What is the distinction of the attributes of God as jamaal and jalaal and their manifestation in Islam and other religions ?

He has asked the question Brother from Nigeria your name Khursheed Khalil Mahmood quite yes he wants to know the Clear distinction between the two attributes of Allah of being the possessor of Jalal and possessor of Jamal and their manifestation in Islam and other religions So that some prophets are called Jalali prophets and Some are called Jamali prophets and sometimes there is a phase of Jalal and there is a following phase of Jamal That is what you wanted to find out. Yes Now Jalal means in ordinary terms it may also mean anger but it’s not that Jalal means a Mood which is very serious and Full of determination and At any cost if one has decided to do it, even if anger has to be involved That is called Jalal.

So at the time when Allah sends those prophets or some prophets with law At that time it is a particular period of his expression of Jalal Willy-nilly whatever may happen That book of law will have to be established in the lifetime of that prophet So if people use sword against the such prophets swords swords would be permitted to be used against the offenders and ultimate ultimate victory Has to be won in the lifetime of that prophet because unless he has demonstrated The law to the people with his own example He cannot be satisfied as to the fact that people have understood the message correctly The Holy Quran mentions this in the verseO Holy Prophet, this is why we repeat the verses in so many ways.

We give them different turns So that people may understand and You should be satisfied when they say it in so many words addressing you You have fulfilled Your duty as a teacher and we have fully understood So that phase cannot be completed Unless the victory is won during the lifetime of that prophet and the first phase is established completely he must be able to demonstrate it in a manner as if in a manner where He has also power to do that If he is not given the power of state for example in his lifetime.

How can he implement such things where the authority of state is required? so that phase is of Jalal and Allah will not wait for the people to for a very long period they have to accept at least in in as much as a Full authority is exercised by the prophet of that time in the in a in an area where his Sent primarily or to a people to which he sent primarily This is Jalal And the phase of Jamal is the phase of patience The whole Jalal is left to the people to exercise against the servants of Allah And Allah says that it is not Jalal alone which can win it is Jamal which can also which can win and The Jamal means that whatever atrocities you commit against the people The people are not permitted To pay you in the same coins The sword is handed over handed over to the persecutor The power to lit fires is delegated to the persecutors.

The power to persecute and loot and put to arson and destroy and kill all the annihilative powers are Handed over to the persecutor and it said do whatever you may you will not win Perseverance patience love Must become victorious over the paths of hatred and annihilation This is the period of Jamal as you may have witnessed in the history of Christianity against the period of Jalal of Hazrat Musa alaihi salatu wassalam Now this period also requires patience In the sense that your victory is not within a generation or two Sometimes it lingers on and on For centuries sometimes you have to offer sacrifices But with Jamal never with anger with the result That that victory which is attained through Jamal later on This is the second phase of the same religion in fact it’s a different phenomena But it belongs to the prophet of the first of the religion the founder prophet of the religion Because it is he initially who has been given the responsibility.

So that both these phases originally belong to him But have been unfolded one during his lifetime and the second during After the after his lifetime during a phase farther apart So this is how you compare? Hazrat Musa’s time with Hazrat Esa’s time and The victory which is attained later on by Jamal. It is much wider and much more lasting It encompasses not only the people to whom it the message is addressed, but to the people around as well It’s a very strong phenomena, which when it comes into motion and ultimately wins So this is why Hazrat Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam was told in the holy Quran That you are like a prophet before you that is Moses and It says come our Salah Allah for honor Rasool We have sent this prophet raise this prophet as we raise the prophet towards Pharaoh that is Moses and And The first the founder of Islam according to the holy Quran is similar to the founder of This what you call the religion of Torah Judaism it is called but in fact it is the religion of Torah So that similarity is not does not end there that just they are the lawmakers and the lawbringers The similar similarity continues into other regions sword was raised against hazrat Moses Sword was raised against Muhammad Mustafa Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam That sword was defeated with sword At the hands of Moses ultimately and at the hand of Muhammad Mustafa Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam The law of the law was completed and established during their lifetime and However strong the enemy may appear now when we look back it was totally destroyed.

This is the phenomena which was Unrolled and unveiled during the time of Muhammad Mustafa Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam So when he promises the ummah that the end at the end a a Messiah would also appear It shows Automatically it it is inferred from that that as the founder was not the same Moses, but similar to him so the Messiah would be the similar similar a Person or an office holder similar to the old Messiah not he himself It is the phenomena which is going to be unfolded and The same phenomena has been unfolded by hazrat Masih Maud alayhi salatu wasalam and We are passing through the same phases of torture and persecution and it seems there is an unending chain Which would not end in our lifetime It will continue Allah knows how long it’s going to be but we know positively that if the Messiah of Moses Was made ultimately and finally and consummately victorious by Allah It is impossible that must the Messiah of hazrat Muhammad Mustafa Sallallahu alaihi wasallam is not made more conspicuously conqueror and victorious and the ultimate winner.

