Truth of the Promised Messiah(As) Truth of the Promised Messiah(as) Ref: Friday Sermon 12.12.14 Ahmadiyya Jama‘ at The Ahmadiyya Jama‘ at is a representation of True Islam - which means ‘Peace and surrender to the will of Allah’ We believe, like all other Muslims, in the Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (saw). However we are distinguished from other Muslims because we accepted Hazrat Ahmad (as), the founder of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. He claimed to be that Promised One who was awaited throughout the world, in various faiths. Ahmadiyyat is Islam in its pristine purity, and not a new religion. It is the Renaissance of Islam in the Latter Days. The Promised Messiah Founder of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) 1835-1908 Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) was born in 1835 in Qadian, a small village situated in the district of Punjab in India. The Promised Messiah Above: Day view of Qadian Left: Some Companions of the Promised Messiah Truth of the Promised Messiah (as) A few incidents in the life of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) as explained by Hazrat Musleh Maud (may Allah be pleased with him) highlighting various perspectives of the blessed life of the Promised Messiah will be presented: The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) repeatedly asked the Sikhs, Hindus and Muslims of his time if they could raise any objection on his past life. Indeed everyone was witness to his past life being pure or at least no one could raise objection about it. Even a fierce opponent like Maulawi Muhammad Hussain Batalvi had testified to the Promised Messiah’s purity in his magazine and others said that he was pious. How could a person who had been pure for forty years become foul overnight? Expert psychologists opine that moral ills seep in gradually and moral deterioration does not take place all of a sudden. Truth of the Promised Messiah(as) God states: ‘Most surely We help Our Messengers…’ (40:52). Hazrat Musleh Maud (may Allah be pleased with him) says that all sorts of efforts were made to kill the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace). False court cases were filed against him one of them was a false case of attempted murder of Martyn Clark. The magistrate of this case was determined that he would get the person who had claimed to be the Messiah and who no one else had been able to get. Ultimately, the very same magistrate ended up repeatedly saying that the court case was false and the entire case was dismissed. Hazrat Musleh Maud (may Allah be pleased with him) said he had experienced the time when the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) was socially boycotted and when people derided and stoned him. He said 55% of the people sitting in front of him were those who had once opposed but had later joined the Jama’at. He said after Hazrat Khalifatul Masih I (may Allah be pleased with him) a furore was raised in the Jama’at, but what became of those people! They were contemptuous and said they would not be slaves of a mere child. But God put so much awe of the mere child in their hearts that they fled Qadian and did not return. They had boasted that 98% of Jama’at was with them and only 2% was with Khilafat. But now even 2% does not remain with them and more than 98% is with Khilafat. Captain Douglas: Various incidents were related, one of which was the incident of Captain Douglas. This was related in detail during the Friday Sermon. (Available on: https://www.alislam.org/friday-sermon/2014-12-12.html) This sequence of signs continues to this day. The aforementioned incident took place more than a hundred years ago. The sign is now appearing again in that a maternal grandson of Captain Douglas has sent a message that he wishes to take Bai’at. He wonders what good his maternal grandfather did that has intensely inspired him today. We have of course heard the story of the great grandson of Dr Martyn Clark who openly said that his great grandfather was in the wrong and the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) was truthful..

There are decisive verses to that effect. Being the last Prophet in the chain of prophethood no one ever shall now succeed him to that status or dignity "Muhammad is not the father of any man among you, but he is the Messenger of Allah and the Seal of the Prophets; and Allah (SWT) is Aware of all things." (Quran. AI-Ahzab 33:40). INTERPRETATION OF THE HOLY QURAN All the interpreters of the Holy Quran agree on the meaning of 'Khatam-un-Nabieen' that our Prophet (SAW) was the last of all the prophets and none shall he exalted to the lofty position of prophethood after him.

  • Mr Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen I Deem It an Honour to Be Addressing the Jalsa Salana on a Subject That Will Give a Glimpse In
    Mr Chairman, ladies and gentlemen I deem it an honour to be addressing the Jalsa Salana on a subject that will give a glimpse into the pure character of the Imam of this age. A life modelled on the example of his master the Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw). The translation of the 9th verse of Sura Maidah that I recited is; ‘O ye who believe! Be steadfast in the cause of Allah, bearing witness in equity and let not a peoples’ enmity incite you to act otherwise than with justice. Be always just, that is nearer to righteousness. And fear Allah. Surely Allah is well aware of what you do.’ The other is from sura Yasin verse 31; ‘Alas for My servants! There comes not a Messenger but they mock at him’. History bears witness that this indeed forms part of the life of every Messenger of God The Holy Prophet (saw), was known as Al Ameen by the Meccans but as soon as he made his claim, he was met with ridicule and persecution from those very same people. The Promised Messiah (as) , prior to his claim was championed as the saviour of Islam, but no sooner under Divine command had he made his claim that he too faced bitter opposition. He always displayed patience, sympathy and kindness to those who opposed him, this is the subject I must speak on today. Today we live in a world filled with hate, violence and rancour. The incidents of the Promised Messiah (as) kindness even to his opponents are a lesson for humanity.

