Sufficient is Allah as a Friend, Sufficent is Allah as a Helper (Jan 30th 2009)

Huzoor delivered his Friday sermon on Allah being sufficient for those who are from God and explained in greater detail how God helped Promised Messiah (on whom be peace), same way as He helped Holy Prophet (Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).

Promised Messiah (On whom be peace) came with Divine revelations, which was not supported and believed by many, but rather than siezing him God manifested hundreds of signs to support his truthfulness to the mankind. Every time he was in danger Allah with His great help protected him.

Huzur said, even after passing away of Promised Messiah (on whom be peace ),whenever their was a danger , Allah’s help came and the Community was saved from any bad consequences of enmity. Despite opposition and restrictions the Community continues to spread.

Huzoor said this prevails because Allah’s help is with us and this is a Sign of the Living God of Islam which is evident all the time, which each Ahmadi feels and the world also senses.

When God, sends His servants to this world to propagate His message, He assures them in every way and declares to them saying ‘Is not Allah sufficient for His servant?’ (39:37). He also states: ‘And Allah knows your enemies fully well. And sufficient is Allah as a Friend, and sufficient is Allah as a Helper.’ (4:46). Ameen.

Is not Allah sufficient for His servant?

Todays Friday sermon Huzoor continued explaining about God being sufficient for His servant, especially for His chosen ones like prophets and messengers who brings God revealed message to the mankind.

Huzoor said one who is appointed by God is truthful, in the message he brings and indeed in his word. The message he brings is from Allah and is strengthened and supported with evidence with God's help.

Allah states that He is sufficient for His servant. Servant implies, the true servant of Allah who are perfectly obedient to Him. Who proclaims to be helper of Allah. Who worship Him. Who glorifies Him. Who have great sense of honour for Him and Who love Him most dearly.

Allah sent a true and ardent devotee of Holy prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) , the Promised messiah ( on whom be peace ) to present the beauty of Islam in enhanced manner, reviving the old teaching so that, those who are lost may be brought closer to God.

Allah revealed the Quranic verse of ‘Is not Allah sufficient for His servant?’ (39:37 ) many times to Promised messiah whenever he went through difficult times.

Al-Kaafi - The sufficient (16th Jan 2009)

Today's Friday sermon Huzoor talked about one of the divine attribute of Allah called Al-Kaafi means the sufficient. Allah is the one who suffices. No being other than Him, the mighty God, is sufficient for His creation. To make us realise this ultimate truth, God wants us to purify ourselves and strengthen our faith, by following His commandments given time to time to the mankind.

Huzoor narrated Hadiths which about the prayer in Quran (2:286,287) and said these prayers will protect us from evil and help us progress in our faith.We should make our faith in God much stronger by believing in Allah, His angels, His books and all His messengers.

By understanding the commandments given by God and following them in practice in our daily lives we purify ourselves. The more we strengthen our faith , more righteous we become and much closer we become to God Almighty to feel that He is sufficient for us.

May Allah enable us to do so . Ameen

Giving in the way of Allah (9th Jan 2009)

Today's Friday sermon ,Huzoor presented the duties of Muslims in terms of financial sacrifice in view of Quranic teachings.

" As to the men who give alms, and the women who give alms, and those who lend to Allah a goodly loan- it will be increased manifold for them, and theirs will also be an honorable reward (57;19)".

Promised messiah (as) said God does not need money, but He takes it upon Himself to reward and express His love for such people who make sacrifices in the way of God. The sacrifice made purely for the sake of God is greatly valued in God's eyes.

God tests by giving and then wishes to see how that wealth is spent. If spent in the way of God rewards are reaped abundantly. But the one who forget God and spends on luxurious unwanted wordly things then it becomes all temporary and way to despair aand reap only punishment from God.

Huzoor announced the begining of new Waaq-fe -Jadid year, and contributions made last year by all Ahmadiyya Jamaats around the world. Huzoor prayed that may Allah cause the wealth of all those who made sacrifices to increase and enable us to supplicate and accept our humble prayers. Ameen.

Durood and Supplication way to peace (2nd Jan 2009)

Today's first Friday sermon of the new year 2009, Huzoor said that, this Friday marks two new years – new year in the Gregorian Calendar which is a solar calendar and a new year in the Hijrah Calendar of Islam – which is a lunar calendar. This dual new year happening first time in the second century of Ahmadiyya Khilafat marks a great importance for us Ahmadies.

Allah completed the revelation of the guidance -the Holy Quran, to the mankind during the time of Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). Now is the time for completion of the propagation of this guidance.

We Ahmadis being the "Khairum Ummat - The blessed community ", we are responsible for this task. Huzoor wants us to purify ourselves and then cleanse those around us also in this purity of knowledge of the Holy Quran.

The Holy prophet (Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came to the world as a messenger of peace and unity. To save the muslim world from fighting each other and create peace on the planet earth we should recite Durood Shareef and invoke blessings on the Holy prophet (pbuh) and his ummah abundantly.

Reciting Durood often makes our humble prayers accepted by God Almighty.May Allah help us to do so. Ameen.
