Khateeb of Ahl-us-Sunna in Zahedan, Shaikh Abdul Hameed began his Friday sermon by recitation of the verses 191-192 of Soura A’l-e-Imran and enlightened the importance of sagacity and meditation about the creatures of Allah Almighty.
He said that the Almighty has invited the mankind to ponder over the oddball creatures; every one should think why Allah created the skies and earth? What is the rationale behind the rotation of day and night? This reflection leads human beings towards Allah, people can realize the greatness of Almighty Allah, and He gifts His cognition to such mediator persons.
Shaikh added more, ‘If a person utilizes his wisdom in a positive way, Allah will bestow him knowledge about the creatures and he will be aware about the reality of such things. Allah (Subhanau wa Ta’ala) has admired such people who think about the fact of the creatures and realize the greatness of Allah. They always remember Allah and worship Him day and night in every situation.’
Khateeb of Sunnis urged that humankind should utilize ‘wisdom’ positively to develop their worldly life and struggle for betterment of their life of the Hereafter. Wise people would reach to Allah through meditation.
He further said, ‘People must consider why Almighty Allah created the skies and earth with lots of natural resources? All of them for us to take beneficial of the creatures, then worship and obey Him in all aspects of life.’
Mawlana Abdul Hameed declared ‘wisdom’ the greatest blessing of Almighty Allah for mankind. He said that it is so regrettable that some people are very expert in the worldly matters but they do not ponder about the creator of creatures.
‘We must not forget our end and death, a cerecloth is the only income unanimously. We should be thankful to the last prophet and his companions for their sacrifices for humanity. They devoted their all tools and lives for the success of us, thus we should spread their great teachings and seera around the world,’ he concluded.
In another part of his sermon, khateeb of Ahl-us-Sunna said that the government must change the discriminative policies regarding Sunni citizens of Iran, it is more important and needed than developmental projects.
Indicating towards the recent visit of Iran’s president Ahmadi nejad along with his cabinet to Sistan-Balochistan province, Shaikh-ul-Islam Maulana Abdul Hameed said, ‘Undoubtedly welfare is the need of masses, it is expected from any government to develop this field, but implementation of justice and equality is the most important duty of the rulers which strengthens national unification and solidarity.’
He added more that people including Ayatollah Khomeini who rose against Shah’s regime to enforce justice, it had come into being when the masses were suffering from injustice; rulers were not interested to listen the people’s voice, so that people belonging to all aspects of life brought a great revolution.
Talking to tens of thousands worshipers in the grand Makki masjid, the eminent Shaikh said more, ‘The residents of Sista-Balochistan belong to different backgrounds; though Balochs are the local, aboriginal and majority citizens but they have accepted other sects and races besides them. They were living side by side peacefully before the 1979’s revolution; there was not a single case of ethnic or sectarian disputes among the residents of this province.’
Shaikh continued saying that sectarian problems erupted after the revolution, Sunnis are not in favor of sectarian differences, but the root cause of such problems in the province is the discriminative behavior and wrong policies of the rulers over the Sunni citizens.
‘Balochs and Sunnis have been neglecting in all departments due to their sect, such policies are not in the interest of both Shias and Sunnis, rather than it is quietly in the interest of our enemies,’ he further said.
Khateeb of Sunnis called the responsible authorities to stop the wrong acts and discriminatory behavior regarding Sunni Muslims in all parts of Iran.
Mawlana Abdul Hameed emphasized that the government cannot overcome this hot issue, unless the main players of the politics’ field raise their voice against the wrong policies. They should convince the ‘hidden strong hands’ to destroy none of the national security and unity more.
He made it clear, ‘We have been advising all the presidents from the three decades of the new regime’s age; implementation of justice and equality is beneficial for every one in Iran.’
Shaikh Abdul Hameed pointed out that the Iranian rulers claim that they support and assert oppressed minorities around the world, we hope that they begin from their own minorities and ensure providing their rights. He urged that if Sunni citizens of Sistan-Balochistan and other areas get their rights, it would be good for both Sunnis and Shias in Iran and the problems would decrease.
