Text Box: بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Friday Sermon HAZRAT AMIR’UL MOMENEEN MUHYI-UD-DIN AL KHALIFATULLAH Munir Ahmad Azim 11 June 2010 (27 Jamadal Aakhir 1431 Hijri) (Summary of Friday Sermon) After having greeted everybody with the Salutations of Peace, the Khalifatullah read the Tashahhud, Taouz and Surah Al Fatiha and then he said: قُلْ يَا عِبَادِ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا رَبَّكُمْ لِلَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُوا فِي هَذِهِ الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةٌ وَأَرْضُ اللَّهِ وَاسِعَةٌ إِنَّمَا يُوَفَّى الصَّابِرُونَ أَجْرَهُم بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ ۝ Say: O my servants who believe! be careful of (your duty to) your Lord; for those who do good in this world is good, and Allah’s earth is spacious; only the patient will be paid back their reward in full without measure. (Chapter 39 Verse 11) At the end of the verse which I just read before you, it is mentioned that ‘only the patient will be paid back their reward in full without measure.’ There will be no measuring made about those who adopt patience. This is what we must keep in mind. When the enemy causes you pain, when they proceed to oppose you, it is there (where there is persecution) itself that you must place your trust in Allah, but at the same time, you must show steadfastness. A recent example which is before us is what transpired on Friday 20 May 2010, where Ahmadi Muslims had been murdered in two Mosques in Lahore making hundreds of dead through machine guns and bombs. In Pakistan, fanatic Mullahs and the authorities are doing their best to finish the Ahmadi Muslims, killing them, declaring them non-Muslims, removing the Shahada from the Ahmadi Muslim Mosques. When we study the Holy Quran, we will find out that it refers to these evil-doers as bad plants which instead of letting spread, they must be uprooted. The wind makes them fly till they reach distant places. In this context, imagine the tree bearing yellow flowers and which is filled with pricks; likewise it spreads everywhere. It is uprooted from the soil and the wind carries it in another place, and where it goes it spreads its harmful effects. Thus, the present era of the fanatic Mullahs is like these bad plants. They go to the places where there are the servants of Allah, the good plants and they try to turn these good people’s (that is, the good plants) lives upside down, so that they (the wild plants) may become widespread and make the good plants wither and die. This is what the Ulama are trying to do and they cannot help themselves from doing anything besides this. As soon as they see the plants of Allah develop in a specific place, they reach out to that place as fast as they can. In spite of having other free places where they can go, but they prefer to come to the places where the good plants are so that they can make their evils take effect. In other words, the evil-doers will try anything to create havoc in the lives of the believers, to uproot them from the path of Allah. Instead of doing this, of being where the believers are, they could have gone to other sordid places which equal their evil mind – such places which have completely been deteriorated. Thus, it is not the Jamaat Ahmadiyya or the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam who runs after the Maulvis; it is the Maulvis who runs after us. This is a matter which deserves our special attention. Wherever the Jamaat (Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam) makes progress, there definitively will be the presence of these bad plants and they make it a must to drink the nectar (juice) which the Jamaat has gotten to drink – they try with all their might to stop the progress of the Jamaat! And we must at all cost never let them be successful in this effort of theirs. It is in this context that I have thought on the progress of our Jamaat in the other countries and even what is happening in Mauritius, how these kinds of people behaved with us, where they used vulgar languages and even told me that they have close contacts with the members of the government and definitely there are fishy things happening secretly. Here itself in Mauritius there were good people whom the Maulvis came into contact with and thus it is possible that the former got influenced by the filth that these people spread everywhere. Thus, my advice to you, the members of the Jamaat who are hot-tempered is not to react vigorously, lest you go against a rule and teaching of Islam. Real victory is achieved when, despite losses, the believer is not dejected, for (he knows that) the fruit borne will be exquisite. Insha-Allah. This victory is the victory of patience. That is why I recited the above-mentioned verse of the Quran to explain to you what is patience. I exhort all of you in the Jamaat not to abandon patience. Surely we must react, but our reaction must be within the limits prescribed by Islam. Bear in mind that it is through patience that you can react well. Those who abandon patience and show enthusiasm, this enthusiasm is of no avail. Along with patience, the Quran mentions also trust in Allah. Sabr (patience) and Tawakkal (trust) go in pair. One must take patience on progress which Allah gifts him. Thus, when you (the believers) trust Allah, it is then that the enemy devise ways and means to harm you, to finish you – Allah shall deal with them. There are many signs that are manifested, but it is not important here to mention them due to lack of time. What I mean is that when the enemy and their Maulvis have seen that all efforts have gone to waste and the Jamaat is making big progress, now they want to do like some of the Ulamas in Pakistan. They are canvassing the Hindus against us, depicting us as non-Muslims and that we are against their religion and are poisoning the mind of their members in the neighbourhood. Folly also has its limits! Perhaps they do not realise how much harm they are doing in their stupidity. When our Hindus friends have told me about what they were saying on us, I told them to tell these people that we, in the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam will show both of you (the Hindus and these Maulvis) that in their own writings itself how the Maulvis have declared some sects among themselves Non-Muslims. If they want to come forward for a debate, we are ever ready to do so. With some of the arguments that we have shown our Hindus friends, they have realised that it were these people who were outside the pale of Islam (not us), and that in disbelief, they are worst than the Jews. By the grace of Allah, we know that there is this problem in the villages; nearly every day there are problems between the Hindus and these so-called Muslims. I invite all the enemies of the Promised Messiah (on him be peace) and of the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam to come forward; I told them to do everything in their power, even if the government be their help, even then they would not be able to defeat the Jamaat. I told them that if they are true, then I give them time to come forward and do what they wish; pray, do every effort they want, but they would come to see that by the Grace of Allah, the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam will grow and spread all the more and they will come to witness all the more signs and effects of blessings (upon the Jamaat). This is the competition that there is between them and us and Insha-Allah, you will see the results. Thus, the Jamaat must double its efforts and what is more important, we must pray more and more for prayer (supplication to Allah) forms part of effort. Without prayer, efforts would not be effective. Therefore, if you bear in mind all the means that Allah has bestowed upon the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam and you make the necessary efforts, then you would continue to multiply on earth, and you shall obtain help from the Heavens (from Allah), and the works which seemed difficult will become possible, and Insha-Allah, we have complete trust in our Lord (Allah) that this will be realised. We, in the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam, we must increase our thanks to Allah, and then, from the heavens, the angels will come down and help us, Insha-Allah. And our earth (our Jamaat) will become greater for it is the earth of Allah. May Allah give us this blessing. Insha-Allah. Ameen. * Moreover, the Khalifatullah talked about the World Cup (starting today in South Africa), referring to the fact about how man is attached to this world, and that during these moments, they are chasing first place for a “World” Cup whereas we, believers we are after the “Hereafter” (Aakhirat) Cup, ever ready to attain this goal. Afterwards, Hazrat Khalifatullah Munir Azim gladly announced that for the first time the Khutba Jummah will appear on the website in Urdu (11 June 2010).
