(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:


الَّذِينَ يَذْكُرُونَ اللّهَ قِيَامًا وَقُعُودًا وَعَلَىَ جُنُوبِهِمْ وَيَتَفَكَّرُونَ فِي خَلْقِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ رَبَّنَا مَا خَلَقْتَ هَذا بَاطِلًا سُبْحَانَكَ فَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ ۝ رَبَّنَا إِنَّكَ مَن تُدْخِلِ النَّارَ فَقَدْ أَخْزَيْتَهُ وَمَا لِلظَّالِمِينَ مِنْ أَنصَارٍ ۝ رَّبَّنَا إِنَّنَا سَمِعْنَا مُنَادِيًا يُنَادِي لِلإِيمَانِ أَنْ آمِنُواْ بِرَبِّكُمْ فَآمَنَّا رَبَّنَا فَاغْفِرْ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَا وَكَفِّرْ عَنَّا سَيِّئَاتِنَا وَتَوَفَّنَا مَعَ الأبْرَارِ ۝ رَبَّنَا وَآتِنَا مَا وَعَدتَّنَا عَلَى رُسُلِكَ وَلاَ تُخْزِنَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِنَّكَ لاَ تُخْلِفُ الْمِيعَادَ ۝

‘Allaziina yaz-kuruunal-laaha qiyaamaww-wa qu-‘uu-daww-wa ‘alaa junuubihim wa yatafakkaruuna fii khal-qis-samaawaati wal-‘arz: Rabbanaa maa khalaqta haazaa baatilaa! Subhaanaka faqinaa ‘azaaban-Naar! Rabbanaaa ‘innaka man-tud-khilin-Naara faqad ‘akh-zaytah: wa maa lizzaalimiina min ansaar! Rabbana innana sami'na munadiyayy-yunadi lil-imani an aminu bi Rabbikum fa'aamanna: Rabbana faghfir lana dhunoobana wa kaffir 'ana sayyi'aatina wa tawaffana ma-'al Abraar. Rabbana wa 'atina ma wa'adtana 'ala rusulika wa la tukhzina yawmal-Qiyamah innaka laa tukhliful mi'aad.

Those who remember Allah standing and sitting and lying on their sides and reflect on the creation of the heavens and the earth: Our Lord! Thou hast not created this in vain! Glory be to Thee; save us then from the chastisement of the fire: Our Lord! Surely whomsoever Thou makest enter the fire, him Thou hast indeed brought to disgrace, and there shall be no helpers for the unjust: Our Lord! Surely we have heard a preacher calling to the faith, saying: Believe in your Lord, so we did believe; Our Lord! Forgive us therefore our faults, and cover our evil deeds and make us die with the righteous. Our Lord! And grant us what Thou hast promised us by Thy Messengers; and disgrace us not on the day of resurrection; surely Thou dost not fail to fulfill the promise. (3:192-195)

Creation forms part of an all-planned vision of Allah dealt with, with perfection. The Holy Quran describes the creations of Allah as of exquisite and miraculous Source, a sign of the mercy of the Creator who wanted to be known and worshipped. Thus, we have the creations of the Heavens and Earth, the creation of man, the creation of every living species on the surface of the earth and in the profound depth of the sea.

Allah has made life an essence of all sciences found, and expertly discovered – through the intervention of the Holy Quran as a guide to its roots and meanings. We find in the Holy Quran that Allah discusses such subjects like the functioning of the sun and moon and every planet existing in the galaxy. Man named it the Solar System while Allah uses such examples therein to depict His Might, as signs for man to recognise His existence, His Ever-Powerful Intelligence, such an intelligence which is incomparable to the human intelligence and mind.

وَهُوَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ وَالشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ كُلٌّ فِي فَلَكٍ يَسْبَحُونَ ۝

And He it is Who created the night and the day and the sun and the moon; all (orbs) travel along swiftly in their celestial spheres. (21:34)

لَا الشَّمْسُ يَنبَغِي لَهَا أَن تُدْرِكَ الْقَمَرَ وَلَا اللَّيْلُ سَابِقُ النَّهَارِ وَكُلٌّ فِي فَلَكٍ يَسْبَحُونَ ۝

It is not for the sun to overtake the moon, nor can the night outstrip the day. All of them float in an orbit. (36:41)

إِنَّ فِي خَلْقِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَاخْتِلاَفِ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ لآيَاتٍ لِّأُوْلِي الألْبَابِ ۝

In the creation of the heavens and the earth and in the alternation of the night and the day there are indeed Signs for men of understanding; (3:191)

The Holy Quran was revealed to such a man who neither knew how to read nor how to write. Its revelation upon such a humble man with no notion of the mastery of the heavens and earth brought about the miraculous aspects of the Holy Quran as the word of God and the confirmation of its origin which is of Divine Source.

