Friday Sermon of | After
reciting the Tashahhud, the Ta’uz and the first chapter of Al Fatiha Imam Zafrullah Domun read verse
136 of chapter Al Nisa(4) of the Holy Quran. O ye who believe! be strict
in observing justice, and be witnesses for Allah, even though it be against yourselves or against parents and kindred. Whether
he be rich or poor, Allah is more regardful of them both than you are. Therefore follow not low
desires so that you may be able to act equitably. And if you conceal the truth or evade it, then remember that Allah is well aware of what
you do. (4:136) This verse of the Holy Quran
gives all of us a clear message, namely that we should observe justice under
all circumstances. Furthermore if we are aware of something we should come
forward to divulge it and we should be witnesses for Allah. A Muslim should
accept to be a witness against his own parents or relatives so that Justice
should prevail. In giving true testimony one should not care whether one’s
statement is against one’s own self or one’s relatives. One should speak the
truth under all circumstances. Allah advises us not to follow our low desires
or else we will not act equitably. In the end Allah reminds us that Allah knows
the truth even if we conceal it or evade it. This is one of the verses of
the Holy Quran where Allah tells us Muslims to observe Justice under all
circumstances. There are some other such verses. Most Ahmadis will tell you
that they are the ones to teach the world about absolute Justice. We are all well
aware how many times we heard the words “absolute justice” being pronounced by
the fourth caliph Mirza Tahir Ahmad. We know that in his speech of 25th
February this year, the fifth caliph said that “Recently a Bengali
professor sahib came to see him and posed the question that if Ahmadis were to
be in the majority, what was the guarantee that they would not oppress others.
Hudhur told him that a majority that is borne out of winning hearts and minds
that gives a message of love, indeed spreads love, which keeps Taqwa and God’s pleasure in view
cooperates in virtuous matters as well as takes cooperation in virtuous
matters. The system of rightly-guided Khilafat is based on giving rights to
people not appropriating their rights. Due to human failing, wrong decisions
can be made, but if there is Taqwa, things are put right. (http://www.alislam.org/friday-sermon/index2.php?d=2011-02-25). So we see that the Jamaat
continues to speak about Justice and it says that since it will put into
practice the precepts of Islam there would be no problem at all in observing
the rights of each individual. In other words the caliph wants the world to
believe that it is the Jamaat that will usher in the era of true justice in the
world. But as I have said previously in one of my sermons the caliph has been
unable to dispense justice within his Jamaat itself. Now how can we expect that
it will be able to dispense such justice to the world. This is a dream in which
the caliph lives and out of which he has not yet woken up. To begin with Jamaat
Ahmadiyya is not equipped to administer justice. Its amir exercises enormous
power and reduces its followers to mere puppets. Recently as you are well aware
the mainstream Jamaat in Mauritius was rocked by financial scandals in which
the amir was involved. Some persons in the Jamaat in Mauritius thought that the
caliph will put his foot forward and sanction the amir for what he has done in
connivance with some of his close collaborators. To begin with the amir was not
even suspended and he continued to have access to all files at the office.
Somebody was sent from the centre to enquire. He stayed in Mauritius for more
than 15 days and eventually he went back and submitted his report to the
caliph. The latest news is that the amir will stay where he is. Where is
justice? The caliph says khilafat Ahmadiyya will give to each one his rights.
Here it is common knowledge that what the amir has done should not only have
been condemned by the caliph but he should have been removed and advised to
devote the rest of his life to make amends for his gross misbehavior. But the
caliph has done nothing. That is why we say that Khilafat Ahmadiyya in its
present form is corrupted and it will never be able to administer justice in
the world. The caliph speaks about the fear of God that will underlie all
decisions. Where is it today within Jamaat Ahmadiyya that one could have
expected that tomorrow it could be exported around the world? Those people in Mauritius
who expected justice from their caliph have been deceived. It appears that dark
forces have outmaneuvered them proving that one cannot have faith in this
system. The caliph speaks about corruption engulfing the world. Corruption has
in fact made its way within Jamaat Ahmadiyya where it should never have been
able to do so had the Jamaat stayed on the path of righteousness. But it has
strayed and that is why amirs can act with impunity the way the amir of
Mauritius has acted. During the days when the investigator
from London was here I saw a dream and I even told my friends about it. I saw
that there was an Asiatic toilet. All of a sudden I saw that a ceramic tile has
covered the whole area of the toilet. Since then I had a strong presumption
that the caliph will gloss over all the misdeeds of the Mauritian amir. Hence
what the caliph talks about and what he does are two different things. Recently
I heard that people say that the Mauritian amir has powerful friends in London.
