Peace be on you.
Allah sends Messengers / Prophets to give life to humanity. He sends manuals of peaceful living through them. Earlier, He made human through the process of creation and guided evolution as Holy Quran explains. The purpose was that human should attain love of Allah by paying His rights and rights of His Creation.
As the time passes, human gravitate morally and forget Divine teachings. Then Allah revives:
“O ye who believe! Respond to Allah and the Messenger when
He calls you that
He may give you life……” (Holy Quran chapter 8 : verse 25)
The verse can also be translated as:
“O ye who believe! Respond to Allah and the Messenger when
he calls you that
he may give you life……” (Holy Quran chapter 8 : verse 25)
The reason is that Messengers say the same as Allah tells to them.
What is happening in current Muslim world, does one see any life-giving process? They are collapsing, there are internal stand offs and feuds, they are being fooled by external powers, they are cutting throats. Are they getting or giving life to themselves or to the world?
The loud and clear anwser is NO.
Why?
Lets us analyse the phenomenon at the base.
At the culmination of religions evolution, religious message was made perfect at Holy Quran and Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be on him). Uniquely, it is very much explicitly stated in Holy Quran.
Chapter 62 verse 3, tells that Holy Prophet was sent to misguided people. They were truly representative of all kind of ignorance of the time. There were other religions too there in Arabia, but in much moral decay:
"He it is Who has raised among the unlettered people a Messenger from among themselves who recites unto them His verses, purifies them, and teaches the the Book and wisdom, although the had been, before, in manifest misguidance." (62:3)
When Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h.) trained the fallen ones, they became pure hearted, organized and life givers, they excelled in education and science alongwith spirituality, this state remained for times. Misguided became Righteous with the prayer, touch and training of Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h.).
The very same Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h.) was told by Allah that in latter days, his followers would reach to utmost spiritual decay, their mosques would become source of all troubles, their religious leaders would become worst of the creation under the heavens, so on and so forth. This is well known description in prominent books of sayings of Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h.) like, Bhukhari, Muslim, Ibeney Majah...
Muslim countries are having such symptoms since 1900 plus minus. Day by day they are progressing but in collapse and decay.
Then what about the claims that Islam is universal, Islam is for all, Islam is forever, Islam is for peace? Islam gives life, Islam teaches how to live? Islam teaches to be good with other religions ??????????????
The claim is really true.
The Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h.), being the Best and Last-Prophet-with-Religious-Law, gave a real hope and said about coming of an ardent devotee of him who would revive faith. Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h.) gave the titles to this servant as: Jesus, Messiah, Mahdi, Prophet.
This personality is mentioned in Holy Quran as :
"And
among other form among them, who have not yet joined them. he is Mighty, Wise' (62:4)
Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h.) was asked about this verse, he remained silent. He was asked three times. Then he explained that when faith would ascend to Pleiades [become weak] one of his devotee would bring it back. [Bhukhari]........Obviously the Holy Prophet was foretelling of revival of Islam by a Reformer.
It is not coincidence that Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h.) also said that after him there would be righteous Khilafat [it came true as four righteous Khalifah-s came], the there would two kind of cruel kingship [it also came true along the Islamic history, but even then, true Islam remained alive through local righteous Reformers (Mujadid-s),
then Holy Prophet said, Khilafat-on-the-precept-of-Prophethood would come. [Musnad Ahmad, Mish'kaat]
Keeping all above discussion in mind, the last sentence of above paragraph and the verse mentioned in the beginning are vital.
1-Now without coming of subordinate-Prophet-to-Holy-Prophet (pbuh)
[Khilafat-on-the-precept-of-Prophethood], Khilafat cannot be established.
2-When it comes, it has to give life to people.
[as said Khilafat has to serve Prophethood, “O ye who believe! Respond to Allah and the Messenger when He calls you that He may give you life……” (Holy Quran chapter 8 : verse 25) ]
As prophesied, Allah has sent the Promised Reformer and those who accepted him, are progressing and giving life to others. They present life giving Islam, they serve humanity and they give life. There is no other remedy now and will ever have for revival.
The Promised Revival, Ahmadiyya Muslim community USA chapter has just concluded their 66 the Annual spiritual Convention.
