'Ashura' Day and the Muslims

 

10 Muharram: The Day of ‘Ashura

 

'...Like you all know, today we are the 9th of Muharram 1445 Hijri, and tomorrow 10th of Muharram will be the Day of Ashura here in Mauritius. The Day of Ashura commemorates the victory of Moses over Pharaoh, and the Muslims were commanded by the Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) to fast it as they had more rights on Moses (as) than did the Jews. 

In a Hadith narrated by Hazrat Abu Musa (ra), he said that the day of ‘Ashura’ was considered as Eid day by the Jews. So the Prophet (pbuh) ordered to all Muslims, “I recommend you (Muslims) to fast on this day.” (Bukhari)

A Mosque for Allah

 

The Houses of Allah: Part 5

 

Alhamdulillah, Summa Alhamdulillah, I continue today my sermon on Mosques. Today I will talk about the donation of mosques and some important mosque rules which we should all bear in mind.

 

Donation of a Mosque

 

The Holy Prophet (pbuh) said: “When a man dies, his actions come to an end except for three things: ‘Continuous Charity (Sadaqah Jariyah), knowledge which is beneficial, or a virtuous descendant who prays for him’.” (Muslim)

 

The greatest example of Sadaqah Jariyah is the construction of a Mosque in the name of the deceased, the reward of which he or she will get in the Hereafter.

 

Uthman ibn Affan (ra) reported: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, “Whoever builds a mosque for Allah, Allah will build for him a house like it in Paradise.” (Bukhari, Muslim)

Revelations of 30 July 2023

  

According to the Holy Qur’an, the emergence of a pious and holy man among the people is a great sign of Divine mercy and kindness for the community. By accepting a man of God, you stand to gain clear moral guidance and practical role model for embracing the Divine path, which in its turn offers felicity in this world and salvation and eternal well being in the hereafter. 

In this era of great turbulence and confusion in the moral and spiritual world, out of His great compassion for human beings, Allah (swt) raised His elect, Hazrat Munir Ahmad Azim (aba) of Mauritius as the Khalifatullah of this era- the high representative of God among the people to revive and renew the spiritual highway- for the benefit of those seeking the pure way. To dispel the cobwebs of confusion in comprehending the Divine Mandate, Allah (swt) also conferred on this humble man of God several spiritual titles, clearly confirming for the benefit of all people that the Divine manifestation of this era is located in the circle of his divine mission- the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam International. Among the spiritual titles so bestowed on Hazrat Saheb (aba) is the Qur’anic figure of ‘Dhul Qarnain’, the servant of God who ruled over all the known lands of his time, Masha Allah, Alhamdulillah, Allah-u- Akbar!      

On Sunday, 30 July 2023~ 11 Muharram 1445 Hijri, Imam- Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam International Hazrat Muhyiuddin Al Khalifatullah Munir Ahmad Azim (aba) of Mauritius shared with the members of the Jamaat new revelations received through the Rooh-il-Qudus, Alhamdulillah, Summa Alhamdulillah. These revelations once again confirms the lofty nature of the divine mission entrusted to Hazrat Saheb (aba) almost two decades ago under the special will and pleasure of Almighty God. 

Read the revelations below:

 

‘Munir Ahmad Azim is the Dhul Qarnain of this age. He is the Holy Founder of Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam. Spiritually, ‘Dhul Qarnain of this age’ applies to Munir Ahmad Azim. Thus besides its historical value, the story is pregnant with great spiritual import.

Oommen Chandy [1943-2023]

 

Former Chief Minister of Kerala, Mr. Oommen Chandy, passed away on Tuesday, 18 July 2023. He was 79, and was ailing for some time. Born on 31 October 1943, Mr. Chandy was the 10^th chief minister of Kerala, serving from 2004 to 2006 and 2011 to 2016. He served also as the Leader of the Opposition in the Kerala Legislative Assembly from 2006 to 2011.

 

He represented Puthuppally constituency as a member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) in the State Assembly from 1970 until his death in 2023, making him the longest-serving MLA of any state legislature in India. He received an award for public service from the United Nations in 2013. He was a member of the Congress Working Committee, the apex decision-making body of the Indian National Congress, at the time of his death.

As a political leader of Kerala, he served the people with much humility and sincerity of purpose all through his days in government as well as outside of it; Mr. Chandy leaves behind a rich legacy of public service;  an outpouring of love and grateful remembrance by common people across the State when his body was taken on its final journey to the burial place is emblematic of the numerous lives he touched throughout his life as a people’s leader. 

We in the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam- Kerala remember with fondness Mr. Oommen Chandy’s respectful and warm interaction with our beloved Imam Hazrat Muhyiuddin Al Khalifatullah Munir Ahmad Azim (aba) of Mauritius, during the latter’s India visit in December 2018.
