Divine help and support
Summary of Friday Sermon
delivered by the Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim
Community
July 14th, 2006
Carrying on with the subject of Divine help and
support, today Huzur[aba] based his Friday Sermon on
some incidents of amazing Divine help granted to
followers of the Promised Messiah [as].
Hazoor said indeed Allah’s help comes for His prophets
in extraordinary ways; however after their departure
from this world this help is channelled towards the
community of the prophets in both communal and
individual capacity.
In accordance with the words of the Promised Messiah
[as], after his passing away from this world, when the
‘second manifestation’ of God’s Power materialised in
the form of his 1st Khilafat no doubt the opponents
were crushed. In the era of the 2nd Khilafat we saw
how internal and external opposition was demolished
and Ahmadiyyat went from strength to strength with a
very young yet resolute son of the Messiah at the
helm. The 3rd Khilafat witnessed time of immense
gravity as the opponent tried to quash the hopes of
the Community and in their presumption tried to, as
if, ‘cut off the hands’ of the Community. However,
Allah’s support and help was forthcoming and it so
happened that the opponent did not just have his hands
cut off, rather even his neck was cut off.
In the 4th Khilafat, an apparent ploy was used that
seemed to confine and restrict Ahmadiyyat from every
which way and which was designed for its natural
ending. However, in accordance with numerous Divine
revelations of the Promised Messiah [as] Allah helped
the rightly guided Khalifa of the Messiah and the
enemy was left totally disappointed. On the contrary,
in fulfilment of the revelation ‘I shall take your
message to the corners of the earth’ so many avenues
were opened up that the enemy was but left frustrated.
After the passing away of Khalifa tul Masih IV the
opponents were hopeful in that the zenith had been
reached; now it was time for the decline. They were
foolishly unaware of Allah’s plans and of the fact
that the triumph of His Messiah would not end with
their wishes or their endeavours, nor is this triumph
affiliated to a time or a to a certain person, rather
it is affiliated to the Promised Messiah [as] and his
Community and no force can ever stop it.
Huzur[aba] explained that Allah demonstrates His help
and succour on individual basis to those who lead
their lives in accordance to His teachings and in
obedience to the Holy Prophet saw, who are firm in
their Salat, make financial sacrifice and obey the
institution of Khilafat. With reference to help
extended to the people of the Community of the
Promised Messiah [as] Huzur[aba] said indeed it is a
proof of his truth and is also a source of
strengthening the faith of the believers.
Huzur[aba]related several incidents experienced by
holy and pious Ahmadis.
Once, Hadrat Maulana Ghulam Rasul Rajiki went to a
nearby village for Tabligh purposes. On his way back
he wrote a few of his Punjabi poetic verses relating
to the advent of the Promised Messiah on the veranda
of the local mosque. A couple of village elders saw
the poetic verses and decided to send seven strong
young men to chase Maulana Rajiki and bring him back
so that he could be made to erase the verses from the
wall and later be killed. However, Maulana Rajiki
reached home safely. When he came to know of the
opponents plan he prayed most fervently in Salat
fearing that those people would stop him from Tabligh
of the Messiah. He felt drowsy and fell asleep on the
prayer mat where Allah revealed to him that no one
could stop him from Tabligh and that one of the two
opposing men would be killed on the 11th day from
then. The next day Maulana Rajiki went and told
everyone of this and said that no one could avert this
fate. People were left stunned. Indeed, after a short
illness, the man died exactly on the 11th day.
Maulana Nazir Ahmad Mubasher relates about his time in
Ghana that a young man, on his return from Makkah,
began giving himself airs and graces and started
opposing Ahmadiyyat. Efforts of reasoning and debate
did not work with him and his associates took out a
rally in the local tradition of the triumphant side,
asserting that the Messiah had not come as there had
been no earthquake to signal his coming! The Mualana
prayed for a week most fervently, making supplications
for an earthquake to take place that would be a sign
of the advent of the Messiah. He had full conviction
that the sign would appear, so he organised three
gatherings and made an announcement that an earthquake
would definitely occur. Only two of the three
gatherings had taken place when a huge earthquake hit
the entire country of Ghana which left people
astonished – as a result 180 people from the village
came into Ahmadiyyat.
Huzur[aba] related an incident of Divine help for
Sheikh Zain ul Abideen Sahib and Hafiz Hamid Ali Sahib
as they travelled to Africa on a sailing ship; the
ship faced a storm and the captain of the ship
announced the grave and critical situation. Yet they
were convinced that the ship would not sink as it
carried “two disciples of the Promised Messiah”.