Hadith (from Bukhari) narrated by Abu Zar: The Prophet asked me at sunset, “Do you know where the sun goes (at the time of sunset)?” I replied, “Allah and His Apostle know better.” He said, “It goes (i.e. travels) till it prostrates Itself underneath the Throne and takes the permission to rise again, and it is permitted and then (a time will come when) it will be about to prostrate itself but its prostration will not be accepted, and it will ask permission to go on its course but it will not be permitted, but it will be ordered to return whence it has come and so it will rise in the west. And that is the interpretation of the Statement of Allah: “And the sun runs its fixed course for a term (decreed).” – That is The Decree of (Allah) The Exalted in Might, The All-Knowing.” (36:39)  

Allah, the All-Knowing has input such essence and mysteries of nature, and its creations in the Holy Quran which propels man to further his research to uncover the beauty of the Holy Quran and to master the invitation of God to establish himself on his source and the universe around him.

Allah says in the Holy Quran:

وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا فَوْقَكُمْ سَبْعَ طَرَائِقَ وَمَا كُنَّا عَنِ الْخَلْقِ غَافِلِينَ ۝

And We have created above you seven heavens lying one above the other, and We are never neglectful of the creation. (23:18)

وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ خَلْقُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَثَّ فِيهِمَا مِن دَابَّةٍ وَهُوَ عَلَى جَمْعِهِمْ إِذَا يَشَاءُ قَدِيرٌ ۝

And among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and of whatever living creatures He has spread forth in both. And He has the power to gather them together when He pleases. (42:30)

The exquisite nature of human creation has brought many debates as to its source, that is, from which essence has man, the human flesh been created. Allah says in the Holy Quran:

وَإِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلاَئِكَةِ إِنِّي خَالِقٌ بَشَرًا مِّن صَلْصَالٍ مِّنْ حَمَإٍ مَّسْنُونٍ ۝

And remember when thy Lord said to the angels, ‘I am about to create man from dry ringing clay, from black mud wrought into shape; (15:29)
الَّذِي أَحْسَنَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقَهُ وَبَدَأَ خَلْقَ الْإِنسَانِ مِن طِينٍ ۝
Who has made perfect everything He has created. And He began the creation of man from clay. (32:8)

وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ خَلْقُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَاخْتِلَافُ أَلْسِنَتِكُمْ وَأَلْوَانِكُمْ إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّلْعَالِمِينَ ۝

And among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the diversity of your tongues and colours. In that surely are Signs for those who possess knowledge. (30:23)

لَخَلْقُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ أَكْبَرُ مِنْ خَلْقِ النَّاسِ وَلَكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ۝

Certainly, the creation of the heavens and the earth is greater than the creation of mankind; but most men know not. (40:58)

In spite of these details, man nowadays has challenged God on His mastery of creation of the human species. He wants now to clone humans taking the cells of humans to duplicate the original human. Scientists have so far succeeded to clone such animals as sheep. You will recall “Dolly”, and other animals which they put under observation to define their attributes after being cloned. Some people are against cloning, and some are for it, especially in the medical field. But, how far will scientists who have no fear of God in their heart will venture to create the “perfect clone” of humans? Is it possible? We find stated in the Quran in the words of Allah:

يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ضُرِبَ مَثَلٌ فَاسْتَمِعُوا لَهُ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ لَن يَخْلُقُوا ذُبَابًا وَلَوِ اجْتَمَعُوا لَهُ وَإِن يَسْلُبْهُمُ الذُّبَابُ شَيْئًا لَّا يَسْتَنقِذُوهُ مِنْهُ ضَعُفَ الطَّالِبُ وَالْمَطْلُوبُ ۝

“O men, a similitude is set forth, so listen to it. Surely, those on whom you call instead of Allah cannot create even a fly, though they combine together for the purpose. And if the fly should snatch away anything from them, they cannot recover it therefrom. Weak indeed are both the seeker and the sought.” (22:74)

Thus, Allah has given man intelligence, but now he must use it in the efficient and moral way, not to defy Allah in His power of creation. If he goes overboard, man shall taste the wrath of Allah, especially if he is persistent in his claim not to recognise the Hand behind his own creation (that is, Allah). He must remember that he was yet nothing before God brought him into existence. Allah said: “And We say: “Be” and it is!” (Qun Fa Yakuun).

