Shaikh Abdol-Hamid termed \u201chypocrisy in acts and tenets\u201d the biggest challenge before everyone in life. He said \u201chigh fondness of wealth and children\u201d among the reasons of hypocrisy.<\/p>\n
The official website of Shaikh Abdol-Hamid reported his Friday speech of Dec. 29, 2017 where he began his sermon in the main gathering of Sunnis in Zahedan by the Qur\u2019anic verses 9-11 of Munafiqoun chapter.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cRarely people notice their bad habit of hypocrisy. It has two main parts; hypocrisy in tenets as some people do not believe in monotheism, prophecy of prophets, the Hereafter life and Qur\u2019an, but in fact they do not believe in those tenets. Hypocrisy in tenets is the most dangerous hypocrisy.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is a kind of \u2018kufr\u2019 which does make the man out of Islam\u2019s circles. The other kind does not pull the person out of Islam, but s\/he would be counted among ungrateful human beings. Some sins have been termed \u2018kufr\u2019 in Islamic texts; it means they are such heavy sins that make people prone to kufr and infidelity,\u201d Shaikh Abdol-Hamid urged.<\/p>\n
He further said: \u201cSome Muslims just show that they are Muslims for the sake of posts and worldly interests, but their tendency to non-Muslims is more.\u201d<\/p>\n
Khateeb of Sunnis alluded to the second kind of hypocrisy and said: \u201cHypocrisy in acts and deeds has been common among Muslims today; by tenets they are Muslims, but they have the methods and signs of hypocrisy. In Hadiths, \u2018falsity\u2019, \u2018breach of trust\u2019, \u2018abjuration\u2019 and breaking promise have been termed the signs of hypocrisy.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWeakness in faith and deeds has emerged among Muslims. They cannot go to mosques. Sins and absence of opportunity to act on the commands are the results of hypocrisy,\u201d he added more.<\/p>\n
The president of Darululoom Zahedan said: \u201cDo not forget Allah and avoid from the fondness of wealth. If someone does not carry out his financial duties, such as people\u2019s debts and Zakah, s\/he suffers from high fondness of money and wealth. Love your children and bring them up well, but do not take bribery for their sake. Do not make Allah upset for the sake of others.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said that \u201cthe treatment of fondness of money is donation\u201d and take care of poor people and families of prisoners and those who live in suburb areas and villages.<\/p>\n
If Sunni Elites Get Opportunities, They will Serve Honestly<\/strong> Shaikh Abdol-Hamid said: \u201cIt is a happy news that Mr. Hussein Thouri, the general director of Sport & Youth Bureau in Sistan-Baluchistan, has been elected as chairman of Iran Boxing Federation.\u201d<\/p>\n He congratulated the Sunni Baloch chairman of Iran Boxing Federation who was present in the gathering of worshipers for the Friday prayers. Shaikh Abdol-Hamid expressed his good wishes for Mr. Thouri to achieve honors for the country in this field.<\/p>\n The most influential Iranian Sunni leader addressed the Sunni officials who have been appointed on different official positions and said: \u201cIt is my message to all Sunni officials who have got official posts to work honestly and perfectly avoiding from illegal acts. Then they can pave the way for engagements of other elites and capable Sunnis in official posts.\u201d<\/p>\n He also advised the Iranian officials to utilize capabilities of the Sunni elites and youth more than past in province level and also national positions. \u201cIf you give Sunnis opportunities and trust them, be sure they will work better than others,\u201d Mawlana Abdol-Hamid added more.<\/p>\n Khateeb of Sunnis urged on \u2018creating balance\u2019 in appointments in Sistan-Baluchistan and said: \u201cThere should be a balance in appointments and distribution of positions between Shia and Sunni communities. They are two brothers who should enjoy an equal view; the divine satisfaction and interests of the Islamic Republic of Iran demand it.<\/p>\n \u201cUnity, which is among the most important strategies of Iran, necessitates equality among all Iranians. The nation should not be divided into different ethnic and religious sects, rather there should a balance among them,\u201d Shaikh Abdol-Hamid said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Shaikh Abdol-Hamid termed \u201chypocrisy in acts and tenets\u201d the biggest challenge before everyone in life.
