Terming the religion of Islam ‘the most perfect religion’ in his latest Friday sermon, Shaikh Abdol-Hamid urged the salvation of human beings in all fields laid in acting upon the directions of Islam.
The official website of Shaikh Abdol-Hamid reported that he had said in his sermon of Nov. 25, 2016 in the gathering of the Sunni worshipers in Zahedan, Iran, “Islam is the last and the most perfect divine religion. We are proud to be followers of this religion. Islam has instructions for mankind in all aspects of life.”
“Islam is a religion with the best solutions for any problem of anyone in any time. It breaks deadlocks and guides us if we hold fast the Noble Qur’an and Sunnah. The instructions of Islam make human beings honorable and perfect. The companions reached to excellence and perfection by imitation of the teachings of Islam as we are proud of them. Acting upon the teachings of Islam makes the man ‘exemplary’ for others. It gets human beings close to Allah and gives them the feeling of responsibility,” he added more.
Khateeb of Zahedan expressed his sorrow on the condition of today’s Muslims and pointed out, “It is regrettable today’s Muslims are headless about their perfect religion. The salvation of Muslims is not in slavery of the West and non-Muslims, rather they can be prosperous only by imitation of the Qur’an and the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.”
“Allah the Almighty overthrows and debases the Muslims who compete in depending on unjust powers. A real Muslim does not depend on the West neither on the East. A Muslim should depend on the Almighty instead of dependence on the bloodthirsty and cruel states,” he added more.
The rector of Darululoom Zahedan concluded his points by saying, “A real Muslim is gentle. Islam teaches us to be brave and free and avoid from being timid, chicken-hearted and dependent on Non-Muslims. We should resist against tyrants and cruel elements, criticize them and disclose their hidden aims and conspiracies.”
Helping needy people is an example of Islamic moral
Continuing his speech before the worshipers in Zahedan’s main gathering for the Friday prayers, Khateeb of Sunnis said, “Islam has taught us to have a good moral. The prophet, peace be upon him, had the best grade of piety and morals. Once he PBUH was asked who was the most beloved by him; he replied, ‘The one who has a good moral and piety’.”
“A Muslim should have sympathy for needy people. Muslims should not forget their responsibilities regarding all human beings. There is a narration from the Messenger of Allah that suggests: ‘He is not a believer whose stomach is filled while the neighbor to his side goes hungry.’ The more neighbor is closer, the more we have responsibility about him,” Shaikh-ul-Islam Mawlana Abdol-Hamid pointed out.
He alluded to the hard conditions of some people and said, “There are many people who cannot buy a loaf of bread. Many cannot buy warm cloths and oil in this cold weather. If we remain irresponsible about such poor people, then we are away from the Islamic moral.”
Demolition of citizens’ houses is ‘nonsense’
Criticizing strongly the demolition of common people’s houses in the cold weather in Zahedan, the eminent Sunni leader said the act in the winter season was ‘nonsense’.
Shaikh Abdol-Hamid said in the last part of his sermon, “Last day a group of people from the suburb of Zahedan city informed me their homes had been destroyed by the forces of Natural Resources Bureau while the weather is very cold.”
“Although legally the offices were right to implement the law, but I’d like to ask the officials of the natural resources and the judge who approved the demolition of those houses, when you destroy the houses of these people in this cold weather, where they should go?” he added more.
The rector of Darululoom Zahedan further said, “The land is a portion of the natural and national resources and it belongs to the whole nation. The people whose houses have been demolished in a cold weather belong to the same nation; at least they are human beings. We are supposed to provide shelter to animals in such weather, but human beings are no homeless.”
Shaikh Abdol-Hamid concluded his points and urged, “It is a wrong act to demolish the houses of people without providing them ultimate places to inhabit. The pleasure of the national officials and the Almighty is not in demolition of people’s houses in these cold days. It is incorrect morally.”
