If Dreams are made of Hope,
My heart hankers after the Fulfillment of it all,
Like the Sweetness of the Bee's Honey,
I yearn for the stickiness to the Lord's Glory,
My eye prays for the uncovering of the timeless
insight,
The Outer seeking the Inner,
Of Me, I perceive not I or Myself,
But only the meaning to be selfless,
And merging with the One Who is the True Me,
The Most Powerful, Unlimited, and Evergreen Me,
Whose wishes blend with the Inferior me,
To complete the picture of true Union.
The Suffering of the Body of Islam Worldwide- 3
They know that Islam is a true way of life (Deen), a way of life that Allah created naturally for man [and not just for humans, but for jinns too], but due to the fact that they are blinded by their lust for power and greed to accumulate wealth and children, and to establish falsehood instead of truth, then the truth of Islam becomes a threat to them. And so, they come up with plan after plan to exterminate Islam, and reduce the number of Muslims on earth by exterminating them – us, Muslims – and taking over our wealth and land. The peace pact which dates back several hundred years is then broken, not respected, or after the conquest of countries as in the colonial era, where the countries of the world ended up agreeing not to conquer any other countries and preserve what was already in their possession – i.e. they will keep those countries and not try to take over other countries. But greed and wickedness make certain dictators abandon this pact to do what they want.
Nai’b Amir of the Kerala Jamaat, Hariz Saheb belongs to the first group of believers in India who recognized the spiritual claims associated with the advent of Hazrat Imam Munir Ahmad Azim (aba) of Mauritius as the Mujaddid of the 15th century of Islam, Alhamdulillah.
In his Friday Sermon of 12
April 2024~ 02 Shawwal 1445 AH, Imam- Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam International, Hazrat
Muhyiuddin Al Khalifatullah Al Mahdi Munir Ahmad Azim (aba) of Mauritius, spoke movingly about the plight of several Muslim communities
around the world. In China, the communist regime is applying repressive methods
to eradicate the cultural memory, social practices, and religious consciousness
of the Uighur Muslims of Xinjiang. Likewise, in Myanmar, the Rohingya Muslims
are facing worst forms of violence and ethnic-cleansing at the hands of the
Buddhist extremists and the military junta. Elsewhere, several Muslim minority
communities are facing the onslaughts of anti-Islam forces. Majoritarian,
ethnic-nationalist parties in some countries, as well as the secular fascists
in other lands, are equally united in their hatred of Islam, and they scheme to
restrict the basic human rights and cultural identity of the Muslims in their midst.
It seems as though other religious groups, dominant as they are today in their
lands, are mortally afraid of what the future holds for them as Islam
gradually spreads in these lands incrementally. On the other hand, in Muslim
nations such as Yemen, Syria and the Sudan, civic conflicts and internecine
warfare have taken a toll on entire Muslim communities, with unending violence
devastating every day life in these societies for years altogether, leading to
large scale forced displacement and migration.
In the killing fields of Gaza and elsewhere in the
occupied territories of the Palestinian people, Israel's relentless bombing campaigns over the last
six-months have murdered more than thirty five thousand persons- a large majority of them children and women; hundreds of thousands more became displaced in the land,
with thousands critically injured while entire hospitals and housing buildings
stand destroyed, making human life virtually intolerable in the land. And yet, the people
of Palestine patiently awaits the dawn of their liberation from the clutches of
their racist oppressors. Hazrat Khalifatullah's speech concludes with a long,
heart-felt prayer to the Almighty God for the destruction of the forces of
evil, and for the alleviation and edification of the suffering Muslims of the
world, Insha Allah, Aameen.
Read the Friday Sermon Below:
You are my
intimate friend
my
aspiration
my joy
My heart
refuses
to love
other than you
‘I created jinn and mankind only to know and
worship Me.’ (The Holy Qur’an,
51:57)
According to a famous Hadith Qudsi, God says: ‘I was a Hidden Treasure and I yearned, I loved to be known intimately. So I created the heavens and the earth so that they may know Me intimately.’
A true believer
is a lover of God. By establishing oneself on Divine commandments and the
perfect example of the noble Prophet (sa) and the Elect of God of one’s era, a
true believer can aspire for a special relationship of friendship and spiritual intimacy with God
Almighty through a sound, purified heart: 'The heavens and the earth cannot contain Me, but the heart of My faithful servant can contain Me'. Sincere striving with pure faith and a grateful heart opens up the
gates of Divine mercy: 'So remember Me, and I shall remember you' (2:153). Indeed God loves an earnest, perfected soul when it seeks Divine
nearness with a tongue always moist with the remembrance of God. In a Hadith Qudsi, Allah (swt)
states: ‘He
who seeks Me, finds Me; He who seeks other than Me, will never find me; Pious
souls yearn to behold Me, I yearn more to behold them’.
