Now who will guide him after Allah? Still, do you not take  lesson?} And enlightened the consequences of following the ego.<\/p>\n<p>He  said that one of the most important things that threatened the human  society over its history is imitation of the self and passions. On the  other hand, the greatest thing which ends up with the success of mankind  is imitation of Shari&#8217;ah and Islam.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Whenever, people failed to  rein their passions, complete failure was their end. As they faced lots  of crises in their routine life. On the opposite side, all nations who  imitate the Shari&#8217;ah law and the Qur&#8217;an and Sunnah, they get complete  success and salvation,&#8217; Mawlana Abdul Hameed added more.<\/p>\n<p>Addressing  tens of thousands in the largest grand mosque of Sunnis in Iran, he  pointed, &#8216;Though, a significant part of the Quran talks about the past  nations and their stories; by studying their conditions it can be  understood that the main reason of their defeat and infamy was imitation  of the self and desires unlimitedly.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The rector of Darululoom  Zahedan went on saying that no doubt accepting some desires, rightly, is  correct and allowed. But, paying numerous attentions to egos is quite  dangerous. Because the human self is very avaricious that never gets  satisfaction with money and properties. This is the point which has been  underlined by the Qur&#8217;an. <\/p>\n<p>He urged that &#8220;imitation of Shari&#8217;ah&#8221;  is the only remedy for Muslims. Muslims of the initial centuries  followed Shari&#8217;ah and Islam in all aspects of life, their tendency to  the worldly tools was in sober and they were trying to reform themselves  and the society. So, they received the fruit of their efforts and all  Muslims had an advanced life and developed society. <\/p>\n<p>Shaikh  further stated that some nations revolted against their rulers recently;  in fact, those tyrant heads and figures have been fond of their desires  and egos. They want extremely to extend their power and bank balances.  Arrogant leaders in some Muslim countries consider the states their  heritages. &#8216;If these aggressive rulers tried to provide justice, their  fate was different. But, Muslim nations have reached to social and  Islamic adolescence after they were disgraced and their countries were  occupied by despots,&#8217; he added. <\/p>\n<p>Shaikh Ismaeelzahi counted  &#8220;repentance&#8221; the only way for salvation and success. He asked the  audience to return to Allah Exalted sincerely. By purification of the  self people can get durable successes. <\/p>\n<p>At the end, Mawlana Abdul  Hameed indicated towards the attacks on two Shiite processions in  Afghanistan&#8217;s Kabul and Mazar-i-Sharif saying that the incident was  painful and shocking. He underlined that such attacks are not in favor  of Islam; rather, sectarian and ethnic violence are the wishes of the  international arrogant powers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Khateeb of Ahl-us-Sunnah in Zahedan, Shaikh Abdul Hameed Ismaeelzahi, talked about the detriments of accepting the self&#8217;s wishes and orders in his Friday&#8217;s sermon on 9th December 2011 in the Grand Makki mosque of Zahedan, Iran.<\/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-20","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-speeches"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20","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=20"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
