Vilification of Holy Prophet: Prophecy on the Culprits

Today, in the garb of freedom of speech and expression, press freedom and European liberty, the common faith of the Muslims and the sacred symbols of Islamic spiritualism are under attack in Europe. The ‘creative spirit’ of ‘libertarian’ (and ‘liberated’) individuals does not seem to respect any notions of limits. Nor do they recognize any restraints whatsoever. In the name of opposing radical Islamic elements, the European Press is targeting the founder of Islam, the Holy Prophet (sa), hurting and bruising the spiritual sensibility of millions and millions of common Muslims everywhere, leading to protests and even violence and police clashes and demonstrations. When a society stretches liberty on its head and encourages anarchical voyage of the mind, it invites certain, negative consequences in its wake. That is why in most civilized societies, notions of reasonable restraints and proportionality are part of the judicial tests to preserve the social order in tact. Confusing individual freedom to express oneself with the liberty to abuse the faith and feelings of others is a sure way to invite social trouble and communal disharmony.

With the gradual ascendance of Muslim populations in western Europe with an upsurge of immigrants from North Africa and also the other regions of Europe where the genocidal killing of Muslims have taken place in the last decades, historic prejudices and jaundiced perceptions on Islam and on the common Muslims, are increasingly regaining currency among Europeans, in a social and political milieu where radical elements among the youth resort to terror as a political strategy to take on despicable, imperial regimes that oppress and destroy Muslim lives and lands. In a society and culture where nothing remains as sacred and spiritual, the hatred against ordinary Muslims transforms itself into the satirical raping of Islam's holiest symbols and the abuse and vilification of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (sa) on a daily basis in newspapers. 

The recent explosion of hatred against Muslim immigrants in Europe and especially, the eruption of more disgusting cartoons on the Holy person of Hazrat Muhammad (sa) in Denmark, Sweden “Nerikes Allehanda” (at the end of August) and France “Charlie Hebdo” (November 2011) must be seen in this backdrop . While the Swedish newspaper pictured the Holy Prophet of Islam as a dog (God Forbid!), the French magazine has depicted “a cartoon of the prophet Muhammad on the cover as “guest editor”. 

In the aftermath of the first cartoons made on the Holy Prophet Muhammad (sa) in Denmark (Jyllands-Posten) [Inset: Kurt Westergaard – Danish cartoonist who pictured the Holy Prophet having bombs on his head], Khalifatullah Hadhrat Munir Ahmad Azim (atba) of Mauritius had sent a warning letter to the Prime Minister of of DenmarkMr. Anders Fogh Rasmussen, calling his attention to the dangerous trends in his society. Reminding the people concerned that all are children of Adam, Hadhrat Khalifatullah (atba) pointedly asked them:  “If one brother is hurting another, do you call that “civilized, democratization, liberty, freedom of expression” to sadistically rape the pure religion of Islam and going beyond the limits of morality and ethics?” 

The Khalifatullah (atba) advised them to “repent for your actions and asks God forgiveness and stand before the Islamic World and apologize sincerely towards your Islamic brothers because you have hurt us in the most atrocious ways”. He further WARNED: What is really needed is that you must fear the great calamity, destruction and divine punishment; a severe punishment, which comes from God Almighty, if, you do not repent. If you continue to tarnish the pure reputation of the Holy Prophet of God, God Himself will deal with you. God Almighty has said in Chapter 21 “The Prophets” of the Holy Quran:And how many a township that acted wrongfully have We utterly destroyed, and raised up after it another people!’  So reflect well on this verse of the Holy Quran before it is too late”.

Instead of benefiting from the wisdom of the message, the Caricaturists are parading their crime before the world more and more. In a Divinely-inspired message on December 07, 2011 Hadhrat Khalifatullah (atba) reiterates his warnings and passed on this message[t]he consequences of these people shall be grievous after what they have done. Allah Almighty shall seize them for the way they depicted His beloved Messenger (sa). “These wretched ones shall burn in the greatest of fires, and they shall neither die nor live. Divine malediction shall pursue them in this world till they meet their final destruction.”

‘Janbah Sahib, Your Days Are Counted’!


In the aftermath of the Mubahila Challenge issued by Khalifatullah Hadhrat Munir Ahmad Azim Sahib (atba) of Mauritius against the Mujaddid claimant Abdul Ghaffar Janbah Sahib of Kiel, Germany and his disciple Mansoor Ahmed Sahib, the opposite parties concerned are adopting diversion tactics to avoid the Challenge altogether and thereby evade the inevitable, if possible! Indeed, the Mubahila challenge has hit them very hard, so much so that the response shows either they are out of their minds or stupidity has no limits!

