It was the reason the enemies of Islam could execute their plots and plans to destabilize Islamic society,\u201d he added more.<\/p>\n<p>The prominent Islamic leader alluded to some plots of the enemies, saying, \u201cThe enemies of Islam have not restricted their plots to direct conflicts and military raids on Islamic lands, rather they could prevail on the Muslim world by cultural, economic and intellectual assaults.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey struggled to restrict Islam to Masjids, terming it a personal issue to get Islam away from the social life of people and eliminate its influences on the society; as they did with Christianity limiting it to churches. Anti-Islam movements launched propagandas to take religion away from markets, offices, society and politics,\u201d Shaikh-ul-Islam Mawlana Abdol-Hamid further said.<\/p>\n<p>He added more, \u201cNot only Western powers and states attacked on the Muslim world culturally and intellectually but all imperialist of the West and East including Russia also have been assaulting on Muslims intellectually and military to occupy them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRegrettably, a considerable part of the Muslim society was deceived by the sinister and heretical propagandas; thus many of Muslims believed religion should be separated from politics. They explain politics to \u2018telling lie\u2019 claiming politicians cannot be religious, because they think a country cannot be administered without telling lie. While Islam urges on true and correct politics. There had been many loyal and truthful politicians; many of prophets including the beloved prophets Suleiman, Dawoud and Muhammad, peace be upon them, who ruled on people without any lie and sophistication.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Guided Caliphs (Kholafa-e-Rashideen) and some other Companions got power and ruled on a great piece of land, but they never told lie and governed on people in the best way. They were religious and pure Muslims who were actively present in all aspects of life; they managed and directed their society and the human world in an exemplary method. There was not a single untrue word or hypocrisy in their politics,\u201d Khateeb of Sunnis underlined.<\/p>\n<p>The member of the Executive Board of MWL criticized politics of the West and stated, \u201cUntrue and false politic belongs to the Europe and most of the other states of our time. Islamic politic is a true and correct politic. Loyalty and truthfulness are the biggest diplomacy of Islam. There is no any stain in the Islamic civilization.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe enemies of Islam imposed their sophisticated and dirty civilization and politics on Muslims and Muslim states; they want to replace the clean Islamic civilization in Muslim states with their sinister civilization that is based on lie, profligate and thousands of taints. They sent rulers after brain washing; they were ashamed to bring Islamic terms and words. They wanted to oppress Islamic movements and preachers by puppet rulers and tyrant leaders in Muslim countries.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Insulting Muslims\u2019 sanctities, reaction of the West to Islamic Awakening<\/strong><br \/>\nKhateeb of Sunnis said, \u201cToday the Islamic awakening suffers from various challenges; they want to create disputes and differences among Muslim sects and groups. But now different classes of Muslims are returning towards Islam and good deeds, so we are optimistic this awakening will go on its correct path.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He underlined, \u201cInsulting Islamic sanctities is a Western reaction to the awakening wave of Muslims. But the Western blasphemers do not know such insults make Muslims more vigilant.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe best way to destabilize the enemies of Islam and please the soul of the prophet, peace be upon him, is returning to the Qur\u2019an and Sunnah by true repentance. In such circumstances a person with a jot of Islamic zeal repents and practices the directions of the Qur\u2019an and Sunnah in his life,\u201d Shaikh Abdol-Hamid reminded. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Tyranny &#038; monopolism, the biggest downfall for any revolution<\/strong><br \/>\nPointing out to the anniversary of the public revolution in Iran, Mawlana Abdol-Hamid termed \u2018unity and justice\u2019 the key secrets for maintenance of Islamic revolution in Iran. <\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cAs the Islamic revolution of Iran succeeded by people\u2019s unity, it can be durable only with unity. For the unity of different ethnic and religious sects and communities justice must be implemented. Justice and fight with discrimination and corruption can protect the unity of us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The outstanding Iranian Sunni leader emphasized, \u201cThe biggest downfall for any revolution is tyranny. The Islamic revolution of Iran resisted with tyranny, dictatorship and partial system. All should be vigilant to avoid from dictatorship and tyranny as it was the purpose of the revolution to eliminate autarchy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He concluded his points by saying, \u201cAs all classes of the society took part in the struggle against dictatorship, today they should remain with the regime gaining their legal rights. The entire nation should be treated unbiasedly. Taking care of the principles and doctrine of the revolution is vital and important for all.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shaikh Abdol-Hamid Isma\u2019eelzahi pointed out to the plans of anti-Islam movements for elimination of Islam terming the view of separation of Islam and politics \u2018anti-Islam\u2019 and a \u2018Western idea\u2019.<\/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":[18,15,17],"class_list":["post-326","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-speeches","tag-shaikh-abdol-hamid","tag-speeches","tag-zahedan"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/326","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=326"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/326\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":456,"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/326\/revisions\/456"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=326"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=326"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=326"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
