Ask these dishonourable clergymen
that if one who curses at a momin is a transgressor,
what does that make the one who curses at Maula Ali (a)?
If one who swears at a momin is a transgressor
then what about the Master of the momineen,
the one appointed ‘Master’ by Prophet Muhammad (s),
if someone
uses profanities for such a personality,
what should we call him,
a companion?
A ‘Writer of the Revelation’?
No, we would say he is wretched and cursed
and may God’s wrath befall him.
Muawiya, The Cursed One
Look, if we try to suggest one is a momin based on a single good deed,
it would be extremely foolish.
Even those who do not practise any religion do many good deeds.
Even a hypocrite would do many good deeds.
[If it is said], ‘You call him a hypocrite; he had this mosque built!
He fed all these people!’
Does that mean his dark side should be concealed with this one good deed?
That’s not how it works.
Now, why would we bear any personal animosity against anyone?
Personal animosity was between those of the Ummayah Tribe and those of the Hashim Tribe.
We are neither from the tribe of Ummayah nor from the tribe of Hashim.
We are small people from either Karachi, Lahore, Mumbai or Dhaka.
We just have Pakistanis, Indians and Bangladeshis here.
No one knows about Banu Ummayah and Banu Hashim.
Their tribal feuds were ongoing
and history bears witness
to the tyranny of the Ummayah Tribe upon the Household of the Prophet (s).
The pages of history speak of this.
As far as Amir Muawiya is concerned,
those who go against the Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Prophet (s),
what are we to think of them?
This comes from the cunning clergymen who,
along with their cunning nature, make use of logic.
Logic is having the art of speech
and by art of speech, I mean having a way with words and knowing how to win arguments.
This is what art of speech means.
Many clergymen use this argument
that Imam Hassan believed that Amir Muawiya was an honest Muslim, a momin and a companion of the Prophet (s)
and this is why Imam Hassan abdicated in his favour.
They often make use of this incident.
However, the reality is -
let me explain to you the nature of Imam Hussain and Imam Hassan.
Imam Hussain was very high-spirited, had a revolutionary mindset and was vocal
and Imam Hassan was very stable-minded and was not fond of getting involved with chaos and conflict.
He wanted to keep his cool.
He was a very simple, mild-tempered and sober person.
He had a beautiful character;
he preferred to observe silence and avoid conflict.
He felt that this issue has become a feud between tribes.
Now, the progeny of the Prophet (s) did not consider this a tribal feud
because they did not belong to a tribe, they were the product of divine light.
But for them [the others] it was a tribal feud.
You see, the Prophet (s) - upon the Consquest of Mecca, the mother of Amir Muawiya, Hinda,
accepted Islam as a matter of convenience
and Prophet Muhammad (s) declared, ‘You have accepted Islam and I have forgiven you
but despite that, do not come before my eyes ever again’.
Hinda, the mother of Muawiya is the one
that assassinated Amir Hamza, the uncle of Prophet Muhammad (s),
then ripped open his body and chewed on his liver.
She was the mother of Amir Muawiya.
So, these atrocities continued.
Abu Sufyan [the father of Muawiya] deceived the Prophet (s) numerous times.
These atrocities continued.
Amir Muawiya waged a war against Hazrat Ali (a) and manipulated Bibi Aisha for his agenda.
I am of the understanding that Amir Muawiya was indirectly involved in the assassination of Usman e Ghani.
He was a conspirator.
As for the clergymen, they have chosen their characters;
some raise Imam Hussain’s flag, others raise Amir Muawiya’s.
When the majority of the public is with Amir Muawiya, they raise his slogans.
And where there are people raising slogans for Imam Hussain, they go and join them.
They have nothing to do with the truth,
in reality, they are in the business of profiting [from the religion].
This has nothing to do with the reality.
Now, when Amir Muawiya waged a war against Maula Ali,
when the opposing troops were facing each other in that war,
Amar bin Yasir was in the forces of Amir Muawiya
and in that moment, Maula Ali reminded Amar of the saying of the Prophet (s).
'Amar, do you not remember what the Prophet (s) said!
That Amar shall be slain by a rebel force.
Amar, tell me, can Ali be from amongst the rebels?'
When Amar recalled this narration of the Prophet (s),
he said, 'No, Ali cannot be from among the rebels'.
He left [Muawiya’s] army and joined Ali.
This hadith proves that the forces of Amir Muawiya were the rebels.
What did they rebel against? The religion of Islam.
They rebelled against the Qur’an and Sunnah.
One who has rebelled against Qur’an, Islam and Sunnah is an apostate
and you label them as companions and lovers of the Prophet (s)?
