(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 read the following verses of the Holy Quran:
Yaaa ‘ayyuhallaziina ‘aamanuz-kurullaaha zikran kasiira ; Wa sabbihuuhu bukratawwa ‘asiilaa. Huwallazii yusallii ‘alaykum wa malaaa’ikatuhuu liyukhrijakum minaz zulumaati ilan-Nuur : wa kaana bil’ Muminiina Rahiima.
“O ye who believe! Remember Allah with much remembrance; And glorify Him morning and evening. He it is Who sends blessings on you, as do His angels, that He may bring you forth from all kinds of darkness into light. And He is Merciful to the believers.” (Chapter 33 Al-Ahzaab Verses 42 – 44).
In the light of these Quranic verses, I continue my sermon on the Remembrance of Allah. These three verses which I have read before you show that Allah send down His blessings and the angels pray for those types of people who engage themselves in the Remembrance of Allah. The more we remember Allah and glorify Him, the more Allah will remember us and will be with us.
I recommend all members of the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam in Mauritius, on the other islands, and this message of mine addresses all people from all countries, and also all my Muslim brothers, sisters and children around the world, that you all should make it a must to engage yourselves in the Remembrance of Allah as frequently as possible, even if possible at each moment of your lives. The more you will remember Allah, the more this Remembrance of Allah will become like a fortress-like protection for you, against all sorts of evils, sorrows, difficulties, illnesses, evil plots, satanic works etc. Remembrance of Allah will save you from all these and other problems which you may face; you will thus always be safeguarded under the Shadow of Allah.
You must not let mundane anxieties and other obstacles prevent you from remembering Allah. Like I told you, it is the Remembrance of Allah which will protect you against all worries and all calamities.
I sincerely pray that in the light of the sermons on the Remembrance of Allah which I have done (on several consecutive weeks), if all of us as a whole we take the initiative and have the firm intention to practice the Remembrance of Allah in each and every moment we may get, then definitely you will see the great positive change which will occur in your lives and believe me, when this will happen, you will get so used to be engaged in the Remembrance of Allah that it will become difficult for you to go without the Remembrance of Allah in your lives, even for a single moment!
The Remembrance of Allah in itself is a remedy for the heart, that is, it heals all maladies which the heart holds like, arrogance, jealousy, rancour, etc. And rest assured that the one, who is regular in engaging himself in the Remembrance of Allah, will obtain protection from all kinds of calamities.
Remembrance of Allah consolidates one’s faith if one sincerely loves Allah and His prophets (May peace be upon them all). Also, when you engage yourselves in the Remembrance of Allah, tranquillity – peace descends onto your hearts, whereby you obtain the great rewards and blessings of Allah, be it in this world and the next.
Remember always that Allah is Light. The one who seeks His light, Allah the Almighty will project a stream of His light upon him and through this beam of light he will be completely immerged in the Light of Allah.
If you do as I tell you, that is, engage yourselves in the Remembrance of Allah, you will see that both you and your home will be brightened with the Light of Allah.
A house where the Remembrance of Allah is practiced, these people will be illuminated in the heavens and will shine just like stars in the sky. These houses are illuminated thanks to the light present in the Remembrance of Allah. There are people who receive from the grace of Allah the spiritual capacity needed where Allah the Almighty uncovers this light before them and make it shine in such houses where these kinds of people engage themselves night and day in His Remembrance. The houses where only mundane and business matters are discussed are devoid from such blessings. These types of people discuss about money, business, and government matters, whom to make a minister. Moreover the houses where such talks as to how to obtain such and such promotions and how to climb up the stairs of power to the detriment of others who are qualified to obtain these promotions for they have toiled day and night in a licit way to obtain these favours, but unfortunately others not at all qualified come to seize their opportunities of a better job. Thus, those people who do such ignoble deeds, the more they will climb up the “ladder of success” the easier they will fall down hard like a rotten pawpaw which will give out a nasty smell and will attract mosquitoes. Like you are witnessing these days in Mauritius, there is the Air Mauritius Scandal and also other problems and calamities – Before all these happened, Allah already gave me revelations, messages and visions about all these happenings.
Then, by the grace of Allah, I wrote the book: “The Republic of Mauritius – faces change… fraud, corruption and lies remain” (French). By the grace of Allah, I continue to receive more messages and visions on what will happen further in this country, but for now, this is not the subject matter of my sermon today. Insha-Allah, under divine instructions, I will write open letters to all these fraudulent people who never cease to practice corruption etc. and also to all ministers around the world, to warn them of their consequences if they do not change their ugly mentality.
One thing that I must tell you, is that not to hanker after mundane honour by yourselves with bribes or other evil means only to obtain popularity, or to let people know who you pompously, for then arrogance will develop further in your selves, whereby you are conscious how much Allah detests this bad quality in His servants. There are those types of people who talk a lot, but do not practice anything good they may say, and they are the first ones who will try to come first in all crowds, with cameras fixed on them, or having the newspapers flattering them but when one study them well, one will see that others work hard, but that it is only them who comes forwards to obtain honours in this world. Like a saying in Creole goes:
“Boeuf travail, Cheval manger” – meaning, the hard-worker does all the work, while the lazy one gets all the honours.
