Peace be upon you.
Peace be on you.
[Holy Quran Surah Al-Naml, chapter 27, verse 63] “Or, Who (is He, Who) answers the distressed person when he call upon Him, and removes evil, and makes you successors in the earth? Is there a God besides Allah? Very little is that what you hold of advice.”
Hazrat Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) has repeatedly advised it to the people of his Jama'at that they should pay great attention to prayers because progress and supremacy of Jama'at and getting rid of opponents’ plots and actions will be achieved by prayers. He made it very clear that the weapon of our victory is the prayer.
Thus if we have to achieve each progress and to defeat each foe through prayers, then keeping in mind such importance of prayers, how much attention we ought to pay to prayers and how much attention we are devoting to prayers to get this objective. Each of us can make its estimation and check by looking at own condition.
Past days, a dear of Hazrat Khalifa tul Messiah V (may Allah be his Helper) told him a dream of his, in which Hazrat Khalifa tul Messiah V (a.t.) was saying to him, “Ramadhan has ended very soon, still I was to make Jama'at to do more prayers.”…..Huzur (a.t.) explains that there is an indication in it: As focus on prayers is maintained in Ramadhan, it will not be the same afterwards while Jama'at still is in great need of prayers…..Allah the Exalted has put in the heart of Huzur (a.t.) before he heard the dream, that he should draw attention of Jama'at towards prayers in Friday sermon after Ramadhan too….The favouring dream drew more attention.
Currently, conditions in world, Muslim Ummah especially Israel’s brutal attacks on Palestinians; there are cease fires; Palestinians are accused of initiating rocket attacks (Allah knows better about reality); may Allah make such arrangement which end the war permanently and oppression is stopped. We also observe Muslims’ mutual oppression on each other, chopping necks and murders, it is reaching to high limits. The extreme cruelty by these Kalima reciters is that they oppress Ahmadis on the name of Allah and Messenger and find excuses to continue these oppression willfully and give statements. It has become common by many Pakistanis to persecute and oppress Ahmadis at each level and occasion, under the influence of Mullahs [Fanatic-Clergies]. This poison is being passed on to the children too; at this young age when they have no real understanding of religion and animosity, they utter the words like, “Ahmadis are Kafirs [disbelievers] and their murder is allowed.”…Ahmadiyya Muslim teachers are misbehaved by children because of religion. These teachers are expelled and boycotted…The other day, in a village, parents and children rallied and caused shutdown to protest against such teacher. A reasonable person reminded them that Holy Prophet (peace and blessing of Allah be on him) freed prisoners of war [who had come to kill Muslims in war!] if they taught Muslims how to read and write. The villagers replied, that incidence in the past was true for Kafirs but these Qadianis [fanatics’ hateful slang for Ahmadiyya Muslims] people are worst than Kafirs. We are sparing their lives but according to us, it is permitted to kill them….This obstination get any low after any incidence and remains same….In Guranwala incidence, neighbours who used to have good terms with Ahmadis, some of them took part in looting the vacated houses of Ahmadis. When Fall reaches to such level, nothing can be said except ‘inna lillah’ [surely we are for Allah]. These people have reached to their ending.
In this period of trials we need to bow to Allah the Exalted more than before. Thus do not let deficiency come in your prayers…….Non-Amadiyya Muslims get even with each other by doing oppression for oppression. But Ahmadiyya-Muslims have to respond to each act of oppression by self-immersion in Cry-to-Allah the Exalted through humble and earnest prayers. Hazrat Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) said in a couplet:
Foe, when, in noise and clamor, heightened
Concealed, we, our self, in Hidden-Friend
Thus it is needed;
= to get concealed in Hidden-Friend.
= to produce the condition in self which shake the pillars of Divine throne [metaphor for acceptance of prayer to get Divine help].
= to do such prayers which are unidirectional, not scattered prayers.
As mentioned in the dear’s dream that yet Huzur (a.t.) needed more prayers from Jama'at. To ask Jama'at to do prayers as Jama'at, is for getting success, progress and removal of difficulties of Jama'at….Thus as each of us wants the soon end of period of trials, our flows of prayers should be in the direction that we may get rid of evil of opponents; such prayers are need of the hour.
