Khateeb of Ahl-us-Sunnah in Zahedan, Shaikh Abdol-Hameed, urged the upcoming Eid al-Fitr prayers will be established in the new Mosalla of Sunni Muslims in Zahedan.
He was talking to thousands of worshippers in Zahedan on Friday, August 02, 2013.
The eminent Sunni scholar further said, “People have been inquiring about the new Mosalla (Eid-Gah) of Sunnis; the provincial authorities and other determinants have decided to give permission for making a new Mosalla, finally. We have been awaiting this permission for about ten years. Once, a piece of land was allotted, then the ‘hidden hands’ dismissed the project. It is good that the current officials agreed to allot any field for this purpose that is the due right of Zahedan’s Sunnis.”
Shaikh Abdol-Hameed Isma’eel alluded to another important issue, continuing his points by saying most of the residents of Zahedan travel on foot to participate Eid prayers. It is also impossible to get all the worshippers by bus or any other vehicle as they are thousands in number. Therefore, we ask the authorities to allot us any field near to the city that we already demarcated.
This is a way to approximate Muslim sects together; it is a good reason to boost fraternity and solidarity. If we are supposed to spend billions of dollars to get such aims, it is a profitable deal. We hope the high profile officials would ignore the negative excitations of lower officials against the matter. It brings the pleasure of the people and their Lord Almighty, he pointed.
Khateeb of Ahl-us-Sunnah emphasized at the end, “We are determined to establish Eid al-Fitr prayers in the new place of Mosalla, next to the southern highway of Zahedan, In Shaa Allah.”
