The purpose of this trip was to join  the annual ceremonies which are conducted mostly once in a year in order  to honor to those students who become new scholars in some schools  located in the south east areas of Iran (Khash and Sarawan).   <!--more-->  <br \/>The  detail of journey is as follows: First Shaikh reached at 21st June on  Monday evening to &#8220;Miftaah-ul-Uloom&#8221; the religious school in the village  of Kahnuk, sub area of Khash city and attended the gathering of people  who came here to participate in such blessed ceremonies in which the  prizes were distributed among the Huffadh of the Holy Qur&#8217;an. <br \/>A  group of regional scholars: such as Sheikh-ul-Hadeeth Maulana Hussein  Poor, Maulana Mohammed Gul and Maulana Osman Qalndarzahi attended this  blessed ceremony. <br \/>Initially Shaikh A.Hameed pointed towards a song  made in praise of him at this meeting saying, &#8220;According to one debt  service, not a prestigious virtue of him or a reason to brag, but this  is a divine blessing and God special attention to wards a person that  doing any service is made quite easy for him. As some one throws a stone  at trees to break down fruits, it is clear that stones are not praised  but the person who threw stones is praised. So all praises are to Allah,  no one can bless on others. If any one of us does or issues pursuant to  his service, God was mentioned by one of us, this is the whole of the  benefaction of God and generosity as we had beautiful name on the tongue  and the Almighty for this service and business. <br \/>Virtue and  excellence to those who help us to perform two rak&#8217;ats of prayer, we are  incapable to thank for this gift. If Almighty God accepts us to be His  slaves and accepts our sacrifices and money in His way so that is a  blessing of Allah. <br \/>None is perfect except Allah almighty; I am not an illustration of this anasheed sang here.&#8221; <br \/>Turning  to the explanation of the virtues of the Holy Qur&#8217;an Grand Shaikh said,  &#8220;As rain hit the earth it causes of fresh earth and vegetation, as well  as the spiritual rain of the Holy Qur&#8217;an and the teachings of the  Prophet (peace be upon him) and his instructions if it ejaculates on any  land, it will bring out good things and blessings to her residents,  salutes the dead hearts, guides misguided people, and wake up the hearts  which ignored it. Quran is the moral and the spiritual rain which was  revealed directly from the divine throne, unlike the virtual rain. <br \/>If  any nation adhered to the Holy Quran and Sunnah, and recites the verses  of this great book and kept it in the hearts of their children, if they  are false, they guide them to God and become the owners of glory and  civilization; if they are in ignorance Allah enriches them; if they were  in need before, and they become educated if they were ignorant before  that; and uplifts them if they are in God&#8217;s humiliation. <br \/>These are all what was promised by God for the owners of the Holy Quran. <br \/>Oh  dears! The word of God is beautiful, if that mountain &#8220;Taftan&#8221; and the  surrounding mountains replaced gold they can not be equal to the great  blessing of the Qur&#8217;an. The world needs this for a great treasure, and  Muslims already have this treasure but they do not know the value of  that.&#8221; <br \/>The head of the largest Sunni University in Iran went on  expressing his points about the status of the Prophet (PBUH) and his  companions (R.A) and said, &#8220;The main target of the companions was to  survive people from the torment of hell. Their struggle was not for  gaining power, expansion in the country, collecting booty and money,  captivity, and slaves. Even they did jihad in order to save the world  from the torment of hell, and to guide people to the right (haqq). <br \/>There  is no doubt that those who got guidance and accepted Islam as the  companions did so all the praises and endeavors go to companions may  Allah be pleased with them.&#8221; <br \/>Maulana Abdul Hameed told to audience,  &#8220;O brothers! This religion needs support both physically and  spiritually, if you support this religion with your wealth and  yourselves and make Satan and desires behind God raises your prestige in  the world. <br \/> The developments we are witnessing in our own day are  the fruits of the Holy Qur&#8217;an, and these councils that you have  convened, but know that you are still at the beginning of the road, and  you should move further forward, we need to move more into Islam, so we  get to the point heard Quran recitation of every house. Girls and boys  must learn the Qur&#8217;an.&#8221; <br \/>At the end of his speech, Eminence Shaikh  addressed the audience, &#8220;We must remind our transgressions, weeping  regret it because we have a journey which goes through the cemetery, a  long and dreary, we should be ready for this travel. <br \/>I think we have  forgotten the grave, and I fear that plagued us in the grave, no one is  there to protect us, no way to escape but obeying and flee to God. <br \/>To follow the divine law and the retreat from the sins and repent of them to God, do not miss the texts, May God mercy on us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"> <\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"> <\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Sheikh Abdul Hameed in a public gathering &#8220;IsmaeelAbad&#8221; <\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<p> <strong>The companions were real believers and they accepted Islam perfectly <\/strong><br \/>Shaikh  Abdul Hameed joined a public ceremony on Monday evening after Maghrib  prayer it was conducted in the honor of newly becoming scholars of a  Sunni school &#8220;Darulhuda IsmaeelAbad&#8221;. He expressed in this blessed  ceremony the status of companions of the last Messenger of Allah saying:  &#8220;The companions were honest believers. They accepted Islam with deep  sincerity, without slightest suspicion of hypocrisy in their hearts. <br \/>They  were pious and faithful Muslims; who spent their night&#8217;s supplicants  bowing before Allah until dawn. Almighty Allah and His messenger (PBUH)  announced their satisfaction with them. <br \/>For that if we want to  ensure satisfaction and success in this world and hereafter we have to  follow their careers and move copying their footsteps. <br \/>If we work on  Islamic teachings and the great instructions of the Holy Qur&#8217;an as the  companions did certainly we would be successful in this world as well as  hereafter; Allah will send His mercy upon us like rain as he sent his  mercy on Sahaba (may God be pleased with them).&#8221; <br \/>The respected Sunni  leader more said, &#8220;When we compare the life of the Holy prophet (PBUH)  and Salaf with our lives regretfully we do not act according to their  careers and their way. Still we have not made Qur&#8217;an the center of our  lives, it is clear that a huge difference between our lives and our  ancestor\u2019s lives is obvious. <br \/>Unfortunately nowadays Muslims use  alcohol, even the adultery cases became common in Muslim countries,  People easily shed the blood of their Muslim brothers rather the Prophet  Muhammad (peace be upon him) says against this mean action: &#8220;Who ever  takes arms against a Muslim is not Muslim.&#8221; <br \/>People allege that they  love God despite they eat usury, which was declared war against Allah.  Each state promotes with Riba it will be submitted to corruption and  destruction. I do not believe that any thing if goes in the interest of  government it would be allowed in Shariah also that. My fatwa is that  Riba never ever be allowed because of any advantage of any country, the  heads of the Islamic countries should understand this fact.&#8221; <br \/>The  great Sunni leader while delivering sermon indicated towards &#8220;Reforming  Sunni Madrases act&#8221;, a decision from the Iranian state to take Sunni  religious schools under government&#8217;s rule and urged, &#8220;We do not want to  lose the independence of religious schools at all. May be after  accepting this act we get some facilities and material benefits, but I  think we would have to ask for our rights and benefits to Almighty God,  we do not want to lose the independence of religious schools, and God  willing we never accept such resolutions.&#8221; <br \/>Maulana Abdul Hameed  further said, &#8220;We are not enemies of the state, we are advocates of  unity and anti-sectarian, even we do what we can to support and protect  the Shiite citizens, at the same time we partake and demand our legal  rights from the state and administrators. We believe that there must not  be any type of discrimination in the country.&#8221; <br \/>At the end of his  sermon Shaikh addressed people saying, &#8220;Do try to preserve the rights of  your relatives, whoever observes the rights of his relatives in this  world, God blesses him good livelihood and long age. Do not forget that  this world is a test place.&#8221; <br \/>Shaikh explained the importance of education and the complete religion Islam and urged, <br \/>\u201cIf  Baluch people turned their attention to education and Islam certainly  God will raise their status not only in this world rather they will be  respectable hereafter as well.&#8221; <br \/>Shaikh also addressed to youth  saying, &#8220;My advice to you is to advert towards the directions of  scholars, obey your parents and offer the five time prayers and clung  tightly to Islam and considerate to knowledge and education.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shaikh Abdul Hameed, the head of Darululoom Zahedan University and the chairman of the Union of Islamic Schools of Sunnis in Sistan &amp; Baluchistan (may God protect him) traveled at 9th of Rajab, 21st June on Monday to &#8220;Khash&#8221; and&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-reports-interviews"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
