Shaikh Abdol-Hamid called on Muslims to leave misdeeds during Ramadan and take benefits of this divine program for their spiritual revival.
Talking to tens of thousands Sunni worshipers in Zahedan, Iran, on Friday 6th June, 2016, Khateeb of Sunnis began his sermon by the Noble Qur’anic verse: “شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ الَّذِي أُنزِلَ فِيهِ الْقُرْآنُ هُدًى لِّلنَّاسِ وَبَيِّنَاتٍ مِّنَ الْهُدَىٰ وَالْفُرْقَانِ”, (It was the month of Ramadan in which the Qur’an was [first] bestowed from on high as a guidance unto man and a self-evident proof of that guidance, and as the standard by which to discern the true from the false.)
He said, “The Almighty Allah has specified some particular places and times to boost our spiritualties and nourish us. Worshipping in those times and places has extra virtues.”
“All mosques have spiritualties but Allah has put some particular virtues in Masjid al-Haram, Masjid an-Nabi and Masjid al-Aqsa. Every Muslim wishes to visit these holy places time and again and worship Allah over there.”
The rector of Darululoom Zahedan termed the holy month of Ramadan ‘a particular opportunity for worship’ and said, “Ramadan is one of the times in which the Almighty has put particular virtues and influences. It is the month of life and a blessing for all if they want to clean their hearts.”
“Ramadan is an exceptional opportunity as the blest people take the advantages of this glorified month and remove the distance between the Lord and His servant. Ramadan has come to get us to the Almighty. It is the month of seeking forgiveness, repentance and supplication,” he added more.
Shaikh Abdol-Hamid further said, “Ramadan is the purificative project of the Almighty for mankind. It is about to make us to leave misdeeds and carry out more good deeds and worships. Good deeds take human beings to the Almighty. Donating on the path of Allah is the way and Sunnah of the prophet, peace be upon him.”
The eminent Islamic scholar pointed out that Ramadan has been a reason for the salvation of many people and it should be considered seriously. He said, “The blest people spend their days and nights during Ramadan in worships. Benefit from Ramadan for your purification before it ends.”
Authorities must follow up the big fraud in Baluchistan
In another part of his speech, Shaikh Abdol-Hamid alluded to a historical fraud case in Baluchistan region of Iran and said, “In the previous weeks a rare fraud took place in the southern districts of Baluchistan. A fraud man unfolded a trap for poor people of Baluchistan and looted billions of Tooman.”
Calling the affected citizens to be calm and pursue the case throughout legal channels, he said, “We ask all pertinent authorities specially the judicial and security officials, to investigate about the matter seriously. The fraud man must be arrested and brought to the justice. As we heard he has fled; he should be arrested by Interpol if it is needed.”
At the end of his sermon, the rector of Darululoom Zahedan pointed out to financial problems of the biggest Islamic school of Sunnis in Iran (Darululoom Zahedan) and called on the audience to support the seminary which depends only on the public donations.
