IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, RAHMAN, RAHIM
The Month of RAMADAN in which was REVEALED
1. The QUR'AN, a guidance for mankind,
2. AND THE MANIFEST PROOFS OF GUIDANCE -
WA BAYYINAATIM MINAL HUDAA,
3. And the FURQAN (HQ. 2:185)
-------------
Salaamun alaykum and Ya Ali Madad,
Navroz Mubarak to all my Ismaili Brethren.
On this, the most Holy and Auspicious occasion of NAVROZ
in ISLAM and
the Ismaili Tariqah,
I would like to repost the following message because its
overall significance in THE ESOTERIC ISLAM -- (SHIA TRADITION AND
SUFISM) is directly relevant and connected to each other.
Happy birthday to every lucky Navroz like myself, around the world.
Salaam and Ya Ali Madad
Navroz
March 21
---------
Please take a moment out of your precious life and time and reflect
on the
above verse of the Holy Qur'an and the meaning of Ramadan (&
NAVROZ) in
Islam and your life. Frankly, it is not enough to go hungry from dawn
to
dusk during this Holy Month (&
HOLY DAY) without understanding its real
meaning and significance.
The Holy Qur'an:
030.027 He it is Who produceth creation, then reproduceth it, and it
is
easier for Him. HIS IS THE SUBLIME SIMILITUDE [MASALUL A'LAA]
in the heavens and the earth. He is the Mighty, the Wise [WA HUWAL
AZIIZUL-HAKIIM].
030.030 So set thy FACE [WAJHAKA] (O Muhammad) for religion as
a man by
nature upright [FII DINNI HANIIFAA] - the NATURE of Allah [FITRAT
ALLAAHI], in which He hath ORIGINATED MAN [FATARAN-NAASA
ALAYHAA]. There is no altering Allah's creation [KHALQILLAAH].
That is
the right religion [ZAALIKAD-DIINUL--QAYYIMU], but most men
know not -
030.031 Turning UNTO HIM [ILAYHI]; and be careful of your duty
unto Him and
establish worship, and be not of those who ascribe partners;
030.050 Look, therefore, at the prints of Allah's mercy: how He quickeneth
the earth after her death. Lo! He verily is the Quickener of the
Dead, and
He is Able to do all things [WA HUWA 'ALAA KULLI SHAY-IN QADIIR].
-----
036.012 Lo! We it is Who bring the DEAD TO LIFE. We record that
which they
send before (them, and their footprints. _AND_ EVERYTHING HAVE WE
VESTED IN THE IMAM [Who is] MANIFEST [_WA_ KULLA SHAY-IN
AHSAYNAAHU FII IMAAMIM MUBIIN].
--------------
Elsewhere, the Qur'an says that the RASUL WAS 'BAYYINAH -
MANIFEST PROOF' (98:2,3). If so, WHO WERE THE OTHER
'BAYYINAATIM--MANIFEST PROOFS' OF GUIDANCE
revealed with Him, the Qur'an and the FURQAN in the month of
Ramadhan (2:185)? Think about this.
Islam is a Diin of Allah and way of life! There in no contradiction
or
dichotomy between *Matter and Spirit* in Islam. Says the Holy
Qur'an:
023.068 Have they not pondered the WORD, or hath that come
unto
them which came not unto their fathers of old ?
023.069 Or know they not their messenger, and so reject him ?
023.070 Or say they: There is a madness in him ? Nay, but he
bringeth
them the Truth; and most of them are haters of the Truth.
-----------------
SURAH NOOR MADE OBLIGATORY UPON ALL MUSLIMS!
024.001 a Surah which We have revealed and enjoined -- Suuratun
anzalnaahaa wa faraznaahaa -- and wherein We have revealed MANIFEST
PROOFS--fiihaa AAYAATIM--BAYYINAATIN, that haply ye may take
heed.
024.034 And verily We have sent down for you REVELATIONS MAKING
MANIFEST--AAYAATIM--MUBAYYINAATINW, and the example of those
who passed away before you. An admonition unto those who ward off (evil).
