ZAHEDAN: The new phase of the expansion project of Makki mosque is going on well by the help of almighty Allah and your pray to Him, we do not take financial help from any foreign country, Shaikh Abdul Hameed, Imam of the Sunnis in Zahedan has said.
Pointing to the start of the new phase of expansion project of the largest mosque of the Sunnis in Iran and rebuilding the old building in order to accommodate more worshipers, he further said people have been offering prayers on roads and streets, after enlarging the floors and capacity of the mosque, God welling we all will worship Almighty Allah inside.
The prominent Sunni scholar indicated towards baseless charges of some Shiite extremist elements on the Sunni community to receive support from abroad in order to build Makki mosque, saying, “We think the statements of some elements who accuse us of receiving support from abroad in order to build this mosque are not noticeable, these people just want to charge Ahl al-Sunnah, and it seems if they do not accuse Sunnis of Iran they feel uneasy and some thing makes them agonized.”
Shaikh Abdul Hameed more added, “They (extremist Shiite) do not know but accusation, they do not know anything about the problems and difficulties that we face in providing such limited funds to build the mosque, we provide fund for the re-building project by taking loan from this and that, this money has been gotten through voluntary contributions and the people of this city who are quick to participate in this good deed support the project.”
Talking to the audience he urged, “Those who accuse us of what we do not do, they are mentally ill and poor faith, they do not believe in Allah’s support and aid, in fact, such elements only want to raise public opinion and incite Shiite regime against the Sunnis of Iran.”