Amir Muawiya had already decided that his son shall become the ruler after his demise.
He was aware well before he died that there are many companions,
companions of the companions and so forth amongst the Muslims,
he was aware that no one shall accept his son as the next governer due to his questionable deeds.
He knew this
and this is why he would send many armed forces to Medina and Mecca while he stayed in Syria.
His headquarter was based in Syria.
He was known as the Prince of Syria.
He would send men armed with swords to force people
He did this while he was alive and coerced people into accepting his son or they threatened death.
Many people yielded and those who didn’t were decapitated.
To kill innocent people, to kill Muslims, the momins, the companions, the companions of the companions,
is this the trait of one who loves the Prophet (s)?
He forced people to pledge to his degenerate son.
In fact, the clergy also accept that monarchy was introduced in Islam by Amir Muawiya.
You understand monarchy… kingdom.
Just like Nawaz Sharif introduced monarchy in Pakistan.
This is when monarchy [in Islam] began.
What is the truth?
HDE Gohar Shahi said - and it is still the case today.
HDE Gohar Shahi declared, ‘It is not necessary for the son of a saint to also be a saint.
If the son of a prophet is not necessarily a prophet then how can the son of a saint be a saint?’
And it was that very system of monarchy the officials of ASI and the Lord’s family introduced in the organisation.
For example, Pervez Akhtar Sab.
What is his spiritual status and worth?
What does he know of spirituality?
For him to posture as a Sultan ul Fuqra with his turban?
Don’t they have the same mentality as Amir Muawiya?
Or if the children of HDE Gohar Shahi think that Younus shall be destroyed without their support… they are gravely mistaken.
This mission belongs to His Divine Eminence Gohar Shahi,
it is not dependent on any son, nephew or son-in-law.
It is not dependent on anyone.
You are gravely mistaken if that is what you believe.
This mission belongs to God, it is not your hereditary domain.
Amir Muawiya acted in accordance with the lower self's propensity to exhibit its dominance and made attempts to assert his authority.
If he had waged a war against Maula Ali (a) to avenge the death of Usman e Ghani,
then why did you become the governor and settle for half of the Sultanate?
The matter was regarding retributive justice
so how did you take over half the Sultanate and become the ruler when Ali was already the ruler?
This tells us that the actual agenda was something else.
The real agenda was to come into governance.
You can say whatever you like, you cannot alter the truth.
If you are not on the side of Prophet Muhammad’s progeny
and you stand with those that oppressed the Prophet’s progeny and yet you think you’re on the right path
What difference does your opinion make?
Your opinion has no value.
We remember the tradition of the Prophet (s)
in which the Prophet (s) said,
'O God, Fatima is a part of my being.
Those that hurt her have hurt me.
O God, befriend those who befriend her.
Be displeased with those who trouble her’.
But the cruelty suffered by the beloved daughter of the Prophet (s) cannot be expressed in words.
They set ablaze the residence of Bibi Fatima,
they broke down her door,
and a rusted nail within the door impaled Bibi Fatima and the poison spread throughout her body.
She was with child and a few months later, the passed away from the poison.
They would keep pressurising Maula Ali (a) to pledge allegiance to the next ruler, the next caliph.
Maula Ali (a) did not want to be involved, he told them to do whatever they please.
Because they knew that if they assumed the caliphate without the support Maula Ali, their governance would not last
In the way Shehbaz Sharif is aware his governance shall not last. They were aware of this.
Now, tell me, in the event of Ghadir e Khum when the Prophet (s) stated,
‘I am the Master of those who take Ali as their Master’.
Having heard this, how dare you select anyone other than Maula Ali as the caliph? How can you do that?
I’m asking the clerics. Answer me, you two-bit lousy people.
When Prophet Muhammad (s) has declared, ‘I am the Master of those who take Ali as their Master’
then how dare you appoint another as caliph?
Prophet Muhammad (s) has professed his decision by saying,
‘I am the Master of those who take Ali as their Master’.
But what did they do? They did exactly what Yazid did.
What did Umar bin Khattab do?
Abu Bakr Siddiq was to be made the caliph.
All the Muslims were aware of the grandeur of Maula Ali (a),
they knew their caliphate would not last without the support of Maula Ali (a),
so they left no stone unturned to achieve it, they forced Maula Ali (a) out of his house to announce his support and swear fealty.
Maula Ali did not want to get involved in their mischief
and he couldn’t even express it to them
to appoint him as the caliph, due to his modesty.
He was honourable, he did not want to do this but neither did he want to stand in opposition,
to avoid bloodshed amongst Muslims.
