Peace be upon you.
Peace be on you. ‘O ye who believe! (exercise) Taqwa of Allah (as it is His) right (that) He (should) be (obeyed with) Taqwa; and let not death overtake you except when you are in a state of full submission.’ (Holy Quran, Surah Al Imran, chapter 3: verse 103)
TAQWA
A real momin (true believer) fulfills all conditions of Taqwa; it is summed as:
= To pay all the rights of Allah.
= To pay all the rights of people.
= To be ready to do all virtues [avoid all sins].
= To try to obey all commandments of Allah till last moments of life.
= To believe and full practice on the teachings and prophecies of Allah and the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be on him).
ONLY TITLE OF BEING A MUSLIM IS NOT ENOUGH, PRACTICE IS NEEDED
Just using the title ‘Muslim’ is not enough to be counted among believers. The continuous process to follow the commandments of Allah and the model of Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) is required.
People of previous religions disobeyed Allah and there was chastisement. Believers keep that in mind. To be a Muslim complete obedience and fear of God is needed. They look for things to do which help them to be obedient of God, even if there is worldly loss.
Real Muslims do not stop short in understanding and practicing Allah’s commandments even if parents, relatives, society, political or country leaders, (pseudo) molvis / clergies or pirs / religious-leaders or gudi-nasheens / those-who-take-seat-of-pirs ask otherwise. Everyone is accountable to God.
Real Muslims understand Allah’s commandments, ponder over Allah’s Signs, follow the Messenger (s.a.w.), do not take part in brutalities, understand and practice upon the soul of Islam. If it is not so, then there is only a claim of being Muslim; void of Taqwa and away from Allah’s commandments.
HUGE RESPONSIBILITY
God tells that He does not accept the Prayer and sacrifice of Taqwa-less people. Instead they are destroyed. God becomes Friend of friends and Enemy of enemies of those who practice the commandments of God and seek His pleasure. God accepts from them. They are watchful to be a true Muslim whenever death comes to them.
The true ardent devotee of Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) is accepted by Ahmadiyya Community, it is their responsibility to practice, all the time, what pleases God.
EXPRESSIONS OF SOME COMMON MUSLIMS WHO WATCH SERMONS ON MTAi and THE SIGN OF GOD
There are common Muslims who watch programs on MTAi (Muslim-Television -Ahmadiyya-International, through satellite and mta.tv) or study the Message and give feed back. One of them recently wrote to Hadhrat Khalifah tul Messiah V (may Allah help him) : I am sure your sayings are true. The conditions of era testifies to the truth of Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. The Community is right. Our good wishes are for you…… They wanted to join the Community but were afraid of society and (pseudo) clergies. Another person wrote: God’s chastisement should be feared if this Jama’at happens to be true.
Holy Khalifah said that God commands to follow Taqwa. The Community is true and the 124 years of practical testimony of God proves it. The Community stood firm in faith and progressed in spite of organized governmental sanctions, persecutions, false religious verdicts / fatwas to allow brutalities, abduction, murder, burning houses, dismissing from employments, obstructing children from seeking education. It should be sufficient proof. The reason of progress of the weak Community (material-wise) is the help of God – An Excellent Protector, An Excellent Helper. It is Sign of God.
UN-HOLY JIHAD – MUSLIMS KILLING MUSLIM – DEFAMING ISLAM
Ill fame is being brought to Islam by the organizations formed on the name of Islam which are doing Jihadi activities. God’s promised support is not with them. As the result of their activities, Muslim is killing Muslim by acquiring weapons from non-Muslims. In Syria, anti-government faction is demanding weapons from the West so that they can overthrow government. Weapons are being used against whom? Against Muslims. Both sides are out of Taqwa. They are away from religion.
EMIR TIMUR AND CURRENT MUSLIM LEADERS
Muslim rulers can learn some lesson from the positive acts of a past ruler known as Emir Timur, who rose from ordinary and controlled a vast territory. During his adventures, he would first check how the local kings was behaving with their own people and how were their morals. If he found negative results, he would move forward according to the customs of old eras and establish his rule. But his rules were mostly based on social justice and welfare of subjects.
If we look into Islamic countries today, we find rulers only care their own interests, not of their people. Clergies are not caring about people’s religious / moral teaching; instead they are looking for power or running / helping terrorist organizations. On the name of jihad, some religious-schools (madrasas) are providing militant / weapon training. This all is to be used against Muslims; Muslim is thirsty of Muslim’s blood. Such people are defaming Islam. Islam, in its pure shape, is the religion of peace.
ATTITUDE AGAISNT TEACHINGS OF HOLY PROPHET (s.a.w.)
After the recent cruelty in Boston Marathon blast, immediately Muslims were cited as responsible. Denial came from Muslim organizations but some lauded the brutality. Such attitude is against the teachings of Holy Prophet (s.a.w.). The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) taught not to hurt the innocent, children, women and the elderly even during war. Holy Quran has specifically mentions safeguarding people of other religions. Let alone taking lives of people and hurting them badly in the absence of a state war. One newspaper wrote that killing all the Muslims was the solution. Others dare to express such views too.
WHY DO THEY DARE? – UNREST AND SOCIAL INJUSTICE IN ISLAMIC COUNTRIES
There is unrest in 70 % of Islamic countries. In Afghanistan, Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Pakistan, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Muslims are killing Muslims. At least, they should not use the name of religion and should not call the brutalities as Jihad. Public rights are not being paid.
In those Muslim countries where extremism is not common, there is social injustice. Poor are getting poorer and rich richer. Saudi Arabia is wealthy oil country but there are poor people, poor widows, orphans who have not enough food. Women cannot work outside there, but their needs are not taken care; given ration is not enough. Imperial walls are gold plated. Oil money is being wasted, poor are dying. All this has been televised. Similar restlessness, cruelty and social injustice are in other Islamic countries.
It is lack of Taqwa.
YET, THEY SAY: NO NEED OF REFORMER
They say that in the presence of perfect teaching, they have no need for reformer Messiah Mahdi.
BUT:
ALLAH AND HOLY PROPHET (s.a.w.) HAVE FORETOLD ABOUT COMING OF REFORMER and CONDITIONS OF THE TIME BEAR WITNESS TO IT TOO and IT HAS HAPPENED BY THE GRACE OF ALLAH
The Holy Khalifah of Promised Messiah said:

BUT:
ALLAH AND HOLY PROPHET (s.a.w.) HAVE FORETOLD ABOUT COMING OF REFORMER and CONDITIONS OF THE TIME BEAR WITNESS TO IT TOO and IT HAS HAPPENED BY THE GRACE OF ALLAH
The Holy Khalifah of Promised Messiah said:
It is said that the teaching of Islam is complete and no reformer or Messiah or Prophet is now needed.
= It was indeed prophesised by God and His Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) that the advent of such a person will take place for the reformation of the world.
= And the state of affairs of the world is crying out that Muslims have forgotten their teachings.
= Mosques exist but they have been made into political arenas.
= Indeed, the Qur’an is there, but it is kept in beautiful cupboards.
= The clerics have written its commentaries to suit themselves and are thus leading the public on the wrong path.
= It is wrong to say there is no need for anyone to come because the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) had said that there will be need. There is certainly need for someone to come from God to reform Muslims and negate the wrong perception of Islam and bring the world under the banner of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him).
= When God and the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) called the one who was to come a Prophet, who has to right to make his own interpretation and persecute those who follow him?
= The state of the world bear witness that in spite of the Holy Qur’an preserved in its original form the religious, spiritual and moral state of Muslims is declining and Taqwa is lacking. Majority of the Muslims are leading their lives outside of God’s commandments.
= A person is indeed required in such a situation to understand the essence of Islam and spread it among Muslims and we Ahmadis say that the person was sent by God in line with the prophecies of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) in the fourteenth century.
With the grace and succour of God, he elucidated the spiritual treasures of the Holy Qur’an in his books and made a clear distinction between truth and falsehood. He proved Islam’s superiority over all other world religions and thus challenged its enemies. He lived a long life with God’s support and succour and then passed away leaving behind him an eternal system of succession [Khilafat].
The earthly and heavenly corroborations he received continue to come to pass in the form of natural disasters. Are the earthquakes, the floods, the humiliation of Muslims in the world not enough to open the eyes of Pakistanis and other Muslims? The recent earthquake was felt in many countries, including Indonesia……CONTINUES
