Shaikh-ul-Islam Mawlana Abdol-Hameed Isma’eelzahi urged on taking advantage of the opportunities of life to get ready for the immortal life of the Hereafter in the latest Friday sermon of Zahedan, Iran.

Talking to thousands of Sunni worshippers in Zahedan on June 14, 2013, he began his speech by the noble Qur’anic verse: “وَتَّقُواْ يَوۡمً۬ا تُرۡجَعُونَ فِيهِ إِلَى للَّهِ‌ۖ ثُمَّ تُوَفَّىٰ كُلُّ نَفۡسٍ۬ مَّا ڪَسَبَتۡ وَهُمۡ لَا يُظۡلَمُونَ”, (Be fearful of a day when you shall be returned to Allah, then every person shall be paid, in full, what he has earned, and they shall not be wronged.) and pointed out to the 8th lunar month, Sha’ban, saying the holy month of Ramadan is before us as Sha’ban has arrived. These two months are for struggle; lucky servants of Allah Almighty used to worship Him more than any other time in these months. These are the days to purify the soul and add more to the provision of the Hereafter.

“Those who neglect the opportunities like Sha’ban, Ramadan and the night of Qadr can’t be called successful people. The people who believe in the Hereafter must not waste the time; they know well only good deeds can save them on the Resurrection Day. Allah the Sublime has warned mankind in numerous places to be cautious over the next life that is an internal life. Wise people give priority to their endless life instead of the mortal one. So get ready for the sensitive and very important day of the Resurrection.”

Encouraging the audience to give donations, the rector of Darululoom Zahedan added more, “Donate on the path of Allah and try to get pleasure of Him; Islamic seminaries, students of seminaries, schools, and universities who are busy with their studies must be supported by your donations. Establishing hospitals, schools and such other buildings of public utility is another field for benevolent people.”

He counted ‘growing up competent and good children’ another way to collect something useful for the accountability day and immortal world. He said it has been narrated in some Hadiths of Holy Prophet, peace & blessings be upon him, that there will be some parents on the Judgment Day who have no much good deeds; they would be rewarded a bright crown, its light would be wide from east to west. These are parents who brought up their children correctly.

The vital need of the Hereafter is not the need of 1000 years or more; it is the need of an endless life where death would be over! It is the sign of full adversity to violate the rights of people and Allah for the sake of a mortal life and temporal amusement, Khateeb of Sunnis underlined.

He concluded his words in the first part of his speech by calling on the worshippers to observe fast as much as they can in Sha’ban preparing themselves for Ramadan.

The president-elect must decrease domestic, foreign crises
In the second part of his speech, the leading Sunni scholar alluded to the presidential election of June 14, putting it a very ‘sensitive’ and ‘pivotal’ day for the Iranian nation as people elect their next president and local councilors.

He further said, “As everybody knows Iran has been facing many domestic and foreign crises; regrettably the value of our currency has been hit an all-time-low against US dollar that affected the middle and lower classes very badly. We suffer from this serious problem while our country is rich with natural resources like oil and gas. We have roughly 10% of the world’s total proven petroleum reserves.”

The Iranian citizens also lost their past reputation across the world; in past, other people were proud to shake hands with any Iranian citizen. But now we are over passing such a condition that many countrymen feel shy to disclose their nationality, he pinpointed.

Expressing his ideas about the features of a successful president, the member of the International Union for Muslim Scholars stated, “We need a competent and mighty president to provide people their rights. The new president must be a good manager and politician to resolve people’s economic problems. We have seen the country failed in foreign policies as the internal stances are not admirable as well. Truth is always bitter; if somebody wants treatment, he must endure hearing unpleasant words.

On the day of election, Shaikh Isma’eelzahi recommended the audience to vote for the most capable candidate who is more experienced with more proficiency. A good president is the one who approximates us to the rest of the Muslim world saving the country and nation from possible dangers.

He urged on impartiality of the president, saying the president-elect should be broad-minded. He must not have a ‘particular attention’ to his wing or sect marginalizing the rest of the nation. A successful president will gather all classes and parts of the nation next to each other. We hope people will have a better fate after this election.

At the end of his speech, Khateeb of Ahl-us-Sunnah indicated to the council elections calling on people to use their right of voting for capable candidates. He said it is a just idea to gather both Shia and Sunni for managing the affairs of the city. It is extremism to strive for handing over the city to any particular sect or ethnic community. We must work hard together in all fields including the armed services and other official departments.
