I bear witness
that Muhammad
is the Rasul of Allah,
the Divine Messenger.



He is the one of praiseworthy station, known in the celestial realm as Ahmad -
the one who is praised, the Periklytos (Advocate, Helper), about whom Jesus
Christ mentioned of the Paraclete's (Solicitor, Intercessor, Comforter, Advocate )
advent after Christ's return to the Lord. That Intercessor is Our Master
Muhammad who will intercede on the Day of Judgment.

Sayydina wa Habibina wa Shafayina Muhammad - Our Master, Our Beloved and
Our Intercessor O Muhammad Mustafa, the Beloved of Allah.

Our Master Muhammad is the Seal of the Prophets and after whom no other new
Prophet are to come except the second coming of Christ. Through the holy heart
of Muhammad, the Last Divine Message as Qur'an is revealed to the mankind and
final code and guidance delivered which is to remain pristine until the end of the
world. Qur'an is the Final Testament of Truth, the Final Direct Divine Revelation
sent not only to any tribes or groups but to all of mankind. It is the complete code
for a just, peaceful, ethical, divine centered society for mankind.

It is Our Master Muhammad who is the kingly Prophet promised in the Old
Testament who will execute both the roles as priest (Imam) and law giver as well
as administrator or ruler.

Sayydina wa Habibina wa Shafayina Muhammad, sallalahu alayhi wa sallam.

What Does it Mean that We Bear Witness

I ask where did the true spirit of religion go? Religion has been reduced into lip
service and an excuse for spiritual / religious arrogance / self-righteousness.

Every day five times from minerate of every Mosque the caller to prayer will call
that "I Bear Witness there is One God and Muahmmad is God's Messenger."

Question has to be asked, are we true to that statement?

Are we true to the heavy truth and responsibility that comes with this witnessing
that Muhammad is God's Messenger. Let alone non-Muslims but even Muslims
don't realize what it calls for, what minimum they aught to observer even in their
heart when they bear witness that Muhammad is Allah's Messenger.


IT IS THE MESSAGE THAT MAKES ONE MESSENGER

We say "Muhammad is Rasul of Allah", we acknowledge that Muhammad
conveyed and transmitted the Risala or Message. Now what message was that?
What did this message commanded us to do?

It said, to accept Allah, One God as Lord and accepting Lord means accepting His
Commands (Hukum), His Laws, His Code of Ethics, His Guidance. On top of that
we pray everyday that may we be guided to the Path (Sirat al-Mustaqim) and yet
our behavior and action is so anti-thesis of that.

Have we not betrayed our Rasul by throwing the Book of Allah at our back, by
rejecting the Guidance and accepting the Laws of Man such as British Law,
French Law and so on and so forth. Did we not purchase misguidance while
throwing away the Furqan? Has not the Muslim become the new Bani Israel who
again and again betrayed, broke covenant and rejected Guidance?

Allah said again and again that you are commanded to do only one thing, that is
to take God as your Lord, and no other. Now Lordship demand that we follow His
Command in totality and anything short means we are walking towards
associating His Lordship by something, someone else, primarily with misguided
men who follow their own desire and whims.

But we so badly forgot that we follow godless profit driven, oppressive systems
when it comes to legality, economics, monetary system, social justice and you
name it. We were told to follow what the Messenger brought us and we were
given the Quran as the basis of the basis of our constitution. But have we not
betrayed both Allah and His Messenger by rejecting it.

Not a single country except perhaps Iran has Quranic principals as guidance.
Instead we have godless systems where we are outrightly disobeying God and
His Messenger.

God said oppression is forbidden, but our monetary system is designed in such a
way that the value of money reduce everyday. Its debt based system which itself

is forbidden by God. Yet we allow this and the gap between rich and poor grows
infinitely forever.

Allah and His Messenger said, Interest (Usury / Riba) is prohibited, our godless
system says its acceptable. Our godless society and all its monetary system,
creation of money out of thin air and debt based borrowing - all are dealing with
Usury which is the single most toxic cause of human suffering in massive scale.

