Call it Wahhabist Terrorism – A Message for the Sri Lankan Government

Call it Wahhabist Terrorism – A Message for the Sri Lankan Government

The following is a transcript of Sufi Spiritualist Younus AlGohar’s speech on Sunday, 21st April, soon after learning of the devastating atrocities that took place in Sri Lanka.

It is a very sad day. What we can do as the public is only to condemn and give condolences. But the authorities concerned are always in a position to protect its citizens. It is a very enjoyable job to become the Prime Minister of a country. It has a lot of perks: glamour, power, authority – but above all, a lot of responsibility.

A president or a Prime Minister of a country is like a father figure to the entire nation. It is the job of that Prime Minister and president to ensure the safeguarding of the citizens. Sometimes, they do take preventive measures. They do their best to protect their citizens but even then, there are atrocities and people lose their lives.

These terrorist activities are increasing in number. Analysts who give their analyses on these events also have a very sensitive job. Most of the time, in most cases, their opinion becomes part of their analysis. Because the voices of such intellectuals and people who come from the media are heard in the public, anything they say is accepted by the public. It plays a lot of pivotal role in shaping and carving the minds of people. These individuals who give their political analyses on certain events, they have to be very careful. In most cases, when an atrocity – an act of terrorism – takes place somewhere, most analysts jump to conclusions with their premeditated understanding. They instantly put the blame on religion.

I want to tell you this is not the religion that is prompting people to spread hatred. I was really shocked and very dismayed when I read this tweet from Imam Toheedi, the ‘Imam of Peace’ from Australia, in which he was inciting people and he was telling them, ‘Wake up. This is a war between Islamists and Jesus Christ.’

No, that is not right. This is wrong. According to Islam, there is no place for terrorism or unjustified killing. There is no place for such brutal and devastating, cold-blooded activity which is seemingly carried out under the banner of religion. But one has to be very careful to utter out any words, especially when they label a religion as a terrorist religion. If blowing up a church is a war between Islam and Jesus then what was blowing up the mosque in New Zealand? So, this is wrong.

It is a natural feeling that when innocent people lose their lives in such atrocities, one naturally becomes gloomy and saddened. We are also very sad but sometimes this sadness is entwined with anger. This sadness is entwined with anger when you realise that such a brutal killing, carnage and massacre of innocent human beings could have been prevented.

Only if preventive measures had been taken in time and it had been ensured that those who have been suspected of becoming a potential terrorist, they should have been on the radar of the agencies. Especially when, after such events, the secret forces of a country come up and they give their statements that they had already informed the Prime Minister of the country ten days prior to these events – they had even given phone numbers, names of the group and places. But the Prime Minister was so busy that he did not give any heed to the tip-off given by the agencies of the country.

Such heedlessness cannot be justified, especially if it is coming from the premiere of the country. Being the Prime Minister or president of the country is not just about enjoying the power, seat and glamour; it is more about protecting your country and citizens.

During my two visits to Batticaloa and one visit to Trincomalee in Sri Lanka, I noticed there is a considerable amount of population which is a potential terrorist camp. I have been so vocal about certain things, especially when it comes to unfolding the hidden face of Wahhabism.

During newspaper and television interviews, I have been telling people about it for the past many years that the source of modern-day Islamist terrorism is Wahhabism.

Two years ago, we even took it to publicly demonstrate how Wahhabism is the main source of terrorism. We were working on this petition about banning Wahhabism in many countries. We had this demonstration in India, ‘Ban Wahhabism’. We had it in England, the USA and Canada but, sadly, the petition was taken off somehow or other.

It becomes even sadder when you know that on a higher level, the people with more authority in their hands, they want to play a blinder to the truth right under the tip of their nose. They know who is responsible for such brutal carnage and massacre of human beings right across the globe. It is not just Sri Lanka, it’s been everywhere: whether it is New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh, USA, UK, Canada, etc.

With all the technology that we have today in such developed countries, if we are unable to stop these terrorists, then what is the use of such technology?

In 1989, there was [turmoil] in Karachi. I was with His Divine Eminence in Kotri [another city in Pakistan]. We hadn’t been vigilant enough to protect one of our centres in the Shah Faisal Colony, Karachi. There were people who came and tried to shoot someone there.

His Divine Eminence Gohar Shahi said, ‘The difference between us – the Pakistani, Indian and Bangladeshi nation – and British and Americans is that we take measures after the accident. Whereas the British and Americans take measures before the accident. So they save lives.’

I remember an interview I gave to a newspaper in Sri Lanka about four years ago. I mentioned there is a potential threat of terrorism in the country and the government should be aware of this and take preventive measures about it. One of the journalists said, ‘There is no terrorism in this country.’ Instantly, they ruled out the possibility of such a thing.

