Jamaat Ahmadiyya al Mouslemeen FRIDAY SERMON of Hazrat Amirul Momeneen Zafrullah Domun 11 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: In Jamaat Ahmadiyya literature we often quote hadiths predicting
the evil characteristics of the Ulemas who will come after the departure of the
Holy Prophet Mohammad saw. One such hadith is as follows: “The
Apostle of God said: `There will come a time for my people when there will
remain nothing of the Qur'an except its outward form and nothing of Islam except
its name and they will call themselves by this name even though they are the
people furthest from it. The mosques will be full of people but they will be
empty of right guidance. The religious leaders (Fuqaha) of that day will be the
most evil religious leaders under the heavens; sedition and dissension will go
out from them and to them will it return.' " Now
the question is do we have Ulema in Jamaat Ahmadiyya these days. I mean do we
have ulemas who are depicted in the verse of the Holy Quran “Innama
yakhshallaho min ebaadehil olamaa.” The translation of this verse is
“Surely only those of His Servants who have knowledge who fear Allah”. The
reply would be that yes there are some people who may have claims to this
title. I am not going to mention these people here because I have something of
more importance to tell you about. The factory where these so called Ulema are
made is Jamia Ahmadiyya. For some time there were only three such institutions
in Rabwah, Qadian and Ghana. Recently new ones have been created in Canada,
England and Germany. In these institutions Ahmadi young men undergo training to
become missionaries. In these
institutions the students are taught the Holy Quran, some hadiths, some kalam
and above all Ahmadiyya doctrines. Most of these missionaries work in their own
countries, after the completion of their studies. The privileged ones are sent
abroad. So
all those missionaries who have been posted to Mauritius since the beginning of
1950 are so to say among the privileged ones. Those who came to Mauritius
before 1950 were pious people motivated by a strong desire to spread the truth
of Ahmadiyyat around the world. Those who came afterwards were of another
breed. But incha Allah some other time I will speak about them. How many amongst
them did really display in their persons the moral qualities that should
characterize an Ahmadi is open to question. When we study the history of that
period we see that these missionaries always intended that they should be the
leader of the Jamaat over here. In their wildest dreams they could not bear to
hear that they would take orders from a local Ahmadi. This was the root of the
dark period in which most Mauritian Ahmadis lived from 1950 to around 1965.
Things eased up a bit after that but in 1985 there came another missionary here
who wanted to teach the Mauritians a real lesson in obedience to the amir and
to the establishment. He started taking initiatives. He wanted to reduce Tarawih
prayers so that people might listen to his Dars for a longer period of
time. He did not care for the opinion of the Majlis Amila although at that time
the fourth caliph kept giving missionaries advice on how they should go about in
their countries of posting. So as it had to happen the missionary and I had a
heated discussion after one of the prayers and I did not hesitate to give a
piece of my mind. I was reported to the amir and the latter sent me a
threatening letter to present my apologies or I would be reported to the
caliph. I ignored the threat from the amir and presented my case to the caliph
directly. Fortunately for us the caliph paid a visit to Mauritius in 1988 and one
member of the Amila courageously told the caliph what the Maulana had said
about the Majlis Amila. Immediately the missionary in charge was demoted with
humiliation in front of all those present. As far as I can remember he stayed
in his house for more than 24 hours and when he emerged one could easily see
how much he had been weeping. After some time when I was elected and appointed
Amir, he had to work under me. That was a really unbearable humiliation for
him. Now
you may ask why I am talking about these matters today. The fact is that in
1988, Allah had given me clear signs through revelations and dreams of what was
in store for those who tried to harm me and those who were dear to me. The
words of Hazrat Masih Maoodas was fulfilled once more when he said
of an enemy “ Khoda rouswa karega toum ko, mein I’zaaz pa’ounga” which
we translate as “ Allah will humiliate you and I will be honoured”. The
actual amir Jamaat in Mauritius also will incha Allah reap in full measure what
he had been sowing for the past ten years. As I said last week whether the
caliph takes any sanction or forgives his amir, to us it does not matter. The
amir has already been humiliated by those people who were here to support him.
His reputation within the community is at its lowest level and yet he does not
have the decency to leave office. The
role that has been played by the missionary in charge to put the amir in the
corner that he is in now is well known throughout the Jamaat. The role played
by a close ex-friend of the amir is also quite well known within the Jamaat.
