Friday Sermon
HAZRAT KHALIFATULLAH AL-MASSIH AL-MA’OUD
Munir Ahmad Azim
(02 Jamadul Aakhir 1432 Hijri)
(Summary of Friday Sermon)
After having greeted everybody with the Salutations of Peace, the Messiah (Massih’ullah) read the Tashahhud, Taouz and Surah Al Fatiha and then he said:
لِيُحِقَّ الْحَقَّ وَيُبْطِلَ الْبَاطِلَ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُجْرِمُونَ
“Li yuhiqqal-Haqqa wa yubtilal Baatila wa law karihal-mujrimuun.” (8:9) That He may verify the truth and annul falsehood, even though the wrongdoers hate it.
Saying and doing are two different things. Justice is such an establishment which needs to be thoroughly made and act upon without double-face or doubt.
There are Ahmadi people who cover up for their so-called Amir, ex-Amir. When a non-Ahmadi elder asked some of her family members found in the Jamaat Ahmadiyya, with respect and humility about what has happened to their Amir, thereupon some of them insulted their elder because of their ex-Amir, their idol. They are prepared to go to great lengths to cover up for their ex-Amir, including telling lies, and saying that it was the rebels who are creating disorder and spreading false rumours. They vehemently say that it is these rebels who are levelling blame on their so-called Amir and poor them, they even that: “Jamaat has not enough money, how then would there be frauds?” What a lie! They cover the truth with falsehood to honour their ex so-called Amir.
I ask these so-called Ahmadi, defender of their ex-idol:
1. If there has been no fraud, why then did the fifth caliph sent someone from London to make an enquiry? 2. If the Jamaat of Mauritius has no money, then how a cashier of the Jamaat made a fraud of Rs. 400,000 from the treasury of the Jamaat and his father was then forced to reimburse that money? 3. If their ex so-called Amir did no fraud, why then the Chaudry in the Jamaat was forced to quickly reimburse that which ‘he took without permission’? 4. If he took nothing from the treasury and did not commit any fraud, how is it that he was degraded, falling from his chair of authority as Amir, especially when his mandate as Amir was not even expired? And why did the keys, car, mobile and other things have been snatched from him and given to another one?
They have the audacity to be angry when people have come to know about what their idol, their idol has done, and they have the guts to say that people are levelling blames on him. They do not perceive anything tragic when that same idol of theirs hatched satanic plans and create hatred in the hearts of people, and along with his accomplices (so-called Mullahs), they do not hesitate to manifest this hatred on the pulpit (minbar) of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). For them all is permitted. They go ahead to level blames on innocent people, they invent lies and spread them around and their speeches and talks (interpolated words of the gospels) are to be taken as truth. At that time, nothing was done to stop them. For ten years, he and his accomplices have hatched evil plots over evil plots, lies over lies – creating a web of lies – but there was nothing done against them to stop their campaign filled with lies. All people (the Ahmadi people) believed him. All the talks he spit outrageously, only because of divine revelations; the word had been given to all Ahmadis to boycott this recipient of revelation and all those who have believed in him. The so-called Amir and his yes-men sent false reports to the caliph of the time to create disorder, and to cast us outside (the organisation of the Jamaat).
However they may try to hide their filth, to their hearts’ content, but when Allah seizes them (for their evil deeds) there is no exit from this punishment. Beware of the calamity that shall affect not only those of you who shall commit wrongs, and remember that Allah is severe in punishment. Bear in mind that those who revolt against Allah and His Chosen Messenger, without any doubt Allah is severe in giving punishment. Protect the religion of Allah (Islam); do not protect the evil-schemers, swindlers, and liars. Allah is manifesting countless signs for the Muslims and particularly so for the Ahmadis, but Allah has said in the Holy Quran:
“Wallaziina kazzabuu bi Aayaatinaa sanas-tadrijuhum-min haysu laa yalamuun.” But as for those who reject Our signs, We shall let them go towards their destruction little by little without them realising it.
