Jamaat Ahmadiyya al Mouslemeen FRIDAY SERMON of Hazrat Amirul Momeneen Zafrullah Domun 04 February 2011 At
Bait-ul-Rahma Mosque
After
reciting the Tashahhud, the Ta’uz and the first chapter of Al Fatiha Imam Zafrullah Domun said: Today
I will speak about how Jamaat Ahmadiyya in Mauritius has started reaping the
evil consequences of its actions because it has abandoned the teachings that it
received. It has abandoned the teachings of the Holy Quran. It has abandoned
the example of the Holy Prophet Mohammadsaw (they act more like his
enemies). They make speeches about the teachings of Hazrat Masih Maoodas
but they do not act upon them and they prevent others from acting upon them.
Furthermore, in view of their enmity with us which is a product of their
ignorance of spiritual matters, they have attracted upon themselves ignominy in
this world and their situation in the next world will most probably be even
worse. As
I have said before, when we were thrown out of the Jamaat in the beginning of
2001 and we refused to bow to the caliph’s demand for an apology we did so
because we knew in our heart of heart that the caliph was wrong and we were
right. Allah had made it clear to us that we should not feel intimidated and
rush to present our apologies. We said that we were in contact with a higher
authority than the caliph and so we will not obey him. Our loyalty was to that
Higher Authority and not to him. Most people thought that the pressure would be
so intense that in the end we would bow down. But that was the opinion of those
who do not know what real faith of the type that is given to the lovers of
Allah is. They are not aware of how the sincere followers of the Holy Prophet
Mohammadsaw and his Messiah act. Allah told us to be patient and
that in the end we will be vindicated and He asked us to turn only to Him. Later
on some evil tongues forgot in an instant our humble contributions to the
building of the Jamaat in Mauritius. Like unthinking crowds, overnight they
forgot that we had worked day and night at the peril of our health for about
ten years (1988-1998) to serve the Jamaat. Suddenly you could hear people
saying that the caliph knows what he does. He is guided by Allah. He knows the
future. That was why despite the fact that I had obtained a majority vote in
the election he did not choose me to continue as amir of the Jamaat in 1998. So
we could hear everything spoken against me because I refused to obey the
caliph. The actual amir delivered a sermon on 5th January 2001 in
which he explained all matters leading to my exclusion from the Jamaat. After
the Jummah most of the members of the Jamaat who are still in his inner circle
today went to congratulate him warmly. These people formed part of his inner
circle then and they are still with him today except one who has received the
wisdom of years to evaluate the man for what he is. People saw this as a
victory for Khilafat. From London at least three Mauritians loyal to their own
idea of khilafat sent the amir a letter in which they showed their readiness to
help him to deal with the rebel leader, Zafrullah Domun. Another Mauritian,
very close to the caliph penned a circular letter to his relatives cautioning
them to be on their guard against what I was trying to do in the Jamaat in
Mauritius. Another evil minded Ahmadi wrote to his amir a letter and in it he
spoke many lies about me and the problems he had with me when I was the amir
Jamaat. In one of his conversations he said that the newly appointed amir was
pure gold whereas I was only dipped in gold and my real nature was like copper.
