22- 23 December 2021. On the occasion of the special meeting of the Siraj Makin Djawharat-ul-Kamal, the respected International Sadr Hazrat Ummul Mu'mineen Fazli Amena Saheba addressed the women of the Jamaat, encouraging members to find their true calling in life in service of Islam- being devout Muslims personally, in the family and socially: true role models for others to emulate in the community by becoming the precious pearls of the Faith. Reproduced Below is the text of the Special Message: 


'My dear daughters of the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam of Kerala, Assalamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakaatuhu.   


Today it’s an immense pleasure for me to address some words to you on the occasion of this special gathering, the Jalsa Salana of the Jamaat of Kerala of this year 2021.    


Hazrat Massih Ma’ud (as) organized the Jalsa Salana so as to have all his disciples in India as well as those who are found in other parts of the world come together for the following reasons: 


1) To listen to the words of God, 

2) To know each other, 

3) To share happiness, sorrows, trials and tribulations which each one is faces when accepting a Messenger of God, 

4) To share revelations received by Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as), 

5) To make all Muslims and other communities join as one family.

Divine Signs: A Memoir

 

[The world of Islam earnestly hopes for the advent of a Divine Elect in the End Times- the Days of Satanic Mischief. All Muslims agree that Allah (swt), in His infinite Wisdom and Mercy for mankind, could and would raise a Khalifatullah to reinforce His original message taught through countless Prophets in the past. Just like the arrival of an Elect of God in the person of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) of Qadian (1835-1908) rejuvenated the ranks of the Muslims in the last century, Islam as taught by the Holy Prophet (sa) and his spiritual Khulafa over the previous centuries also calls for spiritual renewal in the present century. Indeed, it is this pious spiritual hope of Islam that is redeemed through the Divine Manifestation in Mauritius- the advent of a Divine Elect- Hazrat Munir Ahmad Azim Saheb (aba) of Mauritius- in the beginning years of the new millennium- 2000-01, Alhamdulillah, Summa Alhamdulillah.  


Whenever a servant of the Gracious Lord appears on the spiritual horizon, there are the Signs that clearly point to such a Divine appointment- a study of which will certainly strengthen the faith of the believer, and plausibly benefit the people in general, if truth is indeed what they are seeking when they study these Divine Signs. Speaking about the Signs of an Elect of God or the advent of a Divine Manifestation among the people in a new era, Hazrat Massih Maoud (as) made certain prescient observations in one of his books on the larger theme: 


“...when the Imam of the age appears in the world, thousands upon thousands of lights accompany him and heaven is filled with joy. With the dissemination of spirituality and light, the right potentialities become alive. Anyone who has the capacity begins to experience a series of revelations. And anyone who has the capacity to pronounce judgement in matters of faith by the use of reason and reflection, his ability is enhanced. Anyone who has the inclination towards prayers is granted pleasure in his worship. Anyone who is engaged in debates with other faiths is given the power to argue and arrive at incontrovertible conclusions. All these blessings are in fact the outcome of the spiritual radiation which comes with the Imam of the age and descends upon the heart of every ready and eager person. This is a general law and a Divine practice, to which we have been guided by the Holy Quran and authentic Hadith, and our personal experience have testified to it. 

The age of the Promised Messiah(as), however, has even greater distinction in that it is recorded in the books of earlier Prophets and Hadith of the Holy Prophet(sa) that, at the time of his advent, this radiation of spirituality will become so universal that women too will begin to receive revelations, minors will make prophecies, and ordinary people will be inspired by the Holy Spirit. All this will be a reflection of the spirituality of the Promised Messiah(as)... all revelational light is a reflection of the light of the Imam of the age...”  [Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian, Darurat-ul-Imam: The need for the Imam, pp.6-7,  English edn; London: Islam International Publications Ltd, (2007).

Poem: 'The Light of Your Face'

 

It is You who wipe the tears

It is You who change the fears

It is You who walk beside

Where there is none to guide.

And the way is full of beasts

For whom the men are feasts

You give the courage and Will

And that, to Heart's Fill



You take us to the goal

Safe and sound and whole

You are by my side

You are my Help and Guide