  • Islam, Shari'ah Courts, Islamisation and the Far-Right
    Islam, Shari’ah Courts, Islamisation and the Far-Right Rashad Ali The controversy sparked off by the Dutch MP Geert Wilders [1] being denied entry to the UK (he boarded a plane and landed in Heathrow only to be sent back), may have generated more publicity for his film, and therefore for his anti- Islam message, than Wilders could have hoped. It has also, arguably, fuelled the propaganda of those on the far-right who say that Muslims are succeeding in their campaign to give Islam a privileged position within British Society. They contrast Wilders’ exclusion to those extremist Islamists [2] who have long found in Britain a home. [3] Anti-Islam and anti-Muslim sentiments have been expressed in various influential quarters across Europe. Extreme factions on the right who hold such views have been gaining much influence in the last few years. In one debate involving the Danish immigration minister and another MP, they decided, for the sake of brevity, that it would just be easier to describe themselves as ‘anti-Muslim.’ [4] Wilders wrote that ‘The core of the problem is fascistic Islam, the sick ideology of Allah and Mohammed as it is set out in the Islamic Mein Kampf: the Koran’ and ‘I have had enough of Islam in Holland: Not one more Muslim immigrant should be let in. I have had enough of the reverence for Allah and Mohammed in the Netherlands: There should not be even one more mosque. I have had enough of the Koran in the Netherlands. Ban that wretched book.’ [5] The rise of an anti-Islamic right across Europe, and recent debates surrounding the incorporation of Shari’ah and Shari’ah ‘courts’ [6] into European legal systems, are not unrelated phenomena.

  • The Criminals of Islam
    THE CRIMINALS OF ISLAM By Shabbir Ahmed, M.D. Florida, Oct 2007 Sixth revised reprint since 1999 ISBN 0974787922 NO COPYRIGHTS: Anyone can reprint, make copies or translate this book without making any changes. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR CHILDREN AND THE WEAK-HEARTED INTRODUCTION September 1999- October 2007 The Criminals of Islam is probably the most challenging book you will ever read. It took courage to write this book and it will take courage to read it. It will give you an extraordinary stimulus to think and reflect. Our inherited beliefs are idols deeply rooted in our psyche and emotions. The breaking of these idols is no less a calamity than breaking the stone idols of an idol worshiper. Therefore, this book is recommended only for the open-minded reader with considerable moral courage. This book will clearly show the unbelievable absurdities, lewdness, shamelessness, forgery, and malice of some ‘great’, famous and widely revered Muslim scholars, Imams and Ulema. Sheikh Sa’adi Sheerazi voiced a sound scholastic principle, “Exposing wrongdoing is not wrongdoing in itself.” [Adapted from Persian – blasphemy replaced with wrongdoing since Dr. Shabbir has very cautious reservations about using the term ‘blasphemy’]. Criticizing the revered historical figures may sound slanderous. However, the ground of scholarship by its very nature is open for critique, and I have allowed the figures in question to speak for themselves through their own writings. Some readers might wonder which sect the author of this work belongs to. The answer is, “None!” The Quran has named all believers as nothing but Muslim. Please remember the Quranic ordinance that whoever chooses for himself a sect in Islam, the exalted Prophet will have nothing to do with him (6:159-160).

  • Noble Writings of the Promised Messiah (As) Regarding the Spread of True Knowledge in the Latter Days, the Holy Quran States
    Noble Writings of The Promised Messiah (as) Regarding the spread of true knowledge in the latter days, the Holy Quran states: “And when the books are spread abroad” Surah Al-Takwir, verse 11 A hadith of the Holy Prophet (sa) is helpful in interpreting the above verse. He (sa) is reported to have said that when ‘Isa, the son of Mary, will come, there will be an abundance of wealth, and this wealth will flow so abundantly that nobody will accept it.’ (See Bukhari, Kitabul Anbiya’ babu nuzule ‘isabne Maryam). Regarding his writings, the Promised Messiah(as) writes in Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya: “The treasures that laid buried for more than a thousand years; are now being distributed by me to the one who is ready to accept them.” (Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya, Vol.5, page 117) Historical Context for His Time of Writing • Orthodox Hindu societies were making inroads among Muslims by maligning the fair face of the Holy Prophet (sa) and degrading the teachings of Islam. • Christian missionaries were proselytising, Bible Societies were set up. • In forty years preceding the writing of his first book, 2.9 million Indians had converted to Christianity. • Hundreds of publications attacked Islam and the noble personage of the Holy Prophetsa. Historical Context for His Time of Writing • Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmadas of Qadian single-handedly embarked upon defending Islam. • Wrote 91 books in Urdu, Arabic and Persian which have since been translated into over 100 languages. • He wrote over a span of 28 years. • His first book, Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya, was published in 1880.

  • Truth of the Promised Messiah (A.S.)
    Truth of The Promised Messiah (a.s.) Sermon Delivered by Hadhrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad (aba); relayed live all across the Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim globe Community 12TH December 2014 NOTE: Al Islam Team takes full responsibility for any errors or miscommunication in this Synopsis of the Friday Sermon Truth of The Promised Messiah (a.s.) Summary In today’s Friday sermon, Huzoor ( aba) quoted a few incidences explained by Hazrat Musleh Maud (may Allah be pleased with him) highlighting various perspectives of the blessed life of the Promised Messiah. The life of the Promised Messiah ( on whom be peace) prior to his claim of being a prophet was pure and pious; a powerful proof of his truthfulness. Against all sorts of trials and tribulations, Allah demonstrated His resounding support for Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian, the Promised Messiah ( on whom be peace). God showed His powerful sign even today that progeny of those who attempted to annihilate Ahmadiyyat are accepting the truthfulness of the Promised Messiah ( on whom be peace). Friday Sermon 12TH December 2014 Signs of In Surah Yunus God has stated a principle to assess the truthfulness of truthfulness of His Prophets: ‘…I have indeed lived among you the Promised a whole lifetime before this. Will you not then understand?’ Messiah (as) (10:17) The Philosophy behind this principle is that moral deterioration is a Pious and Pure past life gradual progress; this is not a sudden event. It is extremely improbable for someone to lead a truthful and pious God’s Help and life for forty years and then suddenly start inventing lies about God Protection overnight.
