Peace be upon you.
Peace be on you.
STRATEGY OF REFORMATION
Truthfulness is very important virtue but the root of reformation is holistic approach i.e. to seek every virtue which God has commanded to do and to avoid every sin with extreme dislike. Such morals and moderation are very important to practice for the Jama'at of Imam of the era.
SOLID AND IRREFUTABLE PROOFS -- IMPORTANCE OF PRACTICE
Hazrat Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) has provided solid and irrefutable proofs in favour of Islam and his advent. For example, Muslim Television Ahmadiyya [MTAi , mta.tv] broadcasts an Arabic program ‘hawarul mubaaashir’, its Christian viewer has acknowledged that Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at has concrete arguments…..Those who regularly keep reading books of Promised Messiah (a.s.) always remain victorious, as he (a.s.) foretold so…….This all is good but one has to be concerned about the practical reformations in characters, which Promised Messiah (a.s.) sought. One should make self checks.
HARD QUSTIONS FOR SELF CHECK
?-Does each of us defeat each ill of society by contending it? [Off course not by sword]
?-Do people around us get impressed by our acts based on Islamic morals and traditions or we succumb to bad influence?
?-Is each of us trying their best to reform their ways of life as the Hazrat Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) taught? -- The teaching, which demand that level of truthfulness which is completely free of any falsehood and deception.
?-Do we keep eye on the Hereafter during our worldly dealings?
?-Do we really give precedence to Din [the whole way of life based on religion] over worldliness?
?-Do we observe extreme watchfulness in avoiding every ill and every bad practice?
?-Do we avoid un-rightful acts, which seize the rights of someone else?
?-Do we diligently observe five daily Salaat / Prayers?
?-Do we always remain engage in prayers and remember God with humility?
?-Do we abandon such evil friend and companion who exerts bad influence on us?
?-Do we serve and respect our parents and listen to them in everything good that they say?
?-Are we gentle and benevolent to our wives and their relatives?
?-Are we not depriving our neighbours of minute goodness?
?-Do we forgive those who wrong us?
?-Are our hearts free of all types of rancour and malice for others?
?-Is every husband and every wife paying each other’s rights?
?-Are we vigilant of our conditions in the light of our pledge of Bai'at?
?-Are our gatherings free from slandering others and back-bitings?
?-Do our tongues remember Allah and Messenger in our gatherings?
YES OR NO ANSWERS TO ABOVE QUESTIONS IMPLIES
The ‘No’ answer raises concern about one’s lifestyle and it means one is away from teachings of Promised Messiah (on whom be peace).
The ‘Yes’ answer means fortunate are those who are paying heed to their lifestyle and paying dues of their Bai'at.
STRONG FAITH IS ERODED IF LIFESTYLE IS WEAK – KHILAFAT CARES
Having strong belief is a virtue but sometimes pressure of ill effects of society further weakens weaknesses in one’s lifestyle and shake the roots of one’s belief. As Satanic attack is gradual, one slips away from Nizam (administrative system) of Jama'at and this leads to distance from Khilafat. The strength of faith and practice is by being connected with Nizam and Khilafat. That is why, in each era, Ahmadiyya Khulafa have drawn attention of Jama'at to various weaknesses so that believers check themselves in time by engaging in Istaghfar (seeking forgiveness, cover and help from Allah), being watchful and removing their weaknesses while remembering God’s favours….That is also the testimony of the truthfulness of ardent devotee of Holy Prophet (s.a.w.)
TESTIMONY OF HOLY PROPHET (S.A.W.)’S PROPHECY THAT ONE JAMA'AT WOULD BE ON RIGHT PATH
In the recent tour of Asia-Pacific by Hazrat Khalifa tul Messiah (a.t.), during the meeting with Indonesian scholars in Singapore, many people told him that their ulema (religious scholars) should listen to him…..Ahmadiyya Khalifah (a.t.) said in response to a question that now Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at is the only Jama'at in the world whose scope is not regional but it is international. As a single entity, it has unity and it follows a Nizam (administrative system) and is led by an Imam [Khalifah] and is formed of people of all races…..This is a huge testimony to the prophecy of Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him), who had said that among the Muslims Ummah one Jama'at would be on the right path.
HENCE, THE TESTIMONY PUTS RESPONSIBILITY ON JAMA'AT TO COUNTER MODERN INTERNATIONL IMMORALITES
The above mentioned testimony puts great responsibility on Jama'at Ahmadiyya. They should watch their actions as Satan is active in unprecedented way in this era.
Evils are given legal protection on the name of freedom of expression. Ease in travel, television, internet and various media have not left any evil restricted to a locality, it internationalize it. Illicit contacts are being made across long distances.
Young women are deceived to fall into immorality and away from faith; they are lured for marriage. After brief marriage they are pushed into prostitution. Similarly young men are made paralytic morally and in faith.
May Allah protect, and each Ahmadiyya Muslim must do a personal Struggle (Jihad) to avoid this evils.
Hazrat Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) is sent to take the message of Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) to the corners of the earth. Therefore, Ahmadiyya Muslims should take advantage of modern inventions to spread the message of Promised Messiah (a.s.).
They must not get any indecent influence. They should not fall prey to detractors. Elders should present a good role model and youngsters should do full effort and seek Allah’s help against Satanic attacks. This unperceivable attack is coming on the name of entertainment and influencing youngsters and weak willed people.
Ahmadiyya Muslim Khilafat always points out these matters. Jama'at and its auxiliaries make related programs. Each member should raise personal defense and reform others; it will save next generations and weak willed ones. Such work till Hereafter will spread God’s name worldwide through modern inventions rather than they spread evil.
TARGET IS 100 % REFORMATION
Facts cannot be avoided by a progressive Jama'at. 50% or such reformation is not the way if revolutionary spiritual worldwide changes are sought.
The target is 100% reformation in our lifestyle.
If it is achieved, all conflicts, litigations, efforts to harm others financially, greed for property, viewing foul material on T.V and media, demeaning each other and all evils will be eliminated.
And an air of love, affection and kinhood will be generated which will make life on this earth like paradise.
SERVICE OF FAITH IS DIVINE BLESSING – HUMBLENESS IS BASIC MUST FOR OFFICE HOLDERS AND MEMBERS – HOLY PROPHET (S.A.W.) AND HAZRAT PROMISED MESSIAH (A.S.)’S MODELS
A sense of responsibility is needed so that we may understand that service of faith is a Divine blessing. 100% office-holders of Jama'at should have self-control and tolerance. Words of Promised Messiah (a.s.) should be kept in view : ‘Assume that you are worse than all the rest’…… He (a.s.) was revealed : ‘He is pleased with your humble ways.’ [Reference: Tadhkirah 200 edition, page 931]….To practice humbleness is included in the conditions of Bai'at.
Hazrat Promised Messiah (a.s.) is sent to remind Holy Prophet (s.a.w.)’s morals. Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) never spoke harshly even with servers. He (s.a.w.) reassured a man who was shaking due to his (s.a.w.) majestic dignity that he was not a despotic king but the son of a woman who ate dried meat.
These are role models for every office-holder and members of Jama'at.
Promised Messiah (a.s.) of Holy Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) said: ‘I was poor, helpless, unknown and without talent!’…It should be the state of passions who serve faith. Then there is hope [in the words of Promised Messiah (a.s.)] : ‘For this may admit you in the abode of union with God!’
