He said that performing Hajj and presence in the two holy  places is a great blessing from Exalted Allah.<\/p>\n<p>Shaikh pointed,  &#8216;Allah Almighty has gifted people an appropriate environment with all  sorts of facilities to ease His worship for them. We must utilize  opportunities to gain Allah&#8217;s adhesion and worship Him through  transitory life.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>He added more that now performing Hajj  comparatively is much easier than past. Muslim pilgrims used to travel  on foot or by camels and other animals towards holy cities of Makkah and  Madinah in early past. But now, airplanes facilitated traveling. Hajj  is a great opportunity for pilgrims to get rewards. The more pilgrims  bear difficulties, the more they earn oblations. <br \/><strong><br \/>Sands of Arafat wet with tears of Allah&#8217;s special slaves <\/strong><br \/>Mawlana  Abdul Hameed indicated to the recited verse at the beginning of sermon  and said that Ka&#8217;bah is the very first home which was built for Allah  Almighty in the world. Ka&#8217;bah was established by Adam (Alaihissalam)  initially, and then Prophet Abraham rebuilt it. This is the place where  Allah&#8217;s mercies arrive. <\/p>\n<p>Talking about holy place, Arafat, near  Masjid al-Haram, he pointed, &#8216;In Arafat Allah accepts His slaves&#8217;  repentance. Here, special slaves of Allah and holy men used to make du&#8217;a  for all, sands of Arafat are mixed with their tears.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The  eminent Sunni scholar emphasized that being in &#8220;Mina&#8221; and &#8220;Mozdalifah&#8221;  is also a valuable bliss. Hujjaj should be happy for that great virtue.  These are the places prophets (peace be upon them) visited them and  worshiped Allah over there. <\/p>\n<p>He asked pilgrims of Haramayn to not  waste their precious time in roaming around markets; rather they should  be away from what relates to the world, remember Allah and gaze to  Ka&#8217;bah. Looking at Ka&#8217;bah is worship. A unit of prayer in Masjid  al-Haram is equal to one hundred thousand and fifty thousands in  Masjid-un-Nabi.<\/p>\n<p>It is notable that Khateeb of Ahl-us-Sunnah,  Shaikh Abdul Hameed was one of the pilgrims of this year, but due to  confiscation of his passport by Iranian authorities, he could not travel  to Saudi Arabia for Hajj.<br \/><strong><br \/>Fasting first ten days of Dhul Hijja<\/strong><br \/>Khateeb  of Sunnis in Zahedan continued his points saying that it is so  regrettable that the related authorities did not allow him to perform  Hajj. <\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Those who have not gained the virtue of Hajj, they should  not miss the first ten days of the last Islamic month, Dhul Hijja.  Observing fast, Sawm, a day of these ten days is equal to observing fast  one year. As worships at these nights peer to worshiping  Lailat-ul-Qadr,&#8217; he concluded.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pilgrims must pray for the Muslim world&#8217;s matters <\/strong> <br \/>Shaikh-ul-Islam  Mawlana Abdul Hameed talked about the current issues of the Muslim  world and advised pilgrims to not neglect oppressed Muslims in their  sincere prayers. <\/p>\n<p>He pointed that Muslims are in an important  examination. People in Syria and Yemen are under fire of their dictator  rulers. The opinionated rulers massacre their publics on roads by tanks  and heavy guns day and night. Pilgrims are requested to pray for all  Muslims particularly for Syrians and Yemenis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Khateeb of Ahl-us-Sunnah in Zahedan, Shaikh Abdul Hameed talked about Hajj and the virtues of first ten days of the Islamic month &#8220;Dhul Hijja&#8221; and its related particular worships in his latest Friday sermon on 28th October in the Grand&#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":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-speeches"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15","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=15"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
