Allah Exalted tests someone by his\/her health or wealth and  another one by poverty and illness.&#8217; <\/p>\n<p> Shaikh parabled the point  saying that prophet Abraham was examined by the fire of Nimrod and  sloughtry of his son, Ismaeel, peace be upon them. As, Moses was tested  by Pharaoh who created lots of problems for him and his nation. In the  same way, beloved prophet Muhammad, peace &amp; blessings be upon him,  was examined by Abu Lahab, bin Obayy and pagans of Makkah. The miscreant  Kuffar of Makkah decided to martyr him, as Allah Almighty ordered him  and other Muslims to migrate. Even hypocrites vilified his wife with  nonsense blames, but Allah, swt, reiterated her chastity and purity.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The  companions of the Prophet, may Allah be pleased with them, also were  tested in different stages; in migrates and battles, all of them were  passed and successful. Thus, Muslim believers must be prepared for any  kind of examination, always,&#8217; the eminent Islamic scholar urged.<\/p>\n<p>Continuing  his speech, he said that Hussein bin Ali was tested by his Lord,  Exalted Allah as well. He was a great Sahabi and one of the prophet&#8217;s  household who was brought up by Ali, the fourth caliph and Fatima, the  daughter of beloved prophet Muhammad. As, Hasan bin Ali, Allah be  pleased with them, succeeded in a big exam by smothering sedition in a  critical juncture; his brother Hussein got success in his duty as well.<\/p>\n<p>The  rector of Darululoom Zahedan further said, &#8216;When Mu&#8217;awiya, Allah be  pleased with him, passed away, his son Yazid got the power. Yazid was  not any ideal caliph like his precedents; he dismissed the experienced  and accredits governors replacing them by incapable men like him.  Corruption and aggression affected the nation; Hussein felt the danger  and revolted in that unruly atmosphere against injustice and  oppression.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hussein belongs to all Muslims<\/strong><br \/>Khateeb  of Sunnis pointed that Hussein bin Ali does not belong to any  particular group or sect; rather he is accepted and respectable at all  Muslim sects. Sunni Muslims love him as much as they love other  companions and households of the prophet, peace be upon him. <\/p>\n<p>&#8216;All  Muslims consider Hussein a role model; they followed him and his  philosophy in their lives. Recent uprisings in the Middle East are  influenced by the Hussein&#8217;s movement against the tyranny and unjust acts  of a dictator. Muslim nations raised their voice for justice and  freedom; Hussein&#8217;s uprising proves that arising against the tyrant  rulers who claim to be Muslims, is allowed,&#8217; Shaikh pointed.<\/p>\n<p>Pointing  out to an important matter, Mawlana Abdul Hameed stated that Sunni  Muslims love Hussein and all households of the Prophet, they are sad  over what happened with them in Karbala. If they do not dress black  cloths and do not hold anniversaries of death or martyrdom; that is  because of their juridical matters. We believe that howling is not  allowed and mourning is only three days; the prophet and his companions  never held death anniversary of any one. We imitate them.<\/p>\n<p>At the  end, Khateeb of the grand Makki mosque advised the audience to recite  Holy Qur&#8217;an more on ninth and tenth of Muharram, Tasu&#8217;a and Ashura. He  cheered them up to observe fast on Tasu&#8217;a and Ashura.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Khateeb of Ahl-us-Sunnah in Zahedan, Shaikh Abdul Hameed Ismaeelzahi, began his latest Friday sermon by recitation of the 153-157 verses of Sourah al-Baqarah saying that uprising of Hussien bin Ali, may Allah be pleased with them, was justice-seeking and anti-tyranny.<\/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-19","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-speeches"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19","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=19"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