024.035 ALLAH is the NUUR-LIGHT of the heavens and the
earth. The
SIMILITUDE OF --MASALU NUURIHII--HIS LIGHT is as a niche wherein
is a lamp. The lamp is in a glass. The glass is as it were a
shining star. (This lamp
is) kindled from a blessed tree, an olive neither of the East nor of
the
West, whose oil would almost glow forth (of itself) though no fire
touched
it. NUURUN ALAA NUUR--LIGHT UPON LIGHT. Allah guideth unto
NUURIHII -- HIS LIGHT whom He will. And Allah speaketh to mankind
in
allegories, for Allah is Knower of all things.
024.036 (This lamp is found) in houses which Allah hath allowed
to be
exalted and that His name shall be remembered therein. Therein
do offer
praise to Him at morn and evening.
-----------
Please note that Allah had Revealed *5--FIVE NUURS--LIGHTS* IN ISLAM:
1.
ALLAH is the NUUR-LIGHT*;
2. The SIMILITUDE OF --MASALU NUURIHII--
HIS LIGHT* is as;
3/4.
NUURUN ALAA NUUR--LIGHT* UPON LIGHT*;
5. NUURIHII--HIS LIGHT*;
----------------
In addition to the above, the Holy Prophet (SAS) has been
declared as the
Siraajam Muniiraa -- A Lamp (like the Sun) giving light -- HQ.
33:46.
Further, the meaning of the above stupendous verses is explained
like so
beginning at Surah al-Fatihah:
Surah 1.
001.005 Thee we worship; Thee we ask for help.
001.006 Show us the STRAIGHT PATH--SIRATAAL MUSTAQIIM,
001.007 The path of those......SIRAATAL-LAZIINA
--------
QUESTIONS:
1. Whose Path is the Straight
Path--SIRAATAL MUSTAQIIM?
2. And *WHOSE* Path is *the
Path of THOSE--SIRAATAL-
LAZIINA*?
3. Who are *THOSE WHOM* Allah
has EXALTED unto Himself
and joined in His Worship and also asked the Muslims to do likewise?
4. WHY does Allah Himself guide
the Muslims to their Path and not to
His?
5. Was not the Holy Prophet (SAS)
guided to this Path as well?
See HQ. 93:6,7; 6:162; 16:120-123. Use only Surah al-Fatihah to
answer
these questions. And now this:
Surah 2.
002.027 Those who break the covenant of Allah after ratifying
it, and sever
*MAA--HE WHO/THAT* [which] Allah ordered to be joined *BIHII--
TO HIM* and make mischief in the earth: Those are they who are
the losers.
---------
QUESTIONS:
So WHAT OR WHO did Allah COMMAND to be JOINED *BIHII--TO
HIM*?
Well, the answer is also GIVEN by Allah Himself? It is *MAA--HE
WHO/THAT*.
a.
What is THAT or WHO IS HE?
b.
Was it the Holy Prophet (SAS)?
c.
Or, was it Hzt. Ali (as)?
The answer is right here!!!
Surah 109
109.003
YUSUFALI: Nor will ye worship MAA--THAT which *I w-o-r-s-h-i-p.*
PICKTHAL: Nor worship ye MAA--THAT which *I w-o-r-s-h-i-p.*
SHAKIR: Nor do you serve MAA--HIM WHOM *I s-e-r-v-e.*
-------
According to the Allah's Revelation, the Holy Qur'an, *MAA
is HIM WHOM*
-- the Holy Prophet and Messenger of Allah (SAS) *W-O-R-S-H-I-P-P-E-D*.
As such, the Holy Prophet (SAS) is not the one meant in HQ. 2:27.
QUESTIONS:
a. Who or what is *MAA* then?
b. Is not *MAA* ALLAH Himself
according to this verse?
c. Is this not the same *MAA*
mentioned in HQ. 2:27 - *HIM WHOM/that
which* Allah COMMANDED to joined *BIHII--TO HIM*?
109.004
YUSUFALI: And I will not worship that which ye have been wont
to worship,
PICKTHAL: And I shall not worship that which ye worship.
