Those who are guided to the right path (27th Feb 2009)

Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih Vth in his friday sermon talked about faith inspiring incidents and experiences of some of the righteous people who are guided to the right path.

Huzoor said for the peace and guidance of the world the Living God of Islam sends His special people in every age and grants guidance to pure souls to follow His messengers.

Tufail bin Amr was a wise poet at the time of the Holy Prophet (pbuh) who decided to stay away from Prophet (pbuh) and his God’s message, wanted not to even let his voice reach him. Saying he stuffed cotton wool in his ears. One day he heard the Quranic verses that the Prophet was reciting during his Salat. He found it most fine and requested Prophet (pbuh) to recite more. After hearing those he was extremely moved and accepted Islam.

Huzoor said God continues to guide His chosen people even today and shared the story of the family of a young Christian man who lived in a small island called Rodrigues in Mauritius who accepted Ahmadiyyat. His maternal grandmother had seen the revealing dream and knew Ahmadiyya message was true. Later, when the initiation-bai’at forms were taken, seeing the forms tears welled up in the eyes of the grandmother and said she had seen a dream the previous night in which she had seen the exact papers of the bai’at form.

In Bulgaria a wife accepted Ahmadiyyat but her husband did not. Suddenly he expressed his desire to accept Ahmadiyyat quickly. When asked what the hurry was, he said he had seen Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih V in his dream who had said to him ‘You do not come to us so I have come to you’.

Huzur asked us to recite the Holy prophet’s prayer, who prayed to Allah to grant guidence to his people to accept the truth . May Allah help us to do so. Ameen.