Allah and His Messenger said, none can be killed without justification such as
case of murder, and our godless system mass murder people and continue to
fund billions of dollars into manufacturing weapons, use massive amount of
resources to sustain military while its population starves, are homeless,
education is made extremely expensive.

Allah and His Messenger said, we must live a life of ethical conduct, uphold
family values and we must love each other. The godless society says there is no
place of ethics, family has no place.

Allah and His Messenger said, every single human being is free, we are only
servant of God, not servant of anything less. All our godless society wants us to
enslave us economically, intellectually and in every other means. Because of
oppressive monetary system, every single human being is now converted into a
slave of the system where every human being has to work much longer, get much
less time for themselves and their family and organic relationship with blood
relatives and loved one are destroyed because of this artificial crisis of time due
to the toxic nature of our engagement with time.

Allah and His Messenger said live simply, humbly and do not squander your
wealth. But godless society is designed upon waste, materialistic over
consumerism.

Allah and His Messenger said do not cause corruption, pollution on earth and
consume moderately and share more. Godless society corrupts in every way,
gang rapes earth, its natural resources including water in massively
disproportionate rate, hides its reality, poisons food, water and air.

Allah and His Messenger prohibited to accept as guardian (Wali) those who deny
God, who deny Ultimate Accountability (Akhirah) and yet in our ignorance we
have accepted these godless people who are run by their satanic impulses and
beastly drive who knows nothing but profit, materialism and consumerism. It is
them who run the show in the UN, World Bank, IMF and we follow like cattle and
have them made into our guardian. It is their laws which govern our society,
create endless suffering and oppression and bring havoc to life of ordinary
people.

Allah and His Messenger asked us to follow the Qur'an and accept its guidance
and yet we rejected it outright, reduced it into religious entertainment and show-
business where as we have given free ticket to godless principles in various
disguises that have no ethics, no divine principals as its core.


Allah and His Messenger prohibited unjust war, any form of aggression,
prohibited the killing of innocents even in war situation, and yet in godless world
satanic ritual sacrifice of innocent victims continue.

Allah and His Messenger prohibited injustice in any form, but in godless society
we see the exact opposite. From our tax system to education to everything else
we see massive injustice. Those who have money are given free pass to own all,
be all and value of human beings are measured with money where as if someone
don't have money they are treated as cockroaches even in the most affluent
society in the world. Is our legal system modeled after British and European
godless model just? Does our legal system modeled after British and European
godless model deliver justice or does it do everything it can to ensure that those
who have money run the show, get all whereas the poor are ripped off, hardly get
any justice and often are victims?

All of the above and much more - all those issues of the world are already
explained and given solution in the Quran and in the Way of the Messenger. The
Quran calls itself as a Book that explains everything and it does. Human society
may claim to have become so called modern but our base drive for profit,
consumptions, greed and many other shadows actually never changes. Thus
Quran should not be viewed as a Text that is 1400 years old, but should be
analyzed as a living, breathing Divine Code that has solution for all human
phenomena including inheritance law, social law, marriage law, human ethics
necessary for peaceful coexistence of people etc.


SO WE ASK AGAIN? DO WE REALLY BEAR WITNESS?

Does our action reflect what we say? The answer is massively NO. It is we human
beings who have rejected, killed, crucified our Messengers and Prophets when
they came and spoke of love, justice, peace. It is we human being who have called
our Messengers and Authentic Prophets as liars, poets, magician and rejected
them outright.

Have we changed to anything better?

We are given the direct communication, we are warned that this is from God and
never to associate anything with God by way of replacing God's commandment
and law, by covering up truth and yet again and again like our past generations
we have rejected and betrayed the Message.

So we dont really bear witnesss that Muhammad is the Divine Messenger. At best
we are hypocrites and arrogantly ignorant who have no idea what it means. We
have no idea who the Messenger was, what is His Message and how we have
complete rejected every single aspect of his teachings.

