'Voice of Imam': New Issue

  

Alhamdulillah, the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam- International just unveiled a new Issue of its flagship Journal, the ‘Voice of Imam’ in April 2023. Likewise, the Siraj Makin Djawaharatul Kamal [women’s wing of the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam International] also recently published two new Issues of the Alam Al Yaqeen Journal, in February & April 2023 respectively, Summa Alhamdulillah. 

The aforesaid e-Magazines contain a wealth of information beneficial for the religious education and understanding of all readers. Apart from explaining foundational beliefs and practices of Islamic spiritual life, the Journals marshal vital materials useful for a closer appreciation of the Divine Manifestation in Mauritius in the last two decades, with the descent of Holy revelations, visionary experiences and pure dreams in the person of our beloved Imam- Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam Hazrat Muhyiuddin Al Khalifatullah Munir Ahmad Azim (aba).   


Muslims, especially Ahmadis- the members and followers of the Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya founded bythe Promised Messiah Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) of Qadian [1835-1908] will find many interesting pieces of information useful for their spiritual reflection and understanding within the pages of these magazines. Reproduced below is an article compiled by our dear brother Sahib'al Faraj Khwajah Muhyiuddin Saleem Saheb of Tamil Nadu, along with Abu Zaahidah; the essay provides a fascinating insight into the interpretation and understanding of Divine revelations vouchsafed to the Promised Messiah (as) in the previous era, especially the competing claims of fulfillment of related prophecies in this era.


Most Ahmadis know that Allah (swt) revealed to the Promised Messiah (as), 'Inni ma'aka ya Masroor' (Surely, I am with you, O Masroor). Members of Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya (Qadian) today project the aforesaid revelation/ prophecy as standing fulfilled with the election of Mirza Masroor Ahmad Saheb to the office of Khalifatul Massih V by the assembly of Jamaat elders in 2003, following the demise of the fourth caliph. They are merely following speculation and conjecture in this, as they have no real authority/ confirmatory evidence to offer in the form of  formal claim of fulfillment of the Prophecy in his own person by the present chief/caliph. Indeed,  Masroor Saheb has not announced to the world any supportive claim of Divine revelations, nor any personal statement being the prophecy fulfillment in this regard. What is available on record is merely the 'usual' exaggerations and spiritual speculations and lofty conjectures by the followers of the present caliph- just like the idolaters worship their calf by singing hyperbole, the Ahmadi leaders and priests treat the Caliph like a  shadow of God on earth!

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)