Against all odds the ship reached their destination,
however, once they had disembarked the ship sailed on
and was destroyed near Zanzibar.
During the Second World War, Mualana Sadiq Sahib was
stationed in Jawa.indonesia and was wrongly accused
and sentenced for the crime of murder. He prayed most
fervently and saw a vision which foretold him of the
end of the Japanese power. With just ten days
remaining for his wrongful execution, the cities of
Hiroshima and Nagasaki were bombed and thus the matter
ended.
While in Fiji, Sheikh Wahid Sahib and the Community
met fierce opposition and the opponents set fire to a
building of the mission, which miraculously did not do
much damage despite the building being of timber. The
missionary in charge remarked, ‘may Allah set fire to
the house of whoever had set fire to the centre of
Allah’. A few days later the residence of the leader
of the opponents caught fire.
A similar sort of incident relates that when fire
raged around the timber house of Maulana Ghulam
Hussein burning things down he reportedly said ‘do not
worry, the Promised Messiah had received a revelation
that ‘fire is our slave and the slave of our slaves’.
Allah heard the call of His helpless servant and his
house was protected.
Huzur[aba] related further incidents demonstrating
Divine help about Maulana Rajiki and Maulana Nazir
Ahmad Mubasher as well as incidents relating to
Muhammad Sadiq Sahib from Indonesia, Mualana Muhammad
Sadeeq Sahib Amritsari and Maula Buksh Sahib.
Huzur[aba] said that in this age we see people who
truly hold onto the commandments of Allah only in the
Community of the Promised Messiah and these are the
very people that the Promised Messiah [as] had prayed
to have in his Community.
In conclusion Huzur[aba] prayed that may Allah
continue to bless the Community of the Promised
Messiah as with people who excel in sincerity; people
whose lives are a testimony to Divine help and succour
and who, buoyed by Allah’s beneficence, are helpful
and supportive towards the perpetuity of the Ahmadiyya
Khilafat.

Five Prominent Signs of Divine Help
Summary of Friday Sermon
delivered by the Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim
Community
July 7th, 2006
Huzur[aba] delivered his Friday Sermon on five
prominent Signs of Divine help and succour granted to
the Promised Messiah [as] when his opponents tried to
disgrace him.
These were five incidents when the enemy had used its
maximum resources and tried its utmost to bring harm
to the Promised Messiah [as] but each time the
Promised Messiah [as] was Divinely informed in advance
that he would prevail and that no harm would come to
him.
The first incident was that of a Dr. Martin Clark
filing a murder court case/lawsuit against the
Promised Messiah [as]. Prior to this event the
Promised Messiah as had received several forceful
revelations and a vision of Divine support. The
incident came about when a few associates of a Dr.
Martin Clark coached a person called Abdul Hameed to
report that the Promised Messiah [as] had sent him to
murder Dr. Clark and had threatened him with
imprisonment if he failed to do so. Abdul Hameed
complied and filed the report, as a result an arrest
warrant was issued for the Promised Messiah [as].
Huzur[aba] read out the text of this arrest warrant.
This warrant was issued from the city of Amritsir
which is only 35 miles from Qadian. However, in
accordance to Divine promise Allah protected the
Promised Messiah [as]. Six days after the issue of the
warrant the authorities in Amritsir realised that an
error had been made in that an arrest warrant could
not be issued if the suspect was from outside the
district. Had the warrant been issued as it was
intended to the Promised Messiah [as] writes that he
would have had to endure the humiliation of arrest.
By Divine design the magistrate of nearby Gurdaspur
deemed that an arrest warrant was not needed and that
sending a ‘summon’ was adequate.
The maulwis were quite eager to behold the spectacle
of an arrest, which did not materialise; they had also
come to the court case. However, at the court the
magistrate was most polite and courteous to the
Promised Messiah [as] and offered him a chair to sit
on and said that he did not believe in the allegation.
On the contrary, when the maulwis asked for chairs to
sit on they were rebuked.
Abdul Hameed confessed that he had been coached by Dr.
Martin’s Christian associates, the magistrate wrote a
forceful letter and acquitted the Promised Messiah
[as]. Each of these happenings had been foretold to
the Promised Messiah as through various revelations.