So that is what is going to happen inshallah and hazrat Masih Maud alayhi salatu wasallam has also Mentioned this that it’s not necessary that Ahmadiyyat should take 300 years Because there is an additional blessing of hazrat Muhammad Mustafa Sallallahu alaihi wasallam Which is obviously exercising in our favor for example Jesus was crucified but hazrat Muhammad Sallallahu alayhi wasallam Was saved from crucifixion despite their best attempts to put him to death through Hanging that is a sort of crucifixion in existence in the present days But if the attempts failed Concocted murders and all that and they go on to till today These people always behave in the same manner Distorted minds always think in the same terms The crime is repeated by different people, but the manner of crime remains the same So Allah saved him.

So it is not necessary That the similarity should be extended to each detail But the similarity is to extend it to be extended in departments in generalities and There you find so many similarities between hazrat Masih Maud alayhi salatu wasallam and the Messiah world That it is surprising I’ll tell about that later, but first let me finish this part that hazrat Masih Maud alayhi salatu wasallam has Given us the glad tiding that it is not not necessary that we’ll have to wait for 300 years maybe within 200 years, maybe even within 100 years so the the exceptional phase of sacrifices which we have entered also gives us the glad tiding that there is going to be an exceptional phase of Allah’s favors and within a matter of Our lifetime. I am quite certain inshallah. We will see great changes occurring and Allah help us to be patient till that time and let’s Hope that Allah will bring that time sooner than we expect now the similarities between hazrat Masih Maud alayhi salatu wasallam and hazrat Messiah are so many for example, you can measure the distance through years Hazrat Isa alayhi salatu wasallam appeared at the head of the 14th century About 1,300 years after hazrat Moses and Hazrat Masih Maud alayhi salatu wasallam appeared at the head of the 14th century Hazrat Musa was permitted to raise sword against sword Hazrat Sallallahu alayhi wasallam was permitted to raise sword against sword, but Messiah was not so was not hazrat Masih Maud alayhi salatu wasallam Every time an effort was made through coercion, through torture, through persecution, through prosecution by the Jews to annihilate Christianity The net result was that Christianity always emerged bigger and stronger And It’s a strange thing that every time the swords were defeated and The throats which are cut were not defeated Those who burnt houses they were made poorer and whose houses were burnt. They were not made poorer They went on spreading and gaining in everything.

So the same phenomena we have seen with our own eyes Unfolded at the time of Hazrat Masih Maud alayhi salatu wasallam and we are going through these phases and Again Hazrat Masih Maud alayhi salatu wasallam was told by Allah that in Response to their cruelties. You must teach patience and tell your people to pray The same was the message of the Christ of old Messiah, this is exactly what he taught Hazrat Masih Maud alayhi salatu wasallam was mocked at by his enemies and they said look here unless you descend bodily from heaven We are not going to believe in you The same thing happened about Jesus Christ He was told that we should not believe in you we would not believe in you until Aliyah descends from heaven bodily and The Bible tells us that they mocked at the followers of Hazrat Masih Maud alayhi salatu wasallam peace be upon him and They said look they told they went and complained to the master Hazrat Masih Maud Look here. This is what the rabbi’s and The pharisees are doing to us.

They come and mock at us They say produce the Aliyah first from the heaven unless he descends. How can you expect us to believe and Hazrat Masih you know what he said in answer he said John the Baptist Yohanna is the same Elijah who was to descend from heaven Believe it or not So the verdict was given for all time This was exactly the objection against the new Messiah expectation of some body appearing from heaven in body not in spirit and The same was the answer when we see model s lot of salam So there are so many departments as a receiver the rest lot of salam has mentioned to my memory 14 similarities and Again for example, there is one similarity of his appearing at the end and Hazrat Rasool ekarim sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has used the same word a Kareem that Messiah would appear among the a Kareem and after that there will be Qiyamah or the day of resurrection or the day of ultimate annihilation So the same thing is said in Hadith that after Messiah appears there will be Qiyamah and The day of resurrection or the day of total annihilation of the world, whatever you call it so this is one this this is also a Department of similarity, but there are so many who see model s lot of Salam has mentioned about 14 and I have also been mentioning them variously at various places.

So you understand the phenomena Jamal Jamal is a very strange phenomena Apparently, it’s a very soft looking world How beautiful and soft that Jamal is going to appear but it is so torturous and so I mean painful that those people who become the Symbol of Jamal of Allah’s Jamal representative of Allah’s Jamal. They have to suffer a very great deal so Jalal apparently is a very strong and powerful phenomena With a sense of anger in it as I have explained But on the other hand people during the Jamal Jalal are better off in so many ways But Hazrat Rasool-e-Karim sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is one prophet Who encompasses every situation in himself as well? It is not that Huzoor-e-Akram sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was only representative of Jalal and He left the Jamal for Masih-e-Maud and his people entirely. This is wrong to conceive this He was and he encompassed both these qualities to the utmost and There are two phases in his life Which are distinct from the other One from the other for example the the period of Mecca and the period of Medina period of Mecca is the consummation of Jamal and The period of Medina is the consummation of Jalal.

So although in his lifetime both the phenomena were manifested Yet as a period It takes a longer period Both the period of Jalal and period of Jamal are not periods Contained in one lifetime They are extended to many generations So as such we can say positively that Huzoor-e-Akram sallallahu alayhi wa sallam’s phase Was that of Jamal predominantly because after him there was a very long period of Jalal Despite the fact that he encompassed both in his own person and In the time of Masih-e-Maud there is going to be a long period and phase of Jamal as against that
