Summary of Friday Sermon (Nov 10, 2017) ی ا أ ی ھ ا ال ذ ین آم ن وا ك ون وا ق وام ین ب ال ق س ط ش ھ د اء ل ل ھ و ل و ع ل ى أ نف س ك م أ و ال و ال د ی ن و الا ق ر ب ین إ ن ی ك ن غ ن ی ا أ و ف ق یر ا ف الل ھ أ و ل ى ب ھ م ا ف لا ت ت ب ع وا ال ھ و ى أ ن ت ع د ل وا و إ ن ت ل و وا أ و ت ع ر ض وا ف ا ن الل ھ ك ان ب م ا ت ع م ل ون خ ب یر ا [4:136] O ye who believe! Be strict in observing justice, and be witnesses for Allah, even though it be against yourselves 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 well aware of what you do. Allah has enjoined Muslims to establish justice in every matter, but today we see that general Muslim population and scholars are not abiding by this teaching. For example, people tell lies in court [i.e. perjury] in domestic matters to get their rights. This is how corruption spreads in society and justice is overlooked. The claim of Muslims is that we are the best of nations [Khair-e-Ummat], but this can only be the case if we follow the teachings of Islam. As such, irrespective of the situation, the testimony of a believer must always be based on truth and should be given for the sake of Allah. And this can only happen when a person has true faith in God. And he is even willing to testify against himself, his parents and his family. It is sad to see that, from time to time, injustice even takes place amongst us in the matters of Qaza and business dealings. Even those who possess religious knowledge are sometimes guilty of this. We should remember that God cannot be deceived and all our actions will be put forward in front of us on the Day of Judgment. The Promised Messiah (as) has set high standards for us. It is mentioned that in his days of young age, the Promised Messiah (as) gave testimony against his own father in a court case. This was despite the fact that the lawyer had told him he would lose if he gave this testimony. After having lost the
case, the Promised Messiah (as) left the court with such jubilance, as if he had won the case. We should keep such examples in front of us. Some people evade taxes by hiding their income and become a source of disgrace after getting caught. If we act according to the teachings of God, He is the best of Sustainers. Some people lie in matrimonial matters. Some people try to disgrace their ex-husband or ex-wife after divorce. Such matters are against the standards of justice expected of Ahmadi Muslims. Allah has also enjoined Muslims to be just towards their enemies and towards all other nations. Allah says: و لا ی ج ر م ن ك م ش ن ا ن ق و م ع ل ى أ لا إ ن الل ھ خ ب یر ب م ا ت ع م ل ون ی ا أ ی ھ ا ال ذ ین آم ن وا ك ون وا ق وام ین ل ل ھ ش ھ د اء ب ال ق س ط ت ع د ل وا اع د ل وا ھ و أ ق ر ب ل لت ق و ى و ات ق وا الل ھ [5:9] O ye who believe! be steadfast in the cause of Allah, bearing witness in equity; and let not a people s enmity incite you to act otherwise than with justice. Be always just, that is nearer to righteousness. And fear Allah. Surely, Allah is aware of what you do. We should never wrong anyone based on difference of religion. A true believer is he who upholds justice and peace in every matter. The injustices of Muslims are highlighted a lot in the western world; that is, how Muslims are killing each other, and how Muslim rulers are oppressing their own people. Some Muslims even commit atrocities when they come to western countries. They justify such wrongful actions by saying they are taking revenge from the western people, when in fact the real culprits are the Muslim leaders who are behind the oppression. For example, drones and bombings were done with the agreement of local Muslim leaders. This type of thinking only creates further enmities. And it is against the teaching of the Holy Quran, which states that the enmity of a nation should not incite you to be unjust towards them. Unfortunately, the Muslim clerics of today have misguided the Muslim masses. It is our responsibility to
explain the true teachings of Islam and the true character of the Holy Prophet (sa). Once the Holy Prophet (sa) sent some Muslims to spy on the enemies during the time of war. In the sacred area around Kaaba, some people saw these Muslims. Afraid of being exposed, Muslims killed two of the people. People came to the Holy Prophet (sa) to complain about the murders. The Holy Prophet (sa) did not say that you have also been oppressing us [i.e these killings are justified]; rather, he said that you have been wronged, and gave blood-money as per the custom of that time. And the Holy Prophet (sa) severely reprimanded those Muslims. Such are the standards which we must follow. The Promised Messiah (as) was sent to re-establish such standards among Muslims. We cannot do true Tabligh without first establishing such standards of justice amongst us. Otherwise, the world would tell us to first look after our own affairs. May Allah enable us to follow his teachings and may he enable us to become a role-model for others in establishing justice! Huzoor Anwar (aa) announced the funeral prayer of Mukarram Hasan Muhammad Khan sahib, former Naib Wakilut-Tabshir in Pakistan, and a Waqf-e- Zindagi, who held many offices. He was a Musi and had immense passion for Tabligh. He was imprisoned in God s way in 1953. After arrival in Canada, he served as Editor of Ahmadiyya Gazette until 2006.