Citing the writing of someone from outside the Jama’at
Huzur[aba] told of the way the magistrate, who was a
Deputy Commissioner named Captain Douglas was Divinely
told of the facts. He saw clear visions in which an
angel informed him that Mirza Sahib was innocent,
furthermore he saw the Promised Messiah [as] himself
repeatedly maintaining his innocence. So much so that
that Captain Douglas thought he was going to lose his
mind. His colleague, a Superintendent was called for
who advised to remove Abdul Hameed from the care of
the priests and sent in the custody of the police;
this did not avail. Eventually, the Superintendent
himself questioned Abdul Hameed at which he broke down
and confessed to the truth of being coached by others
and thus the Promised Messiah [as] was exonerated.
The second Sign of Divine help was the incident of
Maulwi Muhammad Hussein Batalwi bringing criminal
proceedings against the Promised Messiah [as] alleging
that he intended to have him killed.
Maulwi Batalwi had based this on an incident of a
Mubahala (prayer duel). Hindus and Christians had come
to his help as well and a huge case was prepared
against the Promised Messiah [as] with the opponents
leaving no stone unturned in their efforts. Yet the
Promised Messiah [as] was calm and serene as he had
been Divinely informed that he would be exonerated.
Huzur[aba] explained that the Promised Messiah [as]
has detailed the vision he saw with reference to this
incident in his book ‘Haqiqa tul Mahdi’. He was
Divinely assured that God would help him and the
authorities would be given insight and enlightenment
to reach the facts. On the day of the verdict the
Promised Messiah [as] went to Gurdaspur with his
friends; while the maulwis were gloating to see their
schemes come to fruition the Promised Messiah [as]
knew that the callous authorities had been mellowed.
The case that had been most laboriously prepared by
the police was dropped and dismissed; in fact the
judge commented that the Promised Messiah [as] had
every right to seek help from the court as regards the
defamatory words used for him by Maulwi Batalwi, who
in turn was told to desist from slander.
The third incident was regarding Maulwi Karam Din
Jehlami who had written some letters which the
Promised Messiah [as] published in his book ‘Nazul e
Masih’ as well as the editor of a publication of the
Jama’at entitled ‘Al Hakm’ had them published in it.
Maulwi Karam Din later maintained that he had not
written those letters and that they were bogus, he
also said that everything to do with Mirza Sahib was
fake. The Promised Messiah [as] did not seek legal
action in the hope that a refutation might be
forthcoming.
However, when after three months no refutation was
given others filed a complaint. The situation got
further complex and yet another complaint was filed.
In response Karam Din filed a case in the court of the
Assistant Commissioner of Jehlam. Warrants were issued
and summons to the court were sent. However, the case
was in its initial stages when it reached a positive
outcome. Huzur[aba] read out several of the
revelations given to the Promised Messiah [as] and
told of the time when he went to Jehlam for the court
case he was met by ten thousand people there, which
left the authorities astonished. Many of these people
took their pledge of allegiance (Bai’at) and others
had brought gifts and offerings and indeed the court
case was dismissed.
The fourth incident also relates to Maulwi Karam Din
where he filed another court case in Gurdaspur and was
most hopeful for success this time. However Allah
informed the Promised Messiah [as] of the pain the
authorities would go through. This manifested in two
sons of a person in authority dying. The case was
taken to the court of the divisional judge from where
the Promised Messiah [as] was comprehensively
exonerated.
The last and fifth incident relates to Lekh Ram who
had been blasphemous about the Holy Prophet [saw] and
on being Divinely informed, the Promised Messiah [as]
had made a prediction of the manner Lekh Ram would
meet his end, which despite many precautions taken by
Lekh Ram, he could not avoid. After his murder, due to
the prediction, the Promised Messiah [as] was held in
suspicion and his house was searched but the police
could not find a shred of evidence. Huzur[aba]
explained that at the time the police arrived to
search his house the Promised Messiah [as] was reading
a copy of his book ‘Siraj e Munir’ which states that
he would go through a trial like that of Hadhrat
Masih. Anyhow, the Superintendent of police arrived
with his men and surrounded the house, but the
Promised Messiah [as] remained calm and tranquil.
He let the police in the house and told them to search
to their satisfaction. A painstaking search was
carried out of the entire house; a congratulatory
letter written to the Promised Messiah [as] at the
death of Lekh Ram was found by the police. Rather than
be fazed by it he went and brought a bundle of similar
letters for the police to look at. The police
eventually returned without any evidence.
In conclusion Huzur[aba] said there are numerous other
Signs in support of the Promised Messiah [as] which
are faith-inspiring, he prayed that may Allah ever
increase us in our faith.
