Those commands are for the purification and edification of human beings. The philosophy of Islamic rulings is to boost people\u2019s spiritual power.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He called piety (taqwa) the biggest result of fasting and said, \u201cAllah Almighty has declared fasting in Ramadan \u2018obligatory\u2019 to make us pious. Taqwa is the biggest fruit of fasting. The Qur\u2019an is guidance for pious people; they can understand and act upon the Qur\u2019an better than others. Thus we should recite the Qur\u2019an during Ramadan more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alluding to the effects of piety and taqwa in life, the eminent Islamic scholar said, \u201cAccording to the Noble Qur\u2019an \u2018distinction\u2019, \u2018atonement of misdeeds\u2019 \u2018forgiveness\u2019, \u2018salvation\u2019 and \u2018provision\u2019 are the fruits taqwa.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTaqwa is savior in the both worlds and it is the most beautiful dress for pious people. Pious human beings are beloved to Allah. It is the best outfit for the trip of the Hereafter,\u201d he added more. <\/p>\n<p>Shaikh concluded his points and said, \u201cTaqwa means to take care of the rights of Allah and His servants. Piety means to protect from sins and bad acts in life. A pious person avoids misdeeds and never wastes others\u2019 rights. It is the perfume of life that makes people luminous.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bahrain is expected to revoke stripping of Isa Qassim citizenship<\/strong><br \/>\nShaikh Abdol-Hamid pointed out to the cancelation of Ayatollah Isa Qassim\u2019s nationality, a senior Bahraini Shia cleric, and said, \u201cAyatollah Isa Qassim, an outstanding Shia cleric in Bahrain, has lost his nationality due to his objections with the establishment of Bahrain.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reacting to the event, he said, \u201cNone of governments can revoke citizenship of their people \u2013however they show opposition to the establishments. In such circumstance, instead of revoking citizenship there should be a dialogue; people\u2019s due demands should not be ignored.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnfortunately, sectarian, religious and political tensions have reached to their peak. I think those tensions are not religious, but they are political and \u2018religion\u2019 is misused only for provoking people\u2019s religious feelings,\u201d the rector of Darululoom Zahedan underlined.<\/p>\n<p>In the last part of his sermon, Shaikh Abdol-Hamid termed \u2018al-Quds Day\u2019 an important event that reminds Muslims the occupation of the sinister Zionists on Palestine and Masjid al-Aqsa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shaikh Abdol-Hamid urged on the importance of piety terming it the cause of prosperity in the both worlds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":487,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-548","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-speeches"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/548","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=548"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/548\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":639,"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/548\/revisions\/639"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/487"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=548"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=548"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=548"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