All
of these people, one by one Allah has made them taste the evil consequences of
their actions. But I will not go into details because I want to say a few
things about their leader whom some saw as real gold. Allah fulfilled once
again His Promise found in His Revelation “I will humiliate he who tries to
humiliate you” which he has been repeatedly giving us during the last eleven
years. Basking
in the ephemeral days of his newly found glory with our exclusion from the
Jamaat, the amir and his close circle of advisers thought that with the
blessings of their caliph only good days were ahead for them. But Allah kept
telling us to be patient and that His Promise was true. The amir was a man who
was using his position to commit all sorts of evils. Some of these evils were
in the knowledge of his close circles and some were not. Injustice and nepotism
became common place within Jamaat Ahmadiyya Mauritius. Scheming for the forced
removal of an honest and loyal chief clerk and to be replaced by a close
relative of the amir was shamelessly and mercilessly done in connivance with the
approval of the amir’s inner circle including members of the Finance committee
and the Majlis Amila. When the chief clerk wrote to the caliph he did not
receive any reply at all. That was the level of corruption within Jamaat
Ahmadiyya which they claimed was raised to reform the world. What we see is
that they have not been able to reform their own selves let alone the world. In
2003 we informed the amir about what Allah was telling us about him and told
him that his days in office were numbered. As is his wont he joked about what
was said about him and commented “they are talking about Idi Amine Dada” who
was in the news at that time. But since his knowledge of the Holy Quran is
limited he did not know that Allah gave him “respite in order that he might
increase in sin.” But like every culprit he thought that he was being kept in
office because he was so good in running the affairs of the Jamaat. But History
is witness that all those who overstay their term in power eventually are
kicked out whether they are secular or religious leaders. The 20th
century is witness to the calamitous end of many such dictators. See what has
recently happened to Ben Ali of Tunisia and what is most probably going to
happen to Mubarack of Egypt. These
days there is a very stinking odor of scandal that is slowly oozing out from the
Jamaat headquarters in Darus salaam Rose hill about the misdeeds of the amir.
Of course those who are close to him and who wish to keep him in power are
doing their best not with prayer and sadqaat but with their money to
prop him up. A good Ahmadi even if he has acted badly should for the sake of
the Jamaat vacate the office promptly especially when his misdeeds have been
confirmed. But he should not be the only one to go. Personally I think that all
those who have abetted his misdeeds should tender their resignations. The whole
Finance committee including the Secretary Maal should tender their resignations
because all of them have proved themselves to be undeserving of the trust that
has been placed in them. The Secretary Maal had the right to question and
disagree with the Amir. But since he has a wrong concept of obedience to the
amir, he failed miserably in his duties and in the interest of the Jamaat he
should accompany his master in following him out of office. So it should be
with each member of the Finance Committee and the auditors who knew what was
going on but who tolerated it in the name of their outdated ideas of their
obedience to their amir. All have to go. Their slavish obedience to their amir,
out of a totally wrong concept of Islamic obedience have made them accomplice
in all the evils that have been committed by the amir. They have been the
foremost group within the Jamaat who justified the evil social boycott put in
place by their caliph. Today all their evil actions are falling on their heads.
It is time for all of them to make amends and start asking for forgiveness
because if not they will be witnessing even worst days ahead. Members
of the Ahmadiyya Jamaat here and elsewhere have developed an inordinate fear
for khilafat and for nizaam Jamaat. But we have been telling them that this
fear is misplaced. You should only fear Allah and be truthful. Your fear of
Allah will embolden you and help you to talk to anyone without any fear. Your
fear of Allah will eliminate all fears from your heart and you will become a
really courageous Muslim. When my brother Mobashir said that the amir was not
speaking the truth in the Amila, there was a hue and cry in the Amila by the
amirwalas. The amir saw to it that he was excluded from the Amila and the
caliph blessed the decision of his loyal amir with his approval. All the
yes-men of the Amila applauded. Similarly with his mullah mentality he wrote a
really nasty letter against our brother Dr Mahmood so that the caliph might
exclude him from the Jamaat despite the fact that he worked selflessly for the
Jamaat as a professional for many years. I ask you to go and re-read my sermons
and see how many times I said that Allah has revealed to me “iqtaraba
linnaase hisaabahoum wa houm fi ghaflatin mou’rezoune” which we translate as
“nigh unto men is their reckoning but they turn away in negligence.” The amir
and his Amila thought that such days were quite far. But the time has already
come. Whatever the Ahmadis and their caliph thought that they would accomplish
through the amir in Mauritius has failed. Had the amir understood the real
value of Jamaat Ahmadiyya and the responsibility attached to his post, he would
have tendered his resignation before he is kicked out. In addition he would
spend the rest of his days in weeping and asking forgiveness for all the evil
that he has been committing while in office. He was trusted and he betrayed the
trust. Such a person according to a hadith is known as a hypocrite. Hence
hypocrisy is at the head in the Jamaat. Fishermen will tell you fish start
rotting from the head. Now
let me make this quite clear. Jamaat Ahmadiyya international has during the
course of its history known many instances where Jamaat’s money has been
misused. I will not go into details. But definitely, the qualms of Hazrat Masih
Maoodas about righteous people managing Jamaat’s money was
justified. He said: “I am not
worried how these funds will be collected, nor do I grieve how such a Jamaat
will be raised who, inspired by their faith, shall perform such heroic feats.