SHAKIR: Nor am I going to serve that which you serve,
109.005
YUSUFALI: Nor will ye worship MAA--THAT which *I w-o-r-s-h-i-p.*
PICKTHAL: Nor will ye worship MAA--WHICH *I w-o-r-s-h-i-p.*
SHAKIR: Nor are you going to serve MAA--HIM WHOM *I s-e-r-v-e.*
---------------
According to the Allah's Revelation, the Holy Qur'an, *MAA
is HIM WHOM* -
the Holy Prophet and Messenger of Allah (SAS) *W-O-R-S-H-I-P-P-E-D*.
As such, the Holy Prophet (SAS) is not the one meant in HQ. 2:27.
QUESTIONS:
a. Who or what is *MAA* then?
b. Is not *MAA* ALLAH Himself
according to this verse?
c. Is this not the same *MAA*
mentioned in HQ. 2:27 - *HIM WHOM/that
which* Allah COMMANDED to joined *BIHII--TO HIM*?
Moreover, at the end of His prophetic mission the Holy Prophet
(SAS) was
commanded to proclaim *Maa--HE Whom--That* -- which had been
revealed
unto Him from his Lord!
Now did He reveal the Holy Qur'an all over again to His followers?
It is
said that He passed away in less than 3 months thereafter. So,
did He
reveal it within that period in accordance with this command?
If so, why
did Allah Himself take 23 years to reveal it for Muslims?
005.067 O Messenger! *Ballig Maa -- Proclaim He Who -- that*
which hath
been revealed unto thee from thy Lord, for if thou do it not,
thou wilt not
have conveyed His message. Allah will protect thee from mankind.
Lo! Allah
guideth not the disbelieving folk.
---------
Think about this and may Allah guide all Muslims to the Truth
in Islam!

Muslim Parliament,

BY REGISTERED MAIL
Dear Honorable Speaker, Members of Parliament
and my Brothers in Islam
As Salaamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullaahi
RE: *MANIFEST SHIRK* ISMAILI FIDAIS & AGA KHAN
The Holy Month of Ramadhan is here again as is the ANNIVERSARY
of the
Revelation of the Qur'an therein. 'Ramadan Mubarak' to my Muslim brethren.
As seen above, the Qur'an says that the RASUL WAS 'BAYYINAH
-MANIFEST
PROOF' (98:2,3). If so, WHO WERE THE OTHER 'BAYYINAATIM--
MANIFEST PROOFS OF GUIDANCE revealed with Him, the Qur'an
and the
Fur'qan in the month of Ramadhan (2:185)? Allah had also commanded
clearly for
'MAA-THAT' TO BE JOINED TO HIM--ALLAH and not cut asunder (2:27).
In Arabic this particle 'MAA' means either 'THAT or HE WHO'
and both of
these meanings apply here as in many other verses of the Qur'an, as
any
scholar in Arabic will confirm.
Now, if all of these Qur'anic Revelations are Eternal, as further
confirmed
at HQ. 98:1-5; then WHY have the Muslims been deprived of all of these
'Blessings' since the Holy Prophet's (SAS) physical departure from
this
world?
Again, if 'HE' - not it or an inanimate object - was a
MANIFEST PROOF
(98:2,3), then the other 'MANIFEST PROOFS (2:185)' MUST ALSO BE
LIKE
'HIM.' Let the Muslims then, ponder over this in this Holy Month
and also judge
the Qur'an by the Qur'an only, as exhorted therein (5:48-50; 29:23;
45:6;
15:86-91; 2:85,159,174-175; 25:30-34).
Just in case you did
not know, EVERY aspect of 'ISLAM' as revealed in
the HOLY QUR'AN ONLY and practiced
by 'Muslims' regardless of their
caste or creed, is directly
or indirectly 'RELATED' TO THE 'RELIGION OF
THE IMAM OF THE AGE ONLY (2:124,130;
17:71,72),' WHO IN THIS CASE
HAPPENS TO BE NON-OTHER THAN
'THE AGA KHAN [SA] IV HIMSELF.'
The Qur?an calls it ?Millati
Ibrahiima? whom Allah appointed as the ?Imaam
for mankind and promised to
continue the Imaamah in his Zurriiyyaat.?