Allah has given man a degree of intelligence to be used in finding and confirming the treasures of His creations, to recognise His grandeur as the Ultimate Creator, the Perfect Designer of a World without which man would be in deep difficulty. He created the Heavens as a shelter for man, as a roof and has flattened the earth to enable man to walk on it with ease, to go and earn his living, and to provide shelter for his family by constructing habitats in various ways according to his means. But, man is greedy and ungrateful towards His Creator.

وَهُوَ الَّذِي مَدَّ الأَرْضَ وَجَعَلَ فِيهَا رَوَاسِيَ وَأَنْهَارًا وَمِن كُلِّ الثَّمَرَاتِ جَعَلَ فِيهَا زَوْجَيْنِ اثْنَيْنِ يُغْشِي اللَّيْلَ النَّهَارَ إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ ۝

And He it is Who spread out the earth and made therein mountains and rivers. And fruits of every kind He made therein in two sexes. He causes the night to cover the day. Therein, verily, are Signs for a people who reflect. (13:4)

وَأَلْقَى فِي الأَرْضِ رَوَاسِيَ أَن تَمِيدَ بِكُمْ وَأَنْهَارًا وَسُبُلًا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ ۝

And He has placed in the earth firm mountains lest it quake with you, and rivers and routes that you may take the right way. (16:16)

After having got everything from His Creator, man denies His existence or associates other supposed gods with Him and attribute his own creation and the creations of everything else to these so-called gods. If he does not do that, he put the creation of the heavens and earth as of pure coincidence, unconnected with a Supreme and Powerful Being. Atheism has become rampant nowadays. One of its causes is the attributions of findings of scientists which they attribute to themselves, due to their own intelligence, without taking into consideration that it is Allah who has provided them with it, with the faculties necessary to undertake such findings and to become famous by His grace.

But Allah praises His other creatures which though deprived of intelligence – unlike humans – they are able to recognise the favours of Allah on them and they praise Allah day and night, and with each of their movements.

Allah says in the Holy Quran:

أَلَمْ يَرَوْاْ إِلَى الطَّيْرِ مُسَخَّرَاتٍ فِي جَوِّ السَّمَاء مَا يُمْسِكُهُنَّ إِلاَّ اللّهُ إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ ۝

Do they not see the birds held under subjection in the vault of heaven? None keeps them back save Allah. Verily, in that are Signs for a people who believe. (16:80)

أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يُسَبِّحُ لَهُ مَن فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَالطَّيْرُ صَافَّاتٍ كُلٌّ قَدْ عَلِمَ صَلَاتَهُ وَتَسْبِيحَهُ وَاللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ بِمَا يَفْعَلُونَ ۝

Hast thou not seen that it is Allah Whose praises all who are in the heavens and the earth celebrate, and so do the birds with their wings outspread? Each one knows his own mode of prayer and praise. And Allah knows well what they do. (24:42) 

Thus, each creation of Allah has its purpose: the worship of the One Lord, their Creator – Allah (Exalted is He). Other creatures are conscious of their duty towards Allah except man who is so full of himself that He forgets his own origin and attributes all of the discoveries of life to himself, to his “hard” work. But, Allah did the work all by Himself and appointed His angels to such posts which He has chosen for them, and when He mentions the creations of the Heavens and Earth etc. in the Holy Quran, He is so humble to include His angels, His obedient servants of light in His Mastery and acknowledges their work – the obedience they paid to Allah upon the command of Allah in the creations of the Heavens and Earth and even in the creation of humankind. 

