At the heavenly sign of solar and lunar eclipse in 1894, The Promised Messiah, peace be upon him,

prophesied:

"The foundation stone of the Renaissance of Islam and a superior world order have been laid. Now,

mosques will be built and people will enter them, and join the Divine Movement in hordes." (Noorul Haq,

Vol. 2, p. 42)

After this prophecy, The Promised Messiah, peace be upon him, forcefully appealed and he said:

"Our Jama'at needs a lot of mosques. It is a house of God. Whichever village or town can build it, should

build it. It should be well understood that (in that town) foundation of the progress of Jama'at is also laid

with it."

Every soul shall taste of death. And you shall be paid in full your rewards

only on the Day of Resurrection. So whosoever is removed away from the

Fire and is made to enter Heaven has indeed attained his goal. And the life

of this world is nothing but an illusory enjoyment. (3:186)

A companion of The Holy Prophet sa relates: One day we were sitting with The

Holy Prophet sa when this chapter was revealed. I enquired from

Muhammad sa. Who are the people to whom the words and among others of

them who have not yet joined them refer? Salman ra, a Persian was sitting

among us. The Holy Prophet sa put his hand on Salman ra and said.If faith were

to go up to the Pleiades, a man from among these would surely find it.

(Bukhari).

On 6 March 2015 Hazrat Khalīfatul-Masīh V(May Allāh be his Helper) delivered the Friday Sermon at Baitul Futuh Mosque, London UK

Generally speaking the root cause of every badness or sin lies in not making any effort to

avoid it by considering such action unnecessary, although this very carelessness leads to

bigger sins. Man gradually forgets virtues and the standards that are expected of a believer.

Fear of God diminishes and one's belief in the Hereafter also weakens. In practice one

becomes distant from the requisites of faith. The aforementioned Quranic verses draw

attention to this subject. One is reminded not to merely be concerned with the interests,

comforts and connections of this world.

If families that ruin their home lives over small, trivial matters reflected on commandments of

God and also practised them, not only would they be guarantors of peaceful family life they

would also be adorning the future of their children. Families that are ruining their homes over

trivial worldly matters should reflect and ponder over this. Your next generation does not only

belong to you, it is also an asset of the Jama'at and the nation.

Hazrat Khalifatul Masih I(ra) said that a believer should first think of the consequences of any

task that he embarks upon. When enraged man is given to murderous tendencies and is also

verbally abusive. But he should reflect over the consequences of this conduct. Reflecting over

the consequences will lead him to abide by righteousness. All badness or evil stems from the

fact that we have Satan in our thoughts/mind and we do whatever we do without giving any

thought to the consequences of the matter.

We need to instil the belief that God watches every act of ours and we also need to instil the

belief that every kind of deception, no matter how insignificant we may consider it to be, or

any sloth or indolence on our part is not liked by God. By asking believers to look for what one

sends for the morrow God has commanded us to abide by righteousness in family matters, in

business matters to matters of national and international scope.

When Hazrat Khalifatul Masih visited Kenya he met with a politician who related to him that

he had also met Hazrat Khalifatul Masih IV(rh) who had advised him something which had

proved very beneficial. The advice was to think before doing anything that God is watching

you and that He also has a record of everything one does. Perhaps this person was Christian.

If he could benefit from this advice, how much more beneficial would the advice be for a true

believer who has been enjoined by God to follow it.

Signs of latter days in the Holy Quran & Hadith Surah

Al-Takwir 81: 1-20 Also 48: 29; 61:7 mentions about the latter days. Holy Prophet’s Second

manifestation through his deputy has been predicted in the latter days in Surah Jumu'ah Ch.62:3-

4. It reads: “He it is Who has raised among the unlettered people a Messenger from among

themselves who recites unto them His Signs, and purifies them, and teaches them the Book and

Wisdom though before that they were in manifest error; And He will raise him among others of

them who have not yet joined them. He is the Mighty, the Wise.” In a Hadith pertaining to these

verses Hadhrat Abu Hurairah narrates: when Surah Jumu'ah was revealed to the Holy Prophet (sa)

we happened to be there in his company. When he recited the verse 'And there are others from

among them who have not yet joined them', (Ch.62, v.4) one of those present asked “ Who are

they 0 Messenger of Allah?' The Holy Prophet (sa) did not pay any attention. The man repeated

the question two or three times. At that time Salman, the Persian was also sitting among us. The

Holy Prophet, (sa) turned to him, placed his hand on him and said 'even if faith ascended to the

Pleiades, there would be one man from his people who would restore faith (back) to earth.'

(Bukhari). 3

Three Best centuries After Muhammad

Islam will have three centuries of greatness after which, it will ascend back to the heaven for a

thousand years. (Bukhari, vol. 4). Islam will remain in its name only The Holy Prophetsaw has said:

“There will be a decline in religious faith and nothing would be left of Islam except its name and

nothing would be left of the Holy Quran except its text. Mosques though full of worshippers will be

empty of guidance. The religious scholars will be the worst creation under the canopy of Heaven.

(Mishkat-ul Masabih, p.88 & Kanaz-ul Ummal, vol.6 p.43). The Holy Prophetsaw has said that the

Messiah will be raised in the East. (Ibn Majah). An other Hadith says: The Mahdi will descend near

a white minaret in the east of Damascus. (Muslim).

Mahdi in India Reported by Hazrat Anasra that The Holy Prophetsaw said that a group will fight in India. They will

be with The Mahdi whose name will be Ahmad ( Bukhari has narrated it in his history). Holy

Prophet (saw) has said that there will be two parties in my People whom Allah has saved from fire

one of them will fight in India and the other party will be with Isa bin Maryam (as) Musnad Ahmad

bin Humbal vol 5 Page 78 and Nasai Vol 2 Page 52 Bab Ghazwatul Hind) The Holy Prophet (saw)

has said that People will rise from the east who would inform about the place of Mahdi who would

be their leader that is to say that they will support him and will assist him in his task” (Bihaarul

Anwaar Vol 13 Page 21 and Abu Daud Vol 2 Bab Khoroojil Mahdi and Ibn Maja printed in Cairo

The Divine guidance about leadership in the latter days

“When the voice of the

Khalifatul Massih reaches the

Ahmadis around the world

through MTA then we must

follow his advice, otherwise we

will fall short of our pledge of

bai’at.” (Friday sermon 22 June 2012)

TABLIGH TRIP

“I would also hereby like to

question those people or

organisations who claim that

Islam is a religion of violence on

the basis of the atrocities of the

extremist groups. I would ask

them to consider how these

groups are able to acquire such

funds that allow them to continue

their extremist activities and

warfare for so long? How do they

acquire such sophisticated

weapons? Do they have arms

industries or factories?

It is quite obvious that they are

receiving the help and support of

certain powers. This could be

direct support from very oil-rich

states or it could be other major

powers covertly providing assistance.”

“The funding of these groups is a major problem because it is through these

funds that they are able to prey on vulnerable groups or individuals… Thus

something has to be done to stop the funding of these groups urgently. The

West has now started to realise and acknowledge that this is a war that is

actually directly affecting it as well. However, this too is under-estimation – the

truth is that this is a war against the entire world.”
