(Summary of the second Friday Sermon in Rodrigues)

 

 

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 verse of the Holy Quran:

 

SURAH AL-IMRAN VERSE 104

 

 

Wa A`taşimū Bi ĥablillāhi Jamī`āan Wa Lā Tafarraqū Wa Adhkurū Ni`matallāhi `Alaykum 'Idh Kuntum 'A`dā'an Fa'allafa Bayna Qulūbikum Fa'aşbaĥtum Bini`matihi 'Ikhwānāan Wa Kuntum `Alaá Shafā Ĥufratin Minan-Nāri Fa'anqadhakum Minhā Kadhālika Yubayyinullāhu Lakum 'Āyātihi La`allakum Tahtadūn.

 

You shall hold fast to the rope of Allah, all of you, and do not be divided. Recall Allah’s blessings upon you – you used to be enemies and He reconciled your hearts. By His grace, you became brethren. You were at the brink of a pit of fire, and He saved you therefrom. Allah thus explains His revelations for you, that you may be guided.

 

I continue with the sermon which I started Friday last, here itself in Rodrigues.

 

Besides saying, “You shall hold fast to the rope of Allah, all of you” Allah continues to say that you must not be divided amongst you, and recall the blessings of Allah upon you.

 

It is clear that when someone comes from Allah, he comes to unite and guide all of you, as one body, without any division towards the unicity of Allah, that is, the Tawheed.

 

Nowadays there are many divisions in Islam; each group disagreeing with the other. There are some who treat others as infidels. If you look at what is happening in the world, at the massacre which division has created between Muslims whereby they are fighting among themselves, you will be sorry at this state of things. All of them are saying that they are Muslims, and they are reading one same attestation of faith. They also read the same Quran; perform the five daily prayers, turn towards the same direction (Qibla) for prayer, and where they are building beautiful mosques; all this to say that in spite of all that, their faith is empty. These Mosques are empty of their devotees’ faith. On the contrary, hatred amongst brothers and sisters of the same faith has ravaged their hearts. Love for their fellow brothers and sisters in faith has diminished compared to the great extent of hatred which has gripped their heart. These brothers and sisters follow and put into practice the same teachings which Allah and His beloved Prophets has taught the whole of mankind.

 

Thus, this state of things should have happened because it had already been prophesised by the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and this must come to be true. Now reflect upon this: among all these groups which exist, which one of them which regroup all the rest of the Muslims who have been divided and became enemies of each other? We thought that it was the Jamaat Ahmadiyya who would lead them all towards “Laa Ilaaha Illallah” (There is no god except Allah) – the unicity of Allah. Besides the Quran and the Sunnah (practice of the Holy Prophet – peace be upon him), the Jamaat Ahmadiyya had also their belief in the Promised Messiah (on him be peace). It should have set a perfect example in putting into practice the teachings of Islam, but unfortunately, what the Promised Messiah (on him be peace) taught, they trampled these teachings under their feet.

 

For so many years, the Jamaat Ahmadiyya’s tabligh (dawa) was based on the unicity of Allah and the fact that Allah speaks like He spoke in the past. Even the Promised Messiah (on him be peace) wrote a lot on this subject. This is the very life of a Jamaat, whereby Allah speaks directly to His Chosen Servant. As long as the Jamaat Ahmadiyya was on this path, Allah the Almighty had always been its Support and Protector, but when the idol of Caliphate (Khilafat) has been etched into their hearts more than “Laa Ilaaha Illallah”, then Allah changed the course of His Light. Indeed Allah gives His favour and blessings to whomever He wants – He sends down His revelations upon His humble servant. – When this happens, all people turn their backs to this divine manifestation. Even the fourth Caliph of the Jamaat Ahmadiyya treated these revelations as “so-called revelations” and said that we will incur a fearful end – what is striking in all this, is that he himself wrote a big book on the continuity of revelation and when the time came, he preferred not to listen neither to the revelations which I received nor to myself, and at that time I was still working for the Jamaat here itself in Rodrigues in the year 2000. These were the doings and plots of the jealous and hypocrites who plotted against us and who sent a false report in London where the Caliph resided. At that time, it was the fourth Caliph who was at the head of the Jamaat.

 

How will you explain this; I was still working for the Jamaat Ahmadiyya and I was here itself in Rodrigues, and I was already expelled therefrom while still working for it. All people got the news about our expulsion, but as for us, we knew nothing of it. We were not expelled therefrom because of either fraud or doing something against the rules of the Jamaat. No! We were expelled only because Allah gave revelations to this humble one, His humble servant. After this incident, we got to know the real faces of these jealous and hypocrites, when they revealed their hatred against us on the minbar of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) on the occasion of Jummah and on other several occasions whereby they ceased not to get excited against us. Their hearts became dark. You can see that reflected on their faces and through their hatred. They did not hesitate to boycott us and all those who believed in the divine manifestation.

