Triumph of Islam: Our Obligations

Advent of the Khalifatullah
As the Khalifatullah of this era, I am telling you again and again that in our present times, Allah has not neglected this world. He has established the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam and He is the one to have sent a man from among yourselves, that is, this humble servant (of Allah) who is present before you, who sits among you, talk with you and you are indeed fortunate that you are living in such a era where the divine grace is pouring down from the heavens like rain falls in the times of drought.

I tell all those who have believed in me, you are surely very blessed to be living in the times of a prophet of Allah. Therefore, pray a lot and establish brotherhood and recite a lot the Darood Shareef which is an excellent means to acquire (and strengthen) brotherhood. Do not do all this by routine. Take into consideration the great deeds which our beloved prophet Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh) has taught us and you shall receive the delicious fruits of the realisation of your supplications (duas).

Obedience and Sacrifice
Consider the example of the battle of Uhud, after the partial defeat of the Muslims just because of the disobedience which some Muslims showed against the orders of the Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh). Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh) placed them in a place on a hill and told them come what may not to move from there, but when they perceived that the enemies were not coming their way to attack (thinking that they were moving away in defeat), they thought the orders of the Holy Prophet (pbuh) were now irrelevant. Therefore, they abandoned the instructed place. Had the Muslims placed on that hill shown strict obedience to the prophet Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh), there would not have been any defeat. We must realise the importance of the discipline when showing obedience to a prophet of Allah. To be able to see achievements/victories, one must show an example of devotion, submission and total obedience to the Elect of Allah.

The truth shall triumph and the sun of Islam shall once again rise like the first time with the advent of the noble prophet (pbuh). This sun shall reach its zenith, in all its splendour like before. The heavens can delay that victory, but we, the Sahih al Islam shall have to make many efforts in the field of spirituality and make great sacrifices of wealth and leisure. Bear this in mind and do not be dejected at all. Before the victory of Islam, we must have to suffer a lot of humiliations and disgrace. The renaissance of Islam necessitates a great sacrifice from us. What is this sacrifice? It is dying in the path of Allah and His divine teachings and verily the life of Islam shall depend on that death.

Truth about the Whispering Campaign-II

Recently, an Ahmadi working for the Ahmadiyya Association in Mauritius travelled to Kerala (India), spreading misleading accusations about the Divine Manifestation in Mauritius among the Ahmadis in Kerala. The calumnies thus spread had been, in its turn, deployed by the ignorant Ahmadi Mullahs in Kerala, in an attempt to deviate real seekers after truth by creating confusion on the issues involved. In his Friday Sermons of May 16 and 23, 2014 the Khalifatullah Hadhrat Munir Ahmad Azim Sahib (atba) comprehensively covered the subject matter of the present allegations by unveiling the true facts behind them, in their proper material-setting and spiritual-context.

When a Divine servant appears among a people/ in a society, it is a time of trials and challenges for all those who come in the orbit of the Divine Manifestation. The ensuing process of strong churning of trials and persecutions shall unsettle each one of the believers who say he or she believes in the Divine servant and  accept the Divine blessing. Based on one’s own sincerity of heart and capability to withstand fierce storms of personal trials, one may find attached with, or detached from, the circle of the Divine servant. After all, a ‘diamond’ becomes a ‘diamond’ only through a severe, shaping of several levels and stages of identity formation. The Friday sermons read together provide a deep insight into an important phase of  searing trials the Divine Manifestation had to patiently deal with in the last decade, in the specific context and circumstances of every day lives of the believers.

Read the Extracts from the Friday Sermon of 2014 May 23:

The 2nd accusation is that I married the mother of the child (in fact it is a concocted falsehood for there never existed such a child whom I went to remove from the hospital emergency (oxygen mask) and medical care). They related also that I then married the mother, and therefore there were social tension due to this, and this made us go into hidingWhy must I go into hiding when I am someone chosen by Allah? Why must I have the fear of man (in the heart)? I am thus making this clear:

Truth about the Whispering Campaign

In the Qur’an, Allah (swa) testifies through innumerable verses that He admits into His mercy whoever He will and place His message wherever He wish. Against this clear verdict and declaration of Allah (twa), the ruling elites invariably act with arrogance, contempt and ridicule at the advent of humble servants of Allah. When one reads the Holy Quran with attention and read the history of ancient prophets, one is drawn to conclude that there has always been an opposition against the men of God. They have been insulted, oppressed, persecuted and slandered. Their enemies hatched many plots to humiliate them and to stop their activities. But all the enemies' plans fail in the end, with the prophets being able to establish the Divine Message against all odds.   This is a formal promise from Allah: Allah has decreed: Most Surely I will prevail I and My Messengers. Verily Allah is Powerful and Mighty.” (58: 22)

The Qur’an has preserved this recurring theme of history as a template of warning for Muslims against the arrogance of rejection of Divine Reformers. Yet, as it is mostly the case, like the Qur’an says, the true significance of the message being descended on the Divine servant among them eludes most people and they end up being among the group known for hatching plots and whispering calumnies against the Divine servant. They do their worst to extinguish the Light of Allah, through their mouths and by injecting hatred for the Divine servant, on the minds of common people.

Consider the experience of the present Divine Manifestation in Mauritius. Had it not been for the fact that he is a recipient of Divine revelations and has been Divinely-entrusted with a mission of preaching Islam to one and all, the life and experiences of the Khalifatullah Hadhrat Munir Ahmad Azim Sahib (atba) of Mauritius would have been the like of his fellow countrymen, the joys and sorrows of a life lived in the present. But, time and history has other plans for him. Hence, in the last decade and beyond, ever since the advent of revelations, one could see that slanderous insults had been and continues to be, leveled against Hadhrat Sahib (atba). The storm of opposition that had broken out against the Divine Manifestation in Mauritius is truly astounding. At another level, as this Divine servant once noted, “If I had not been insulted, if there were no opposition against me, you could have doubted my claims because Allah says in the Holy Qur’an: Alas for My servants! There comes not a Messenger to them; but they mock at him (36:31).