How the Jamaat will deal with these Cassius and Brutus, we will know soon. This
missionary in his own subtle underhand dealings is trying to fight me through
others. I want him also to know that what Allah showed me for that missionary
in 1988 has been shown to me again. And this time to apply to him and to all of his supporters. So he better
beware. Our
poor Mauritian Ahmadis have had to suffer the humiliation of a foreigner coming
to Mauritius to report about the supposed misdeeds of the amir. Had they listened
to what Allah had told them they would not have been humiliated in the way that
they are being humiliated these days. Mauritian law does not recognize any
foreigner messing his nose in the internal affairs of an association in
Mauritius. But our Ahmadi brothers and sisters do not like the independence
that Allah was giving them. They prefer servitude and like to savour the
mentality of those who are colonized. Allah out of His Grace wanted to give
them a leader of their own. But they ignored Allah and said they prefer a
foreigner as their leader. And today contrary to all their expectations they
are seeing themselves entangled in a situation out of which they will never
come out unharmed. The fact that an enquiry is being made into the finances of
the Jamaat with special reference to the actions of the amir is a humiliation
that will go down in history just like what happened in 1988. The
missionary in charge in Mauritius is a foreigner. Any action that he does that
may disturb the peace of the land will not be tolerated by the Mauritian
authorities. In a second he may become an undesirable person over here.
Personally I would like him to stay here for some more time because the game
that he has started with me is not over yet. It is just starting. He will have
to go in another way. Remember what Allah said to this humble servant of his
Messiah “I will humiliate he who tries to humiliate you!” As
I have said several times before Allah has raised me as an Imam for the people especially
for the righteous. Recently I received an email from an Ahmadi in Canada. He
says that he has read the writings of Hazrat Masih Maoodas. So when
he compares these writings to what he has read me saying he finds my claim
reasonable. This is what we have been saying since the beginning. Someone who
knows what the Promised Messiahas has said in his writings will
easily understand that Allah will continue to send His Chosen Ones to guide
others. Once Allah has decided, He does what He likes and no theology of ours
can stand in His way. If we were righteous we would have understood that this
theology of ours about the importance of khilafat in Jamaat Ahmadiyya is as
pernicious as the idea that Jesus is God in Christianity. But since the Jamaat
including most of its missionaries only profess righteousness but they do not
practice it, they have difficulty in unlocking the knots that are on their
hearts. Hence they start behaving like the blind and deaf that are mentioned in
the Holy Quran. In
Jamaat Ahmadiyya Tabshir has a big say in many decisions. Although you might
think that the caliph is the Supreme Head, yet he relies upon Tabshir to run
the Jamaat. Tabshir is a clique like the Civil Service in any country. If you
do not know the power of the civil service within a country just watch the
serial “Yes Prime Minister”. You will then easily understand that a country
cannot reform itself easily because those who are at the head of the Civil
service are always interested in maintaining their power and privileges.
Serving the people is a secondary concern. What is most important is to serve
oneself. So under the cloak of religion Tabshir apparently looks after the
interests of the Jamaat, but most often they try to preserve their own
interests. Hence you will see that they can easily choose what to present in
front of the caliph and what not to. The amir Jamaat in Mauritius has quite a
number of friends within Tabshir. Hence all reports that went against him were
to all intents and purposes not presented to the caliph. It is well known
within the Jamaat in Mauritius that many people have written against the amir,
but their writings were not taken into consideration. I have come to learn from
reliable sources that this time another way was devised so that the caliph may
be aware of the irregularities committed by the amir. Anyhow what is good is
that this time the firewall presented by Tabshir has been broken and the caliph
has been made aware of what has been going on in Mauritius. It is true that
Allah revealed to Hazrat Masih Maoodas that “Freemasons will not
overpower the Jamaat”. But do not these people in Tabshir try to control the
Jamaat like the Freemasons control many institutions around the world? But
Allah will not allow them to do so. They plan but Allah is the Best of
Planners. All these guys from Tabshir need to be replaced because they do not
always act in the best interests of the Jamaat. In
the end I would like to say that it is with sadness that we have learnt that
three young Ahmadis from Indonesia have been killed and six others have been
severely injured in a scuffle between Ahmadis and non Ahmadis over there. This
incident took place last weekend. A mob of about 1500 unruly bigoted so called
Muslims attacked about 30 Ahmadis in a village. The police was there but they
did not do much to defend the Ahmadis. This is another unfortunate incident
where Ahmadis have lost their lives. We pray that Allah gives patience and
fortitude to all the members of the bereaved families. We also beseech Allah to
open the so-called Muslims heart so that they might understand the real
teachings of Islam and that they do not fall into that category of people
mentioned in the hadith I quoted in the beginning. May Allah have mercy on all
of us so that we understand the true path of righteousness and that we strive
to tread it incha Allah. Ameen. |
