(Extensive Summary of Friday Sermon)

 

 

Hazrat Muhyi-ud-Din Khalifatullah Munir A. Azim (atba) read the Tashahhud, Taouz and Surah Al Fatiha and then said:

 

(The Original Sermon in Audio – Creole is already available online)

 

Before coming on the subject of my sermon today, I wish an Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakaatuh to all our brothers, sisters and Children of Islamic faith, in Maurtius and around the world, without forgetting our Muslim brothers and sisters who are going through hard times in Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Iran. I am praying a lot for you, and that Allah also open your hearts.

 

They are people who know Arabic well; the Holy Quran has been revealed in Arabic. And Allah (twa) has sent the greatest of prophets Hazrat Muhammad (saws) amongst them and he spoke in Arabic. They should have known Islam better and believed in the Divine Manifestations, but unfortunately they also are trampling the teachings of Islam; therefore the consequences of the Muslims around the world. Thus, we remember them in our duah and all countries where there are Muslims, and even in Mauritius and the neighbouring islands, our Muslim brothers and sisters who are in contact with us – there is a breeze coming down from the heavens – hailing from the several parts of the Island, the East, West, South and even in the North, (and) in the Plaine Wilhems.

 

I wish an Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakaatuh to our brothers, sisters and children of the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam, here in Mauritius, and in the other branches of the country who are taking the Khutba Jummah live, and also those from the neighbouring islands, like Comoros – sending the salaams of the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam to our brothers and sisters in Comoros (during the week we had a long conversation) – the Amir Jamaat of Comoros, and the respected Prefect who have solid attachment to the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam and who are doing great Deen work. I convey to you (here) the salaams of these people. They thought that we had forgotten them but indeed we have not forgotten them at all. (Addressing the Comoros Jamaat, Huzur said) I think about you a lot, and the work you do, is an admirable work. And you are also admirable disciples of this era who are doing Deen works in Comoros, Mayotte, Madagascar, Reunion Island, Rodrigues, Seychelles, Djibouti, Canada, London, Germany, Trinidad & Tobago, Abu Dhabi and the other countries (and places) of the world, I wish you all an Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakaatuh.

 

And without forgetting our brothers and sisters of the Jamaat Ahmadiyya, for we were in the same “boat” (the meaning of which is Jamaat, together as one) I wish you an Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakaatuh. Still today, I remember you, praying for you, that Allah illumine you and give you the Tawfiq like He is giving the others, that Allah open your eyes, removing the blinding veil from you and may Allah open your hearts and penetrate that (divine) light in your hearts to recognise the signs of Allah.

 

It is not someone who is mentally ill who is standing before you and talking to you today. It is someone who has come from Allah (twa), whom Allah (twa) has sent to give again that true teaching which has been violated in the hands of men, of the so-called Mullahs, the so-called leaders who have taken the authority/power in their hands. They trampled these teachings, and reduced them to dust, and they took from among themselves idols and there are some who is presented as an awe-striking and fearful man whom others must fear.

 

Thus, I tell our Ahmadi brothers, sisters and children – we have also good Ahmadi brothers and sisters in the Jamaat Ahmadiyya, who have good relation and contact with us but whose names are not cited – from what I have learnt, the Jamaat Ahmadiyya UK is holding its Jalsa Salana staring with the Khutba Jummah.

 

Therefore I ask the fifth Khalifa, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, Khalifatul-Massih Khamis and all his Mullahs and Maulvis; you are getting 3 days golden opportunities to stand on the minbar of Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh) to refute that person whom you referred as Bimaari (sick). Come forward and put it to the attention of the world – peoples hailing from the four corners of the world coming for the Jalsa Salana, starting today – speak up, use the platform, the minbar of Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh), seek to refute and be enraged like the politicians in their political ring against their adversaries and enemies.

 

I have to precise that I do not consider you as my enemies but rather as my adversaries. There is a difference between the two (words). Adversaries are those who do not share the same line of thinking and acts – I am against what you are doing and you are not recognising the (divine signs) that I am receiving (from Allah).

