It is regrettable that people lie easily; they break their promises and vilify others. Muslim men and women should be more faithful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Muslims must know Islam is not limited to some exercises and worships like prayers and fasting, although they are principals of the religion, but Islam includes some other rituals and stuff. Islam has directions for every part of human life, personal and social. A faithful Muslim who has correct tenets gets Allah\u2019s attention; such believers are similar with angels away from animals, Shaikh added more. <\/p>\n<p>Addressing tens of thousands in the Grand Makki Masjid in Zahedan, rector of Darululoom Zahedan pointed, \u201cThe noble Qur\u2019an urges on being loyal and faithful. People in the previous centuries used to bring their promises into actions constantly; even before Islam people were faithful. They declared perjury an ignominy; it has very bad effects on any society. Perjury eliminates mutual trust. Family, social, cultural and political relations and affairs are based on confidence and credit; they have value if loyalty and trust exist.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>In marriage, sons &amp; daughters should be consulted<\/strong><\/span><br \/>Emphasizing on rights of sons and daughters in their marriage, Shaikh Abdol-Hameed asked parents to consult their daughters in particular if there is any suitable proposal. Islam forbids forcing daughters to marry unwillingly. If they dislike any proposal, parents can not force them to accept it against their wishes. <\/p>\n<p>He further said, \u201cSome females talk to strange men via phones and such kinds of sources and propose each other; it is illicit in Islamic point of view and abhorrent in the society. A suitor should contact parent of the woman; they know well who is better for their daughter as they have compassion, experience and full information about their brought-up daughter. Many opportunist men make links with females to defame their families; parents and females should be vigilant.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>Omar bin Khattab enhanced Muslims\u2019 power<\/strong><\/span><br \/>Alluding to the martyrdom anniversary of the Second Caliph, Omar bin Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, Shaikh-ul-Islam Mawlana Abdol-Hameed enlightened some parts of his blessed life. <\/p>\n<p>Omar, may Allah be pleased with him and all companions, was a dignified man before and after Islam in Makkah. He was appointed as the ambassador of people in Makkah before Islam. When he embraced Islam, Muslims got power and moral courage. His Islam was the result of Holy Prophet\u2019s prays, peace &amp; blessings be upon him.<\/p>\n<p>Pointing out toward some virtues of the Second Caliph, Khateeb of Ahl-us-Sunnah said, \u201cOmar is one of the A\u2019sharah Mubasharah, Ten Promised Paradise companions, unanimously. Eminent companions narrated Hadith from him. He was a notable adviser to Holy Prophet, father of his wife as well as his son-in-law; his grand daughter, Om-Kolthum bint Ali, was his wife. <\/p>\n<p>At the end of the first part of his sermon, Shaikh Ismaeelzahi described caliphate of Omar on the path of prophecy. He said we, as Iranian people, owe him a lot; he brought Islam to Iran. We should respect this great companion more than other Muslims. <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>Gaza tragedy; digression of public opinion on ME transitions<\/strong><\/span><br \/>The outstanding Sunni scholar put ongoing aggression of Zionist regime of Israel on Gaza strip an effort to pervert pubic attention from the positive transitions in the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p>Khateeb of Ahl-us-Sunnah in Zahedan made it clear that Israel is afraid of two major issues; independence of Palestine and its appearance as a recognized state in the world map. Secondly, Zionist terrorists strive to mislead people\u2019s opinion from instructive changes of the Middle East. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cZionist rulers and think-tanks are sinister; they have launched their recent attacks on a trivial pretext to get some ominous goals. Wily Israelis want to warn American masses and administration that an independent Palestine would threaten the existence of Israel. They name their massive and barbaric bombardment \u2018defense of Israeli people\u2019. We strongly decry such onslaughts,\u201d he added more.<\/p>\n<p>Talking to tens of thousands in the Grand Makki Masjid, Shaikh Abdol-Hameed said Israel struggles to divert public opinion from the main crises of the Middle East. All nations across the globe reached to this idea that violence should be uprooted; regretfully some powers like the U.S, European powers and Russia promote violence directly or indirectly. They could not stop Israel from the violation of human rights and systematic terrorism.<\/p>\n<p>Member of the IUMS condemned international community\u2019s inefficiency over the series of terror movements of Israel in the region. He entitled Israel an international terrorist who gets the benefits of super powers\u2019 incompetence.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>Culprits behind Sattar Baheshti\u2019s death must be tried<\/strong><\/span><br \/>In another part of his speech, the leading scholar expressed his deep sorrow over the death of \u201cSattar Baheshti\u201d, a young blogger and labor, who was killed after detention by Iranian security forces apparently during torture in jail. <\/p>\n<p>He further said, \u201cThere is no any person who learnt about the death of Mr. Baheshti without getting grief. It is very shameful for us to observe such events in the country; we claim having of thousands-year-long civilization and rich culture!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The tragedy took place in the capital of Iran where the news was obtained by media. It followed by reaction of people and some authorities. But unfortunately we witnessed many similar cases in other cities of the country; they remained secret and victims\u2019 family members were afraid to disclose the incidents! What is the answer of culprits behind such cruel acts before Exalted Allah? <\/p>\n<p>Mawlana Abdol-Hameed pointed more, \u201cWhen an obedient official shows good performance, he gets awards and people feel proud. In the same way, whenever any statesman carries out a bad deed, he should be tried as it defames the entire country. Regrettably, the second type of authorities is a lot in Iran. It is better to lose guilty officials instead of killing justice, defaming regime and Islam. If the administration punished the culprits of \u201cKahrizak\u201d tragedy, we would not have seen such kinds of murder cases.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The pertinent authorities have a great responsibility; they must never adopt unjust actions. Islamic Shari\u2019ah, the national constitution and law forbid torture of detainees for getting confession; if any prisoner confesses something under force and torture, it is illegal and judges can not try anyone on the strength of such confessions. Islam urges on dignity of mankind and human rights. Even while punishing criminals the honor of human beings should be realized. We advise the rulers and nation to take care of law and Islamic regulations. <\/p>\n<p>At the end of his sermon, Shaikh stated his condolences over the demise of late Mawlana Abdol-Wahed Moradzahi, rector of Dar-ul-Hoda seminary of Ismaeelabad Khash. He prayed for his full forgiveness and patience of his family to Allah Almighty. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Khateeb of Sunni Muslims in Zahedan, Shaikh Abdol-Hameed Ismaeelzahi, began his latest Friday sermon, 16 Nov. 2012, by reading holy verses 40-43 of Sourah Shura urging on the importance of faithfulness.<\/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-99","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-speeches"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99","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=99"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=99"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=99"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=99"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
