The eminent Iranian scholar called on the revision of some criminal laws in Iran in the \u2018Judiciary Week\u2019 on June 24, 2016.<\/p>\n
Talking to tens of thousands worshipers in Zahedan, Iran before the Friday prayers, Shaikh Abdol-Hamid alluded to the presence of the provincial director of the Justice Ministry in the gathering and said, \u201cWe are happy to have impartial and fair directors and officers in our province which enjoys diversity in the ethnic and religious communities. It is a blessing of Allah.\u201d<\/p>\n
Khateeb of Sunnis in Zahedan pointed out to the week of counter-narcotics in Iran and said, \u201cNarcotics is one of the important crises in our country and the rest of the world. It is a threat to the humanity. Just see an addict to take lesson from their regrettable situation. There is no need of any propaganda and advice if people see the pitiable condition of addicts.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThere must be serious efforts to get rid of drugs. This problem cannot be resolved only by the security forces and judicial penalties, rather a cultural and a positive public movement can repel the phenomenon,\u201d he underlined. <\/p>\n
Demanding \u2018revision\u2019 of some judicial decrees in Iran, Shaikh Abdol-Hamid said, \u201cMany of the criminal laws have been derived from the Qur\u2019an and Hadith; no one can argue about them. But many laws and decrees are the results of the views of experts and well-experienced judges. Such decrees are revisable, especially when an Ejtihad or view of an expert does not have the expected result.\u201d<\/p>\n
Drug trafficking is a crime with the possible capital punishment in Iran. The number of judicial executions has gone up in recent years.<\/p>\n
He termed formation of \u2018Reconciliation Councils\u2019, \u2018Diyah (blood money) Committee\u2019 and \u2018efforts to reform prisoners and teach them the Qur\u2019an\u2019 the most important great works the judiciary in Iran.<\/p>\n
Do not miss the opportunities of Ramadan<\/strong> \u201cAllah Almighty has presented the projects and rulings of Islam for the prosperity of mankind. One of the important programs for fighting against Satan and the exciting self is the holy month of Ramadan. This is the month in which the Noble Qur\u2019an was revealed. The Night of Destiny is in this month which is better than one thousand months,\u201d he added more.<\/p>\n The rector of Darululoom Zahedan further said, \u201cFasting is an unexampled worship with amazing influences on the reformation and purification of mankind. Do not miss the days and nights of Ramadan; offer prayers, recite the Qur\u2019an and remember Allah in those days and nights.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cA narration of Sayyidah Ayishah, may Allah be pleased with her, suggests the prophet, peace be upon him, used to perform I\u2019tikaf in the last ten full days of Ramadan in the mosque. He used to advise others to sit for I\u2019tikaf, too. I\u2019tikaf is for to be away from all activities and just worship Allah and discover the destiny night,\u201d Shaikh Abdol-Hamid pointed out.<\/p>\n In the last part of his sermon, the outstanding Iranian Sunni leader shed light on the status of the fourth caliph, Ali bin Abi-Talib, may Allah be pleased with him, and said, \u201cAli, may Allah be pleased with him, is the example of piety. The households of the prophets are beloved with all.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe respect of Sahabah and the Mothers of the Believers, may Allah be pleased with all of them, should be protected. The statements and the verdict of the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei which urge insulting any of the Clean Wives of the prophet PBUH means insulting the prophet himself are good steps in the Islamic unity,\u201d Mawlana said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The eminent Iranian scholar called on the revision of some criminal laws in Iran in the \u2018Judiciary Week\u2019 on June 24, 2016.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":445,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-634","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\/634","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=634"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/634\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":635,"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/634\/revisions\/635"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/445"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=634"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=634"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=634"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