OCCASION OF THE MESSENGER'S ADVENT & RETURN

12th Rabiul Awwal is commemorated mostly as the birth of the Messenger and
also the day when he returned to his Lord. It is celebrated around the world.
Some do not celebrate also on the argument that it may become another
Christmas. But thats not the real point.

The real point is whether we qualify as his Ummah? If we have outrightly
rejected his message, his vision, his ideals, his teachings, his guidance, his ways -
then by what right can we claim to be his followers and moreover by what right
can we expect that he will make intercession for us on the Day of Standing?

In fact in Islamic tradition it is said that there will be people who will pass by in
front of the Messenger at the Fountain of Kawthar where he will distribute
drinks to his followers, and he will recognize them as his followers by some
outward sign, but those people will be dragged away from him and it will be
informed that these people betrayed him while claiming to be his followers.

Unfortunately we have been betraying our Messenger for many hundreds of
years now. We have embraced godless society, its tricks, have take Satan as our
master where we hypocritically claim to be his followers. So our qualification is
the qualification of munafiqs, don't you think?

DISQUALIFIED FROM LEAST AMOUNT OF FAITH

The blessed Messenger informed us that when we see something evil, bad,
unjust, we must protest by our hand, that is try to engage directly to stop it. If
that is not possible then we must speak out, engage with our voice. If that is even
not possible then lastly we must know that it is evil and repel it by our heart, that
is engage with our heart. That is the weakest of faith, the sign of least faith.

Now we have arrived at such a crisis point that we don't even qualify for the least
of faith. Our ignorance has enveloped us to such an extent that we do not realize
that we have made halal into haram (eg. gold and silver to be currency) or we
have made haram into halal (usury, interest, riba) and there are many many
examples of such. Even within Muslim society we are perfectly comfortable with
evil because we have outright rejected the Divine Commandment to guard
against Evil and to take Satan as our archenemy. But in our godless society it is
the Satan that rules from the top of every international organization, be it UN,
IMF, WorldBank and you name it. It is their Satanic policy that claims itself to be
Supreme where as we know that it is Allah who is Supreme.

It is man made law that is gets written and become supreme, it is man made
constitutions that replace divine constitution and act as supreme. This is outright
blasphemy and betrayal of the Message as well as the Messenger.


CALL FOR REALIZATION

There is only one teaching in this Mawlid, that is to realize first our massive
betrayal of the Message and Messenger and then to repent. To repel from our
heart what is evil, almost all the mechanism of the godless so called secular
world that replace love with lust, value with money, trade with usury. Unless we
recognize what is evil, we will be continuously led to the slaughter house like
cattles and we will follow as one who has ears but can not hear, has eyes but can
not see and hearts but can not perceive.

No matter how many Salawat we send upon the Prophet, while we betray him, it
means nothing. No matter how much we try to read his zahir life, while we reject
his message, it means nothing.

So with sadness in our heart we pray that may Allah help us look, see,
understand and repent our massive deficiency which led us to betray our
Prophet. May Allah help us to understand who the Prophet was and what was his
ways. With sadness with our heart, we can not celebrate Mawlid except by first
understanding that we are still not worthy to be his Ummah, at least not with our
present condition of heart and mind that knows not the difference between
forces of darkness (tagut) and divine light (nur), between misguidance and
guidance, between following the satan and obeying God.

O Allah we ask your forgiveness and we invoke your blessings upon our Master,
may we truly follow him and make him our Master, may divine benediction and
peace be upon his noble Soul.



Astaghfir Ya Rasul Allah
Astaghfir Ya Allah

We ask forgiveness to You O Messenger of Allah

We send Divine greetings of Peace to You O Noble Messenger of Allah
We send Divine greetings of Peace to You O Beloved One of Allah
We send Divine greetings of Peace to You O Seal of Prophets
We send Divine greetings of Peace to You O Intercessor of the sinners
We send Divine greetings of Peace to You O Grace of all that is.