Therefore, Maula Ali decided to step back and sit at home.
He went home and they would send people to summon Ali repeatedly.
‘Call Ali! Bring Ali! The Muslims will not accept without Ali’s support! Bring Ali!
We want Abu Bakr as Caliph, call Ali!’ And Maula Ali said, ‘I am out of this. I don’t want to be a part of this’.
He locked himself in his house, he didn’t go to them. They came to his door and demanded he open it but he refused to come out.
They would not dare speak to Maula Ali (a) before the Prophet’s demise
and as soon as the Prophet (s) passed, what did they say?
‘Go get Ali!’ Who are you?
How dare you send someone to summon Maula Ali! Who do you think you are?
So they sent people but Maula Ali said, ‘I will not come.
Do whatever you want to do’.
Maula Ali (a) said he would stand by the truth
and if they were not interested in the truth, he would not stand in their way and keep a peaceful stance.
But these people were obsessed.
With what? Just like the army and politicians in Pakistan are not calling for an election because they know Imran Khan will win.
Similarly, the companions knew that if Maula Ali did not support and endorse them,
their caliphate would not last because the public would figure out the truth,
so they wanted Maula Ali to come by any means to say,
‘Yes, you are the caliph and I approve’.
It was important for them to show this so that Muslims would accept their caliphate.
Do you follow me?
And Maula Ali (a) wanted no part in this, so he stayed at home.
They sent their people to him and then in the end came Umar bin Khattab and said,
‘Ali, I know you’re inside.
If you don’t come out, I will set your house on fire’.
Maula Ali (a) came out when things became so heated that he began to curse Maula Ali.
Ask these dishonourable clergymen that if one who curses at a momin is a transgressor,
what does that make the one who curses at Maula Ali (a)?
If one who swears at a momin is a transgressor
then what about the Master of the momineen, the one appointed ‘Master’ by Prophet Muhammad (s),
if someone uses profanities for such a personality, what should we call him, a companion?
A ‘Writer of the Revelation’? No, we would say he is wretched and cursed and may God’s wrath befall him.
He swore at him but despite this, Maula Ali did not open the door
because he did not want any of this mischief and corruption.
He stayed inside and just like he said, they set his house on fire.
The hut was set on fire,
Umar bin Khattab kicked in the door and the nail on the door pierced the stomach of Bibi Fatima
which resulted in poison spreading throughout her body
and leading to her death.
All of this is mentioned in the Ahadith in Bukhari Sharif.
Even still… whose side are you on?
Have you forgotten Muhammad and his progeny and replaced them with Amir Muawiya?
This is shocking. Extremely shocking.
And these are Muslims.
These are Muslims
who do have no empathy for the oppression faced by, the pain suffered by,
and the bloodshed of the progeny of the Prophet (s)
but they support their oppressor.
And then we have Maulana Ilyas Padri
who raises the slogan of ‘shameless and blameless’
...shameless and blameless, what was the slogan?
‘Muawiya, Muawiya!’
He says they will build 400 mosques.
Even if they build 400 toilets, they can’t pull him out from hell.
We understand only what the Qur'an states!
‘Innal lazeena yu'zoon Allaha wa Rasoolahoo la'anahum Allahu fid dunya wal aakhira wa a'adda lahum 'azaabam muheena
'Those who give pain (to God) and his Messenger shall be cursed by God…’
‘Innal lazeena yu'zoon Allaha wa Rasoolahoo’
God is in the higher realms but the Messenger (s) is present in the world,
this is why God has included his name so that you do not think the Messenger (s) is alone.
God is with the Messenger (s).
So what is the translation?
‘Innal lazeena yu'zoon Allaha wa Rasoolahoo'
"Those who give pain to the Messenger of God…’
‘la'anahum Allahu fid dunya wal aakhira'
'Are cursed by God in this world and in the hereafter…’
‘wa a'adda lahum - and God promises them…’
‘'azaabam muheena - the gravest punishment’.
those who give pain to the Messenger of God (s), his progeny, Maula Ali, Bibi Fatima,
setting their houses on fire,
shedding their blood, swearing at them,
oppressing them,
you think such people are so eminent?
You think they are caretakers of the religion?
You’re abandoning the progeny of the Prophet (s) and raising their slogans?
What is this if not enmity against God?
This is enmity against the Messenger of God.
According to our faith, may our demise be at the feet of the progeny of the Prophet (s).
May we take our last breath at the feet of Maula Ali.
May we die at the feet of the Messenger of God (s).
We are their servants, we are their admirers.
We shall glorify them alone and we shall curse those who hurt them.
That’s our faith.