How else can one explain a situation where the challenge is raised by a Divinely-raised Imam and the response is to take the focus away from the issue altogether? The Mubahila Document was sent to the last known address of Abdul Ghaffar Janbah Sahib on November 24, 2011. Instead of promptly accepting it as a golden opportunity to prove his worth with Divine Help and succour and signing and stamping it with his official seal, the Janbah Sahib sat over the matter for more than a couple of weeks. He later, issued a very vaguely-worded, decision to accept the Challenge on December 10, 2011.

While in his statement Janbah Sahib merely expressed a wish to see this humble person’s signature (Fazil Jamal) on the Document based on my previous critical notes on his claims and requested to the Khalifatullah for the separate inclusion of my name in the Document, his disciple Mansoor Ahmed Sahib has later elevated the wish/request of his Guru into a legitimate demand initially and now, a condition precedent for the signature of his own and that of his Guru! So much so that unless I sign on the Document, they would not dare to sign it!!

Before ending his last Friday Sermon for the year 2011, on December 30, 2011 Hadhrat Khalifatullah (atba) took note of the situation. Read the extracts from the Sermon:

Celebrating ‘Christmas’


The very basis of modern Christianity and its foundational theological concepts are shrouded in mythical haze. No less a festival than the ‘Christmas’- celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ (as)- itself reminds one about the extraordinary theological engineering that underpins and sustains the constructed belief systems of contemporary Christians. In his Friday Sermon of December 23, 2011 Khalifatullah Hadhrat Munir Ahmad Azim Sahib (atba) spoke about the dimensions of mystery surrounding the faith and the futility of Christmas when viewed through the prism of pristine spirituality. As the Divinely-raised Warner of this (spiritually) empty age, Hadhrat Sahib reminds Muslims-including Ahmadis and their leader- against indulging in vain pursuits-such as celebration of Christmas- that takes one away from the true path of Allah.

Read the extracts from the Friday Sermon:     

”…
That Jesus is the central figure and the very soul of Christian theology is manifestly clear. Without some kind of belief in his Christhood, whichever way may it be defined by various denominations and scholarly theologians, the very foundations of Christianity are totally altered. Throughout the last two thousand years, hundreds of millions of Christians have been sustained in their beliefs through their deep faith in the life of Jesus. The miraculous character attributed to his birth, the stories of the miracles he performed, his encounters with the Romans, Israelites and other gentiles, and finally, his crucifixion provide the basic ingredients which have continued to nourish this leading religion of the western world not only today but through the centuries past.


Yet, it is rather strange, indeed ironic, that most important events of his life have always remained veiled in mystery. Was he born of a virgin mother? When was he born? Why is hardly anything known about his life from early infancy to the time when he proclaimed his ministry? How long did his ministry last? Who were really responsible for his being led to the cross – hostile Jewish leaders or the Roman rulers? Did he really die during the few hours that he was on the cross or was he only unconscious when he was taken off the cross with unusual haste? If there was a resurrection, then who were the eye-witnesses, if any? What is the significance of the blood stains of the shroud in which he was temporarily wrapped and which is now preserved in the Cathedral of Turin, Italy? [Inset: An image of Christ which corresponds exactly to the Shroud of Turin]. Did he leave Palestine for the eastern regions to accomplish his proclaimed mission of having come for the lost tribes of Israel? These and several other issues about the life of Jesus of Nazareth have continued to challenge the curiosity of the Christian as well as the non-Christian scholars.

The Curious Case of Mansoor Ahmed Sahib

Mansoor Ahmed Sahib, the disciple of the Mujaddid claimant Abdul Ghaffar Janbah Sahib of Kiel, Germany has been and is at the forefront of articulating the viewpoint of his Guru on various spiritual matters. On the question of the fulfilment of prophecy Zaki Ghulam/ Musleh Maoud, Mansoor Ahmed Sahib kept writing in the last year or so, the responses from his Guru’s perspective on the issues and points raised by the Imam of the Age Hadhrat Munir Ahmad Azim Sahib of Mauritius (atba). In his polemical writings defending the position of his Guru, Mansoor Sahib has had no qualms about describing people who differ with him and follow a different interpretation as “religious criminals”.   

It is no accident, then, that the Imam of the Age has decided to include his name along with his Guru in his Mubahila Challenge of November 21, 2011. The challenge is available here:  http://sahih-al-islam.blogspot.com/2011/12/mubahila-may-allah-curse-liars.html ]. A month after the declaration of Mubahila Challenge, the Document remains yet ot be signed by the opposite parties concerned- Janbah Sahib and Mansoor Ahmed Sahib. 

In stead of promptly accepting the challenge and signing on the page prepared by the Imam Sahib, Janbah Sahib and  his disciple are manufacturing excuses to look for avoiding the Challenge altogether. Is it to delay the inevitable destruction of their agenda at the Court of Allah? In his public statement of December 10, 2011 Janab Abdul Ghaffar Janbah Sahib gave expression to his intent to accept the Mubahila challenge along with his Jamaat with a rider. He did not sign the Document citing that the signature of this humble person (Fazil Jamal) is not included in the Document as though without my signature, the Mubahila cannot proceed at all!