In this world, and especially in Mauritius this has become the state of things. The poor works hard, but it is the others (Mister/Sir) who will sit in his office and talk a lot as if he is the one who have done all the work. When we look closely, we will see that many common people’s hard work which is behind their supposed distinction. But this state of affairs is not agreeable to Allah. Allah gives them only a small span of time, and see for how many days they will manifest their ego, then afterwards Allah will seize them and cast them aside in humiliation. That same height they reached with unlawful means, from that same height they will fall – they will fall hard! – And they will obtain humiliation over humiliation.
I tell you today that ten years have come to pass since he told me to pray for him, and when I prayed concerning the problem he was facing in his work, I told him in the light of prayers what Allah showed me; that the superior who was persecuting him, what will be his consequences! Afterwards I told him how he will obtain promotions till he will reach the top in his job. At that time, that person believed in my dreams and prayers. He used to believe in the revealed texts which I receive. He used to come to my place till late in the night. He witnessed my works on the nearby islands – he personally came in one of the islands in which I was, and witnessed countless miracles pertaining to my religious works there – and he himself, on returning back to Mauritius, went to meet the members of my family to relate to them the sublime works which I was doing in these islands by the grace and favour of Allah. At that time, I was still working on that island (which he visited).
Now, when in the year 2001 there has been our expulsion of the administration of the Jamaat; that same person turned his back from the divine manifestation and he held great meetings and ugly words against me on the minbar of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him). He took himself as a great defender of the Administration of the Jamaat and his so-called Amir who is in fact the king of evil schemes. He thus renounced in all that he witnessed as signs from Allah. Allah is giving him still some time and is letting him climb the ladder of mundane success. If he does not realise his mistakes and does not change for the best, and renounce in his arrogance and make-believe grandeur, then his consequences will be very bad. Only Allah knows how to seize him with punishment, like He seized one of his close relatives some times before, Insha-Allah.
I am presently writing a book on these types of people, and what will be their outcome. The book is yet to be finished and will be shortly printed.
Definitely it is Allah who has manifested Himself in me to talk about that person so that he may come to repent for his doings.
Let us now return to the main subject of the sermon on the Remembrance of Allah.
Thus I was telling you that it is Allah the Almighty Himself who gives those types of people who turns towards Him night and day the spiritual capacity to witness His light which shines both on this person and his household, especially if all members engage themselves day and night in the Remembrance of Allah also.
So, who are those who see that light reflect on that person and household who engage themselves in the Remembrance of Allah? Who are those people? They are verily the servants of Allah who see this light radiate from such a person and house.
This is a great truth; that the house in which the Remembrance of Allah is practiced, this house shines like a star in the night.
When do you witness the beauty and the value of a star? It is only in the night! In daylight, you will not witness its beauty. It is only at night that you will come to see the beauty of that star, how it brightens in the night.
Likewise, you will not know the value of the Remembrance of Allah, if you remain attached to mundane things. Even when you are doing one or two acts of worship, still then these become like a routine without a real and true love for Allah to do these acts of worship. Because when you are praying, you are only doing physical movements, but morally speaking, your minds are elsewhere; not on Allah! When will you know the real value of these acts of worship and Remembrance of Allah which you have performed for a lifetime? You will come to know about its real value after your death, on the Day of Judgement when Allah will elevate the status of those people attached to Allah and His Remembrance day and night, whereby their faces will radiate with light and they will be nearest to Allah.
Then, there will be questions from the part of other people (souls) wanting to know who are those people who are being illuminated and therefore they will come to know that these people came from different families and places and that they used to engage themselves a lot in the Remembrance of Allah.
Remembrance of Allah is a sign of the solid faith of someone towards Allah. Remembrance of Allah protects us from hypocrisy, evils and the harm of Satan. Remembrance of Allah delivers us from the fires of hell and it is also efficient especially as a protection against Satan.
Satan hangs himself to the heart of people. When a person engage himself in the Remembrance of Allah, Satan becomes powerless, humiliated and he goes far away from that person.
But when that person neglects to remember Allah, Satan contaminates his heart with all sorts of evil thoughts.
That is why we must practice Remembrance of Allah in abundance so that our heart may remain protected against evil thoughts and so that the heart may develop an exceptional spiritual force.
Thus, it is not necessary for someone, who says that he is attached to “Laa Ilaaha Illallah” to get himself contaminated with the meaningless affairs of this world. If not, these mundane matters will become more important to him than spirituality. The spiritual force to resist against Satan has diminished completely. That is why we are witnessing the suffering in all its aspect of the Muslim World.
Nowadays, the heart has become so spiritually ill that despite all sorts of treatment that we may undergo, and especially if that malady has spread inside out, and took the form of an epidemic, then Satan takes possession of the heart of such a person. He seeks to pierce into the heart like a sharp needle. If he sees that the heart is attached to the Remembrance of Allah, he removes the needle at once, but he sees that the heart is negligent of the Remembrance of Allah, he introduces inside his poison and evil thoughts.
Therefore, let us all seek the help of Allah the Almighty to remain attached with His Remembrance and let us pray also to be protected from Satan and his plan to poison our heart and deviate it from the right path. Insha-Allah. Ameen. |