We pray to God there is no untoward incident like this in any country or city of the world. But at the same time, are we not supposed to take preventive measures before the accident? What if we are more careful? What if we are more vigilant? We could have saved these people who died without their due death.

If not today, then tomorrow the time will come when the entire universe will come to know that this brutal killing, carnage and massacre of human beings throughout the world under the banner of Islam terrorism is Wahhabism. The Wahhabis must be exposed, and at the same time, they must be recognised as non-Muslims. They have their own brand of the religion, it has nothing to do with the principal core of the religion of Islam.

Islam, principally, is the religion of peace. Islam doesn’t have anything to do with terrorism. But today, even many so-called progressive and pragmatic Islamic scholars put the entire garbage, accusation and blame on the religion of Islam. Islam does not teach hatred. Islam does not teach people to kill others. If you study the Koran, the Koran equates killing of one man to the killing of the entire humanity. we must understand that Wahhabism is not Islam at all.

People have been of the opinion that Wahhabism is a branch or a denomination within Islam (a ‘firqa’). No, it is not a firqa in Islam. Wahhabism is totally different from the principles of Islam. Islam is a religion which circumambulates the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH). In Wahhabism, Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) has no respect. A Wahhabi’s belief is that the only amount of respect given to Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) should not be more than what you give to your elder brother.

Whereas, according to a Prophetic Tradition, God said, ‘O’ Messenger of God, had you not been the purpose of creation, I would not have created the universe.’ The entire universe was created by God because he wanted to create the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH). All the respect is due to Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) in Islam.

There are videos of Zakir Naik (a Wahhabi cleric) from Mumbai in which he said, ‘For us even to believe in Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) is an act of Shirk (polytheism).’ This is not Islam; this is Wahhabism.

Do not call it Islamic terrorism. Call it Wahhabist terrorism. This is not coming from Islam. What Baba Farid, Bulleh Shah, Khwaja Gharib Nawaz, Data Ali Hajweri, Lal Shahbaz Qalandar preached is Islam. They are the true flag bearers of Islam. They gave the world the true meaning of Islam. What is coming from Saudi Arabia in the guise of Islam is not Islam, it is Wahhabism.

The message that I want to convey to the message to the public and government of Sri Lanka is that sooner or later, willingly or unwillingly – happily or under any political compulsion – you must root out Wahhabism from Sri Lanka. Otherwise, my friend, you will continue to make the world sad like we are today. That is my message for our brethren in Sri Lanka, whoever they are: Catholic, Christians, Hindu, Muslims. Our message of love reaches out to everybody. We are not enemies to anybody.

We understand such terrorist activities are not coming from Muslims. They are coming from hate preachers who pose to be Muslims but they are not Muslims in reality. Islam is just an excuse for them to do what they are doing. Their hidden agenda is hidden to everybody. Therefore, do not hate Muslims because this terrorist terrorist attack was carried out by a Muslim. It is very unfortunate that the terrorist activity that is taken place today in Sri Lanka was carried out by a so-called Muslim, but that so-called Muslim has nothing to do with Islam.

If Islam teaches terrorism, then why wasn’t Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani a terrorist? Baba Mohiuddin was a Tamil, a Sri Lankan citizen, who came to the USA some 70-80 years ago. He lived in Philadelphia all his life. He never spoke English. The language he spoke was Tamil. Even then, he spread love. His followers comprise Jews, Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs alike. Why wasn’t he a terrorist if Islam teaches terrorism? Why wasn’t Moula Ali or Lal Shahbaz Qalandar a terrorist? Data Ali Hajweri, Bulleh Shah and Mevlana Rumi are not terrorists and they are all Muslims. So what people are following today is Wahhabism, not Islam.

Statement: The Sri Lanka Explosions

Statement: The Sri Lanka Explosions

We are deeply saddened to hear of the cowardly acts of terror carried out upon the Christian worship places and hotels in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday. Sri Lanka is a place very dear to our hearts and on behalf of Mehdi/Messiah Foundation International and the Kalki Avatar Foundation, we strongly condemn this attack upon humanity. We would also like to reiterate that violence and terror having nothing to do with any religion. A hateful soul will promote hatred while a loving soul will promote love.

Our mission is to unite humanity under the umbrella of divine love and Sri Lanka has always embraced the message of love. Mehdi/Messiah Foundation and the Kalki Avatar Foundation stand in unity with Sri Lanka.
Sufi Spiritualist Younus AlGohar, the CEO of the MFI and KAF, issued the following statement:

An utterly evil and devastating terrorist attack on Sri Lanka soil targeting Christians attending the auspicious Easter service leaves over 200 innocent people dead. Our sincere prayers are with the victims and the grieved ones. May God shower his mercy upon them, amen.

