Revive Justice in Unjust World - from base to world – Wisdom & Love of a New Ahmadi Syrian Martyr

[DawudTalut]

World powers have tried all methods to establish peace but in vain. Hazrat Khalifatul Messiah V (a.t.) invites them to use real Islamic standard of justice and equity for world peace. He explains that current mayhem is proof of Islamic prophecies and also the prophecy about the Promised Solution is fulfulled as coming of servant of Holy Prophet (s.a.w.), the Promised Messiah, the Covenanted Mahdi (a.s.) and what are duties of followers to first establish the justice and equity at Community and officer-holder levels, then to world level……A sincere Syrian Ahmadi is martyred, how his wisdom, and love for Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) worked to reach at truth.
==================================================
Peace be on all.

Holy Quran [ch4:v136]: "O ye who believe! Be strict in observing justice, and be witnesses for Allah, even though it be against yourself 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 aware of what you do."


Huzur (may Allah help him) said that we tell the world that the solution of world problems is in Islamic teaching. For this we present Quranic teaching….In recent visit to Canada, when a journalist asked him what solution he presents for current problems, Huzur (a.t.) told him that you worldly people and big global powers have exhausted all efforts, according to your pride, to solve problems, establish peace and stop terrorism but problems stay where they were. If at one place, there is some relief, then discords erupts at other place. All worldly efforts have been used to solve these fights. There is only one way that has not yet been tried and it is the solution in the light of the Islamic teaching…………At this they become silent but we have to see that Muslim countries raised the slogan of Islam, but unfortunately they did not and try not to practice what God wants and taught and its model is presented by Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him……As the result the most embroiled countries in mayhem, are the Muslim countries. What else could be greater tragedy than it?

==

It can come to minds of non-Muslims that if Islamic instructions have any reality then firstly the Islamic countries should reform themselves. Huzur (a.t.) said, that is why, in his addresses, first he mentions the state of Muslim countries then he show to global powers their own face.

==

Huzur (a.t.) relates in interviews and addresses that Muslims' not acting upon them is also a proof of the truth of Islam and the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) because he (s.a.w.) clearly foretold Muslims will be in such a condition that they would have forgotten the essence of the Islamic teaching and their base desires and personal interests will become their preferences…...It was prophesied that when such a situation will emerge, his true servant will be born. His advent is mentioned in the Holy Quran and the signs of his advent are stated in the Holy Quran and are also clearly explained by the Holy Prophet (peace be on him)…….That is why Ahmadi Muslim feel solace, instead of being worried in these situations, that Prophecy of Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) is fulfilled…The state of clergies was foretold too; voices are being raised about it as well.

Ahmadi Muslims are happy , from other angle too, that we are among those who are completing the second part of Prophecy of Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him). That is we believe the Messenger sent by Allah the Exalted, the true servant of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) - the Promised Messiah and the Covenanted Mahdi (on whom be peace). Through him, the period of the renaissance of Islam has begun.

==

But, will only this, make us the achievers of our purpose. This is such a question, we all need to ponder over!

==

Huzur (may Allah be his Helper) said that he has mentioned the above stated verse i.e. -----

[ch4:v136]: "O ye who believe! Be strict in observing justice, and be witnesses for Allah, even though it be against yourself 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 aware of what you do."


----- many times in his addresses before others and tell them that the standards which Islam sets for justice and equity are mentioned in this verse.

Most of them get impressed, they mention it in their reviews.

==

But impressing others academically is not our task, we have to show practical examples of Quranic injunctions to further the mission of Hazrat Promised Messiah (on whom be peace). We have no government to show such examples. When that time will come, God willingly, we’ll have to show that on higher level too.….. But currently we need to set such models at level of Jama'at and economics. World can ask us fine, you have no governmental powers but you have a system of Jama'at, you are a Community, you claim to sit and rise at motion of a hand, you deal each other in economic and societal issues.. Do you deal with mutual matters at the gauge of justice and honesty?

==

Allah the Exalted has used the words 'qist’ and ‘adl this verse, it means equality, complete justice, and high moral standard, being absolutely clear of any bias, and working without any leaning and influence.

Now, each of us need to see if we deal our matters by keeping these things before us? Are we ready to witness against ourselves, our parents, close relatives (firstly children), to suppress our desires, to establish these standards? And can we show it practi cally.

These are not insignificant matters.

==

In this age, the true servant of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) practically showed us these norms.

It is related once when his father was the Raes, landlord of that area of Qadian, family litigation started with the farm laborers and by speaking the truth in favor of the laborers, he did not care about the monetary loss to the family. Even though the farm laborers knew that he was the part owner, they asked the court to decide on his statement because they knew he would always give testimony based of truth and justice, and he did.

==

Thus he (a.s.) wants to set these standards among his followers because he wants to create and produce such a Jama'at which should act on the directives of Holy Quran, and whose levels of virtues are high. That is why, in Bai'at Pledge, he took covenant from us to to accept the complete authority of the Holy Quran

==

At another place, in the Holy Quran, Allah the Exalted says:

"……..and let not a people's enmity incite you to act otherwise than with justice. Be always just, that is nearest to righteousness…….." [ch5:from v9]

Hazrat Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) says in this regard: “.. animosity toward opposing communities should not impede you from doing justice. Be steadfast with justice because Taqwa is in it.”………."I utter with plain truth that it is easy to treat enemy with politeness but to protect the rights of the enemy, and not to let justice and equity go out of hand in the law suits against them is very difficult, and befit only courageous men." …….."Most people love their enemy relatives and treat them with sweat talk but usurp their rights. A brother loves other brother and usurps his rights in the curtain of love by deception."

He (on whom be peace) expects from his Jama'at to have high standards, and to act according to teaching of the Holy Quran. They should not be among who usurp rights and do injustice. If they get the authority to make decisions, then decision should be by disregarding each relations even if it harms self, parents, close relatives or children. But the high standards of justice must be upheld invariably. Only then we shall be able to tell the world that we are the ones who, by bringing about a change in ourselves, by acting on the Islamic teaching, have the courage to dispense justice, and we do it even to our enemies. We are doing this because we have to lead the world in future….Every Ahmadi, especially, the office holders need to meet high standard of justice and equity.

CONTINUES

 

[DawudTalut]

In the context of recent tour to Canada, Huzur (may Allah be his Helper) instructed worldwide office holders [central level as well as presidents and their executive bodies etc] to make decisions, both parties should have assurance that they have been heard. All public dealing departments -- like Qaza [justice dept] , Amoore Aama [general matters], Tarbiyyat [training], Islahi Committee [correction], Commissions to research certain matters and hold hearings -- must decide after cogitating, deliberating, using all of its capabilities, and considering all the fine points. Pray and seek help from Allah the Exalted for grant of capability to reach a just decision. Some offer supererogatory prayers before decision making but there are some who decide carelessly or under personal inclinations.

Similarly, office of the General Secretary deals public. Personal here should treat every visitor with respect and dignity.

Officers of all the remaining public departments should oversee that every worker and helper with them is performing his duties by fulfilling all the requirements of justice. …. Acceptance of any duty by any worker is a pledge in itself that he will work by fulfilling the requirements of justice. This is such a trust that should be purely for Allah the Exalted.

Generally, the duty of every faithful is to protect and fulfill their trust and pledge, as Allah the Exalted says: [29:9] "And who are watchful of their trusts and their covenants." ……..Thus how much careful those have to be, who serve for the sake of Allah the Exalted!

==

Unjust and arrogance by serving people will incur Allah’s displeasure. Wherever mistakes are made, instead of finding lame excuses, they should ask for forgiveness and try to reform. …Being president, secretary or amir by itself doesn't have any merit. These offices cannot bring forgiveness for anyone nor do they favor God or His community. There is no gain if they are not delivering their trusts and pledges and doing justice, as God wants them to do with purity of heart.

==

Mend your ways and remember Allah's commandment:

"…….and speak to people kindly….." [2:84]

Office bearers need to assess their conduct in every country of the world……we need to set our norms in every field. Our office bearer particularly and every Ahmadi generally, should serve as a role model before the world……..

==

All Ahmadis should be exemplary models in their relationships, fulfillment of the demands of justice, taking their conducts to a higher level and in purging themselves of any kind of partiality in their mutual dealings. They should not be biased towards any side. The attestation and statement of an Ahmadi should be exemplary in their equity and truthfulness and the world should proclaim that if an Ahmadi is bearing witness, it cannot be challenged because that testimony is at the high standard of justice. If we achieve that, then, we are true to our speeches and propagation, otherwise, we are just like others.

==

Every Ahmadi should remember that, in our initiation, we have pledged to refrain from all kinds of vices and ignoring the pledge and not acting upon it is tantamount to breaking the trust…….While telling the sign of a true believer, The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) said that, in any person’s heart, neither faith and infidelity, and truth and falsehood can exist together nor trust and distrust can join…… Then, in a Hadith which office holders and all Ahmadis should keep in view, he (s.a.w.) said, that heart of a Muslim cannot break the trust in three matters. Here are those three things: 1) Sincere intention for the service for God the Exalted. 2) Goodwill for every Muslim / for every each other one. 3) living together with Muslim Jama'at .


So to pay responsibilities of Deen of Allah the Exalted by fulfilling demands of justice and with sincere intention, it is indeed to pay right of trust of Allah the Exalted .

Similarly, everybody must observe others' rights. When everyone of us will deliver each other's rights by fulfilling demands of justice, the race for attaining rights will end automatically. People will deliver rights rather than demand them. This is the true sign of a Muslim as told by the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him).


And again, every Ahmadi should remember to remain stick with Jama'at-Muslemeen makes real Muslim.

that it is being one with the Jama'at of Muslims that makes you a True Muslim. At this time, there is one and only one Jama'at in world which is called Jama'at Ahmadiyya Muslemah. And this is the only Jama'at which is known by a single name in world. There is no other international Jama'at that is known by one name throughout the world. Thus, to live by stick with it and become a part of the system of the Jama'at is what makes a true Muslim according to the saying of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him). At this fortunateness, every Ahmadi as much pays thanks to Allah is that much less. The true thankfulness is there should be complete obedience of system of Jama'at and the obedience to Khilafat. May Allah the Exalted grant every Ahmadi the capacity for that gratefulness and may grant the ability to fulfill the demands of justice. If any kind of testimonies are needed, they never break the trust. May every official of the Jama'at understand his responsibilities, be able to fulfill and pay his pledges and trusts, and be discharging his responsibilities in accordance with the demands of justice.

==

May this beautiful education continue in our generations and we should make effort for this too well so that when the time comes, we shall be able to show the true justice established in the world. The justice that was established by the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him), and the models of which were set by his (s.a.w.) true servant in this age as well, and which, he, expected from his followers too. May Allah enable to do so as well. [Aameen].

At the end of the sermon Hazrat Khalifatul V (may Allah help him with His Mighty Help) mentioned three deceased pious ones. ….. One was a martyr from Syria, Mr. Adnan Muhammad…..His wife had believed in Hazrat Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) but earlier he was not Ahmadi. He would learn about Jama'at from his father-in-law but when he would meet non-Ahmadi clergies, he would listen to them…. One day he saw his wife and her father reciting Quran. Adnan asked them to continue to read he wanted to hear commentary. The recitation was “…….iz yaqulu zalemoona in tattabe’ona illa rajolam mashura” [ch17:from 48] “…….when the wrongdoers say, ‘You follow none but a man who is a victim of magic / deception.’ ”……Father-in-law said Quran says those are wrong-doers who say magic was done to Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him). Jama'at Ahmadiyya believes any tradition is not acceptable which say magic was done to him (s.a.w.) Adnan made phone call to his clergy who presented a tradition and said magic was done to him (s.a.w.).

Adan sahib told clergy, “I am a common man with weaknesses, I know some of my close people tried to spell magic on me, but it did not work on me. Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) was the closest and the most loved Messenger of Allah the Exalted, then how can I accept that some people were able to spell magic on him (s.a.w.).”

After this Adnan continued to ponder. One day he told his wife, “I wished my wife to be of good morals, I have noticed a great positive change in you since you accepted Ahmadiyya-Islam….I too join this Jama'at.”

A terrorist organization which opposed Jama'at Ahmadiyya, martyred him in 2013….News came now……The martyr was man of great character. Bread was scarce due to war, he would bring it from far place and provide it to people. He was pious, punctual in offering Salaats, serve Jama'at. He was a kind and loving husband and father, he was always concerned about religious training of his children, he helped everyone, he offered religious financial offering, after joining Jama'at he became very sincere.

[DawudTalut]

Hi Folks...
Yer, thats all well and good - sounds nice - BUT - what about all those other verses that say the complete opposite..??..

Peace be on you, our friend!
1=There are no such verses, if there is misunderstanding please learn at
https://www.alislam.org/quran/tafseer/guide.htm?region=E1

2=Surely you are not aware of Ahmadiyya-Muslim's understanding of true Islam...[most welcome @ www.alislam.org]

3=Contrary to your ideas, Holy Quran acknowledges the nascent teaching of previous religions, and consider those teachings part of final version.

Quran
[2:63]Surely, the Believers, and the Jews, and the Christians and the Sabians — whichever party from among these truly believes in Allah and the Last Day and does good deeds — shall have their reward with their Lord, and no fear shall come upon them, nor shall they grieve.

3=For decision in differences, solution is NOT killing, but to wait till Hereafter:

[22:18]As to those who believe, and the Jews, and the Sabians, and the Christians, and the Magians and the idolaters, verily, Allah will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection; surely Allah is Witness over all things.


3=Holy Quran Uniquely presents Lord of all people, all worlds.
[1:2] All praise belongs to Allah, Lord of all the worlds.

Yes - for sure there WOULD be world wide peace under Islam - but that is only because they will force everyone to convert, as is their stated mandate - and they will murder anyone who refuses to accept their "religious " truth also their clearly stated mandate - so yes for sure - peace will come eventually - once they do away with ALL the none believers and the world is FULLY DOMINATED by Islam, as again that is their clearly stated intent..

1=No compulsion to convert people is allowed in Islam.
[2:57] There should be no compulsion in religion. Surely, right has become distinct from wrong; so whosoever refuses to be led by those who transgress, and believes in Allah, has surely grasped a strong handle which knows no breaking. And Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

[4:138]Those who believe, then disbelieve, then again believe, then disbelieve, and then increase in disbelief, Allah will never forgive them nor will He guide them to the way.

[Note: No killing is asked.]

2=Message should be conveyed to all.
[5:68] O Messenger! convey to the people what has been revealed to thee from thy Lord; and if thou do it not, thou hast not conveyed His Message at all. And Allah will protect thee from men. Surely, Allah guides not the disbelieving people.

[88:22] Admonish, therefore, for thou art but an admonisher;
[88:23] Thou hast no authority to (compel) them.
[88:24] But whoever turns away and disbelieves,
[88:25] Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment.

[This last mention authority is in of God only....very clear]


3=The ideas you presented are alien to real Islam....if you see such practices here and there, those are due to wrong understanding, wrong preaching and politics (internal and external).

4=Under Ahmadiyya-Islam you and everyone will be free to believe and practice religion of choice.

Good wishes.
