Islam teaches Practice on Justice. It is Vital for Peaceful Renaissance of Faith. Pray to Avert War.

DawudTalut

Peace be upon you.
Peace be on you. Allah says in Holy Quran: ‘O ye who believe! be strict in observing justice, (and be) witness 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.’ (Surah Al Nisa, Chapter 4, Verse 136)

‘O ye who believe! be steadfast in the cause of Allah, bearing witness in equity; and let not a people’s enmity incite you to act otherwise than with justice. Be (always) just, that is nearer to righteousness. And fear Allah. Surely, Allah is aware of what you do.’ (Surah Al Ma’idah, Chapter 5, Verse 9)

‘Allah has promised those who believe and do good deeds that they shall have forgiveness and a great reward.’ (Surah Al Ma’idah, Chapter 5, Verse 10)

FALSE CHAIN OF FALSE ALLEGATION
Opponents of Islam alleges that Islam is religion of extremism. They allege that this relgion produce malice for non Muslims in hearts. Each act of violence by (so called) Muslims or Jihadi organizations or by others is attributed to Islam. Then the holy person of Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah is targeted with absurd and nonsense remarks.



HOLY PROPHET (s.a.w.)’s TRUE ARDENT DEVOTEE’S JAM’AT / COMMUNITY ANSWERS
With the help of Holy Quran, the Ahmadiyya Community:
i- answers each allegation made by the opponents of Islam.
ii- explains the Islam’s teaching likes Justice and of high standard.
Islam’s teaching is so great that all non Muslims who like justice, when they learn about it from Ahmadiyya Jama’at, they praise it but they ask “who is practicing this teachings now?; we can see indications that your community practices it but you are less in numbers.”



CONCERN
Non Muslims admit, openly and in hunts, the fact that Ahmadiyys Jama’at presents Islam’s Justice-ful and no-extremism teaching by practice.


Holy Khalifah of Promised Messiah asks his Jama’at / Community that they should be mindful and should make self checks about practing the teaching when time comes. They have great responsibility because they follow the Promised Messiah Mahdi who stood and made a Jama’at for renaissance of Islam in this era and who presented the beautiful teachings of Islam. The words and deeds of his followers should be in harmony. Others should have no complaints about them. Any wrong act of them shall make bad image of the Community. They should not do any thing which may defame Promised Messiah (peace be on him) and the his Community.



PRACTICE THE ABOVE VERSES AT ALL LEVELS
The beautiful teaching of Allah and Islam requires practice at all level. Since, Ahmadiyya Muslims believe that they are linked with Imam of the age, thus they should be very careful in their conducts in homes, in society, with dear ones and also with opponents. They should never be unjust to anyone and never think about hurting anyone.




ABOVE VERSES EXPLAINED
In every matter, testimony should be:
-- For the sake of pleasure and commandment of God, not for personal motive.
-- For high standard of justice. It require truthfulness. Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) said that one should like for others what one likes for oneself.


Pleasure of God is superior, other matters should come under it. Testimony should not be twisted or hidden. There should be courage even to testify against oneself, family or friends. Trick may bring temporay benefits but results of displeasure of God will be unbearable.


To get nearness of God, always fulfill dues of justice. Say right.


Prior to the grant of commission by God, the would-be Promised Messiah demonstared high standard of justice.
Once the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) had to give testimony in a farming matter. There was a conflict with land workers over ownership of some trees. The land workers knew the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) always gave truthful testimony and indeed he said before the judge that in his opinion the land workers had the right to the trees. The Promised Messiah’s (on whom be peace) father and family were unhappy with him, yet he gave truthful testimony. Thus was the standard set by the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) which we should follow. This is the standard that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) enjoined us to follow.



‘….Allah is well aware of ofwhat you do….’. He cannot be betrayed. Allah want to see the high standards of justice. Even the enemy should provided justice.


World will listen to us if our deeds are according to our words of fairness.


‘….kuno qaw-wameena lillahe….’ i.e….be steadfast in the cause of Allah….. The word ‘qaw-wam’ signifies to do something (here it is justice) with continuous effort by going in-depth. Such kind of tireless effort for justice with fine points is required to establish peace and security in the world. Ahmadiyya Community is uniquely doing so as the Imam of the age has made them aware of real teachings of Islam and they try to practice it. They have to keep self checks to maintain high standards.



Check for any lack of confidence in homes, absence of love and affection in marital relations and effects on children, cracks in brotherly relations, thinking ill of others, absence of honesty, bitter end of joint-businesses which had started with freindships, increase in complaints in Qadha Boards, more going to worldy courts………All this is due to conditions of hearts, contradiction in words and practice, different standards for self and others.



Each member of Ahmadiyya Community and office-bearers should be mindful how to discharge the enormous task of dispensing justice and truth in order to attain pleasure of God. For this, one has to be mindful of commandments of God and practice them.



Hadhrat Promised Messiah (upon whom be peace) said:
‘There is no other secure place like the fortress and sphere of God Almighty’s protection. However, advantage cannot be availed through incomplete means. Can anyone say that when one is thirsty, drinking a mere drop is sufficient? Or when extremely hungry a crumb or a mouthful will satiate? One is most certainly not satisfied unless one eats and drinks to one’s fill. Similarly, unless excellence is attained in deeds, desired fruits and outcomes are not generated. Defective deeds do not please Allah the Exalted and they are not blessed either. It is indeed Allah’s promise that if deeds are performed which please Him, He will grant blessing.’



Hadhart Khalifah tul Messiah V may Allah help him) concluded the sermon:

God has given us the responsibility of taking the message of peace and security to the world. For this, we have to abide by fairness and truthfulness. Fairness can be maintained when one reflects over God’s commandments in-depth. It is required that we deeply ponder over discharging rights of God and rights of mankind. May God enable us to do so and may we make our homes and society like paradise and in light of the beautiful teaching of Islam also fulfil the dues of Tabligh. May we explain the teaching of real justice to the world and save it from destruction! The world is indeed fast moving towards most frightening destruction. Justice remains neither among Muslims nor non-Muslims, not only is there no justice but they are all exceeding limits in cruelty. At such a time only Jama’at Ahmadiyya can play the role of saving the world from destruction. For this everyone should make practical efforts within their sphere and of course turn to prayer with great focus. The injustices in Muslim countries have embroiled them in internal strife as well as external dangers are impending. It appears as if a great war is menacingly looming. The world may not be unaware of its dangers, nut it is definitely careless about it. In such circumstances, servants of the Muhammadan Messiah need to play their role and pray profusely. May God enable us to fulfil our responsibilities and save the world from destruction!