But to me it is the caliph that has to be blamed. In the extract quoted above
he said that there may be bad decisions but they will be corrected if there is
fear of God (taqwa) in the heart. As caliph it is his responsibility to
administer justice within the Jamaat. But as I said several times quoting Habib
Jalib “Yeh munsif bhi to qaidi hay, hamein insaaf kia dengeh”. That is
to say “this judge also is a prisoner how he will be able to dispense justice!”
the caliph is a prisoner of the system. He ignores the true teachings of Hazrat
Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as. He is a prisoner of the oath that he took
when he became caliph. He does not know what to do. So he has to swallow the
bitter pill of keeping his loyal amir in place so that others may not say that
they were right in decrying this man. This is the Jamaat that is telling the
Arab world that it will give them their rights. Personally I think that had
Jamaat Ahmadiyya run the government in any country it would have been as bad as
these dictators if not worse. We have seen them in action and we know that they
cannot be trusted. Today in the Mauritian
Jamaat there is a malaise. Had there been real taqwa being practiced the amir
would have vacated his place willingly. Even if he can fool all those who are
in London he and his entourage know quite well what wrongs he has done. In the
name of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad and his teachings he should have vacated his seat
immediately. A caliph who lacks the necessary insight to see how his inaction
has harmed the Jamaat in Mauritius disqualifies himself as a dispenser of
Justice. Did Hazrat Masih Maoodas come to teach the world to apply
this kind of injustice? These days Jamaat Ahmadiyya is drowning in the
injustice from which it tells others that it can save them. Some people disagree with
me because I have been saying that khilafat Ahmadiyya is unable to solve
Jamaat’s problems or to lead it to a higher level of spiritual and material
development. But to them most probably Allah has wished to make them taste the
bitter pills of injustice that are constantly being dispensed from Khilafat Ahmadiyya,
so that they might know exactly what this system is. But will they dare to say
that they have learnt the hard way that what we said about Khilafat Ahmadiyya
is true. Previously we said that the amir was not good and they came to his
rescue to protect him because he appeared weak. But when they came to know
about his true colors and they met with his skilled machiavellic maneuverings
they have come to know how corrupt this system is! But had these people been
sincere in their attempt to preserve the teachings they would have tried with
open mind to understand what we have been saying. But since they are
prejudiced, biased and puffed up with an importance that they do not have they
vent their anger on us through other means. Members of the Jamaat in
Mauritius have to realize and accept the fact that all their attempts to pin
down their amir has failed despite the fact that the whole Jamaat knows that he
has committed wrongs. The leadership of the Jamaat has to realize that all
their attempts to persuade their people to send me their circular letter has
miserably failed. I have challenged them since more than three weeks to adopt
the method of Hazrat Masih Maood as to solve our religious
differences, but they have preferred to maintain the stony silence. We are in
the field and we are waiting for them to send their “A” team. But we know that
they will never be able to confront us. From time to time someone may send a
letter or an email but since they do not represent Jamaat Ahmadiyya I will not
deal with them individually. I advise them to offer their help to the amir or the
caliph and let them announce that they have been given a mandate to speak for
their Jamaat. Then you will see that they will have to bow their head in shame
when I will tell them what exactly Hazrat Masih Maoodas has preached
and what the Jamaat has practiced. They will be astonished to see the
discrepancy. But they will understand this only if they are motivated to
understand the truth. But if they are more eager to display their hatred, anger
and prejudice then they will not profit at all by any kind of discussion or
dialogue. Hazrat Masih has told us that dialogue is important to know the
truth. We need to heed his advice. Hazrat Masih Maoodas
said “jab khoul gayi sachaai, phir ouss ko maan lena neikom ki hai ye
khaslat aabe baqa yehi hai”. Its translation is “when truth is evident, you
accept it. This is a quality of those who do good. This is the water of
permanence.” If someone is trying to get to truth he accepts it wherever it
comes from. Has not the Prophet (saw) told us that “a word of wisdom is the lost property
of the Muslim. He takes it wherever he finds it.”? So if you see some truth in
what I am saying you should accept it and not continue in your animosity. We
said that the caliph cannot dispense any kind of justice. You have seen this
happening right now. We said that the words of the circular letter will not go
far. Only five persons responded, four from the amir’s relatives and one
outsider. We said that no one would dare to discuss openly with us. Allah said
“Wa antal Aa’la” meaning “and you will have the upper hand”. These words
of Allah have been proved true as usual. Up till now no one has come forward. I have already posted the
booklet I spoke about in my previous sermons on our website. It may be dowloaded
from here http://www.jaam-international.org/kre/docs/Replique.pdf.
It
is in Creole language. But I have already discussed its contents in my English sermons. In the end I would like to say something about the recent cataclysm in Japan. On 8th March when I had slept for about an hour at night I was woken up with the following words: “Yawma yatazakkaroul insaana fa anna lahouz zikra”. By the Grace of Allah I understood its meaning clearly. These words are part of verse 24 of chapter 89 of the Holy Quran. They mean “on that day man will remember, but of what avail shall be his remembrance?” I immediately understood that this was the announcement of a really big catastrophe. I felt some fear in my heart and I started praying that Allah may avert any impending catastrophe on Mauritius. I woke my wife up and told her what I have just received and I told her that I was afraid and that this is the first time that I have received some revelations that provoked a feeling of fear in me. While I was engaged in reciting some prayers I received in Urdu” O ye who live on islands you are not safe”. These were of course the prophetic words of Hazrat Masih Maood as in Haqiqatul Wahi. Anyhow if you go and read chapter 89 you will see how Allah speaks about days when the earth will tremble and hell will be brought near. These will be days of punishment and men will start remembering but his remembrance will be of no use at all. So these days we should engage ourselves more in prayer and ask Allah to avert any impending calamity on us. By the way recently some experts have said that what happened in Japan on 11th March 2011 is the catastrophe that has cost the highest in monetary terms. They are putting the cost at more than $300 billion. |