And Allah (Glory be to Him) continues to say:
“Wa ‘umliilahum : inna kaydii matiin.” I shall give them a time limit; verily My plan is solid.
Have the fear of Allah; do not instil the fear of creature in your hearts. Do not cover truth with falsehood when you very well know that truth; ponder over the consequences which await you before it is too late for you. Do you not think before you talk? I am here only to give you a clear warning which comes from my Creator.
“Fabi-ayyi Hadiisim ba-dahuu yuminuun ?” What word will you accept, if you do not accept this?
Bear in mind that the one whom Allah abandons (to take the wrong path), nobody can guide him. Allah (Glory be to Him) let them loose in their confusion and extravagance.
Therefore, do not boast yourselves and do not show arrogance and when you hear the warnings or words of Allah; do not turn your backs in arrogance. Allah says in the Holy Quran:
“Inna sharradda-waaabbi indallaahis summul-buk-mullaziina la ya’qiluun.” In the eyes of Allah, the worst of animals are those who are deaf and dumb, who do not use their intelligence.
Like you are all aware, the Sai Baba died on Sunday 24 April 2011 at the age of 84. Lots of people used to take him as god on earth and there are many of his adherents in Mauritius, whom I know personally, who pray him. There is a quote which says: When you do not believe in one God, then you shall believe in a million gods. By the grace of Allah, here in Mauritius, the devotees of the Sai Baba invite me in their several conferences to address them, and thus, it is on these occasions that I seize the opportunity to talk on the unity of Allah.
In 2005, I was invited in Puttaparthy in India to participate in an inter-faith conference whereby different religious leaders of all communities were present and invited to address the audience. My family and I went there in the month of July (the 11th) 2005. Many of Sai Baba’s devotees all round the world were present at the place of conference. The next day of our arrival there, a programme was scheduled where the Sai Baba was present and he was supposed to address his devotees. That day, all guests, the religious leaders and I, were present at the front. I was sitting in front of him; and it was then that there occurred a heart-to-heart conversation between him and me. Everybody awaited him to talk but he did not do so, neither that day, nor the rest of the days till the conferences are over.
On the last day of the conference, all religious leaders were present to pass on their messages, and I was again sitting in front of the Sai Baba. This happened on 22 July 2005, after having gone to perform my Jummah in Mecca Masjid. It was on that day also that Imam Abdur Rahman Sahib and 23 other people took the oath of allegiance from my hand. When I returned back to the conference (after Jummah), a Christian priest was talking, and after him, a Jewish priest addressed the audience. I was supposed to speak next, but to my surprise another Sunni Jamaat’s Maulana from Delhi came forward to address the audience, and when he finished talking, he fell at the feet of the Sai Baba and the latter gave him a ring. I must precise here that all devotees of the Sai Baba expected him to address them. There never has been a programme or conference in Puttaparthy when he had not addressed them and therefore they were anxious why their Guru (and pseudo god) did not address them. Instead they were completely taken aback when they saw their Sai Baba, their god came into the conference room in a special car, and he descended therefrom in a wheel chair. His name was in the programme leaflet that he was supposed to address them all, but as he did not do so, therefore after the Sunni Maulana, it was a Jewish priest who came along with his guitar to do a prayer, while at the same time playing the guitar and praising Baba. On the spot I received a message from Allah: to get up and go, and not to participate in this conference for Sai Baba wants to make you fall into his trap, so that (like others) you may fall at his feet.” Therefore I did not lose time to comply with this divine message. I got up before some 20,000 people present in the conference Hall (before I could address them) and took the direction of the exit. When I arrived at the door, there were many journalists (from “Enadu”, “Vaartha” and many others) outside and as soon as they saw me, they began to ask me a series of questions and I answered them and explained that I came there (in Puttaparthy) to talk on the unity of God, and not to fall at the feet of Baba, nor to pray him. Allah sent me to make people conscious to pray Him (Allah) alone, and not to pray creatures, nor pray Baba.