Hazrat Khalifa tul Messiah V (may Allah be Helper) remembered a message given in a dream of his which he had mentioned in the past. The message was that if Jama'at wants to change the circumstance soon then Jama'at as a Jama'at will have to change its conditions, making them pure for the sake of Allah the Exalted, making their prayers purely for Allah, Jama'at need to bow before Allah to have safety from trials….If such state is obtained that we spend our nights in prayers for Jama'at then the spiritual revolution can come within days after doing prayers of some nights. Otherwise, arrival of this Promised-by-Allah due-revolution and change in circumstances will take at their time…..The message given to Huzur (a.t.) required from the people who attribute themselves to Hazrat Promised Messiah (a.s.) that they must pray with pureness. The impression of message, Huzur (a.t.) perceived in the dream, was that it was for Pakistan’s Ahmadiyya Muslims; no matter they are rich or poor, men or women, they should pay special attention to this because the greatest persecution in the world with respect to Ahmadiyya Islam, is being done in Pakistan….The worldwide Ahmadiyya Muslims, in general, should pay attention to such prayers too because:
= the survival of the world and
= gain of blessings of Allah the Exalted for Muslim Ummah and
= the end of oppression
is attached with the victory of Ahmadiyya Islam.
Thus, may it be the liberation of Palestinians from oppression, or freedom of common Muslims from their cruel rulers, only the prayers of Ahmadiyya Muslims can save the world. They have to pay rights of such prayers as they are the greatest target of oppression. Our prayer can become Prayer-of-the-Distressed [muztar] which can free us from oppression and the humanity too. We need to understand our responsibilities.
Hazrat Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) said: “During the trials, the wonderful and unknown properties and effects of prayers become evident and the truth is that our God is recognized through prayers.”
Today who is being put more in these trials than Ahmadiyya Muslims; in certain Muslim countries? The nobleness of the nobles of these countries have gone dumb, as Hazrat Khalifa tul Messiah III (may Allah have mercy on him) used to say….In such situation, to be enable to get blessings of miraculous prayers, we need to pay special attention. In the above mentioned verse, Allah the Exalted have said so that Look Who listens to the prayers of suffering people? Only Allah the Exalted accepts when they are in the state of being ‘muztar’.
‘muztar’ is a person who sees troubles and trials all around him and he does not see any worldly or physical way for his success. He sees only one way and this is the way that goes to Allah the Exalted……Allah the Exalted says these are muztar who comes towards Me, all worldly ways have been closed for them……… ‘muztar’ does not mean that when no way is seen, panic start in anxiety that where to go…………. ‘muztar’ means when all paths are closed, ray of light is seen on side, and he runs towards that……If fire is seen everywhere, then the one who runs nervously like a unwise, is not a ‘muztar’ because running like this will cause him to fall in fire. But when, after seeing fire everywhere, when he finds a way towards peace and sanctuary, he should go toward that established way, he is called a ‘muztar’……Allah the Exalted says: I save such a person from fire. I am his shelter. I am cool shade Who saves him from heat of fire. Come towards Me and seek My refuge. I will pull you out from these trials. Come to Me with certainty that we have God Who will take us out from this trial, I will take you out from this trial due to your sure trust and your prayers. ---- as Hazrat Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) has said that wonderful and unknown properties and effects will be shown in your favour.
Thus a person who become such a ‘muztar’ who does not consider anyone else except God the Exalted as his place of refuge and savior from these trials, he is the real ‘muztar’...His prayers shows wonders…..To have our prayers answered, we shall have to fill certainty in ourselves that only Allah the Exalted helps in all kinds of states of ‘iztirar’ [distress]; there is no other way than this where we may see ray of light. When such state of distress is developed, Allah the Exalted rushes to such ‘muztar’ to help him according to His Promise and removes his difficulties and troubles; his difficulties are lost in air whether these are personal troubles or troubles related to Jama'at.
Allah the Exalted further says that, not only it will happen: “wa yakshefus su” i.e. and He will remove evil, but when Allah the Exalted grants blessings, His blessings are unlimited; He can increase the blessings to any limit. Thus here when Allah the Exalted tells about removal of troubles of believers, He also said: “yaj-alokum kholafa-al-ard” i.e He makes you successors in the earth…………He destroys terrible oppressors, tyrants and rebellious ones and He makes the oppressed and weak looking ones to sit at their place.
