Amir Trawally (L) at the (35th) 2011 Jalsa Salana |
The Amir of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at in the
Gambia has projected a global catastrophe as the world continues to be plagued
by numerous crises.
His projection came at a time when the world is
grappling with political, economic, and food crises – the later already extant
at home, the Gambia.
“The world is going through turbulent times in all
fronts. No one is safe from these crises, especially the Muslim world,” said
Amir Sahib Baba F. Trawally, who added: “If these crises are not properly
checked, a global catastrophe is inevitable.”
Speaking during the 36th Annual
Convention (Jalsa Salana) of the Ahmadiyya on April 6, 2012, the Muslim sect’s leader, Amir
Trawally, said the world experienced a similar disorder when Prophet Muhammad
(SAW) appeared in the 6th century.
Through the perfect teachings of Islam, he was able
to establish peace, love and unity to a magnitude never known in history, he
said of Muhammad, whom the “Holy Qur’an described as the possessor of excellent
moral qualities.”
“The justice that the world cries so much for
cannot be attained without this moral quality. The dealings of governments
should be based on truth and justice,” Amir Trawally stressed.
This should not be overlooked by vested interests
of governments, he added.
He charged every Muslim to ensure these noble
principles are established in the world, but warns that it should not be in the
form of violence. “It is done through the highest moral qualities, tolerance,
understanding and forbearance in our actions,” he said.
He condemns the killings of innocent people,
especially women and children, which he said tainted the image of Islam.
The Jalsa is
the biggest annual gathering of the Ahmadiyya. This year, it attracted
participants from Gambia, Guinea Bissau and Senegal, gathered at Masroor Senior Secondary School, where the event was held..
Initiated in 1891 in Qadian, India, the primary
purpose of the convention is to enable every sincere individual to personally
experience religious benefits – enhance their knowledge.