This week Allah gave me this revelation: “In the creation of man, We have established the basis for a new inspiration which shall bring them to success upon success if they are obedient to Me. My will forwards Me to be kind and generous to him who turns to Me in complete submission, who is attentive to My commandments and fulfils them with fear and love for Me. Such a servant is honoured in My sight and shall be further honoured in the next world. This life is a temporal one O My Khalifa. I have sent you to the people to explain to them the fundamentals of religion and a cure for their own souls in the worship of the One Lord. Such servants who are attentive to you and follow you in that which you tell them to benefit them in their temporal stay in this world, shall enjoy felicity in both worlds but those who deny you, calumniating you are My enemies and they shall know soon of what they used to make fun of. I and My hosts are coming to such a meeting with them which shall make them see the truth of My Manifestations but alas it would be too late for them. Thus, happy are those who listen to you and put into practice the commandments of their Lord; such commandments which shall profit them in both worlds, their lights bringing bliss to their soul as of a unique scent to the flower’s bloom. Let the garden of this world merry in your presence, for My Khalifa is standing in it among the flowers of life, to give them further life. The withered petals of flowers shall be removed by the Gardener and be cared for so that new flowers, with new scent – the scent of Islam – may blossom in their hearts for the progress of “La-Ilaaha Illallah” in the four corners of the world. O Muhyi-ud-Din your Jamaat is that Garden which shall reap the fruits of both lives, such exquisite fruits which shall attracts thousands of souls to the worship of your Lord, Allah. I in My power of Creator, Master of the Heavens and Earth shall bring forth the prophecies to fruition. The Sun shall rise in the West. Be patient like those who took patience and their will became the will of the Lord, who partook in their happiness everlastingly. You have come like a light-bearing lamp to illumine the darkened world. You have come in the likeness of your Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) who had toiled day and night to make the Garden of Islam flourish. But beware O My Khalifa, the garden is yet to be called beautiful unless the weeds are removed and the insects killed for the benefit of the pure soil and seeds of faith. May Allah be your help. May Allah be your help. Be with Me like My own unity – the Lord and His Chosen One one in the face of adversities and one in contentment forever as a sign of My love for you and for the sincere believers. Islam shall progress and the infidels shall be brought to nought. Do not worry, for I am with You all through and through and I, your Treasure, hidden in your heart, shall manifest Myself to let find the glory of My promise…” (A long revelation, the other part being private) 

FROM THE FRIDAY SERMON OF MR. ZAFRULLAH DOMUN – 15 JANUARY 2010

“In addition he has also said that out of family feelings I sided with those who were questioning him. It is part of my natural inclinations to deal with my friends as members of my family. And if there has been someone who has most benefited from these feelings of mine it is Munir Azim and no one else. But as the poet said “Whatever your beauty my bracelet, I prefer my arm!”

Now let’s see the “marvellous” way Mr. Zafrullah Domun has dealt with his belief in the Muhyi-ud-Din of this era, whom he perfectly knew is a Khalifatullah and Allah’s Chosen One. 

Instead of quoting from the Holy Quran, the divine source of guidance for humanity, what does he do? He quotes a poet’s poem, such a poem which, if one studies profoundly his (Zafrullah Domun) saying, and Allah has made me understand as thus:

In the context of what he said, his family feeling has truly led him astray, to prefer all his blood relations, who are from “his Jamaat” over the treasure from Allah, the “bracelet”, the jewel coming from Allah, this humble one. 

O how true was Abu Talha, who preferred the precious “bracelet” from Allah than his own arm! How he preferred to have his hands placed before the Prophet of Allah, and have his hand and arm mutilate rather than letting his jewel, the jewel from Allah be torn to pieces. He protected against all odds the Envoy of Allah, Muhammad (peace be upon him), and preferred to have his arm mutilated rather than having the Prophet have the least hurt or injury!

How well you illustrated your point Mr. Zafrullah Domun when you confirmed what Allah has told me about you: you preferred your own blood relations (same blood running in your veins, in the veins of your arm) rather than cherishing the beauty (of the revelations coming from Allah) and value of the Muhyi-ud-Din of this era, the same Muhyi-ud-Din whom you took the oath of allegiance on his hands, and used to believe in the revelations he got from Allah. What has happened now? Are you unsatisfied with Allah’s revelations Who depicts you as such? Remember the several revelations which I received in the past, whereby Allah warned you not lose yourself in your “natural inclinations” – family feeling. Later, you will come to realise what these blood relations and “friends” are up to.  You said you had these feelings for me, and yet, when people “reported” to you about “my actions”, instead like in Surah Noor and in Surah Al-Hujurat (about listening to reported sayings), Allah says to the believers to say: “Oh that is a clear blasphemy!”, what did you do? You believed in all these “reports” without basing yourself on substantial proofs, and preferred to let go of your baiat, to listen to these blood relations of yours, and outcast your “brother” from the Jamaat Allah revealed him. What a pity! 

