Recently, in April-May 2014, the Khalifatullah Hadhrat Munir Ahmad Azim
Sahib (atba) of Mauritius undertook an International Dawah Mission to three different countries – Sri Lanka, Maldives and the United
Arab Emirates (Dubai & Abu Dhabi). At one level, the visit and preaching
was part of the organizational work of the Jamaat
Ul Sahih Al Islam International, to meet with the well-wishers and new
disciples, to propagate the message of the Divine Mission and also to
procedurally register and enlist the Jamaat functions on a legal and
institutional basis in these respective countries. (Inset: the Sacred Fig tree in Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka. It is said to be a sapling from the
original Bodhi tree under which the historical Buddha became enlightened. It
was planted in 288 BC, and is the oldest living human-planted tree in the world
with a known planting date.)
At another level, Hadhrat Sahib (atba), as the Divine servant of our times, was
redeeming the pious wish and great hope of the Promised Massih Hadhrat Ahmad (as)
to take the message of Islam to the corners of the world, especially to the peoples
and nations that follow beliefs other than Islam, and also to renew the Muslims
who, in their own individual and social journeys of life, have fallen away from
the essence of the spirit and richness of the religion of Allah.
In a Speech made at Colombo, Sri Lanka on Tuesday, 29 April 2014, the Khalifatullah
(atba) spoke about the sublime and extraordinary legacy of the Holy Prophet of
Islam (sa) whose Divine Mission was specially blessed by time and history. He
spoke profoundly on the strategies of preservation Allah (twa) Himself brought
about in the fullness of time whereby the essential Message of Islam remained among
the people long after the great Arabian Prophet who lived over a millennium ago,
left from the gladiator of history. While all other Messengers before him spoke
in tongues that lost their vitality and died in the march of history, the
language of Arabic- the tongue of the Qur’an-
surged ahead and embraced new lands and peoples and became the vehicle for the
flowering of culture and civilization in the medieval age, and also in our own times, it retains its vitality as one of the transnational languages, as recognized by the UN systems as well. While the ideational influences of the
Islamic world appealed to the hearts and minds of other peoples who came under
its magical spell of sublime spirituality, the old Messages in other belief systems got mythicized and reduced
into fantastic legends.
Moreover, the Khalifatullah (atba) pointed attention to the Qur’anic
arrangement of spiritual renewal of Islam in every age. It is a binding
commitment of the Creator of the Qur’an, to preserve the spirit of Islam. And
the raising of Divine Reformers in every century is, as the Promised Massih (as) pointed out in the last century, the
profound method through which the spiritual preservation and renewal of Islam take place. Such renewal of faith is only through the practical, living example
of a Divine soul, who is raised to lead his earthily life in the very midst of his
own people. While acknowledging that he belongs to the larger chain of such
Divinely-raised souls, the Khalifatullah (atba) calls the attention of one and
all to struggle with their own souls to understand the larger purpose of life
and to attach themselves to the narrow and straight path of true spirituality.
