'Divine Revelations are not the Inspirations of Mind'

A very serious misconception which is prevailing in my time, in this era with a divine manifestation, and which has undermined the foundations of all religions, so that the very essence of religion is being completely revolutionized as a result of which, in place of the divine light of revelation, it is the ideas and conceptions of the human mind which are being substituted and put forward as the truth and thus it is that entirely erroneous definition of revelation which has found general acceptance. Independence of thoughts and the length of time which had elapsed since the appearance of the seal of prophets Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh) had led the greater portion of the world to believe that revelation was mere inspiration of the mind. This was due, to the belief and conception that God could not speak in words as He was not a materiel Being and was not dependent upon material means like men.

I explain from my personal experience that revelation is conveyed in words and the mode of conveying is as certain and free from doubt as the talking of one man to another. If revelation was not to be conveyed in words, it could not be entirely free from doubt and could not lead to perfect certainty. For, perceiving every inspiration as divine revelation, every man can fancy himself inspired and thus deceive himself and mislead mankind, as has actually happened in several instances since this erroneous conception of revelation has found currency. 

Revelation is intended to remove doubts and misconceptions, and if it is not conveyed in words, it opens, still wider the doors of doubt and uncertainty for there is then no means of distinguishing between revelation and the fancies of a man’s own mind. Revelation is conveyed in words possessing extraordinary glory and majesty, and also a dialogue is possible between God and man in the same manner as between two men, so that a recipient of revelation attains to that degree of certainty which dispenses with any further proof or argument.

Into the sunset: Navin Ramgoolam

Before closing my sermon, I would like to say a few words on the Charges and Arrest which the ex-Prime Minister of Mauritius, Navinchandra Ramgoolam had to undergo since last Friday 06 February 2015. It never pays to be arrogant and creating such an atmosphere as to make Mauritius be led by autocratic leadership disguised as a democratic one. 

You will recall my dear disciples that since 2010, I and some of our members have gone from circumscription to circumscription to pray that Allah overturns such a leader and political party whose agenda is to finish Mauritius, bringing Mauritians to a state of poverty and tight economic state. And you will recall that recently in the midst of the general elections 2014, I told you about a dream in which Sir Aneerood Jugnauth was not condemning Paul Berenger, but instead praising him for the strategies that he has (to clean Mauritius and the Labour Party also). 

And you are witnessing that since Friday, 06 February, 2015 the former Prime Minister Navin Ramgoolam has been placed under arrest. He even spent a few hours in the Moka detention centre before being brought before the Bail and Remand Court. Last weekend has been hell for him; he was torn between searches and going back and forth to the Central CID to give statements over statements, and counting the millions of money (more than Rs. 185 millions which was seized at his house in two massive safes and suitcases) before the Central CID, the Police Force, Lawyers, representatives of the Bank of Mauritius and the Government officials. He is a suspect of money laundering and being involved in the Roche-Noire Murder case. He was arrested and humiliated amidst thousands of Mauritians who assembled at his house to see the end of his political career, and witnessing his arrest.

A Message of Peace for the Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya

Some Ahmadi Muslim brothers grope in the darkness of their sheer ignorance of a sublime reality among them. They, in their naivety, harp absolutely baseless and foolishly wrong notions on the advent of a Man of God among them, the Khalifatullah (a Reviver of Faith/ a Messenger of Allah) Hadhrat Munir Ahmad Azim Sahib (atba) of Mauritius who speaks with the help of the Holy Spirit (Roohul Qudus). They delude themselves with suspicion and ill feelings, as they consider that the advent of the Khalifatullah (atba) will destroy the Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya as they know it, instead of seeing it as the very fulfillment of the sacred revelations vouchsafed to, and grand prophecies made by, the Promised Massih Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) of Qadian in the previous era. 

Some Ahmadis in India have recently asked us certain questions regarding the origins of the Divine Manifestation in Mauritius and its relationship, encounters with the Nizam-e-Jamaat , sharing their view that with the descent of Divine revelations on him, the Nizam-e-Jamaat should have been informed about the matter so that they could have a fair chance to comprehend the sublime reality and deeper roots of the Divine Manifestation and to accommodate themselves within it and partake of the enduring Divine blessings on offer. As we have always maintained, the Khalifatullah Hadhrat Munir Ahmad Azim Sahib (atba) and the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam do not harbour any ill will, hatred or malice against any Ahmadi brothers, it is the nizam-e-Jamaat that has enforced with the manifestly un-Islamic and despicable policy of social boycott against us, with its dire consequences for the Islamic decency, elementary courtesies of spiritual brotherhood and destroyed the behavioural propriety of the common Ahmadis, who were unfortunately instigated to keep malice, ill will and hatred for us, instead of love and affection and fellow feeling for fellow brothers in the Jamaat of the Promised Massih (as). 

Even 14 years after the enforcement of the social boycott policy on us during the last days of the previous caliph, the Khalifatullah Hadhrat Munir Ahmad Azim Saheb (atba) reiterates and renews his message of love and peace. During his recent visit to the United Kingdom, the Khalifatullah (atba) wrote a letter to the present Head of the nizam-e-Jamaat, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad Saheb, a message filled with the desire for the recognition of Truth and the reconciliation of spiritual brothers under the umbrella of the Divine Manifestation, Alhamdulillah, Soumma Alhamdulillah .

Allah says in the Holy Quran: “The believers are but brothers, so make settlement between your brothers. And fear Allah that you may receive mercy.” (49: 11)