Remember in Year 2007, the dream of Hazrat Ummoul Momeneen Nasira Azim, my wife whom she related to you after Jummah prayers (a long dream) whereby she saw that in the middle of a battle (people on horsebacks), the sword of the Promised Messiah got into her hand, and this sword was very very very heavy. So heavy that she had to drag the sword so that enemies of Islam cannot get hold of it…

Afterwards, she saw herself still with the sword of the Promised Messiah Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (on him be peace), and she took a path, and another woman (who later became the new elected Sadr Saheba) from the Jamaat (at that time Jamaat Ahmadiyya Al Mouslemeen and who later on followed you) took another path…

Thus, the dream has come true, whereby, the woman is not with the Chosen One of Allah, and you and the others by yourselves!

Today, even anti-Ahmadiyya is making fun of Ahmadis on our splits and disaccords. Should it have been so? The body of Islam should have been one, but as so and so preferred their own arms, the body of Islam was dismantled into different Aqeedah, but yet all of us say: We are Muslims and followers of the Holy Prophet of Islam, Hazrat Muhammad (peace be upon him). Should the Jamaat of the Promised Messiah Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (on him be peace) should have come in several parts? Are we not the believers also in the Promised Messiah Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (on him be peace). Should we let the Anti-Ahmadiyya calumniate the Jamaat Ahmadiyya as a whole. Should we not defend our honour, a honour given to us by Allah through the coming of the Promised Messiah (on him be peace). Will we let the teachings of the Promised Messiah be trampled to dust by other Muslims full of hatred for him and his followers? This is also an appeal to Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad Saheb to take this into consideration, to forget our differences and establish ourselves on the true teachings of Islam as it is, and defend both the honour of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and the Promised Messiah Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (on him be peace)?

But, as they (the anti-Ahmadiyya) say, I quote:

“Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Isalm -- This is a further offshoot of Jama'at Ahmadiyya Al Mouslemeen founded after Munir Ahmad Azim's relatively successful visit to India. The original Jama'at Ahmadiyya Al Mouslemeen was taken over by Zafrullah Domun, a co-founder.

Munir Ahmad Azim is now claiming to be the Messiah of this age and appears to be quite prolific in his writing and his message. A fair comment would be that he is able to carry out his ministry while remaining within the scope of the writings of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad.”

On another site, there is the mention of the same-like comment:

I don't have much time to follow up on this. Please keep this thread alive or look up the alleged reference. This quotation by Mirza Masroor is mixing up Allah, MGA, khilafat etc. and appears to be very shady:
[url]
http://jaam-international.org/eng/dec/openletter.htm[/url]
[url]
http://jaam-international.org/eng/dec/Sequel_oplet.htm[/url]

BTW, Jamaat Mouslimeen split up into two parts: Zafrullah Domun kept the Mauritius organisation, and Munir Ahmad Azim has declared himself to be the Messiah of this Age, and is probably closest to the original teachings of MGA.

So, the supposed Abu Talha of this era has preferred his own arm to that of the jewel coming from Allah. He has preferred to shelter himself and his blood relations instead of protecting the Messenger of Allah from all sorts of attacks. Nay! He has instead helped them further to calumny the Muhyi-ud-Din of this era, and now he finds himself at the head of a Jamaat who has lost the purpose of its existence.

Glory be to Allah who has given this humble one, His Khalifa pearls of knowledge even though I was not graduated from any universities, but yet I was offered the robe of prophethood in the line of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and by Allah’s grace and mercy, I continue to do my work, my dawa for the benefit of mankind as a whole, and not for a section of Ahmadis!

So O members of the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam, the revelations which I just recited before you; these are pearls for our soul. May Allah consolidate His humble servant more and more with His divine words and consolidate your faith in Him and this humble one further through His perfect manifestations. May Allah make us aware of the beauty of His creations. We look at ourselves and we see His might. May Allah be our guide and help in all matters of religion, may He perfect our faith in Him and may continue to guide us in the right path till Insha-Allah we have Him as our Ultimate Reward be it in this world and the next. Ameen.
