Peace be upon you.
Peace be on you…Hazrat Khalifatul Messiah V (a.t.) said: These days circumstances of the world are deteriorating very rapidly. Grouping is taking place in Muslim places. The rulers and responsibles of their countries do not realize that anti-Islam forces are encircling them and that the oppressions on the name of Jihad has no remotest link with the teaching of Islam. Likewise the governments are oppressing their subjects, such regimes too have no remotest connection with true Islamic teaching. Rather they are working against Islamic teaching. Where is it written in Islam to kill innocents? Not only they are killing non-Muslims on the name of Islam, but more than that Muslims innocents (children, elderly, women and all included) are being massacred.
The power of Muslim countries is getting weaker and weaker and it is what anti-Islam forces want that Islamic governments should never become powerful and never gain strength economically and peace and security-wise.
One observes that rulers of Muslim states and their cherished scholars neither understand Islamic teaching nor they want to. They deny Imam sent by God the Exalted -- the Imam of this age, who was sent by Allah the Exalted in accordance of His promise and prophesies of Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) in this age to promulgate true teaching of Islam in this era.
As the result, what we see, real Islam which is the greatest flag bearer to establish justice and peace, and which tells Islamic governments that their foremost duty is to establish peace and justice, but these governments are shredding the very peace and justice. The tribulations and discord in each Muslim country and opportunists getting benefit from it, is because governments instead of working for betterment and goodness, they giving priority to their interests. It is being seen that Muslims are murdering Muslims. Rulers have lost forbearance. For example, surely the recent rebellion in Turkey is not justified by any means, but as the result of it, the steps taken by the government are oppressive. Action is being taken against even those political leaders who were not involved. In similar situations, reactions appears sooner or after some time. If oppression continues, reaction is sure, then anti-Islam forces instigate this reaction to get benefit, big powers sell weapons, and become sympathizer of both sides. Muslim rulers have seen what happened in Iraq, Libya, Syria etc but they do not understand. If they do not want to ponder at teaching of Holy Quran, and they do not want to live as practicing Muslims, then at least wisdom demands they should take steps with thinking. They should see who is beneficiary of anti-Muslims happenings and unrest in their countries. But they do not understand. Thus, these days, there is great need to do prayers for Muslim countries. May Allah the Exalted grant them wisdom.

Further, terrorist organization are continuing to defame Islam by doing heinous acts of murdering innocent lives. It is not far fetched that non-Muslim forces may be using these people to do atrocities in non-Muslim countries with twofold objectives; to defame Islam and to get a reason to establish bases in those countries in the guise to save world from terrorism.
If these terrorists are aware of true Islamic teaching, they must know that it is not Islamic teaching to massacre innocents women, children, elderly, sicks, passengers on airports and stations etc, to kill people and pastors in churches.
When Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) would send force in wars, they were instructed not to kill women, children, rabbis and pastors and not to hurt anyone who did not carry weopon or did not become part of war against Muslims in any way – far to murder.
Thus it is neither teaching of Holy Quran nor of Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) , nor it is proven through any action of his (sa) Rightly guided Khulafa and Companions (may Allah be pleased with them all).

Allah the Exalted has given the name Islam to our Deen (way, faith) and this very name rejects terrorism, repression and violence, and gives message of peace, conciliation and tranquility. The meaning of Islam is to live with peace and to give peace. ……..The oppressors do not believe and practice Holy Quran, do not offer Salaat. Effectively, they have made a new Deen……Anyways, when a true Muslim believes this true teaching, seeks peace and offers Salaat then he avoids mischief, showiness, debauchery and immorality.
Allah the Exalted says: “……Prayer restrains one from indecency and manifest evil……” (29:46)

Islam says spread Salam and spread Peace.. To say Salam is not limited to Muslims. Under the influence of clergies, a country’s law has been monopolized that Salam can not be said except to Muslims…In the time of Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) Salam was said to everyone.

These are some merits of Islam mentioned in short are to establish peace. If one goes into detail, see through any way, take any directive, Islam is religion of peace, conciliation and tranquility, not of terrorism. Islam can only be conveyed in world through its beautiful teaching not by extremists and by self-made teachings of clergies. The true path can be shown only by the one who has been sent by Allah the Exalted as Imam of the age. Justice can be established by him who is sent by Allah the Exalted to establish it as Hakam and Adl (Arbitrator and Judge). Only he can implement the beautiful teaching of Islam, who is inducted by Allah the Exalted. We Ahmadis are fortunate we have accepted the Imam of age, The Promised Messiah, The Covenanted Mahdi (a.s.) and are safe from involvement in oppressions by world.
Hazrat Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) said:
“ Islam has made two parts of its teaching. First, rights of Allah and second, rights of people. The right of Allah is that one should consider it essential to obey Him. And right of people is that they should show sympathy to creation of God the Exalted. It is not good way to afflict someone just due to religious opposition. Sympathy and (good) conduct is one thing and religious opposition is another. That group of Muslims which is stricken with mistake and misunderstanding of [wrong perception of] Jihad, they have made it permitted that it is right to take wealth of infidels illegally……For myself too, these people have issued Fatwa (decree) to loot their wealth [this Fatwa of non-Ahmadi scholars against Ahmadis exists till today], Fatwa is upto extent that take their wives. In fact impure teachings of this kind were not present in Islam. It was an immaculate and purified religion. We can give example of Islam as a father wants his rights of fatherhood. Likewise he wants there should be sympathy in offspirngs for each other, he does not want one should hurt other. Islam, whereas, wants there should be no associate of God the Exalted, there it purports there should be love and unity in humankind.”
Thus, it is the teaching, by owning which, the Muslims can again establish grandeur of Islam in world that they should recognize right of God and right of each other. They should make effort to develop affection and love among humankind regardless who belongs to which religion. Instead of using oppression and murdering innocents, bring them to the feet of God the Exalted and His Messenger (i.e to accept them) by “wounding” hearts with the “sword” of peace, conciliation and tranquility of Islam. Instead of earning displeasure of Allah the Exalted by suicide attacks and oppression, make effort to get His love and nearness. Come to embrace of Islam, the shadow of fatherly affection and mercy. Do not provide more opportunity to objection-raisers and attackers on Islam by own oppressive deeds. If they do not stop, then remember they can never spread Islam in the world by worldly gimmicks and attacks. We Ahmadis too should remember each attack which these astray people do on the name of Islam, it should draw our attention more than before to fulfill our responsibilities. After each such act, by which name of Islam is defamed, each of us have to tell the world: The base of my religion is on peace and security. If any follower of Islam does such act which destroy peace and security, it is personal and benefit-seeking act of that person and group, this act has no link with teaching of Islam. It is absolutely illicit. Its responsibility is on those who do it, but neither on Islam nor on Islamic teaching.
