Seeing death at close hand is not an experience that is common to many people. For soldiers who are fighting this may be a daily occurrence but they have been trained to face such a traumatic experience. Although they may see their friends die they have to fight because their own survival is at stake. Now just imagine how terrible was the experience of those Ahmadis who saw their close relatives die in front of them on that fateful day of 28^th May 2010 in the two Ahmadiyya Mosques in Lahore. Seeing only one person die in a brutal attack is quite traumatic. Once I witnessed an accident where someone died on the spot. Even now after almost 19 years I still remember the effects that witnessing such an event had on me. But to see either 50 or about thirty persons being brutally murdered in carnage in a mosque cannot be an easy experience that does not leave indelible scars on your person.

Up till now very few eye witness accounts of what really happened have been published. But according to what the Ahmadiyya caliph has said in his two previous sermons following these murders it appears that there were no sign of panic or disturbance among those Ahmadis who witnessed these cold blooded murders. I was not present over there but I have seen several pictures and video footage of these incidents on the net and I must say that I have seen several signs of panic and great distress on the face of those people who have witnessed these gory scenes. Video footage of the firing that was going on has been shown and the world has seen. Now we can just imagine what mayhem there were when grenades were detonated and the firing went on and on. Any normal person would have easily been affected by seeing such events. But from the way the caliph talks about these events it is as if all the Ahmadis present in these mosques were embodiment of courage and great patience in the face of death. Although I do not deny that some people preferred to die to save others and I did mention about those courageous Khuddam in my sermon of 4^th June 2010. I am sure most Ahmadis do not fear death  but what went on in the mosques on that date was not a walk in the park. Anyhow Allah knows best.

When in 2000 I went to talk with members of our Jamaat in Mauritius about the threat that the Jamaat might be subjected to from an extremist Muslim group, the Amir Jamaat of Mauritius was not happy at all with what I had said. He reported us to the then caliph Mirza Tahir Ahmad saying that he saw in our demeanor an attempt to create disorder (fitna) in the Jamaat. Consequently, relying on the report of his Amir the caliph expelled us from the Jamaat and said that we might go and create a Jamaat of our own if we wished. He even said that the Jamaat will be safe and if two go away millions were coming in. But since then we have stopped hearing about the millions and serious questions have been raised within the Jamaat itself about the number of converts. But representatives of the Ahmadiyya propaganda machine around the world keep parroting that there are two hundred million Ahmadis in the world which is of course a figure that cannot be substantiated at all. Anyhow this is another story.

It is true that in the meeting that I had with the representatives of the Jamaat on 24^th December 2000 I did suggest to them to tell members of the Jamaat to read two attributes of Allah that might give protection against any evil that were being plotted against us. But the Amir categorically refused although some persons were inclined to go along with me. Anyhow what happened afterwards is history.

Later on we were ridiculed because what was said did not happen. Ahmadis basked in the shadow of khilafat. But although what we said did not take place here in Mauritius but it happened elsewhere. We learn that in Mong, District Mandi Bahauddin, Punjab on October 7, 2005 three militants of the anti-Ahmadiyya lobby delivered a major attack on unsuspecting Ahmadi worshipers who were offering their morning prayers in their mosque at about 5:15 a.m. They arrived on a motor cycle and opened fire with automatic fire-arms. Faced with little resistance they did a gruesome job and departed having spilled great deal of blood in the holy month of Ramadan. Some people died on the spot while others died in the hospital. In all, eight worshippers were killed and twenty injured. The dead and the injured included men of all age groups, from boys to septuagenarians.  Similarly prior to the “warning” that I went to give the Jamaat in December 2000, it is reported that in October 2000 in Sialkot a group of anti-Ahmadi extremists sprayed bullets with automatic weapons on Ahmadi worshippers at their local mosque in Ghatialian (Khurd), District Sialkot. As a result, five Ahmadis died and six injured. And now we have had the attack of 28^th May in Lahore of which we have already spoken. It appears that these major attacks are five years apart.

