Greetings for Narendra Modi

In the course of his Friday sermon of 23 May 2014 ~ (23 Rajab 1435 Hijri) the Khalifatullah Hadhrat Munir Ahmad Azim Sahib (atba) of Mauritius took note of, and spoke briefly on, the recently concluded general elections in India and the consequent political changes unfolding in the country. The dismal fortunes of the long ruling Nehru-Gandhi political dynasty in the elections is in line with the larger global trend of popular anger against abuse of power and the cancer of corruption eating into the vitals of the polity and impacting on people's everyday lives. The extraordinary popular mandate for the leadership of Narendra Mody and his Bharatiya Janata Party, the right-wing, Hindu party in the country, presents him with an uncommon opportunity to serve the nation and the world. The Khalifatullah (atba) and the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam International, including the national branches of the Jamaat in India, wish all success for Narendra Modi in his great responsibility as the Prime Minister-elect of India.

Before ending, I would like to say some words on the recent parliamentary elections in India which have been those of all records.

Spread over a period of Five weeks, the world's largest general elections  took place in India during April-May 2014, with over 600 million citizens eventually exercising their franchise). 

The vote count gave its verdict and the Hindu Nationalist Party of Narendra Modi celebrated a crushing victory while the Congress party was severely beaten. The Hindu Nationalist Party of Narendra Modi is promising a “new era” based on the boosting of the economy after ten years of having the Congress Party in power. This triumph of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) reshapes the Indian political landscape, transforming the Hindu Nationalist Party in national political power at the expense of the Congress Party of Gandhi-Nehru dynasty which has been reduced to the bare; this being a hard blow to such a Party which was used to leading the country. But the BJP leader is viewed with suspicion by the Muslim minority since the 2002 riots in Gujarat.

Opposed to the BJP, the Congress party comes out of these elections worn out after ten years of power, scandals, corruption and they have been punished (by the people) for their repeated incapability to revive growth and curb inflation. It has quickly recognized its defeat and this could be the most scathing one in its history. The Gandhi-Nehru dynasty in India faces a fight for survival after an electoral drubbing at the hands of the opposition leader Narendra Modi.

In this century many dynasties are disappearing, Insha-Allah, be it at political level as well as at religious (spiritual) level (especially those who take themselves as the heirs of the religious power, as if they are glued to their seats of power, and they think nobody can get them out from there. They forgot that there is a Creator of the universe who holds absolute power. He does what He wills and He replaces what (or whomever) He wants.

Renewal of Faith among the Muslims

In a historic Friday Sermon delivered at Abu Dhabi, UAE on 09 May 2014- (09 Rajab 1435 AH), the Muhyi-ud-Din, Khalifatullah Hadhrat Munir Ahmad Azim Sahib (atba) of Mauritius spoke profoundly and feelingly on the dismal state of spirituality among the Muslims in our times. Notwithstanding apaprent signs of religiousity among the masses, the kernel of faith has slipped out of their minds and every day lives and the Ummah of the Holy Prophet (sa), in the pursuit of material interests, gropes in the wilderness of synthetic pleasures. To rejuvenate the common Muslims and thereby, reclaim Islam through providing a living, practical, contemporary model in our times, Allah (twa) has raised His servant and blessed him with His revelations and messages. Conveying this message of hope and the glad tiding of Divine Blessings to an audience that included many Arab Muslims who were listening to his words directly for the first time, Hadhrat Sahib (atba) cautioned them against hasty rejection and counselled for considered reflection on the Sermon.

A Divine Servant for the service of Islam

O you, who are present here today, listen to my words. It is inconceivable that God could have bestowed His trust to whoever spreads his nets to lure His creatures, which makes them go astray instead of guiding them, who is an enemy of Islam firmly decided to ruin it, who never made the face of Islam sparkle with the light of truth, who never spent his nights or days in the remembrance of Islam and never made ​​an effort to revive it, one who, on the contrary with his lies would add to the already accumulated dirt in the minds of men who, by falsehoods, would have raised the dust of controversy among Muslims. 

No, what is certain is that God always humiliates and crushes such impostors and ranks them among the cursed. Since long, I receive revelations but I did not told anyone then and it was only when I was directly ordered to announce it that I comply with the order. Therefore, my mission is to eradicate the evils and errors; I must also fight against injustice and properly guide the righteous, while the impure and the proud who stand on the sidelines; they will be crushed by the strength of divine arguments.

A Dawa Mission in Dubai and Abu Dhabi

As part of his recent transnational Dawa Mission, the Khalifatullah Hadhrat Munir Ahmad Azim Sahib (atba) of Mauritius journeyed across the Indian Ocean to the island-states of Sri Lanka and Maldives in South Asia, and also to the coastal state of United Arab Emirates (UAE) in the Persian Gulf, in April-May 2014. As we have already documented Hadhrat Sahib’s visit to Sri Lanka and also the historic Friday Sermon in the Maldives delivered during this period, the present report focuses on the visit to Dubai and Abu Dhabi.  (To read the previous articles in the series, click here: 1, 2).

After setting his feet on the UAE lands, Hadhrat Sahib (atba) started the Dawa mission with the immigrant workers in the country- people of the Pakistani and Indian origin- Kerala, Kashmir, Peshawar and also of Bangladesh origin and the other parts of the world are employed in large numbers in the city-states of UAE.

The most fantastic events which happened in both the Arab countries-Dubai and Abu Dhabi- are that the Arabs listened with great attention to the message of the advent of a Khalifatullah in this era, someone who has come from Allah to revive Islam in its authenticity, to continue the great mission of our beloved prophet Muhammad (sa).