Nasir Ahmad Sultani and the Intoxication of Death


Where angels fear to tread, troublesome Satans rush in. It is often the intoxication of death that drives them blindly to the wilful suspension of spiritual logic and the consequent attempted subversion of the Divine Plan, leaving a trail of Signs and proofs in favour of the truth and veracity of the chosen Messenger of Allah.

As we have reported, the Khalifatullah Hadhrat Munir Ahmad Azim Sahib recently rendered a word of advice and warning to the Mujaddid claimant Nasir Ahmad Sultani of Pakistan. [This advice/warning is available here: http://sahih-al-islam.blogspot.com/2011/10/warning-to-nasir-ahmad-sultani.html ]. In the aftermath of this advice by the Khalifatullah, Sultani Sahib rushed to describe Hadhrat Sahib a “liar” (God Forbid). In his Friday Sermon of December 16, 2011, Hadhrat Sahib responded to the comments of Sultani Sahib.

Calling the bluff of Nasir Ahmad Sultani’s pretence that he is the chosen one of this era, the Khalifatullah in the speech invites him to a Mubahila Duel.  The recent Mubahila Challenge issued by Hadhrat Khalifatullah, though primarily addressed to Abdul Ghaffar Janbah Sahib of Germany, is for all those who consider him a liar. Nasir Ahmad Sultani has now a golden opportunity to walk his glib talk: come to the Court of Allah and officially sign and date the document; come in the Court of Allah, accept this Challenge of Mubahila”, exhorts the Khalifatullah.

Qur’an Burning: ‘Terry Jones, You shall be reduced to Dust’


On 30 August 2010, the Messenger of Allah Hadhrat Munir Ahmad Azim Sahib (atba) issued an absolutely clear warning to anti-Islam hate monger Mr. Terry Jones of USA: retain your sanity and desist from burning the sacred book of Muslims, the Book of Allah, the Holy Qur’an! In the warning message, the Khalifatullah stated:

“… but there are always a party of them who act like snakes in the grass! The concrete proof of it is you at the Dove World Outreach Centre and specially a certain Mr. Terry Jones, and also the creator/s of the website religionofpeace.com!) So, all the Quran, Islam and Muhammad haters, bear in mind that according to the law of God, to each person his religion. Thus, do not impede on the sacred honour of Muslims by burning God’s Holy Book, for if you think that its place is the fire, then how would you feel when the day comes and God decrees your eternal resting-place the fire of Hell. Indeed what a worst resting-place that would be.

But before the fire of Hell touches you, then, bear in mind that your punishment will commence in this very temporal life itself. Do not challenge God by burning His Book, or else you will be reduced to dust in no time at all!

Mubahila: May Allah Curse the Liars!


On November 21, 2011 the Messenger of Allah Hadhrat Munir Ahmad Azim Sahib (atba) invoked the ultimate armament of a servant of Allah against his persistent objectors: Mubahila or the Duel of Prayer. He challenged the Mujaddid claimant Abdul Ghaffar Janbah Sahib of Germany and his disciple Mansoor Ahmed Sahib and their entire group to Mubahila

Read the extracts from the Official Statement:  


In the Name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful


INVITATION TO DUEL OF PRAYER (CHALLENGE OF MUBAHILA) TO ABDUL GHAFFAR JANBAH SAHIB, MANSOOR AHMED SAHIB & THEIR GROUP



As Almighty Allah said in the Holy Quran (Al-Imran Chapter 3 Verse 62): “If anyone argues with you, despite the knowledge you have received, then say, “Let us summon our children and your children, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves, then let us invoke Allah’s curse upon the liars.”

MUNIR AHMAD AZIM of Mauritius challenges Abdul Ghaffaar Janbah Sahib of Kiel, Germany and Mansoor Ahmed, the disciple of Abdul Ghaffaar Janbah Sahib who have accused this humble self along with the son of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) – Hazrat Mirza Bashiruddin Mahmood Ahmad (ra) – of imposture and that the latter was not the Promised Reformer (Musleh Maoud) awaited by his noble father (as). As this humble self is a firm believer in Hazrat Mirza Bashiruddin Mahmood Ahmad (ra), Janbah Sahib and his disciple are adamant to label him and this humble self as false and that our proclamations also are false.

Despite the fact that I have refuted him several times (and even through a recent refutation on 15 August 2011) and even invited him (Abdul Ghaffaar Janbah Sahib) openly and officially to a Mubahila Challenge through one of my in-charge of correspondences, Fazil Jamal Sahib, but he (the claimer of being the real Musleh Maoud) has not come forward to accept this Mubahila Challenge. He and his disciple are adamant in persisting in their ignorance and to attack this humble self and this humble self’s sincere and loyal disciple, Fazil Jamal Sahib (who is Alhamdulillah very attached to the Khalifatullah of this era and the Divine Manifestation and Mission).