 

Thus, the Khalifatul-Massih Khamis along with his Mullahs – and there shall be also other Jalsas in the other countries – seize this year 2013 to lash against the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam and the Khalifa of Allah (Khalifatullah), say all the things that you wish to say instead of dictating people’s behaviour in the other countries. I tell the Khalifatul-Massih Khamis, take his decision today.

 

In Kerala, those three people who have taken bai’at (in the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam), there are reports which have been presented before him. (Huzur talking in a general sense) There are those whom their wives are waiting what the Khalifa will say, whether to divorce their husbands (or not). Why? Because of faith (Iman). When they heard about the advent of a Khalifatullah they have believed in him. There is no dispute and fight on other issues, such as condemnable sins. Separation of spouses is sought (in this case) because of the Divine Manifestation. For other condemnable issues, they would have closed their eyes and make as if nothing has happened, because of children, family and Jamaat. But because of the Divine Manifestation, they are waiting for the reply of the Khalifatul-Massih Khamis, and his surroundings like the Wakil-ul-Tabshir and Additional Wakil-ul-Tabshir. There are all these people who are around him to counsel him on what decisions he is to take.

 

You see, a Khalifa elected by man holds meeting with his counsellors to take a decision but the Allah’s Khalifa, the Khalifatullah is guided through duah, his meeting is with Allah and it is Allah who gives him messages on which decisions to take.

 

Therefore, I wish you good luck with these 3 days of Jalsa Salana 2013. These (days) of the Jalsa Salana UK will not come back again – August 30, 31 and September 01, 2013. Now, before it even starts, then prepare yourselves. Say all that you have to say. Prepare all your attacks. We (the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam) are ready with the shield of Allah in my hands. All the arrows which you shall launch shall be stopped by this shield.

 

There shall even be an Abu Talha to ward off all the arrows which you shall direct against me. All the arrows which you shall launched, he will put forward his hand to protect (this humble self). He shall not care what precious bracelet there is on his hand! For Hazrat Abu Talha (ra), the face of the Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh) held much more value than any jewel or even his hand. There are some who thought that the precious bracelet which is more valuable. But history has engraved that he (Hazrat Abu Talha) has given his life, his hand, his arm to receive the piercing arrows but he did not let Hazrat Muhammad (saw) receive any arrow/blow. Today history is being repeated through my sincere disciples found in the different parts of the world. May Allah make these sincere disciples Mubarak (Mubarak Ho).

 

Jamaat Ahmadiyya says that it has millions (of people) around the world – and there are countless attacks being made on Hazrat Massih Ma’ud (as) and Hazrat Musleh Ma’ud (as); is there not an Ahmadi who is refuting all these allegations? Do their so-called Amir and Mullahs not refute these?

 

Thus, by the grace of Allah, Allah sent the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam with sincere disciples. These (other) people have not witnessed the (actual) descent of revelations, they did not listened to the divine revelations being received so that they may take notes of them, and they are not those who had already received messages on such and such Muslim political leaders (for the different sects in Islam), who had written in their notebooks, and today with the Divine Manifestation they have forgotten (all these messages they received). Indeed, it is Allah who has put a veil on their eyes, their hearts has become of stones, and faith has flown away, they lost these (blessings). A humiliation for them who they have personally received revelations from the Creator Himself who gave all these messages, the Creator who feeds them, and now, they have trampled these same messages and let other Muslim leaders command them. (Huzur talking in a general sense “They”) They came to direct you, to talk with you (who receive those messages beforehand warning of the danger which these same leaders represent).

 

Allah has instituted the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam, and it is for us to make these people take a lesson (out of their errors). We have to give them the message.

 

Thus, with the passing of each minute, each second, we are witnessing all that Allah has already warned about/prophesised. Allah ahs said that each of them will receive their humiliation. Allah will bring them to their humiliation and destruction, little by little without them being conscious of it. There are such humiliations which shall come through their children, and there are humiliations which shall come through their wealth and possessions. Humiliation in all facets!