After this meeting (interview) with the press, Allah (Glory be to Him) gave me a message that my family and I should leave Puttaparthy: “Go because your live and that of your family are in danger; the Sai Baba and his devotees have not appreciated at all (that which has happened – with this humble self preaching the unity of Allah) and they are hatching plans to attack you.” Therefore I had to disguise myself, wrapping myself in a large cover, and my family also had to hide themselves in large sheets and it was Saturday night. That night Allah made manifest a torrential rain so that nobody could circulate in the yard and there were only 4 security guards at the central gate and thus disguised as we were, having our luggage in hand, we spotted a man with a bicycle and we paid him for transport. He put our luggage on his bicycle and afterwards he left us at a place where it would be easy for us to have a transport, and by the grace of Allah, we got a one quickly and we head towards the railway station.
I have related to you only a summary of what happened, how Allah (Glory be to Him) had protected my family and I and saved us from this predicament. At that moment it was Allah Himself who put fear in the hearts of those who were acting as security guards.
The Sai Baba is a person like us. He was not god. There is only one God and it is Allah. When I heard the news the day he died (24 April 2011), the devotees of Sai Baba were saying that Baba was their god, the eternal, was dead – they take Baba as god when he possess no power. He could not save himself from death! Then how can he save you (the devotees of Baba) from your distress, and illnesses? These people (especially his devotees) were saying while I was there for the conference, that Baba has prophesised that he shall live till the age of 96 and that after him, it is in a lady that he shall be reincarnated, and therefore that lady shall be god for all the devotees of Sai Baba. Unfortunately these people believe in such incorrect belief! And what shocked me all the more is the great number of Muslims who have left Islam and become devotees of Sai Baba. I had got the opportunity to talk to some of them, and I told them: “Do you give an associate to Allah, one who cannot create anything, while he himself has been created by Allah? Sai Baba cannot come to the help of any of you. If a misfortune befalls you, he cannot do anything for you and if a misfortune befalls him, he cannot help himself from this predicament. You are praying a person like yourselves and you are taking him as god. You came here (in Puttaparthy) to pray him; see if he is answering your prayers, or removing these problems from you? You have left Allah who brought you into existence and one day you shall have to return back to Him and there you shall have to account to Him. You leave Allah and you go to pray Sai Baba?”
Here itself in Mauritius, in my numerous Dawa, I have met some Muslim families who left Islam and became the devotees of Sai Baba and some also joined the “Mission Salut et Guérison”. I went to meet them on 3 occasions and told them that which they have done is very serious, whereby they left Allah and turned towards a creature and took him as god. If they follow the path of Allah and turn to Allah, Allah (Glory be to Him) shall show them how to differentiate between good and evil, Allah shall restrict them from committing bad deeds, and He shall forgive them. It is only with Allah that there are great favours, and He gives them to whomever He wants. The truth is that Allah never changes favours which He gives people, unless they themselves want to change (and deprive themselves of these favours).
There is also the fact that the news is full of the death of Usama bin Laden; the supposed commandeer and sole head of the surprise attacks on both the twin towers of New York and the Pentagon (in the Unites States of America). Prior to the attacks of 9/11, Allah already gave me in clear words revelations pertaining to the downfall of America and the machiavellic plans planted in the head of Bush and his chiefs. Usama bin Laden is not the only one responsible for the deaths of some 3000 innocent people. Unfortunately he has given a hand to this drama and through him Islam has come to be known as a Religion of Terror, Muslims were viewed as terrorists and all suicide bombing were done in the name of Islam, whereas Islam never preached all these. It has become apparent and clear to all those who have ears to hear and eyes to see that Usama bin Laden through his campaign to voice out to be the one responsible for the attack which happened on September 11, 2001, that he is the Imam Mahdi of this era, and through his attacks on America, he was in fact waging war with the Dajjal, as detailed in the numerous Hadiths of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Especially with the appearance of the two eclipses which happened in the same month of Ramadhan (in October 2005 – even though partial, not complete as the one in November 2003), in his videos, it was apparent that he was claiming that he was the Mahdi, and he even started using his full name: Usama bin Muhammad bin Laden.
