The Voice of the Soul: A Revelation


On the morning of June 20, 2011 Hadhrat Khalifatullah Munir Ahmad Azim Sahib of Mauritius received a message (in English) from Allah, the Most High. The message on the need to be mild, gentle and sympathetic in inter-personal and social relations is entitled: “The Voice of the Soul”.

It is well to cultivate a mild, gentle and sympathetic voice, and the only way to secure it is to be mild, gentle and sympathetic. The voice is the index of the soul. Children do not pay much attention to your words – they judge of your intent by your voice. We judge each other more by voice than by language, for the voice colours speech, and if your voice does not corroborate your words, doubt will follow. We are won or repelled by the voice.

The best way to cultivate the voice is not to think about it. Actions become regal only when they are unconscious; and the voice that convinces is used by its owner unconsciously. Fix your mind on the thought, and the voice will follow. If the voice is allowed to come naturally, easily and gently, it will take on every tint and emotion of the mind. The voice is the sounding-board of the soul. God made it right. If your soul is filled with truth, your voice will vibrate with love, echo with sympathy, and fill your hearers with a desire to do, to be, and to become.

Mubahila Challenge to Janbah Sahib

In a speech after Esha Prayers on June 17, 2011, Hadhrat Khalifatullah Munir Ahmad Azim Sahib of Mauritius challenged Abdul Ghaffar Janbah Sahib of Germany (the man who claims to be the Mujaddid of the Century- Photo down below) to a Mubahila duel.

The challenge came in the backdrop of the latter’s rejection of the divine mission of the Khalifatullah. Further, Janbah Sahib has been maligning the reputation of Hadhrat Khalifa Sani Mirza Bashiruddin Mahmud Ahmad (ra) and is propagating that he met with an accursed death because of his claim of being the Musleh Maoud”. 

In the Friday sermon of January 21, 2011, Hadhrat Khalifatullah called the attention of the Janbah group to the deep mistakes they were making in the matter and asked them to desist from pursuing with the smear campaign against a servant of Allah and to read the Holy Qur’an profoundly so as not to fall prey to the passions of man. The sermon was in the context of what Janbah Sahib replied personally to Shabeeb Hanif Sahib of Kerala.

On March 13, 2011, Mansoor Ahmed Sahib, a disciple of Janbah Sahib issued a response to the Friday Sermon of January 21 with a grand title, "Lion of God".  Hadhrat Khalifatullah promptly refuted both the disciple and his leader on March 25, 2011. Hadhrat Sahib further invited Janbah Sahib to come forward in a challenge. 

In articles published here at the Sahih Al Islam Blog, on May 02-03, 2011, we have shown the falsity of the argument that the Qur’anic Law regarding the punishment of false claimants of divine revelations is fulfilled in the case of Hadhrat Khalifa Sani (ra). Subsequently, Mansoor Ahmed sahib issued a refutation on May 17, 2011 at their official website even as Janbah Sahib remained behind the curtains.

Time has now come to unmask a satanic theory and its proponents and to distinguish the “Lion of God” from “religious criminals”.

In Defence of Khalifa Sani (ra)- IV


In a recent article, Mansoor Ahmed Sahib (a disciple of Abdul Ghaffar Janbah Sahib of Germany, the man who claims to be the Mujaddid of the Fifteenth Century and the Imam of the Age), has responded to the first part of my essay “In Defence of Hadhrat Khalifa Sani (ra)- I & II, published here at the Sahih Al Islam Blog, on May 02- 03, 2011. This is the concluding part of my response, the first installment of which was posted here on June 19, 2011.

Mansoor Ahmed Sahib agrees that Khalifa Sani lived, after making the claim of being the Musleh Maoud, for a period of 22 years and six months under the Islamic calendar. Can anyone really argue the case that some one who has completed 22 years and reached the 23rd year and even crossed the half way mark of the year, did not meet the requirement of the time period? We have now an historically- unprecedented spiritual situation. For the first time in the history of mankind, a fake claimant to divine revelations was allowed by Allah to reach the twenty third year of his life having completed 22 years and six months!

