Celebrating 'Eid-ul-Fitr' 2023

 

Alhamdulillah, the fasting month of Ramadan this year, by the immense grace and favours of Allah (swt), turned out to be an exceptional time for devotees of Allah in the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam International:  very many signs of Divine pleasure and satisfaction, and related/associated visions and dreams of fine quality and substance were vouchsafed to many humble and sincere members of the Jamaat, Masha Allah, Alhamdulillah, Allah-u-Akbar!

While Islamic teachings promise the special descent of ‘Laila-tul-Qadr’ in the last 10 days of the fasting month, the rank and file of the Jamaat had the great favour of witnessing to a number of interesting Divine Signs during this period- for instance, just like in the times of the Promised Messiah (as), red drops became visible in the copybook of the Muhyiuddin Al Khalifatullah (aba) of this era: out of nowhere, it suddenly appeared like a Divine attestation on the incredible efforts and profound service of Hazrat Saheb (aba) in making Qur’an accessible to a larger audience around the world in these complex and challenging times, Allahumma Allah-u-Akbar!



Against the backdrop of these mystical visions and experiences and related Divine Signs in the holy month of Ramadan, the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam International celebrated Eid-ul-Fitr this year with members of the Jamaat-men, women, boys and girls- converging together at Mosques and other prayer centers in various parts of the world, including Mauritius, Comoros, Madagascar, Dubai, Delhi, Sirajum Munir Masjid at VK Puram (Tamil Nadu), and the Noor’ul Islam Masjid at Mathra (Kerala), Summa Alhamdulillah

'O Allah': Whispers of the Heart

 

O Allah, forgive me my sins,

Overlook my many faults, mistakes and failings,

Absolve of me of my bad deeds

O my dear Lord, the All Hearing, the All Seeing

I take refuge with You

From the goading of the evil ones;

Save me from the pangs of Evil.



 

O Allah, strengthen my soul in its struggle

Against the evil within and outside;

Secure me from the temptations of the baser self;

Save me against my own impulses and excesses

Protect me from self-inflicted wounds

 

O Allah, do not abandon me

In the wilderness of an unguided existence;

Bless me with a share of Your grace and mercy,

Grant me a Light to walk in the footsteps

of Your noble prophets and saints

For, whoever is gifted Divine wisdom

Has truly been given much good

Healthy Habits for Good Life

 

Moderation in Eating & Self-Care

 

In the time of the Prophet (pbuh) in Medina, a great Byzantine physician arrived to treat people for free. He asked permission to open his Clinic in the city. Every day, he went to the Clinic to treat illnesses but no one came to consult him. In the afternoon he closed shop and returned home without having been able to treat anyone. It lasted at least a month. Every day, he went to the Clinic and then came home empty-handed in the evening. Finally, he went to see the Holy Prophet (saw) to inform him that he was closing his clinic to go home but he still wanted to know why Muslims did not come to consult him. The answer was quite obvious - no one was getting sick. The Holy Prophet (pbuh) explained to him that he had taught his disciples that all illness has its roots in the stomach. And since the people of Medina followed the advice of the Holy Prophet (pbuh) to the letter and ate frugally, they never fell ill.

 

According to a Hadith narrated by Al-Miqdam Ibn Ma’di Karib (ra): “The son of Adam does not fill a vessel worse than his stomach. It is enough for him to take only a few mouthfuls to straighten his back, but if he has to eat his fill, let him fill his stomach with one-third food, one-third drink and one-third air.” (Ibn Majah)

'Eid-ul-Fitr' Message 2023

 

Celebrating 'Eid' in Our Broken World


'Remember the dues of God and our common humanity' , urges Imam- Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam Hazrat Muhyiuddin Al Khalifatullah Munir A. Azim (aba) in his 'Eid-ul-Fitr'  public message. 


Eid-ul-Fitr comes every year as thanksgiving to the Almighty Lord and rejoice for the Muslim believer who has fasted with devotion for the whole duration of the Holy Month of Ramadan, shunning every Satanic trap along the way by keeping fast to the Divine Commandments and submitting to His Will. Such Eid is celebrated by billions of Muslims around the world, whether in the rich or poor countries.


But as the world is caught in the whirlpool of calamities, when the impending danger of destruction is looming over the head of mankind, the definition of happiness has changed. The Eid which one seeks is inner peace for oneself and for humanity at large.


When humanity is suffering in all kinds of ways, whether being victims of war, or flood, or even lack of the basic necessities of life, we need to pause and reflect, and then take some serious decisions for the betterment of the beautiful global nation so much loved by the Almighty.
