Islam Ahmadiyyat - The Truth Prevails Sermon Delivered by Hadhrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad at Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community December 9th 2011 December 9th 2011 SUMMARY The detractors of Ahmadiyyat deny the claim of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) because of their obstinacy, egotism and vested interests and they persecute Ahmadis This opposition is extending to the West, where civil liberties are safeguarded by the government; these governments are generally fair Hudhur (aba) commended the fairness of Dutch government in response to accusations from Dutch MP Mr. Geert Wilders Hudhur (aba) explained the summary of his message to the Pope and described a meeting with the great grand son of Henry Martin Clark Hudhur (aba) gave the sad news of maryrdom of Maryam Khatoon sahiba in Pakistan The detractors of Ahmadiyyat deny the claim of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) because of their obstinacy, egotism and vested interests On the other hand, the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) has put forward thousands of arguments derived from the Holy Qur’an, Hadith and from commentaries of earlier scholars of Islam supporting his advent Though pious-natured people, for whom God had decreed guidance have accepted the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) and have the privilege to take his Bai’at December 9th 2011 Islam Ahmadiyyat There are others who also understand but out of fear of the so-called mullah and by following him, continue to deprive themselves of this spiritual blessing December 9th 2011 Mullah throw pages of the Qur’an in the sewer or rubbish heap and incriminate Ahmadis Their other tactic is to write the name of our master, the Holy Prophet (pbuh), in wrongful manner and in wrongful spots and implicate Ahmadi children For this our children are expelled from the school, they are beaten up and efforts are made to file court cases against these innocent children for affronting the Prophet (pbuh). Such cases have a nobail clause and the penalty is extreme Mullah and Persecution of Ahmadi children So-called maulwis and their cohorts have reached the extreme pits of morality where in order to persecute Ahmadis, they do not even desist from affronting the Holy Qur’an and the Holy Prophet (pbuh) and put the blame on Ahmadis The cries of the victims work when such immorality takes place Hudhur (aba) has often drawn attention that our prayers should only revolve around the progress of Ahmadiyyat, true Islam, so that God brings about the chastisement of those who have exceeded limits in cruelty in the name of God. They are trying to discredit God, Islam and the Holy Prophet (pbuh) December 9th 2011 Prayers for Pakistan Hudhur (aba) said we should also pray that the pious-natured among them are enabled to give the salaam of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) to the Imam of the age It is not that the majority of Muslims are a part of the current disorder and cruelty Today it is not the rule of law, rather it is rule of mullah Fact is that a large majority does not wish to understand the message of Ahmadiyyat due to unawareness and out of fear Or there are those who understand, but are in fear of the laws of the land December 9th 2011 Persecution of Ahmadis And out of fear of the mullah, law of the land does not allow Ahmadis full citizens’ rights Mullah has put it in the minds of the uninformed that God forbid, Ahmadis consider Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (peace be on him) the last Prophet • This is incorrect. December 9th 2011 We say that the true and ardent devotee of the Holy Prophet (pbuh) came to bring people of all religions to bow to the Holy Prophet (pbuh). The true status of the Promsied Messiah (on whom be peace) The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) silenced the world with his arguments and reasoning and provided unassailable defence of Islam. Not only did he stop the onslaught of the enemy, he made them retreat. His arguments and reasoning left no choice for the attackers of Islam to take flight. The true status of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace); A Divine Revelation ‘Proclaim, truth has arrived and falsehood has vanished, indeed falsehood is bound to vanish. Every blessing is from Muhammadsa, then blessed is he who taught and he who was taught’ and further wrote: ‘All these revelations constituted a prophecy that through me God Almighty will establish the truth of Islam and the falsehood of all other faiths. That prophecy now stands fulfilled because no opponent has had the capacity or fortitude to prove the truth of his faith as against me. Heavenly signs are being displayed at my hand and the verities and deeper meanings of the Holy Qur’an are being set forth through my pen. Arise and search everywhere in the world. Is there anyone from among the Christians or the Sikhs or the Jews or the followers of any other faith who can stand against me in exhibiting heavenly signs and in setting forth verities and learning? I am the one concerning whom this Hadith is found in the authentic books of Hadith that in his time all religious communities will be destroyed but Islam will shine brighter than it ever did in the intervening periods. Mullah and persecution of Ahmadis Opposition of the Holy Qur’an exhibition Today, it is the community of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) that the teaching of Islam shines The Community holds exhibitions of the Holy Qur’an all over the world to expound its teachings in response to the attacks of the enemies of Islam It is his Community that is undertaking the task of Tabligh under the auspices of Khilafat in Africa, Europe and other parts of the world to present a true picture of Islam These exhibitions make a very positive impact on public about true teachings of Islam December 9th 2011 However, the mullah did not even desist from opposing our exhibitions. An exhibition in Delhi had to be cut short because of furore created by mullah who joined a few extremists December 9th 2011 Recently a Qur’an exhibition was being organised in a UK city but the mullah raised objections and the police requested our administration to cancel the exhibition Hudhur (aba) said, ‘on principle, such requests should be refuted with reasoning, but the local Jama’at accepted their request and cancelled the exhibition If we indulge the mullah in these countries of established civil liberties, we will become those who promote extremism even in this country We should also make the authorities understand this point very well and should reorganise the exhibition’ Mullah and Opposition of the Holy Qur’an exhibition Hudhur (aba) said as mentioned before it is a general good point of Western countries that everyone is the same in the eyes of law here, therefore, if anyone impedes our work here, we should seek the help of law. Fairness of Dutch government During Hudhur’s recent European tour, he led a Friday Prayer in Holland and Hudhur gave a message to