By his acts, Usama bin Laden has not honoured the name of “Muhammad” found in his name (being the name of his father). Moreover, he insinuated that he was the Mahdi, but definitely falsehood is bound to be washed away and truth rendered clear. But this is not a reason for America, after killing him, to leave his body in the sea, without the proper Islamic rites. The Americans have got back their revenge with his death (though he is not alone in these crimes) and at least, the body should have been given back to his family for the proper Islamic rites. His judgement can only be done by Allah, not by people. America is crying bitterly for the 3000 people who died due to these attacks on September 11, 2001; but have they forgotten the thousands of innocent Muslims killed by the stone-hearted America of that time? Can the death of 3000 Americans compared to the thousands of Palestinians and others who died at the hands of America, the so-called superpower? No! Revenge in this sense is never good, for this is a fire which is on-going. Do the Americans think that by killing Usama bin Laden and making his corpse become fish food a means to establish justice? Or will this incident propels many more little bin Laden to born and manifest (with vengeance)?
Islam is a peaceful religion. That which the extremists are showing the world is not Islam. Terrorists are not the identity of Muslims, but of people without conscience and spiritual baggage. They may think that they are doing it to obtain the favours of God, but what favour is there in shedding blood of others and one’s own blood through suicide bombing? The Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) never did take up arms to fight the enemy unless when the Muslims were first attacked, and the wars he waged were only after he received clear revelations from Almighty God to defend himself and the Muslims (who were one by one being killed by the enemies). That is why Allah gave the instructions that it was high time to defend themselves, before more Muslims be killed (and Islam disappears – God forbid) for that was the wish of the enemies of Islam.
In the course of time, every truth shall be rendered manifest. In the same month of April and in early May, we have come to see the downfall and deaths of 3 dangerous men who took themselves as of the divine, when they were never sent by Allah. There is the so-called Amir of Mauritius, the Sai Baba and on 02 May 2011 (early in Pakistan) the death of Usama bin Laden.
May Allah render more truths manifests like He promised this humble self ever since my expulsion from the organisation of the Jamaat Ahmadiyya. Little by little, every truth shall become manifest and falsehood shall become a distant memory (as far as this humble self’s era of divine manifestation is concerned). The helpers of the so-called Amir also shall not be spared. 10 years have gone and Allah, just as He promised made the truth clear, and soon very soon, one by one, the helpers of the so-called Amir, the so-called Amir himself (more downfall for him) and the false claimants of divinity and divine revelations, be them from every nook of the world (and from all religions) shall see to their downfall. Allah is never in a hurry, for He gives time for one to repent and come back to the straight path. Remember, a pact with Allah is something which you have to account for. Obey Allah and His Messenger and do not let your good deeds lose its value. The pharaoh of this era (in Mauritius) is still being honoured while he is behind many abased acts. What is he waiting for? For the hands of Allah to crush him to pieces? He does not have a semblance of honour and integrity. Despite all the frauds he committed, he is still holding his head high, like he has done a deed which merit great acclamation. Soon the faces of the hypocrites, infidels, evil-doers and those who put blames of all sorts on this humble self shall be rendered manifest. All those who have rejected the Messiah and Messenger of this era shall taste to their own bitter deeds. When Allah said: “Obey Allah and His Messenger”, they pretended to be superior to Allah and His Messenger and acted according to their own head. Evil they have wrought, despite thinking that they are on the straight path, and indeed Allah shall see to their destruction, except those who repent and turn over a new leaf and embrace the truth with humility and comply with the divine commandments.
Verily, Allah has told me, like He told my noble and beloved prophet (peace be upon him), that even though He does not make me witness all these people’s downfall and He takes me back to Him before that, but one day surely these “criminals” in religion shall taste the evil consequences of their acts and the world, and especially the people of my Jamaat shall be witness of the truth (and prophecies) uttered by this humble self through the command of Allah.
May Allah guide all of us to better understand this sermon and to distinguish truth from untruth and to be true to Allah and His commandments and His Messenger come what may, in submission to Allah, in completely humility. Insha-Allah. Ameen. |
