The Significance of Flags

On June 27, 2012, His Holiness Mirza Masroor Ahmad, Khalifatul Masih V, the global leader of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, presided over a special reception of 140 dignitaries at the Rayburn Gold Room on U.S. Capitol Hill in Washington D.C. Leaders and luminaries from all major arenas and strata of inuence, foreign and domestic, including 30 members of Congress, attended the historic event. His Holiness delivered a keynote address: The Path to Peace: Just Relations Between Nations.U.S. Senator Robert Casey (D-Pennsylvania) welcomed His Holiness to the United States, noting: “Your Holiness, I want to thank you for your great leadership and your commitment to peace, tolerance and justice. You have united the House and Senate. We should have you here more often.”U.S. Congressman Keith Ellison (D-Minnesota), the rst U.S. Muslim to be elected to U.S. Congress, said he was “honored by the presence of His Holiness,” that he “valued His Holiness’ leadership,” and that the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community was “a true blessing for the people of the United States.”U.S. Congressman Brad Sherman (D-California) presented a special U.S. ag own over the U.S. Capitol to His Holiness and said: “I know this is [His Holiness’] rst time visiting U.S. Congress, and we welcome him. We value his commitment to world peace, brotherhood, justice and religious freedom.”Dr. Katrina Lantos Swett, U.S. Chairperson for the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, observed: “I have to say that there is a particular sense of blessings that seems to rest on this brimming room today…Your Holiness, it is undoubtedly a reection of the blessings that you bring to this Capitol.”U.S. Congressman Frank Wolf (R-Virginia), Co-Chair of the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission, remarked: “I’m aware of the degree of difculty that Ahmadis have had. I’ve seen the pictures of mosques where they are killed in Pakistan. I welcome His Holiness and thank him for his strong support for all human rights.”U.S. Congressman Mike Honda (D-California) wore a special Ahmadiyya neck scarf to show solidarity with the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA and noted that he “hoped young people can develop leadership skills so they can bring a message of peace, freedom and harmony led by His Holiness.”U.S. Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren (D-California) introduced a special resolution of the House of Representatives (H. Res. 709), co-sponsored by 21 members of U.S. Congress, to honor His Holiness. The resolution read in part: Welcoming His Holiness, Hadhrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, the worldwide spiritual and administrative head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, to Washington, DC, and recognizing his commitment to world peace, justice, nonviolence, human rights, religious freedom and democracy.U.S. Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-California) delivered a special welcome to His Holiness and proclaimed: “It's an honor to be in the same room with you...Though a man of humble beginnings, your leadership has made you a gure of global prominence. You started as a teacher, and now you are a guide for millions of Muslims worldwide. You worked to help farmers in Ghana, and now you are a force across borders and an asset to the developing world. You were persecuted for your beliefs, jailed for your faith, exiled from your homeland, but refused to turn to bitterness and vengeance. You’re a leader with wisdom and compassion and a champion of non-violence and respect among faiths.”Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, Khalifa tul Masih V (may Allah be his Helper) said:Bismillahir-RahmanirRahim-In the name of Allah, the Gracious, Ever Merciful All distinguished guests, Assalamu ‘alaikum Wa rahmatullahe Wa Barakatohu—peace and blessings of Allah be upon you all. Before proceeding, I would like to rst of all take this opportunity to thank you all for taking the time to come and listen to what I have to say. I have been requested to speak about a subject that is extremely vast and wide ranging. It has many dierent aspects, and therefore, it is not possible for me to cover all of them in the short time available. e subject that I have been asked to speak about is the establishment of world peace. Certainly, this is the most vital and pressing issue facing the world today. However, as the time is limited, I will only briey give the Islamic viewpoint on the establishment of peace through just and equal relations between nations. The truth is that peace and justice are inseparable; you cannot have one without the other. Certainly, this principle is something that all wise and intelligent people understand. Leaving aside those people who are determined to create disorder in the world, no one can ever claim that in any society, country or even the entire world, that there can be disorder or a lack of peace where justice and fair dealing exist. Nevertheless, we nd in many parts of the world that disorder and a lack of peace are prevalent. Such disorder is visible both internally within countries, and externally in terms of the relations between various nations. Such disorder and strife exists even though all governments claim to make policies that are based on justice. All claim that the establishment of peace is their primary objective. Yet, in general, there is little doubt that restlessness and anxiety is increasing in the world, and so disorder is spreading. is clearly proves that somewhere along the line, the requirements of justice are not being fullled. erefore, there is an urgent need to try and end inequality, wherever and whenever it exists. us, as the worldwide Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, I would like to make a few observations about the need for and the ways to achieve peace based on justice.The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is purely a religious community. It is our rm belief that the Messiah and Reformer who was destined to appear in this age and enlighten the world as to Islam’s true teachings has indeed arrived. We believe that the Founder of our community, Hadrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian, was that very Promised Messiah and Reformer, and thus we have accepted him. He pressed upon his followers to act and propagate the real and true teachings of Islam that are based on the Holy Quran. erefore, everything that I will say in relation to establishing peace, and in relation to conducting just international relations, will be based on Quranic teachings.In relation to achieving world peace, all of you regularly express your opinions and indeed make great eorts. Your creative and intelligent minds allow you to present great ideas, plans and indeed a vision of peace. us, this issue does not require me to speak from a worldly or political perspective, but instead my entire focus will be based on how to establish peace based on religion. For this purpose I shall, as I have earlier said, present some very important guidelines based on the teachings of the Holy Quran.It is important to always remember that human knowledge and intellect is not perfect, but is in fact limited. us, when making decisions or forming thoughts, oen certain factors enter human minds which can cloud judgement, and lead to a person trying to full his own rights. Ultimately, this can lead to an unjust outcome and decision being made. God’s Law, however, is perfect, and so no vested interests or unfair provisions exist. This is because God only desires for the good and betterment of His creation, and therefore His Law is based entirely on justice. The day the people of the world come to recognise and understand this crucial point will be the day that the foundation for true and everlasting peace will be laid. Otherwise, we continue to nd that although eorts are endlessly made to establish world peace, yet they are unable to provide any worthwhile results.After the conclusion of the First World War, the leaders of certain countries desired for good and peaceful relations between all nations in future. us, in an eort to achieve world peace, the League of Nations was formed. Its principal aim was to maintain world peace and to prevent future wars from breaking out. Unfortunately, the rules of the League and the resolutions it passed had certain aws and weaknesses, and so they did not properly protect the rights of all peoples and all nations equally. Consequently, as a result of the inequalities that existed, long-term peace could not prevail. e eorts of the League failed, and this led directly to World War II.We are all aware of the unparalleled destruction and devastation that ensued, where around 75 million people globally lost their lives, many of whom were innocent civilians. That war should have been more than enough to open the eyes of the world. It should have been a means to developing wise policies that granted all parties their due rights, based on justice, and thus prove to be a means of establishing peace in the world. The world’s governments at the time did endeavour to some extent to try and establish peace, and hence the United Nations was established. However, it soon became quite apparent that the noble and overarching objective underpinning the United Nations could not be fullled. Indeed, today certain governments quite openly make statements that prove its failure.What does Islam say in relation to international relations that are based on justice, and so a means of establishing peace? In the Holy Quran, God Almighty has made it clear that whilst our nationalities or ethnic backgrounds act as a means of identity, they do not entitle or validate any form of superiority of any kind.The Quran thus makes clear that all people are born equal. Furthermore, in the nal sermon delivered by the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), he instructed all Muslims to always remember that an Arab is not superior to a non-Arab; nor is a non-Arab superior to an Arab. He taught that a white person is not superior to a black person; nor is a black person superior to a white person. Thus, it is a clear teaching of Islam that people of all nationalities and all races are equal. It is also made clear that all people should be granted equal rights without any discrimination or prejudice. This is the key and golden principle that lays the foundation for harmony between dierent groups and nations and for the establishment of peace.However, today we nd that there is division and separation between powerful and weaker nations. For example, in the United Nations we nd that there is a distinction made between certain countries. Thus, in the Security Council there are some permanent members and some non-permanent members. This division has proved to be an internal source of anxiety and frustration, and thus we regularly hear reports of certain countries protesting against this inequality. Islam teaches absolute justice and equality in all matters, and so we nd another very crucial guideline in Chapter &nbsp;5, verse 3 of the Holy Quran. In this verse it states that to fully comply with the requirements of justice, it is necessary to treat even those people who go beyond all limits in their hatred and enmity with fairness and equity. The Quran teaches that wherever and whoever counsels you towards goodness and virtue, you should accept it, and wherever and whoever counsels you towards sinful or unjust behaviour, you should reject it.A question naturally arises is that what is the standard of justice required by Islam? In Chapter 4, verse 136, the Holy Quran states that even if you have to testify against yourself or your parents or your most loved ones, then you must do so in order to uphold justice and to uphold the truth. Powerful and rich countries should not usurp the rights of poor and weaker countries in an eort to preserve their own rights; nor should they deal with the poorer nations in an unjust fashion. On the other hand, the poor and weaker nations should not seek to inict harm on the powerful or wealthy nations whenever the opportunity arises. Instead, both sides should endeavour to fully abide by the principles of justice. Indeed, this is a matter of crucial importance in maintaining peaceful relations between countries.Another requirement for peace between nations based on justice is given in Chapter 15, verse 89 of the Holy Quran, where it states that no party should ever look enviously at the resources and wealth of others. Similarly, no country should seek to unjustly appropriate or take over the resources of another country on the false pretext of trying to assist or support them. us, on the basis of providing technical expertise, governments should not take advantage of other nations by making unjust trade deals or contracts. Similarly, on the basis of providing expertise or assistance, governments should not try to take control of the natural resources or assets of the developing nations. Where less educated people or governments need to be taught how to properly utilise their natural resources, then this should be done. Then, nations and governments should always seek to serve and help those less fortunate. However, such service should not be rendered with an aim of achieving national or political benets or as a means to full vested interests. We find that in the past six or seven decades the United Nations has launched many programmes or foundations aiming to help the poor countries to progress. Towards this effort they have explored the natural resources of the developing nations. However, despite these efforts, none of the poorer countries have reached the stage or level of the developed nations. One reason for this is certainly wide-ranging corruption by many of the governments of those under-developed countries. With regret though, I must say that despite this, as a means to further their own interests, the developed nations have continued to deal with such governments. Trade deals, international aid and business contracts have continued to be processed. As a result, the frustrations and restlessness of the poor and deprived segments of society have continued to increase, and this has led to rebellion and internal disorder within those countries. The poor people of the developing countries have become so frustrated that they have turned against not only their own leaders, but also the big powers. This has played into the hands of the extremist groups, who have taken advantage of the frustrations and so have been able to encourage such people towards joining their groups and supporting their hate-filled ideology. The ultimate result of this has been that the peace of the world has been destroyed. Thus, Islam has drawn our attention to various means for peace. It requires absolute justice. It requires truthful testimony to always be given. It requires that our glances are not cast enviously in the direction of the wealth of others. It requires that the developed nations put aside their vested interests and instead help and serve the less developed and poorer nations with a truly seless attitude and spirit. If all of these factors are observed, then true peace will be established.If despite all these aforementioned measures any country transgresses all limits and attacks another country and seeks to unjustly take control of its resources, then other countries should certainly take measures to stop such cruelty—but they should always act with justice when doing so.The circumstances for taking action based on Islamic teachings are detailed in the Quran, in Chapter 49. It teaches that when two nations are in dispute, and this leads to war, then other governments should strongly counsel them towards dialogue and diplomacy so that they can come to an agreement and reconciliation on the basis of a negotiated settlement. If, however, one of the parties does not accept the terms of agreement and wages war, then other countries should unite together and ght to stop that aggressor. When the aggressive nation is defeated and agrees to mutual negotiation, then all parties should work towards an agreement that leads to long-standing peace and reconciliation. Harsh and unjust conditions should not be enforced that lead to the hands of any nation being tied, because in the long-term that will lead to restlessness, which will ferment and spread. The result of such restlessness will be further disorder.In circumstances where a third-party government seeks to bring about reconciliation between two parties, then it should act with sincerity and total impartiality. is impartiality should remain even if one of the parties speaks against it. Therefore, the third-party should display no anger in such circumstances, it should seek no revenge, nor should it act in an unfair manner. All parties should be aorded their due rights. Thus, for the requirements of justice to be fullled, it is essential that the countries that are negotiating a settlement should themselves not seek to fulll their own personal interests, nor try to derive benet unduly from either country. They should not interfere unjustly or pressure either of the parties unfairly. The natural resources of any country should not be taken advantage of. Unnecessary and unfair restrictions should not be placed upon such countries, because this is neither just, nor can it ever prove to be a source of improving relations between countries.Due to time constraints, I have only very briey mentioned these points. In short, if we desire for peace to be established in the world, then we must leave aside our personal and national interests for the greater good. Instead, we must establish mutual relations that are based entirely on justice. Otherwise, some of you might agree with me that due to alliances, blocs may be formed in future—or I can even say they have started forming—and it is not unlikely that disorder will continue to increase in the world, which will ultimately lead to a huge destruction. The effects of such devastation and warfare will surely last for many generations. Therefore, the United States, as the world’s largest power, should play its role in acting with true justice and with such good intentions, as I have described. If it does so then the world will always remember with great admiration your great eorts. It is my prayer that this becomes a reality.Thank you very much. Thank you again.According to our tradition, at the end of the function we normally perform a silent prayer. Thus, I will perform the silent prayer and the Ahmadis will follow me. All of you, our guests, can pray in your own way.&nbsp;&nbsp;