 

Therefore, ponder over all this. Now, the Jamaat Ahmadiyya has got 3 days, golden opportunities. They can talk a lot on Munir Ahmad Azim. Wait, and I also am waiting with you. Come, come forward, talk because it is you (the Jamaat Ahmadiyya) who said, “two out, millions in”. (Referring to what is happening in Kerala, Huzur (atba) says) Three (people) leaves (the Jamaat Ahmadiyya – to join the Sahih al Islam Jamaat) they panic, they tremble? They don’t know what to do with all the means that they possess? With only three people taking the Bai’at (with the Khalifatullah) look at the rise of panic in Kerala, India.

 

And I am telling you – take note of this – Insha-Allah, before the end of this year there are other people who shall integrate the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam, Insha-Allah. You shall not be able to stop this from happening.

 

Do whatever you like; you persecuted them but despite all, these people remained firm in their belief, saying, come what may – a stand which must be saluted – (Huzur referring to the brother in Kerala who is being persecuted and being menaced of separation from his wife found in the Jamaat Ahmadiyya) despite his possessions, but for the sake of the true faith, he is ready to lose all for the sake of Allah and for his Rassool. For him, faith comes first. “You want to take all, then take all, I shall come with my hands bare, but I know that I have Allah and His Messenger with me. You are seeking mundane possessions, you seek the world and all that it possesses, but as for me I seek to have Allah and His Messenger.” The reward for this shall be great in the hereafter.

 

(Addressing all people) You think you know the value of a Messenger of Allah. You think you know his (the Messenger’s) value. If you succeed to know the value of a Messenger of Allah, all the books that you are reading, the verses of the Holy Quran (and other books) on the life of the Prophets of Allah and the tabligh they made; I ask you who are in the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam, wouldn’t you have wished to have been present in the times of Hazrat Nabi Kareem (saws), to become his disciples? To be forcefully led (by the enemies) on hot sand, persecution upon persecution, with the enemies telling you to renounce your faith, but this only makes your Iman becomes stronger. The more they kick on the ball, the higher that ball will soar! The higher the honour obtained. You say “Ahad, ahad, ahad” (Allah is Unique). You think that such anecdotes in history is only made to be read from books that in such eras of prophets there were such kinds of people, like in the the times of Hazrat Musa (as), Hazrat Ibrahim (as), Hazrat Nuh (as), and all other prophets of Allah (as) and the era of Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh). Would the Ahmadis not have wished also to live in the times of Hazrat Massih Ma’ud (as) despite the fact that the enemies have said that such man is mad, an adulterer. They described him in all sorts of (negative) ways. They made all sorts of caricatures on him, and they went as far as mocking him that he said that he is that same Mariam, and they attributed menstrual bleeding to him because of his saying that he was a Mariam. These (malicious) people said all these insanities on him, but as for you (the Ahmadi Muslims) because of your love for Hazrat Massih Ma’ud (as) would you not have wished to have lived in his times?

 

Take the example of the disciples who surrounded Hazrat Massih Ma’ud (as). There are some who used to massage his feet, was besides him and one even received the blessings of the (divine) red ink. They wanted to have a souvenir, a memento of his clothes, his shirt, and there was a prophecy that Allah vouchsafed Hazrat Massih Ma’ud (as) that his message shall reach the four corners of the world, and that kings shall come to take blessings from his clothes.

 

But today we are living the times when Allah has bestowed you with a Messenger, a Prophet. Whenever a Messenger of Allah comes, it has been like this that people turn their backs to him. But it is only after his death that they come to realise his true value, his veracity and importance. Then they will cry and shed big sheds and tap with grief on their stomach, and fall to the ground (in grief) but just too bad! It will be too late. Despite their cries for the Messenger not to leave them, but when the time comes and he has to leave, they will regret. When he was amongst you, you did not heed him and his message. You look at him with upturned eyes. You do not bid him salaam. You say, ‘boycott him; do not invite him and those people who are with him’. But do you realise what account you shall have to give before Allah one day? Do you realise what you are doing?