Had the Ahmadiyya caliphs both the fourth and fifth ones heeded what they were being told most probably such tragedies might have been averted. But they were so convinced that they are the ones who know better what is good for the Jamaat. And they think that they have a divine mandate and they want the people to believe that. But several times I have proved from the writings of Hazrat Masih Maood^as that they lack the necessary knowledge as far as Khilafat is concerned.  Since 2007 I have been repeatedly warning the Jamaat about the bad consequences of ignoring the representatives of Allah. All my sermons are published and available on our website at www.jaam-international.org. If you have not read all I suggest you read my sermon for the month of October 2008. I have repeatedly said that Allah has revealed to me several times “Fa hal mim muddakir” which means “is there anyone to take heed?”. Similarly I have said that Allah has said to me several times “Wa maa kounna mo’azzabeena hatta nab’asa rasoula” which means “And we do not punish until we send a messenger”. Moreover I have to say that whenever I receive the revelation “fa hal mim muddakir” I have a fear in my heart lest a calamity falls on the Jamaat. Although Jamaat Ahmadiyya might think that they are doing only good deeds in the world, the truth is far from this perception. They have done several misdeeds and they think that they are practicing virtue. Since their leaders condone these despicable actions Allah has appointed for the Jamaat of Hazrat Masih Maood ^as another leader to whom he has revealed “ Yaa Qutub uddin unzur ila Jamaa’ati” meaning “ O you the Pole of Religion look after my Jamaat”. These days there is a great need for Jamaat Ahmadiyya to reform itself rather than trying to reform the world. There is a need to re-examine our history and see where we have faulted and where we have done well and how far we are loyal to the teachings of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad^as and how far we have deviated from them. There is a critical need to understand where the Jamaat has gone wrong. But such an exercise can only be done if we are true to ourselves and we are ready to examine ourselves critically. Without this self examination we will continue to drift as we have been doing for the past 45 years or so despite the apparent worldly progress that has been made. Jamaat Ahmadiyya has been established to help its members to prepare themselves for the afterlife. In order to achieve this noble purpose we have to do good in this life. But unfortunately, as I have been repeatedly saying up till now, the Jamaat as a whole is quite far from this objective up till now. In its dealings with its own members the Jamaat has shown an enmity and prejudice and backwardness reminiscent only of medieval Christians. And to add insult to injury such behaviour has been condoned by the highest authorities within the Jamaat. That is very sad indeed. When things go wrong the Jamaat has to re-examine its behaviour and should constantly ask itself as Hazrat Masih Maood ^as has told us in Kishti Nuh “Every morning should be a witness for you that you spent the night with righteousness and every evening should be a witness for you that you went through the day with the fear of Allah in your heart.”

In April or May 2008 I saw in a vision the figure 28 twinkling. Then I did not make much of that. But when I came to know about the events of 28^th May 2010 I associated it with what I saw. Last week Allah showed me another date and month. I cannot say for sure but I think that it has to do with another imminent tragedy in Pakistan or elsewhere. My hunch is confirmed by the revelations that I spoke about in my last sermon namely “ Iqtaraba linnaase hisaabahoum wa houm fi ghaflatin mo’rezoune : Fast approaching to men is the time of their reckoning and they turn away in negligence and –“Innas saa’até laateyatoune larayba fiha” meaning “The Hour will definitely come. There is no doubt about it”. The last revelation has been received again this week. In addition on Saturday last I received the following revelations

·         “Wastainou bis sabre was salaat innaha lakbiratoune illa alal khasheine , allaazina yazounnaouna annahoum molaqou rabbehim wa annhoum elayhe raje’oune”. This is translated as follows:“ And seek help with patience and Prayer; and this indeed is hard except for the humble in spirit ,Who know for certain that they will meet their Lord, and that to Him will they return.”

·         Wa maa yudrika la’allas saa’até qarib – What will make you know that the Hour is near and also “Those who do not believe want it to come quickly and those who believe are afraid of it.”

As I have just said I have been shown a day and a date. No one knows the future but Allah. But when Allah sends someone as “a mercy for mankind” and shows him something and the recipient has an idea about the purport of the message, should not the mainstream Jamaat take heed especially if it has shown negligence in the past? Now it is up to them. Should the caliph wish to know more about what I have to say he should personally contact me while there is still time.

Recently I read a reply to question by the late caliph Mirza Tahir Ahmad. Among other things he said that “An imam is a person appointed by Allah and not elected by men.” (Review of Religions, special issue, 1989). Now amongst the Muslims who could understand this notion better than the Ahmadis. The bulk of the Muslims do not agree that Allah can nominate anyone after the Holy Prophet Mohammad ^saw. But Hazrat Masih Maood^as came to teach us that the door to apostleship will remain open until the end of times. This is how he prophecized that there will be other people who would come after him in his Jamaat to guide the Jamaat. Once such a person declares that he comes from Allah, his claims have to be examined. If upon close critical examination we find the claims to be true we should accept them if we are true Ahmadis as defined by Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad^as. If on the other hand we find them to be false we should reject them. But we cannot remain indifferent and make as if nothing is happening and bury our head in the sand like the ostrich. An Ahmadi should be able to defend his view in the light of the Holy Quran. But he cannot stick to a view just because he received it as a heritage from his father or grandfather. How many times in his writings Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad^as has criticized the Muslims for such behaviour?

Since such conventional thinking had already taken root in Jamaat Ahmadiyya Allah intervenes to make the people know that what they thought might not be the truth. They are immediately put to trial and they have to try to understand to know clearly what to accept and what to reject. Allah cares for mankind more than a mother cares for her children. And if Allah asks someone to stand up and to rally the people around him, Allah does not do this to let these people go astray. He does this only as a Mercy for them. But it is quite unfortunate that the people do not think of it that way. He says in the Holy Quran “Yaa hasratan alal ebaad maa yatihim mir rasoulin illa kaanou behi yastahzeoune”which may be translated as follows“Alas for My servants, there comes not to them a messenger but they mock at him.” But for those who help Allah’s appointee Allah says “ Inni mo’inoune man arada I’anataka wa inni mohinoune man irada ihanataka”. This is what Allah has said to me also. It means “I will help he who desires to help you and I will humiliate he who desires your humiliation”. These were words that were revealed to Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad^as also. Thumb through the pages of history and see what happened.

Prior to the tragedy of 28^th May, several times I received “Fa hal mim muddakir” which means “Is there any one to heed?”. I understood it to mean that despite all that I have told them the Jamaat is “still turning away with arrogance”.