Terrorism Has No Religion – Christchurch Shootings

Terrorism Has No Religion – Christchurch Shootings

Terrorism Has No Religion – Christchurch Shootings

Terrorism has no religion. It is hate-filled ideology of extremism whether it comes from a Muslim, a Hindu or a Christian fellow.

New Zealand has been the second safest country in the world. It is very unfortunate that extremist ideology has plagued the most peaceful country now.

The world leaders must not tackle hatred with weapon and bombs. Hatred is an ideology therefore it can only be defeated with a counter ideology which is love.

Instilling fear in the hearts of masses and killing innocent people is terrorism by definition regardless of who does it brown Muslim or a white far-right activist!

Do not forget that neither Islam nor Christianity advocates killing innocent people.

AlQuran: killing an innocent man equates killing of entire humanity.

The Bible: love God love your lord for God is love, one who doesn’t know love doesn’t know God.

The world needs to adopt love, peace and tolerance.

Let’s unify in love and combat hatred with love.

The Voice of Love and Peace: HDE Gohar Shahi
21st October 2018|ArticlesStatement

The Voice of Love and Peace: HDE Gohar Shahi

The Voice of Love and Peace: HDE Gohar Shahi

The following is a message from Younus AlGohar about his Spiritual Guide, His Divine Eminence Gohar Shahi.

HDE Gohar Shahi’s voice is the voice of love and peace. HDE Gohar Shahi calls for mutual love, respect for humanity, the true understanding of the religious beliefs and tolerance for others religions and faiths.

It is quite disappointing that some of the Muslims in Pakistan do not appreciate our efforts towards building a cognitively healthy and tolerant society.

The religion of Islam is a form of the divine bounty that caters for the spiritual and societal needs of the world. Ironically Islam has been gravely misunderstood by thousands of Muslims and non-Muslims alike.

It would be utterly undermining the calibre and potential of the religion of Islam if it is confined to a ritualistic aspect only. Islam is far greater a religion than assuming it to be a set of beliefs that direct us to worship God only.

Primarily we aim at inviting the Muslims to stop being divided in dozens of sects. And the reason for this division is lack of inner knowledge and enlightenment of the heart. The hearts are pre-occupied with Satan. And the Satan is playing under the labels of Sunni, Shia, Wahhabi, Ahmedi, Deobandi denominations. None of the above labels are part of the Ummah that the beloved Prophet Mohammad PBUH founded some 1440 years ago.

Today, as we speak, all these labels are religiously slashing throats of each other and they declare it Jihad.

Even the Islamic world is divided in two major fractions: Sunni Islam and Shia Islam. Bloodshed in Syria and Yemen is the prime example of this division.

As for the common Muslims, they swiftly put the blame on the West whereas the Muslims emperors and politicians are the real culprits and are responsible for sectarian conflicts in Syria and Yemen. Pakistan has been subjected to sectarian hatred and bloodshed for over a decade now. My friends, the West is not your enemy, the enemy is among you and within you.

We promote love and peace and we invite people to adopt spirituality so that we manage to enlighten the hearts thus get rid of this evil division within Islam and become united again to be known as Ummah of the Beloved Prophet PBUH.

This is the voice of love, peace, justice and God. And this is the voice of HDE Gohar Shahi.

Statement: Farah Naz Takes Charge of MFI
7th June 2018|NewsStatement

Statement: Farah Naz Takes Charge of MFI

Statement: Farah Naz Takes Charge of MFI

CEO of MFI, Younus AlGohar, issues his statement:

Dear members,

I am utterly delighted to inform you that the Beloved Daughter (Farah Naz a.k.a Nazo Baji) of His Divine Grace Lord Ra Riaz Gohar Shahi has cordially accepted to guardian Mehdi Foundation International.

Please remember in what life-threatening circumstances Nazo Baji had to leave her house in Kotri, Pakistan. Nazo Baji was threatened to be killed along with her husband and her daughter. Hammad Riaz of Anjuman Sarfroshan Islam threatened Nazo Baji in Kotri. Luckily, Nazo Baji escaped. Nazo Baji has stood against the denial of His Divine Grace Gohar Shahi’s office of Mehdi-hood by Hammad and his followers of Anjuman Sarfroshan Islam recently.

Nazo Baji firmly believes in His Divine Grace Gohar Shahi to have come from the Unseen World. Nazo Baji believes that MFI is truly serving the teachings of His Divine Grace Gohar Shahi.

Nazo Baji truly believes that His Divine Grace Gohar Shahi is the awaited Imam Mehdi.

I would like to welcome Nazo Baji to MFI and thank Nazo Baji for accepting guardianship of Mehdi Foundation International. I would like to verify that with immediate effect Nazo Baji is now the guardian of Mehdi Foundation.

Farah Naz, the Beloved Daughter of His Divine Eminence Gohar Shahi, issues her statement:

My name is Farah Naz. I am the daughter of His Divine Eminence Gohar Shahi. What I have learnt in the company of my father, the spiritual truth that HDE has rendered in ‘Deen-e-Ilahi (The Religion of God)’ – I have seen the reflection of that knowledge in Mehdi Foundation International and I truly believe that MFI is following HDE Gohar Shahi’s teachings.

The teachings of my father, HDE Gohar Shahi are not for any particular religion. The message of God’s love is for all humanity. This is the very reason that my father was invited to speak in Hindu temples, Gurdwaras, Churches, Synagogues and Mosques all over the world.

The Hindus believe my father to be their Kalki Avatar, the Muslims believe him to be the Awaited Imam Mehdi and the Christians and Jews believe him to be their Awaited Messiah.

I saw this message to be the theme of MFI and as a result, I was oppressed by my brothers. I promoted this message undercover and kept my identity hidden.

The CEO of MFI, Younus AlGohar, on numerous occasions, requested that I take up the Guardianship of MFI; however, due to the fear of my brothers, I remained silent.

A few months ago, my brothers announced that they reject that my father is the Awaited Imam Mehdi.

I had to take a stand against this atrocity against the truth. Thus I announce that I cordially accept Younus AlGohar’s invitation to become Guardian of Mehdi Foundation International.

In Loving Memory of Jawed Riaz

In Loving Memory of Jawed Riaz

In Loving Memory of Jawed Riaz

It is with both sorrow and hope that we pay our respects to Jawed Riaz on the day of his passing. Jawed was a longtime member of Mehdi Foundation International and a sincere admirer of His Divine Eminence Gohar Shahi who spent his final days spreading the message of love and spirituality in South Asia. Jawed was also a dear friend of Younus AlGohar. 

The following is Younus AlGohar’s statement on this day.

Dear Folks,

We all have come into this world for a short-lived stay. Nobody will live here forever. Blessed are those that have enlightened their heart and awakened their souls. What we do in this life will determine our future life. Most people spend their life in making money and they become wealthy.

Those that have a loving soul live their life like a mission and their foremost mission is to please the Lord. Association with HH GoharShahi makes a nobody a somebody.

Knowing and being attached with HH GoharShahi itself is an abundance of bounty and blessings however, there are some elite who steer a number of aspiring people to HH GoharShahi and serve the cause of love and enlightenment. Such a soul is Jawed Riaz who had been a great business man throughout his life-span. Towards the twilight of his life he devoted himself to serving the cause of Imam Mehdi RaRiaz Gohar Shahi. He worked day and night tirelessly to promote the mission of Love and peace. He loved HH Gohar Shahi and supported the cause.

Today as he departed from this phenomenal world, he is a successful candidate to availing eternal blessings and very close proximity of HH GoharShahi.

I sincerely believe the fact that Jawed Riaz is far from needing anybody pray for him, HH GoharShahi is enough for Him.

As a humble servant of HH GoharShahi I feel ecstatic to salute our soldier of Love “Jawed Riaz”.

What a man! And what a life he lived! Let’s pay tribute to his service of love and rejoice in the fact that he enjoys a never-ending bond of Love with HH GoharShahi!

Long live Jawed Riaz!

We love You (Jawed Riaz).

The Karbala Tragedy
2nd October 2017|ActivitiesStatement

The Karbala Tragedy

The armies of Yazid bin Muawiyya were all Muslims, during Salat they would send benedictions upon the Prophet Mohammad and His family, yet they didn’t care for upholding respect and reverence for the Prophet and His family and they killed Imam Hussain (AS) and his companions in Karbala.

The question is what was wrong with their Islam and its practice? What was missing from their Islam? Did they practise Islam perfectly?

Alas! The Muslims do not want to know what caused those Muslims to kill the family of the Prophet!

I want to tell you the fact that their practice of Islam was imperfect, and they lacked the knowledge of the heart, thus, they failed to absorb the divine light in their hearts. The Kalima (declaration of faith) they recited would not go beyond their throats. Their hearts were null and void of Emaan (faith) and Noor (divine energy).

O Muslim, if you have the same deficiency today, you are also vulnerable to becoming yet another Yazid.

-YA