Admittedly, Khalifa Sani had ailments in his old age, as any other human being of his age and physical condition. But the important question is this:  Has Allah, the Exalted given any immunity from age-related ailments for this claimant to Imam of the Age? Has he got any guarantee from Allah, the Most High that he would live over 22 years and six months after making the claim to divine revelations? The Holy Qur’an says: “And as for the bounty of your Lord do relate it to others” (93:12). If Janbah Sahib has indeed received such a bounty, why is he not proclaiming it?

In Defence of Hadhrat Khalifa Sani (ra)- III


Abdul Ghaffar Janbah Sahib of Germany, the man who claims to be the Mujaddid of the Fifteenth Century and the Imam of the Age, has a disciple by the name of Mansoor Ahmed Sahib.  In a recent article, the latter has responded to the first part of my essay In Defence of Hadhrat Khalifa Sani (ra)- I& II, published here at the Sahih Al Islam Blogspot, on May 02- 03, 2011

From the response article [available at their website: www.alghulam.com ], it is absolutely clear:  The entire claim of Janbah Sahib hangs precariously on a string of a feeble, single argument: that Hadhrat Khalifa Sani (ra) completed only 22 years and six months after claiming to be the Musleh Maoud and did not complete 23 years as per the Qur’anic Law on the subject as perceived by him!

The term “satanic theory” was used in my essay to describe Janbah Sahib’s theory to malign the reputation of Hadhrat Khalifa Sani (ra). Now Mansoor Ahmed Sahib has taken righteous indignation at the use of the term “satanic theory”. He seems to think, wrongly in my opinion, that the term “satanic theory” has been used in the essay to describe the very Qur’anic principle in this regard. Willful misrepresentation or deliberate distortion cannot be the objective or the intention of a believer. So, I assume that the writer is under a genuine misconception about the issue. Let me explain it for him.

JUSAI: Public Meeting in Kerala-II

At a special Programme organized to mark the successful, historic, first public meeting of the Sahih Al Islam Community in Kerala, Hadhrat Khalifatullah Munir Ahmad Azim Sahib offered some insightful comments throwing light on the fortunes of believers in the time of a Divine Manifestation. 

Read the Extracts from the Speech:

And that those who have been given the knowledge may know that it is the truth from your Lord, so they may believe in it and their hearts may be lowly before it; and most surely Allah is the Guide of those who believe into a right path. (22:55) 

Who are those who believe in it (and submit to this divine commandment)? They are those who recognise the advent of a Messenger of Allah. By the grace of Allah, the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam members, those who have not seen the Khalifatullah of this age have believed in this humble self, and despite not seeing me in flesh and blood, yet they believed in the veracity of Allah and His Messenger and they are foremost to do exceptional works for the progress of Deen-i-Islam. They have recognized the instructions (the knowledge) bestowed upon them by Allah, to be the truth and they have believed in it, and their hearts also are convinced on this truth.

The Philosophy of Spiritual Renewal


“Verily, We Ourselves have sent down this Exhortation, and most surely We will be its Guardian” 
-[HQ, 15:10]

In the early Muslim Community, there were hundreds of people who knew and could recite the whole of the Holy Qur’an from memory, as they learnt it from the Holy Prophet Muhammad (sa). And the early Muslim Khulafa took practical measures to ensure that the Holy Book is preserved in written form as well. Beyond the physical protection of the text of the Holy Qur’an, Divine reformers (Mujaddidin) have always appeared in every century of Islam, to illuminate the teachings and to provide practical example for every generation.

In a recent speech, the Khalifatul Massih V of the Ahmadiyya Community has argued that there is no need for reformers any more. The Khalifatullah Hadhrat Munir Ahmad Azim Sahib now points out that such thinking is mistaken and is against what Allah and His Messenger has taught us. In a speech on June 14, 2011, Hadhrat Sahib (atba) reflected on the Qur’anic perspective for the preservation of the Holy Qur’an for all times through the advent of reformers.

Read the Extracts from the Speech:

“Now, the question which is crucial to ponder over: Is it only through Hufaaz (the guardians of the Holy Quran, who know it by heart) or by writing (into the form of a Book) that the Quran shall be preserved?
