our slaughtered animals is a Muslim.’ 

Yet, Faith is much more than just doing religious ceremonies in a mechanical fashion. In Islam, mere physical compliance to rites and rituals does not meet the requirements of piety. Even while explaining God’s sacred rites of animal sacrifice on the occasion of the great pilgrimage, the Qur’an states: It is neither their meat nor their blood that reaches God but your piety’. (22:37). The Holy Prophet Muhammad (sa) said, “God does not look at your bodies or at your forms, but looks at your hearts”.

'Sham': The Holy Land


Alhamdulillah Summa Alhamdulillah, today is the third day of Eid [in the context of the Eid’-ul Adha] and an Eid’-ul Jummah. The sacrifice of Abraham and his son will remain forever engraved in the history of mankind, because let us all remember that Abraham (as) as mentioned in the Qu’ran was the father of two nations: The Ishmaelites [that is, the biological as well as spiritual children of Isma’il (as), i.e., the Muslims] and the children of Issac, and consequently those of Israel [i.e., Jacob (as) who are better known as Jews as well as Christians]. 

In these dark times of history, we see the descendants and followers of the two prophets: Ishmael and Issac, fighting among them to dispute a land which since the dawn of time has been a holy land. Although this land came under the responsibility of Muslims, but other countries have widened the chasm of hatred and strife to make this sacred land a land of war and dread.