Muslims have been asked to follow their guidance 3:31-35; 4:54-59;
6:85-92;
21:73; 28:5,6; 36:12; [comp. 78:29]; 37:99-114, etc.
Further, from the simple Islamic greeting 'Salaam to As Salaamu
alaykum, or
from the Bismillaah to Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Rahiim, or even from
Surah
al-Fatihah, an integral part of the Muslim Salah, to Surah an-Naas
- all 114
Surahs - ARE A 110% - ABOUT THE IMAM -- WHETHER DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY AND, OF HIS RECOGNITION ONLY -- depending on one's
level of spiritual progress and perception to COMPREHEND
this 'Batin--
hidden--Esoteric,' matter.
Regardless, the Qur'an
A - Z is about 'HIM--THE IMAM IN THIS AGE,'
AS CAN STILL BE PROVED ON
AN 'EXOTERIC' LEVEL THAT OTHER
MUSLIMS ARE AT.
In other words, I am not hiding behind the term 'Batin.' Even
the Holy
Prophet and Messenger of Allah (SAS), HAD 'NO KNOWLEDGE OF
THE 'GAYBA--
HIDDEN--UNSEEN.' See 6:50 & 7:188. He only 'FOLLOWED
'THAT--MAA'
WHICH WAS 'REVEALED--YUUHAA' to Him.'
Now are the Muslims more advanced spiritually than He was, in
order to
understand or even probe into the 'Gayba--Hidden--Unseen -- Mystery
of
Allah -- 2:1-5; 42:51; 72:25-27?
Having said that, we find that the Bible and biblical annals are
'incomplete' as a Scripture and historical records to reflect
upon or patch
up the 14--21 missing generations between Adam and Jesus, yet the only
'Record' that the Muslims have as evidence of any linkage between them
is
Allah's testimony -- the Qur'an.
Likewise, there may be some 'historical gaps and missing links'
between
Hzt. Abraham and Muhammad (pbuth). Yet, all we have as 'evidence'
of any
linkage between them is the same FURQAN. If the Muslims
can accept it as
the pre-Islamic Criterion, then nothing should stop them from
accepting it
as a post-Islamic Criterion as well (2:185; 98:1-5), as their
own SALVATION
depends on it.
Today, at the turn of the 20th century, ONLY Muslims have themselves
to
'BLAME' for all the missing pages of our history. They were out to
annihilate each other together with their traditions, ethics
and histories.
That, coupled with European prejudices and denigration of both Islam
and its
history over the centuries past have contributed significantly towards
misunderstanding this faith.
And most unfortunately, TODAY, there is present amongst us such
an
individual who had forsaken the 'search for truth, which he had voluntarily
published under the name, ?From Abraham to Aga Khan,? in 1982, after
some 7
years' research in Canada alone. He then, relied on 'doctored &
fabricated'
historical records, to promote his falsehood and bigotry against ?Islam
and
IMAMAT? instead of relying on the 'Qur'an--wal FURQAN'
for guidance. He is
'aCkbaraLy mehIRNally' alias AKBARALLY MEHERALLY OF NORTH BURNABY,
BC.,
CANADA.
A few years ago this man was EXCOMMUNICATED from ISMAILISM for
his covert
activities, which in the long run would have been detrimental for the
future
generations.
Unfortunately, he has continued the same from the outside and
SOHAIL
MOHAMMED - info@zakat.org.uk, came out in full support of his ?anti-Ismaili?
campaign and even encouraged him to post his write-up on the Islamic
Gateway
website.
As if that was not enough, HE COPIED HIS E-MAIL TO US, Ismaili
Muslims who
were contending with the said ex-Ismaili about the distortion of our
religion and my ?doctored? correspondence which was already posted
on
MSA-Net.
The very MSA Site - that carries his 'posting and distortion'
refused to
accord me the same privilege by returning my e-mail and Sohail
had already
ignored my 2 e-mails in this regard, I believe out of FEAR more than
anything else.
Anyway, this was aCkbaraLy mehIRNally's 'hide and seek' game which
was/is
perpetrated by these groups among others which favor his 'Un-Islamic'
views
and also support him financially and otherwise in his vendetta against
Islam, our Tariqah and Imam, as follows:
