Where Stars Descend

By Asif Mahmood Basit

Chapter 1

The topic of Tawakkul ‘Alallah (Trust in Allah) is broad and profound, bearing in it all spiritual truths. This is reason enough for me not to ever attempt to indulge in such discourse. I am neither acquainted with the depths of the subject nor do I acquire a status, spiritually nor academically, to write on it. Nonetheless I feel obliged to share some experiences for the benefit of everyone, for in my opinion these experiences are the property of the members of the Jama’at.

A few days ago, I had the opportunity to read Hazrat Musleh Mau’ood, Mirza Bashiruddin Mahmud Ahmad sahib’sra commentary on an incident mentioned in the Quran where Prophet Moses’as hand turned white. Hazrat Musleh Mau’oodra interpreted it by saying that it signified the divine guidance and direction which was to be delivered through Moses’as hand to his people. However, when looking at its physical meaning it could also suggest the divine light (Nur) that radiated from his hand. God Almighty grants divine light (Nur) to His chosen ones, such that emanates from them and enters the fortunate ones.

Within the last few years, the progeny of one admirer and the progeny of two opponents of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, the Promised Messiahas have been discovered. With Hazrat Khalifatul Masih’s permission, I was researching on certain topics relating to those individuals and was able to discover their whereabouts. It was a sign of the acceptance of Huzoor’s prayers that I had the good fortune of tracing their footsteps and consequently meeting them. These individuals were the maternal grandson of Colonel Douglas, the maternal granddaughter of John HughSmyth Piggott and the great grandson of Henry Martyn Clark. They were all fortunate enough to have met Huzoor during individual Mulaqats.

In the previous chapters, I have had the good fortune of being able to shed light on some personal experiences and observations of Hazrat Khalifatul Masih Vaa. The main reference-point of these encounters have been the Daftari Mulaqats (official sittings with Huzoor).

Chapter 5

It has been mentioned previously that there is a stark difference in the wavelength of the Khalifatul Masih and the ordinary human. Our mindset remains occupied in trivial earthly pursuits whereas the Khalifa’s objectives soar in the skies above us. We are constrained by our capabilities in understanding things, but the Khalifa sees things beyond the three-dimensions that we are accustomed to.

I consider it this humble one’s good fortune that after any of Huzoor -e-Anwar’s tours, I get to view the recorded footage before anyone. Some of the footage would already have been aired live on MTA but most of the footage is broadcast after Huzoor’s return to London. Among those programmes, the classes with Waqifeen-e-Nau and university students is what I look forward to seeing the most. Thus, the classes are what we view before any other programme. The readers will agree with me that those classes are indeed captivating and extremely enlightening.
