Shaikh-ul-Islam Mawlana Abdol-Hamid termed ‘indiscrimination and ignoring ground realities across the world’ the main reason of the problems in the contemporary era.

He was talking to dozens of local and national scholars who took part in the 25th conference of the state-organized Research and Scientific Assembly of Muslim Schools held on Monday 3 Feb. 2114 in Zahedan, capital city of Sistan-Baluchistan, Iran.

Khateeb of Sunnis began his lecture by reciting the Noble Qur’anic verses:«يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ اتَّقُواْ اللّهَ حَقَّ تُقَاتِهِ وَلاَ تَمُوتُنَّ إِلاَّ وَأَنتُم مُّسْلِمُونَ* وَاعْتَصِمُواْ بِحَبْلِ اللّهِ جَمِيعًا وَلاَ تَفَرَّقُواْ وَاذْكُرُواْ نِعْمَتَ اللّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ إِذْ كُنتُمْ أَعْدَاء فَأَلَّفَ بَيْنَ قُلُوبِكُمْ فَأَصْبَحْتُم بِنِعْمَتِهِ إِخْوَانًا وَكُنتُمْ عَلَىَ شَفَا حُفْرَةٍ مِّنَ النَّارِ فَأَنقَذَكُم مِّنْهَا كَذَلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللّهُ لَكُمْ آيَاتِهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ», (O you who believe, fear Allah, as He should be feared, and let not yourself die save as Muslims. Hold fast, all of you, to the cord of Allah, and be not divided. Remember the blessing of Allah upon you: When you were enemies to each other, and He brought your hearts together, so that, you became brothers through His blessing. You were at the brink of a pit of Fire, then He saved you from it. This is how Allah makes His signs clear to you, so that you may take the right path.); [03: 102-3]

He said, “In the current age, one of the existing problems linked to world’s ups and downs is that people cannot recognize the realities of the world as they should do. When the world’s realities are not recognized and admitted, the society will face serious problems and challenges.”

The Sunni Imam of Zahedan added more, “The West wished to witness situations crucial in the Muslim countries to be changed in their favour; so the neo-imperialist powers chose some countries to implement their culture there like Iran, Turkey, Egypt and Afghanistan.”

“In this course, the West appointed some puppets and used its agents such as ‘Reza Khan’ in Iran, ‘Amanullah Khan’ in Afghanistan, ‘Ataturk’ in Turkey and an another person in Egypt to bring the western culture into action in those countries. Although these people slightly expedited the plans of the west but finally failed,” Mawlana Abdol-Hamid underlined.

He alluded to the current situations of some Muslim countries and stated, “A large part of the current problems and crises in the Muslim world is due to ignoring the facts. When the occupying regime of Israel was supported by Europe and the US to occupy Palestine and massacre Muslims, in fact they had ignored a reality that it may incite Muslims and end up with Islamic awakening.”

The Sunni Imam underlined, “In other Islamic countries such as Afghanistan, Pakistan, Egypt and Middle Eastern countries we see the situations scrutinized; it is a clue that facts and realities have been overlooked and ignored in these countries. My analysis is that if the West would had considered the facts not occupying Palestine, perhaps the current revolutions would not take place in the Middle East. If Mohammad Reza Pahlavi had considered the realities of Iran, the Iranians have not upraised. But ignoring the facts and realities caused widespread wave of Islamic awakening in the Muslim world.”

Alluding to the recent speech of Dr. Rouhani about “the world free of violence” at the UN general assembly, Mawlana Abdol-Hamid pointed, “Proposing this subject is a very important and noticeable, but this comment must be analyzed that how a world free of violence can be achieved? In my opinion, is achieved by paying attention to the realities of every community, expansion justice and fulfilling rights of all nations both majority and minority make the world free of violence.”

“The world might be free of violence when there is dialogue in the world, the voices of opponents are heard and due rights of everyone are respected and recognized,” he added more.

The member of the International Union for Muslim Scholars described the current problems and challenges of the Muslim world “unprecedented”. He asked in this regard, “Why Muslim rulers, OIC and Muslim scholars cannot hold a meeting to resolve the crises of Muslims? Disputes between Muslim sects including the jurisprudential disputes and etc. are trivial but they have much more common views.”

“Ulama should hold meetings and conferences to discuss the problems of Muslims and present solutions; governments must support such meetings,” Shaikh-ul-Islam concluded his points.