 

Mister gave strict orders not to invite us for weddings, even those of near relatives. There even happened that amongst us, some received an invitation card for a given wedding, and orders were issued to take back these cards from us. Moreover, it became unlawful according to them to greet us. There are some people, whom I have personally greeted and also in a forgetful instance, I gave him my hand for a shake hand, but he removed it. Are these the same people who will regroup together all the other brothers and sisters of the same Islamic faith? The Jamaat Ahmadiyya especially in Mauritius where they have at their head a so-called Amir, not only have they trampled the teachings of the Holy Quran, and the Sunnah, but they have discarded also the teachings of the Promised Messiah (on him be peace) and have instilled hatred into the hearts of all people in Mauritius, in Rodrigues also, and in the other islands where I worked. And when you come to pass by the Ahmadiyya Centre in Mauritius, you will see a great board on which is written: “Love for All, Hatred for none”. I tell them, this must not been exposed as a mere show, for the eyes of people. You must cultivate true love first in your heart and afterwards instil it in the hearts of other people. You must not instead instil hatred in these people’s heart. Only because you think that you are sitting on power does not mean that it is forever! This authority, this power is only for some days. The one whom man votes and elects at the top is only for some time only. Afterwards you will be brought back to naught! But as for the one whom Allah chooses, even though man does not approve of God’s selection, but this chosen servant will be honoured by Allah, both in this world and in the Next.

 

I am thus warning the opponents of the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam; I am ever warning you (the enemies of the divine manifestation). You are not seeing the angels of Allah. They are the same angels whom the Promised Messiah (on him be peace) saw and whom we in the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam also are seeing. It is not possible that these angels will be treating you well, with the way you turned your backs on the signs and manifestation of Allah.

 

Certainly even now, the angels will obey the orders which come from Allah. What will happen? Allah knows best. But by giving warnings, I want the Jamaat Ahmadiyya to wake up. You have become intoxicated by your power. You think that you are very powerful and how can Allah seize you with His punishment? It was in this condition that great powers of the world were in. Look at powers which America and the Jews have acquired throughout the world. They did not think how Allah could have changed this situation and how now Allah is leading them step by step towards their destruction.

 

Allah knows best if we will come to witness this day or if Allah will call us back to Him before this happens. But it is certain and there is no doubt about this that the promise of Allah will be accomplished. Certainly it will be accomplished! It is impossible that this promise not be accomplished. How will it be accomplished? Only Allah knows when it will be accomplished. We (the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam) submit to the will of Allah, but there can be no obstacle in the accomplishment of such a promise. 

 

No power in the world can think that Allah and His Chosen Servant will be unsuccessful in their mission. If there is the least doubt in the heart of anybody, then his faith has become weak to such an extent that there remains really nothing of his faith.

 

After having heard you who are present here and listening to the Sermon, today itself you have related to me about the campaign of lies which a so-called Amir and his surroundings have launched against us since the year 2001. They no longer have the fear of Allah in their hearts. Moreover, Allah has removed His light from their hearts. With their evil plots, now look at how many people have left the Jamaat Ahmadiyya and have returned back in their ancient religions. Amongst them, there were those who knew very well Islam and Ahmadiyyat. Instead of working towards progress, and guiding people towards the Unicity of Allah, I have seen the opposite of that to be true. Not only here in Rodrigues, but in the other countries also.

 

Thus, we cannot ignore the promise of Allah. This is the word which Allah has given us. Nobody can change this, even if these evildoers are awaiting our “fearful destiny”. They are not taking notice of the fact that one day they would have to return back to Allah and account to Him for all their misdeeds; how they ridiculed His teachings.

 

Nobody can accept such kinds of lies and deception, even for a second. But the people who oppose the servants of Allah have in fact lost all their reasoning. They lost all their reasoning due to their egoism. Their religion is only to acquire and attain their own selfish objective; besides this, nothing! And when through mundane means they do not succeed in attaining their objective, then, they run to seek the help of their idols.

 

As for the true servants of Allah, they go through trials, through all sorts of “cyclones”, but when they keep themselves steadfast throughout all these trials, then Allah make all their desires materialize. Thus, O members of the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam of Rodrigues! If you see these trials, these problems, you must have no fear of all these. Endure these trials with patience and then you will succeed in all your objectives. Allah has established this system for your own sake so that you may become separate from all these materialistic people; those who adore the things of this world and take them as their idols. This is the true wisdom whereby the true servants of Allah have to undergo all these trials. Allah wants to show how His Chosen Servant is really courageous and brave. Even if the world opposes him, even then, he is Victorious!

 

May Allah the Almighty give each of us here this firm determination, this courage to face all sorts of trials which will come and may we remain firm in our belief and faith for all times. Insha-Allah. Ameen.