Rather I am worried that, after I am gone, those who will be entrusted with
these funds may not, seeing their abundance, stumble and fall in love with the
world. So I pray that such honest people may always be found by the Jamaat who
work for god alone. However it shall be lawful that those who have no means to
support themselves should be given something from these funds by way of
assistance.”(The Will page 28) His
words were prophetic. Those who have been administering Jamaat Funds have not
taken from the funds for their personal use (to the best of my knowledge), but
they have shown great negligence in safeguarding the funds. And such a duty of
care would not have come had they been morally prepared for this job. Today we see that in a desire to get more
money the fifth caliph made a drive to increase the number of Moosies.
Consequently Tom, Dick and Harry have been recruited in this scheme. But no one
ever asked whether these people were morally prepared to enter into this scheme
and were they qualified for it. Had they been we would not have seen what we
are seeing these days. Now
whether the caliph kicks the amir and his finance committee out or he pardons
them, to us it does not matter. In Jamaat Ahmadiyya there is abuse of authority
from top to bottom. Everyone wants to exercise power. Few are really interested
in service. I will be the last person to be surprised if tomorrow I hear that
the amir and those who are responsible along with him have been pardoned by the
caliph. The caliphal pardon is like the indulgence that Martin Luther denounced
within the Catholic Church although it is nowhere to be found in Islam. Anyhow
I am aware of what logistical gymnastics have been put in place in order that
the caliph might be aware of the letter that went from Mauritius. By the Grace
of Allah I am aware of many other confidential matters. I will monitor what
will happen in the coming days before I decide to write a booklet or to
denounce these matters on our website. Anyhow a rapid resignation or dismissal
of the amir will be in the interest of the Jamaat. But we have not yet finished
with all those who have committed evil under the cloak of religion. Just to
remind you what I said recently and how events are unfolding within the Jamaat
I quote from my Friday sermon of 3rd December 2010. This sermon may
be read at http://www.jaam-international.org/eng/fs/KJ_03122010_eng.html.
I said: “Some
three to four years back Allah once revealed to me with reference to Jamaat
Ahmadiyya in Mauritius “Tahsabohoum Jami’an wa qoloubohaoum shatta”. It
means “you think them to be united but their hearts are divided”. These we know
quite well how is going on inside. There is plenty of divisions and
disagreement. If there is one thing on which there is unity, it is not on Allah
but on the enmity that they have for members of Jamaat Ahmadiyya Al Mouslemeen.
Consequently last Saturday night Allah revealed to me “Sa yahzomoul jam’o wa
yowallounad dobour” which means “ “The
hosts shall soon be routed and will turn their backs in flight.” I
understand this to mean those who came together to fight us will soon be routed
and they will take to their heels. I say it again that I am not here to inflict
any kind of pain on anyone. But if you think that you can fight me then get
prepared do fight the one who has sent me. Your record for the past year alone
is very revealing how you are succeeding! I tell all those Ahmadis who think
that they know Ahmadiyyat and Islam to cross not swords but only pen with me
and witness their defeat. I will end with these verses from the poem
of Hazrat Masih Maoodas : Agar
tera bhi kouch din hai badl de jo mein kehta houn Ke
moujhe ko izzat auwr toum pé malamat anewali hai Translation: If
you also you have been given something, then change what I am saying: I
will be honoured and you will suffer defeat. May
Allah help our friends to understand before it is too late. Ameen”
More incha Allah ,next time. |