 

Thus, coming on the main subject matters of today’s sermon, I wish to inform the members of the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam on the baseness to which the Ahmadis and their Mullahs have fallen. Years ago, the Ahmadis used to think it ridiculous when they heard the other Muslims who do not believe in the Promised Messiah (as) abuse him, saying that he was a liar, opium smoker, a sick man and they even ventured to say that the Promised Messiah (as) died in the toilet, God forbid! But do you (the enemies of Hazrat Massih Ma’ud (as)) not walk with your own toilet? What is there in your body? Perfume?!!! Pearl? So they said that Hazrat Massih Ma’ud (as) died in the toilet. This is because there were mounting oppositions upon him.

 

They (the Ahmadis) used to say – and at that time, we all suffered as one body because of what they said – that those people are staunch unbelievers being great enemies of Hazrat Massih Ma’ud (as). Countless books and pamphlets had been written and prepared to make humanity as a whole aware of the truth so that they may not believe in the words and writings of these so-called Mullahs.

 

So, according to them, a person (and in this case Hazrat Massih Ma’ud (as)) had no right to fall sick, and if ever he falls sic, they took that as a sign of curse on him. They said that he smoked opium. Do they have proof that Hazrat Massih Ma’ud (as) used to smoke opium? Do they have proof to say that he was a liar? That he was mad, sick? If so, considering that Jamaat Ahmadiyya has existed for so many years, they should have provided medical proofs and doctors’ certifications and produce them for the world to see! Till today, nobody could ever present these.

 

This was because these (non-Ahmadi) Mullahs did not reflect any Quranic teachings, not understanding the Holy Quran and they did not put into practice the teachings of the Holy Prophet (pbuh). These Muslims behaved in these negative ways. And now, what are we seeing? – For Allah raised Hazrat Massih Ma’ud (as) in the Ummah of Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh). So, today what do we see? When Allah (twa) has raised this humble servant who is found in the Ummah of Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh) and in the Jamaat of Hazrat Massih Ma’ud (as) and (Huzur speaking in the third person) he is someone who believes in Hazrat Massih Ma’ud (as), in Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh), then what are these Ahmadis and their Mullahs now saying?

 

Today, what are these Ahmadis and their Mullahs doing, in those countries where they have received the news of the integration of new believers in this divinely-sent humble servant? They are persecuting these people and are spreading all kinds of lies on this humble self to make people turn their backs to the divine verities, and they are making the seekers of truth in the Jamaat Ahmadiyya fear being ousted from the Jamaat, fearing having a “fearful destiny” like their fourth Khalifa-tul-Massih said. For this work, they present their Khalifa as an imposing figure who should be feared, as if this Khalifa has received the patent to judge the faith of each person! Wherever the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam is making spiritual progress, they are creating havoc.

 

You shall be astonished, but I am not astonished with all the evil plots they hatched in all the mosques of the island (Mauritius) when they mobilised to talk ill of this humble self.

 

Here in Mauritius itself, there is a Muslim brother, non-Ahmadi who lives in the south of the island who is doing researches on truth, studying the different sects in Islam seeking to find the true one. He followed some of them without being fully satisfied with the way they practiced Islam, and the different innovations they brought in Islam. He left those sects in Islam and 2 months back he came across our Youtube Channel and videos, and by the grace of Allah, he viewed my discourses and after that remained in regular contact with our website and emailed this humble self also.

 

At the same time, he turned in prayer to Allah (swt) to seek guidance on my veracity, if I was really an Envoy of Allah, and by the grace of Allah (swt), Allah (swt) accepted his prayer due to his sincerity in seeking the truth and he saw a very beautiful dream.

 

He clearly saw in his dream that he is viewing one of my discourses on Youtube when suddenly a man he never saw before appeared before him.

 

Our brother described that (heavenly) man in these words (originally in Creole): “The man was illuminated, his face was shining brightly… his eyes were like diamonds etc”, and after that he says that this person gave him a piece of paper on which was written – about this humble self (in English):

 

“He is not lying”

 

Thus, when he saw that dream, he contacted some Ahmadi friends whom he knew and enquired about me. Therefore, these so-called Ahmadis told him that I am mentally sick. Prior to sending me his email, he hesitated, thinking that all these information will shock me.

 

By the grace of Allah, this is not at all shocking. Since the creation of the heavens and earth, when Allah (swt) sent man on earth, at the same time He sent His Chosen Servant. Read in the Holy Quran, and say in which place therein where is the mention that whenever a Messenger comes from Allah, that people accepts him (right away), and that he walks on red carpet (that all will be easy for him, without any trial)?

 

All Messengers who came received persecutions and all sorts of (bad) titles when they bring people towards the unity of Allah. They labelled these Messengers as crazy, sorcerer, liar, and adulterer and so on.

 

And recently such nonsense men like Rashid Jahangiri and Mustaq Malik have said that I have gone to study at Jamiah and labelled this humble self as a homosexual along with others only because of our association and belief in the Musleh Ma’ud (ra). Can he prove it? He is blabbering, entering in a vicious baseness and talking such despicable words on Hazrat Musleh Ma’ud (ra). They thought that when they are against Hazrat Musleh Ma’ud (ra), then I also will talk ill of him. No! On the contrary we are here to defend the honour of Hazrat Musleh Ma’ud (as). The words they uttered against him are so filthy that it is not good to say these in public. But in brief, they say that all those who went to study at the Missionary Jamiah are homosexuals. They even say that in Sierra Leone, there have been such cases in the 60s. That imbecile by the name of Rashid Jahangiri and his associate Mustaq Malik.  – Insha-Allah, I shall come later on these two and their nonsense talks when they do not even know my life. Do not think that when I am silent that I am not keeping update with what they say, but like always, I wait first of all divine message before proceeding with a matter

 

– the list (on all the lies put on the Messenger of Allah) is too long. Read the Holy Quran and you shall see, Insha-Allah.

 

Now, I ask these Ahmadis who say that I am mentally sick to come forward and show the world the proof thereof; produce the necessary documents, doctors’ certification or the mental hospital’s certification that I am mentally sick. When Munir Ahmad Azim used to work for the Jamaat Ahmadiyya from 1987-2000 and established the Jamaat Ahmadiyya in Reunion Island, Mayotte, Seychelles and in Rodrigues, bringing many “lost souls in the fold of the Jamaat Ahmadiyya” – where your fourth Khalifa has himself stated in his letters sent in reply to me whenever I sent my tabligh reports and when he named me “full-pledge missionary” despite not being graduated from any Missionary Jamiah, and when he mentions the excellent work done in Seychelles whereby the Kenyan Jamaat did not succeed in introducing the Jamaat there and instead it was Mauritius Jamaat which obtained this honour – so when Munir Ahmad Azim did all these great work (by the grace of Allah), then he was a good healthy man, not a mentally sick man? – For them, when the Khalifa was happy, then it is as if Allah is happy. They gave Khalifa way much too importance than Allah.

 

The fourth Khalifa mentioned this officially in his Jalsa Salana 2000 (If you want to view it, then we can upload it on our website, and if you want to listen to the meat-eating speech of the ex-so-called Amir upon my expulsion, we shall upload it also); watch the video, in the appraisal discourse and you shall see who between the two of us the sick one at that time was: the fourth Khalifa or me? At that time, all Ahmadiyya mosques (the responsible thereof) used to invite me to come to deliver discourses on the tabligh done on the various islands. At that time they did not take me as a mentally sick person. Now, when Allah is giving me revelations and has raised my status as His humble servant and Messenger of this era – and that because the Ahmadis have taken their Khalifa as their idol and trampled the teachings of Ahmadiyyat under their feet, as well as the teachings of the Holy Quran and that of Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh) and of Hazrat Massih Ma’ud (as). All these teachings have been trampled to dust. They lost these blessings and now what do they have t do? They cover truth with falsehood.

 

And I tell this brother, truth-seeker that it is through duah that Allah has shown him a great sign, Alhamdulillah. Allah Who is the Creator of the Universe, to Whom he shall return back one day and account for his acts. So, he must not cast aside the divine sign, and start to believe in the words of creatures, for then this would be a grievous act if he happens to let creatures deviate him from the right way initially shown to him through the vision Allah showed him through His angels. Allah showed him clearly that I am not lying in the proclamations that I have done in the name of Allah, when Allah has sent me as His Elect in this era.

 

Ask the Jews and Christian this question; ask them if they view Islam as a true religion, the Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) as the greatest prophet and if he is truthful? Or ask them what they think on the verses of the Holy Quran. Will you receive a positive response from them? If they say, yes, all these are true – Islam is true – then they should have become Muslims by now!

 

The enemies of Islam and of Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh) shall never cease to harm Islam and our beloved prophet (pbuh), because had they believed that Islam is a true religion, then they would have been found in the religion of Islam.

 

Therefore, the Ahmadis who are saying that I am mentally sick, come forward with what you are saying and state with Taqwa in the hearts, and show the world if I am really sick and that I am filled with sins, so that from then on, you can remove those found in my Jamaat and saved them from a sick man!

 

The information which they will not disclose is that they expelled me from the Jamaat only on the basis of divine revelations. They also hide the fact that despite my long service as a worker of the Jamaat, they denied me my salaries and years of service. They talk about giving ex-Gratia! I do not need their ex-Gratia but rather the sweat of my labour and what the law of the country (Mauritius) demands of every employer towards their employees. And indeed Islam teaches that before the sweat of a worker is dried up, his salary must be paid to him.

 

Those who have stolen (money) in the Jamaat Ahmadiyya are still in the Jamaat. There is no enquiry on these matters. But as for when Allah gives revelation (to His chosen one), then the latter is expelled and is casted as a sick man. I wait for these so-called defenders of Khalifa and their Amir, Mullahs with a firm stand, Insha-Allah.

 

A true servant of Allah is not afraid to fight with those who are Zaalim and Munafiq. The Servant of Allah is the Lion of Allah where all asses flee (when he appears). Then come forward. Today all kinds of means exist to rise against me and refute all that I am saying and writing and which are found on our Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam Website. Insha-Allah, do not flee like asses if you are really endowed with Taqwa, if really you are true in what you are saying. Let the world and the seekers of truth see for themselves who is really the mentally sick, me or you? And let the world see with whom Allah (twa) is – me and the divinely-raised Jamaat (Sahih al Islam) or you the Ahmadi and your so-called Amir, Mullahs and little friends in London.

 

Come forward, I am waiting, Insha-Allah. A Jihad not to be missed, Insha-Allah.   

 

Now, I come on the main subject-matter of my sermon (dealing with Modesty, Chastity - Pardah):

 

Alhamdulillah, I will now continue with the second part of my sermon which I started last week. So we see how modesty is gold, is of high importance. This is well illustrated in the Holy Quran, through the story of Hazrat Musa (pbuh) and how he helped two young girls by watering their animals.


When Hazrat Musa (pbuh) was exiled from his native country (Egypt), he came to a place near a well where he rested under a tree. Many farmers were watering their flocks around the single water spot of this place. There were two young girls who stood apart with their sheep and goats. Nobody paid them attention. Hazrat Musa (pbuh) who was intrigued approached them and asked why they kept themselves apart. They answered him that as long as the men would not leave they would not have their turn to water their flock. They did not dare to appear before the men and then were waiting that these men finish watering their own animals before having their turn. That’s when Hazrat Musa (pbuh) offered them his help and led their flocks to water. After which he retired once again under the shade of his tree.


The young ladies he helped were filled with gratitude. Upon returning home, they related the event to their old father. One of them even advised him to employ Hazrat Musa (pbuh) because he was honest. And since there were only girls at home, they were in great need of an honest and strong man to help them in their work. The father delegated one of his daughters to invite Hazrat Musa (pbuh) at home. She went there alone. The Quran says that she was full of chastity, timid and trembling. To describe her attitude, the Holy Quran says:
“She walked with all chastity.” It is clear that her approach only enhanced her beauty.


And when Hazrat Musa (pbuh) appeared with his father, the latter offered him his daughter in marriage if he worked for him for eight years and two more years if he wanted, after which he could take his family with him if he wanted. Already old, he thought he would live no more than eight to ten years and it would be unseemly to allow a stranger, despite his honesty to live with his daughters after his death. This story contains a lot of lessons for us. God explained the meaning of modesty and chastity very subtly evoking the example of these girls, one of which became the wife of Hazrat Musa (pbuh) when he gladly accepted the proposal of her father.


Chastity and modesty complete both man and woman. Men have their way to preserve themselves and so have the women (the way to preserve themselves). Their approach is somewhat difference because of their different physiques, but the way they behave, their moral and even spiritual state must comply with the requirement of Islam. However, there are people who call themselves modern people and who imitate the opposite sex. Therefore, the woman behaves and dresses like a man and vice versa. The world has gone upside down but this is hardly shocking because in the book of hadith of Abu Dawud, it is reported by Hazrat Abdullah ibn Abbas that the Holy Prophet (pbuh) sent curses on women who want to look like men and the men who want to look like other men and the men who want to look like women. At the time of the Holy Prophet (pbuh) such things did not exist in society. However it is very common nowadays. This shows that the Holy Prophet (pbuh) knew about the future of our society through divine revelation. He even described in detail as if he saw all these with his own eyes. For example, he says that the ladies will dress like men and adopt their manners and gestures, and they will show their superiority. They will say that they are living in the modern era and that things of the past do not concern them. This spirit of modernity will be shared by the men who prefer to imitate women. It is a fact today that it is with difficulty that a distinction be made between men and women. This vision, the Holy Prophet (pbuh) already had at the time.


These girls and boys who adopt the lifestyle of the opposite sex certainly have a failure in their way of thinking. Immorality is closely related to this kind of behaviour. Although nowadays some girls and boys want to copy what they see in college and university.


Hazrat Abdullah bin Umar (ra) reported that the Holy Prophet (pbuh) said:
“Whoever imitates another nation and adopts its way of living eventually becomes like it.” (Abu Dawud). This means first, that by imitating the appearance of another nation, one denies one’s own identity because his heart and mind are related to the foreign nation. And second, he will become like them because he puts into practice anti-Islamic customs and the way of life of Non-Muslims. His relationship with God is cut in favour of the malicious Non-Muslims.


Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh) invoked curse for such behaviour and in so doing, prayed that Allah preserves us (his Ummah) from this disease. It is sad to see that some Ahmadis girls and boys are attracted to this kind of clothing and their inclination to imitate the non-Ahmadis girls and boys is growing day by day. Further details from the hadith are the camel hump hairstyle which shows that the Holy Prophet (pbuh) could have only seen these scenes through visions. Another example of modesty is given in the following Hadith narrated by Hazrat Anas upon returning from an expedition:


Hazrat Safiyya (ra) was sitting behind the Prophet (pbuh) on a camel when it got overthrown, and thus threw them to the ground. Abu Talha (ra) hastened to the help of the Prophet (pbuh) but he said:
“Respect for me and my honour is great. But when there is an accident, it is necessary to rescue the ladies.”


This shows the degree to which Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh) had great respect for women. Hazrat Abu Talha (ra) then covered his face and threw a sheet over Hazrat Safiyya before taking her to a safe place. (Bukhari)


The modesty demonstrated by some other disciples was greatly appreciated by the Holy Prophet (pbuh). It is narrated that Hazrat Usman (ra) was so shy he would not even let his calf uncovered.


So modesty is a jewel for men as well as for women. And it is closely linked with the appearance of both sexes and their behaviour in society. If the heart is pure, then this purity will be reflected on the face and transform the physical, moral and spiritual body of the individual in such a way that it fits in accordance with the wishes of Allah, for Allah is Pure and wants that man becomes pure at every level of his existence and that until his last breath on earth,
Insha-Allah, Ameen.