a Dutch politician, an MP Geert Wilders In that sermon, Hudhur (aba) had said that those who are excessive in disrespecting Islam and the Holy Prophet (pbuh) should desist from it, or else fear God’s chastisement. When it comes, God’s chastisement destroys the likes of the politician and God has the power to chastise Hudhur (aba) had also said that we have no power but we will contend with the likes of the politician with prayers December 9th 2011 When the person in-charge prepared a press release based on a summary of this Friday sermon, Hudhur (aba) told him to include the sentence in which Hudhur (aba) had mentioned that we do not have any worldly weapons but we pray that the politician and people like him perish Accusation • Geert Wilders read the press release and wrote to the Dutch government accusing this to be a ‘mischievous’ message December 9th 2011 Response • The Dutch interior minister responded that the purport of Hudhur’s message was that such people would perish through prayer and not through any means of secular violence Justice • Hudhur(aba) said the answers of the Dutch interior ministry are based on justice and fairness Fairness of Dutch government Hudhur said we have been given the obligation to take the message of Islam to the ends of the earth and to silence the enemy with reasoning. Every Ahmadi is undertaking this task in accordance to his or her capacity. Message to the Pope December 9th 2011 Recently the Ameer sahib of Kababir attended an inter-religious meeting with the Pope and conveyed a message of Hudhur (aba) to the Pope and highranking priests at the Vatican The letter of message was received personally by the Pope who was also given a copy of the Holy Qur’an with Italian translation Hudhur (aba) gave the summary of this message in which he wrote to the Pope that he had a voice in the world and had a large following, therefore he should try that all world religions get together and work for peace and recognise the One Creator http://www.alislam.org/egazette/pressrelease/world-muslim-leader-sends-message-ofpeace-to-pope-benedict/ A Divine Sign December 9th 2011 The Promised Messiah’s (on whom be peace) book ‘Jang e Moqaddas’ gives a detailed account of this while his book ‘Kitab ul Bariyyah’ relates the false court case for murder that Martin Clark had filed Hudhur (aba) said a very infamous law case was filed against the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) by a priest named Henry Martin Clark in order to avenge the defeat of Christians by the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) in a religious debate The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) was honourably acquitted of by the judge of the time, Captain Douglas, who the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) entitled Pilate II Recently the greatgrandson of Henry Martin Clark came to see Hudhur (aba) after tracing his genealogy Hudhur (aba) said people come to meet him all the time but in this meeting what the great-grandson said is a sign of the truthfulness of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace A Divine Sign At this, the greatgrandson said, ‘God has certainly shown a sign even today.’ In any way, today God is demonstrating the truth of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) through the children of enemies of Islam. December 9th 2011 It was explained to him by Asif Sahib of MTA that some harsh words the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) had to use for Martin Clark were because of his inflexibility If the account of the debate is read, it becomes very clear that Islam was victorious but he continued to raise slogans that Christianity had won On which the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) had said that prayer should be made for God to show clear sign The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) wrote December 9th 2011 The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) said whoever rejected him in fact rejected God and His Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) because whoever accused him of falsehood, prior to doing so, God forbid, considered God false although he could see that internal and external disorders had exceeded limits. And in spite of God’s promise of ‘Verily, We Ourselves have send down this Exhortation, and most surely We will be its Guardian’ (15:10) reformation of these people had not been arranged. The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) wrote December 9th 2011 Similarly the Quranic verse: ‘And among others from God has promised in Ayat e Ishtakhlaf that among them who have not just like the Mosaic dispensation, He would yet joined them…’ (62:4) establish successors in the Muhammadan would have to be denied dispensation as well, but God forbid, He because it gives the tiding of the has not fulfilled His promise. The Quranic advent of the Messiah. Likewise assertion that the Holy Prophet (peace and many other verses of the Qur’an blessings of Allah be on him) was a would have to be denied, in fact, Prophet in the Mosaic tradition will also the Promised Messiah (on whom have to be denied, God forbid, because it be peace) said with conviction was essential for the congruity that a that the entire Qur’an would Messiah should appear in the fourteenth have to be abandoned. He century from this Ummah, just as a remarked, ‘consider then, is Messiah had appeared in the fourteenth accusing me of falsehood, an century of the Mosaic dispensation. easy matter?’ The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) wrote ‘Do not thrust your hand into fire lest the fire should flare up and consume it. Remember well that had this been man’s doing, there would have been many who would have destroyed it and it would not have survived for twelve years, which is an age of maturity. Do you recall any impostor who, having falsely claimed converse with God, has survived for such a long time? It is a pity that you do not reflect nor recall the verses of the Holy Qur’an, wherein God says with reference to the Holy Prophetsa, that had he falsely attributed the smallest thing to God, He would have severed his jugular vein. Who is dearer to God than the Holy Prophetsa, that he should not only survive such a great imposture, but should be enriched by Divine bounties? December 9th 2011 The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) wrote December 9th 2011 Brothers! refrain from selfdeception and be not obstinate in matters which are specially in the knowledge of God. Break your habits, become new men and tread along the paths of righteousness so that He may have mercy on you and may forgive your sins. Fear God and restrain yourselves. Is there not one among you who is rightly guided? If you do not desist, God will soon bring help to His servant and will break up his enemies and you will be able to do him no harm December 9th 2011 Maryam Khatoon sahiba Maryam Khatoon sahiba was martyred in Pakistan on 5 December; her attacker escaped with the help of local police Her family was attacked and she passed away on the spot.
