Allah Almighty says: \u201c\u0648\u064e \u062a\u064e\u0632\u064e\u0648\u0651\u064e\u062f\u064f\u0648\u0627 \u0641\u064e\u0625\u0650\u0646\u0651\u064e \u062e\u064e\u064a\u0652\u0631\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0632\u0651\u064e\u0627\u062f\u0650 \u0627\u0644\u062a\u0651\u064e\u0642\u0652\u0648\u064a\u200f \u0648\u064e \u0627\u062a\u0651\u064e\u0642\u064f\u0648\u0646\u0650 \u064a\u0627 \u0623\u064f\u0648\u0644\u0650\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0623\u064e\u0644\u0652\u0628\u0627\u0628\u0650; <em>and take provision along with you for the best provision is piety; and keep fearing Me, O men of understanding!<\/em>\u201d The verse urges on avoiding from all kinds of sins and misdeeds.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMale and female pilgrims are dressed in the cloth of ihram as the Almighty has ordered. The pilgrims should protect all of their body parts, especially eyes, ears and tongue from sins. Hujjaj should take whatever they may need during Hajj without asking others something,\u201d he clarified the issue more.<\/p>\n<p>Great Hadith teacher of Darululoom Zahedan said: \u201cThe pilgrims should remain aside; leave inessential shopping, trades and talking with people. All works should be put under the care of Allah Almighty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA Haji is like a dead who is dressed in white shroud\/<em>kaffan<\/em> moving towards Allah by reciting the name of Allah. All people are equal in Hajj in same cloth and non-sewn and unhemmed sheets. The pilgrims are supposed to wear slippers during Hajj and present before Allah with an uncovered head and feet,\u201d he further said.<\/p>\n<p>Mawlana Abdol-Hamid termed Hajj a great worship and wished an \u201caccepted Hajj\u201d for all pilgrims. He advised them saying: \u201cI\u2019d like to request all pilgrims to make du\u2019a for the whole Muslim world and people of the entire world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Islam considers all spiritual and material needs of mankind<\/strong><br \/>\nIn another part of his sermon, the Friday imam of Sunnis said: \u201cIslam is a comprehensive religion with consideration of all kinds of needs which human beings may need them in their spiritual and material life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMonasticism has no place in Islam; rather Islam encourages building of a good world and beautiful of endless life. All teachings of Islam are balanced and moderated. In tenets, it urges on faith and in the same time morality is important in Islam,\u201d Shaikh Abdol-Hamid added more.<\/p>\n<p>He went on to say more: \u201cWhen we look at Islam\u2019s guides and directions about economic issues and its emphases on learning skills and training, we think Islam is only the religion of working, striving and seeking Halal income. It has been considered \u201cworship\u201d to seek Halal livelihood and learn any skill.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs well as, Islam has lots of directions for traders and farmers. Honesty is must in transaction as lots of directions are there for traders and farmers. A Hadith suggests that truthful and honest businessman would be with the prophets, martyrs and the upright people,\u201d president of Darululoom Zahedan further said.<\/p>\n<p>He called on young to work and avoid from sitting and sleeping at home all the day, saying: \u201cLooking up for any job and work in streets is better than sleeping at home. Do not be a burden on society, rather help the society. Take part in vocational classes and learn more than one skill.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSearching for an appropriate job is the sign of wisdom. Wise but bankrupt people do not sit at home doing nothing; they go behind any job and earn money. As Allah feed birds, fishes, livestock animals and all of His creatures, He will feed mankind, too, if they go out and work hard to earn,\u201d Mawlana Abdol-Hamid emphasized.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Take care of young<\/strong><br \/>\nHe addressed the audience in a part of his speech and said: \u201cThere are lots of social crimes and implications which damage health and they are against the Islamic rulings. So take care of your children and protect them from drugs and illicit activities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will be proud of young when they join universities and Madrassahs. They should learn the Noble Qur\u2019an and get Islamic knowledge. Young are advised to accompany Tablighi Jamaa\u2019t and present in mosque,\u201d Shaikh added more.<\/p>\n<p>He denounced \u201cmurder\u201d and said: \u201cIt is very bad for young to commit suicide or murder innocent people. The cases of murder have been growing. Some people instantly take weapons and knives out and open fire. It is worst sin after <em>shirk<\/em> and <em>kufr<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Khateeb of Sunnis recommended pilgrims to focus on Hajj rituals and benefit as much as they can from the golden opportunity of Hajj.
