He was talking to thousands of worshippers in Zahedan on Friday, April 18, 2014.<\/span><\/p>\n

Allah is surely with us.\u201d So, Allah caused His tranquility to descend on him, and supported him with troops that you did not see, and rendered the word of the disbelievers humiliated. And the word of Allah is the uppermost. Allah is Mighty, Wise.<\/em>); [9: 40]<\/span><\/p>\n

He added more, \u201cOnce the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: \u201cNo wealth has benefited me much like the wealth of Abu-Bakr.\u201d Hearing this Sayyidana Abu-Bakr Seddiq, may Allah be pleased with him, cried and said: \u201cNo one owns my life or my wealth except you O Messenger of Allah!\u201d another Hadith suggests: \u201cAbu-Bakr is my companion, my friend in the cave, so know him for this. If I were to take a bosom friend I would have taken Abu-Bakr.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Alluding to the story of migration of the prophet along with his best companion, the rector of Darululoom Zahedan said, \u201cDuring the stay at Cave Thawr, it is reported that Sayyidana Abu-Bakr\u2019s wife would cook and his daughter, Asma, would sneak away to the cave to give them the provisions. Thus, as-Seddiq supported the Messenger of Allah with literally everything he had; his family, his wealth, and indeed his own life.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEvery Muslim who is true to his religion follows in the example of as-Seddiq; indeed, love for Allah and His Messenger is our salvation,\u201d he underlined.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Islamic scholar added more, \u201cAfter three days in Cave Thawr, Sayyidana Abu-Bakr and the Messenger of Allah proceeded to Madinah. As they walked, it is reported that Sayyidana Abu-Bakr walked in different directions; sometimes to the right, sometimes to the left, ahead or behind the Beloved Messenger. Upon enquiry, he explained, \u201cBeloved of Allah, when I walk behind, I fear lest the enemy attack you from the front so I move there. And when I walk to your right, I fear lest the enemy attack you from the left so I move there.\u201d Yes! This is called love and care.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

After explaining the story of the migration to Madinah, Mawlana further said, \u201cWhen these great companions of the prophet sacrificed their lives to protect Islam and the Last Messenger of Allah, they did not know anything about the future; they did not know one day the beloved prophet would establish a state and they will be successors of him. Rather they provided their all sincere services to achieve the pleasure of Allah.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe owe all of the companions; because they sacrificed their lives for a person who is dearer to us than our children, wife and parents,\u201d he added more.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fatimah & Wives of the prophet examples for society<\/span><\/strong>
Pointing out to the birth anniversary of Fatimah, daughter of the prophet Muhammad, peace & blessings be upon him, he said, \u201cFatimah, may Allah be pleased with her, was a pious and well-trained woman who spent her whole life with poverty.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The eminent Islamic A\u2019lim said, \u201cSayyidah Fatimah and the Clean Wives of the prophet, may Allah be pleased with all of them, are examples in our societies; they worshipped Allah Almighty day and night sincerely, they loved Allah not the worldly tools. So our women should adopt them their ideals not Western actresses and so called \u2018misses universe\u2019.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWomen have a great and high status; all great men in history were trained by these women. Their influential role in advancement of Islam cannot be ignored\u201d, he concluded.<\/span><\/p>\n

The trip of the president was unprecedented<\/strong> <\/span>
Alluding to the recent trip of the Iranian president to Sistan-Baluchistan, Khateeb of Sunnis in Zahedan called the trip unprecedented and unique in the contemporary history of this poor province of Iran.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shaikh Abdol-Hamid declared the current president of Iran a \u2018sober\u2019 man who believes in temperance in politics and other affairs. <\/span>
\u201cWe think the trip of Dr. Rouhani has many advantages for the province; he examined the problems of the province gently and subtly. It shows he has a broad mind. Soon we will witness some positive changes and people\u2019s problems will reduce by the help of Allah Almighty,\u201d he added more.<\/span><\/p>\n

The outstanding Sunni leader expressed his satisfaction with the plans and decisions of the president for Sistan-Baluchistan, saying, \u201cThe president highlighted the sensitive issues of the province with an open mind. I thank the president and his cabinet on the behalf of myself and the people of Sistan-Baluchistan. We hope the province will advance in all fields soon by productive plans of the government and utilizing the abilities of local residents.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Khateeb of Sunnis gave thanks to the people of Zahedan and the rest of the province over warm welcome of the president on his arrival to Zahedan. He termed the warm welcome of people suitable and in accordance with the local traditions of the people.<\/span><\/p>\n

The secret behind development & peace is fraternity<\/strong> <\/span>
Mawlana Abdol-Hamid reminded two important messages of him to the people of Sistan-Baluchistan in another part of his speech, saying, \u201cMy first message to the people of Sistan-Baluchistan is to be united and start a new phase of fraternity and friendship; all communities must work hard for mutual solidarity to discourage their enemies and encourage the officials for more investment in the province.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The member of the IUMS asked the residents of Sistan-Baluchistan to maintain law and order, and have an active role in the peace of the region. \u201cThere must not be rubbery, abduction and any other insecurity. Security and fraternity can ensure the ultimate development of the province. It is a good point that the president has put his trust on the people in the case of security. Security forces are supporters of people in bringing peace in the region.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

At the end of his speech, Shaikh Abdol-Hamid expressed his hope on the bright future of the Muslim world.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
