Text Box: بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Friday Sermon HAZRAT KHALIFATULLAH AL-MASSIH AL-MA’OUD Munir Ahmad Azim 07 January 2011 ~ (02 Safar 1432 Hijri) (Summary of a very long special 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: وَأَنزَلْنَا إِلَيْكَ الذِّكْرَ لِتُبَيِّنَ لِلنَّاسِ مَا نُزِّلَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَلَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ ۝ “Wa anzalnaaa ilaykaz-zikra li tubayyina Innaasi maa nuzzila ilayhim wa la-allahum yatafakkaruun.” This is a revelation which Allah gave me and it is also a verse found in the Holy Quran in Chapter 16 where Allah addressed our beloved prophet (peace be upon him) and in this era, this humble self as thus: “We sent down to you the remembrance so that you can make clear to people what has been sent down to them, in order that they reflect.” In the light of this divine message, in the capacity of humble servant of Allah of this era, one who is filled with weaknesses, and powerless, yet with the help of my Lord and with many prayers (and invocation to God), I am making all possible efforts to give to mankind the message being revealed by God so that man in general can reform themselves, in their way of living, so that they may turn to Allah the Almighty all the more and detach themselves from this temporal world. I don’t know what drum to use to make awake humanity and make all of you to listen to these messages, especially the Muslims all round the world, including the Ahmadi Muslims. The non-believers hold this belief that had Allah wanted, He could have made all people (their ancestors and themselves) worship Him alone, and they declare that they would not have disobeyed Allah’s instructions had that been the case. Each time a Messenger of Allah comes to the world, each time, be it in the past (and even nowadays), these people think in the same line (that is, they reject the Messenger of Allah and disobey the divine instructions) but what can a Messenger of Allah do save to deliver the message of Allah clearly to them? Never had Allah chastise a people for their sins without first sending to them Messengers (Warners) to warn them about the evils they committed, and they can never reproach Allah that He never had sent warners to them to foretell about their downfall if they persisted in their evildoings. Allah raised Messengers in every nation and will continue to do so and these Messengers will tell the people: “Worship Allah alone and stay away from Satan” but only a small group will take this message into consideration and Allah shall put these pure-hearted people in the right path, but on the other hand, others who have turn their backs to the message of Allah (and His messengers) with arrogance, Allah shall make them go further astray. Like Allah says in the Holy Quran: “Fasiiruu fil arzi fanzuruu kayfa kaana aaqibatul-mukazzibiin” meaning, “Travel round the world and see the end of those who rejected (the truth).” Allah continues to say: “Even though you may take great pains to guide them aright, but Allah does not guide those who misguide others, and nobody can help them.” But as for those who are forbearing and put their trust in their Lord and have faith in the divine message sent to the Messenger of Allah, they are those who neither feel suffocated by the message of Allah not the divine instructions. On the contrary, they show themselves obedient and do not invent great pretexts or lies to free themselves from the divine manifestation and the spiritual education they were receiving (amidst the congregation of the Messenger of Allah). Moreover, come what may, they undergo all sorts of trials with exemplary patience and obedience to Allah. Allah has promised in the Holy Quran that these kinds of people shall be given “a good place to stay on earth, but the reward of the hereafter will be better still, if only they could understand.” When do you come to uncover the real face of those who have a disease in their hearts, be it in your own family or friend, or the congregation (Jamaat) in which you are found, when you discover the hatred they hide in them for you, their real face of hypocrite? It is when Allah sends His Messenger to revive His authentic teachings which have been trampled under the feet of man, especially under those of the so-called people holding authority over the majority, who control everything and who, believing that power is in their hands, do everything that they want so that others fear them. It is like this in all countries and in each era it was like this that a particular family controlled everything, and use such power to make others become puppets in their hands. The power found in their hands make them go against the teachings of Allah and that of His prophets – the greatest of prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and the other prophets (on them be peace). These people act like they are most superior to Allah and His prophets and that people should fear them more than fearing Allah. They go to great lengths to plant this fear in the hearts of people and if any disobedience is shown to them, therefore they do not hesitate to expel such people (who according to them are rebels) out of their congregation. On top of that, they hesitate not to curse those people who are not in the same line of thoughts with them and who have found them (those at the head) not going according to the teachings of Allah and that of His prophets. When such a situation is rendered manifest when people are not in line with their commands, what do they do? They judge the faith of others and expel those people (who have dared raised their voice) from their congregation and moreover, they pass on the word to boycott them, not to bid them Salaam, and everywhere (in all Mosques and meetings they hold) there are announcements made to canvass people to stay far away from these people (who have dared raised their voice). Thus, little by little hatred is created and persecutions becomes manifest. In all villages and towns their representatives are sent to stand on the pulpit of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) so as to humiliate these people and to create hatred in the hearts of their members towards them. When this happens, that hatred penetrates the hearts of the weak in faith and those thirsty for power and thus these people begin taking themselves as great defenders of Islam and hatch all sorts of evil plots and begin to taunt mercilessly those who have recognised the truth which comes from Allah. They thus begin their campaign of persecution, defiling the honour of righteous persons – those who want to keep themselves pure before their return back to their Lord and who have discovered the evilness of the group of people they once belonged. Indeed the pure-hearted recognise the duplicity of the arrogant and power-thirst and realise that religion has disappeared completely, where only words are pronounced, but no putting of these words into practice. They realise that the group they once belonged to has stopped saying that Allah and His prophet has said this and that, but they have discovered that these people say instead that so and so (especially the one who acts as their leader) says this and that. Indeed these people (under the leadership of this so-called leader) fear and give much attention and importance to such a person than their Creator. They fear this person instead of fearing their Lord. They have contributed a lot of money to be spent in the path of Allah but what happens instead? This money is spent without any control; money is spent in touring the world, with their chief and his bodyguards and secretaries. But whenever a missionary has to go to another country to do the work for the cause of Allah, what do these people do? They let him go alone, letting him go without the support of his wife and children, and they separate man and wife and family for a lengthy period of time. The main reason that these so-called defenders of Islam put forward to justify the sending of a missionary abroad alone is that he has dedicated his life for the cause of Allah! If this is the case, then is not their chief a life-dedicator in the path of Allah? Why has he then the right (compared to the ordinary missionary) to tour the world along with his family and amuse himself with the money of the majority of people (the poor people who have sacrificed their money for the pleasure of Allah). For him, his family and delegates, all is permitted, all extravagance and privilege, and pocket money included, whereas they restrict the basic rights of a missionary dedicated for the work of Allah? Now, when all is rendered manifest, do you seriously think that such a chief will recognise and accept the divinely appointed elect of Allah? When the Promised Messiah (on him be peace) came to the world, the Muslims as a united force closed the door of prophethood (and divine revelations) and denounced him as a liar. The Jamaat Ahmadiyya has always made these Muslims and the world at large understand that the door of prophethood (and divine revelations) is never closed, but that on the contrary it shall remain open for as long as there be humans on earth and when man shall deviate from the teachings of God, Allah shall send a Messenger to the world to revive the true teachings of Islam originally sent through our master Hazrat Muhammad (peace be upon him). Today in this era, they became worst that the other non-Ahmadi Muslims and they dare say that after the Promised Messiah (on him be peace) there will be no Messiah who shall come after him. They pretend to be great defenders of Ahmadiyya, but in fact they themselves do not know what the Promised Messiah has written in his book (and if some of them know, they hide the truth and pretend to be ignorant on these facts). They thus have become Ahmadi Muslims in name only. They profess to be followers of the Promised Messiah but what they say do not reflect the true teachings of Almighty Allah and that of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and the Promised Messiah Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (on him be peace). Now when Allah has raised His Elect for the revival of the true teachings of Islam, they dare to hatch evil plans to hinder people from recognising this humble servant whom Allah has sent and those who do recognise this humble servant of Allah (this humble self), it is in the turn of their family members who start persecuting them through all means. If these imbeciles knew well the Holy Quran, they would be frightened to make these (righteous) people who have recognise the divine truth undergo all sorts of persecutions, and they would not hinder people from the right path. Allah define these people in the Holy Quran: “Do those who plan evils think that they are secured, that Allah would not make the earth swallow them, or that the punishment would not seize them from somewhere they least expect? Or that He shall not seize them in the course of their plans? And they shall not be able to escape.” If you ponder over these divine words, then you should have fear for Allah alone, and not fear man – bear in mind that our food, drink, honour, dignity, intelligence, health and wealth and so on, all these comes from Allah, not man. Thus, why fear man more than fearing Allah? If Allah was to seize you for the sins you commit, He would not have let a single soul alive on earth but indeed Allah gives a respite, a lapse of time till your time comes up and when that moment arrive, you would not be able to postpone it for another time, be it one hour or any other time. Therefore, will you place your belief in falsehood, and refusal to believe in the favours of Allah bestowed upon you? Will you reject this favour which Allah has bestowed upon you in this age and will you give man – whom man has elected himself – more importance than the one whom Allah has Himself honoured and raised to the status of Khalifatullah (Caliph of Allah) in this era? Thus, do not poke fun on (and humiliate) the one whom Allah has decreed and sent. It is Allah the All-Knowing, not you! Will you then put your belief in falsehood, in things which is completely against the teachings of Islam, against the teachings of the Prophet of Allah (peace be upon him) and that of the Messiah (on him be peace)? Will you refuse these divine favours pouring down upon you in this age through the advent of the humble servant of Allah (this humble self) to guide you in the right path, that same path which leads to Almighty Allah? Today the 7th January 2011, in this first sermon of the year 2011, I put before you a brief of the events which shall occur in this new year (2011), Insha-Allah. This year, the climate shall be dense, with frequent torrential summer rains. It will be hot and winter shall be very cold. The weather shall be rainy etc. with anti-cyclones and Mauritius shall be flooded. There will also be a dense cyclone (violent), and agriculture shall be affected by it (and by the overall rainy days). Health: There shall be fevers, gastroenteritis and even malaria and other diseases (which can crop up). Societies (communities) shall lose all dignity; the country shall witness a syndicate crisis of great intensity. The population as a whole shall revolt because of the exorbitant increase in prices; they shall demand an increase in salary, more than they are presently earning. The citizens of Mauritius shall not be pleased with the Minister of Finance and with the present government – there shall be manifestations of anger and also riots. There shall be an increase in violence, rape and killings, and many shall die due to suicide and accidents. The rate of divorce and gambling shall also increase. The syndicate (Education) shall manifest concerning certain changes in education system. Politics: The MMM shall be victorious in the municipal (local government) elections. There shall be some changes at ministry level, mainly about the incompetence of some of the advisors – the minister of finance shall lose popularity. In the National Assembly, there shall be some manifestation of grieving whereby there shall be some ministers who will have cardiac problems – the country shall be grieving due to the death of a great person (high society). Religion: All religions shall undergo spiritual degradation whereby people shall not show any interest in spirituality; there are people who shall pray only as a routine, only on the lips but not putting anything good in practice. People shall attach themselves more towards mundane attractions – they will want to earn more money and property instead of following the divine teachings. The religious priests (spiritual leaders) shall not accomplish their work as it should be done – they shall create more division and hatred in the hearts of people; nobody (except the truly sincere) shall concentrate on the unity of God. They shall make all that are not God become their gods. Degradation of the Muslims shall persist. Nobody (except the truly sincere) shall take the teachings and commandments of the Quran and the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) into consideration and they shall not put them into practice. They shall fight among them. The Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam, especially this humble self shall always be undergoing all sorts of great trials. On the personal front, there shall be more personal attacks, blames, boycott and persecutions but nevertheless all this shall not impede on the progress of the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam. Its workload shall doubled (at all levels of work) and during this year, Insha-Allah, there shall be more people to join the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam and many will keep contact with our website and through lots of emails. Insha-Allah, we shall fight like the lions of Allah against those who shall attack us. The situation of the Ahmadi Muslims: Their Khalifa shall become their god on earth, where they shall put everything on account of the sayings of their Khalifa and with their hatred which they have against me and the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam, there shall be more social boycott – Their youths shall go astray; their Waqfe Naw shall fall prey to evils and shall adopt the wrong path – and their Amir and his acolytes shall continue their evil plots – the Musa of this era shall inevitably cut to pieces the pharaohs with the immense help of Allah, Insha-Allah, Ameen. May Allah give you the needed salvation and may He open your heart – each of you – to accept this truth before it is too late. Insha-Allah, Ameen ! ~~ The Khalifatullah talked also about the Mujaddids and Muhyi-ud-Dins of the past eras, about the age they reached when they entered matrimony (more than a wife); he gave further explanations of what will Mauritius and the world face this year and expounded lengthily on it. He explained how Allah first chose him as His special servant and Messenger when he was 40 years old (age when Allah elevated His prophets and vouchsafed them revelations and give them their divine mission), ten years back in 2001, and how on one hand plots were being hatched and persecutions mounting to finish him, but Allah thereafter elevated his rank and status, surely, step by step. Now, ten years after and today (7th January 2011), the Khalifatullah reached his 50 years. May Allah bless him and give him a long life in the service of Deen-e-Islam, as chosen and perfected by Allah for him. Ameen.
