Khateeb of Sunnis in Zahedan, Iran, urged on the unity of Muslims everywhere calling solidarity an indisputable need that is proved by the Noble Qur’an.
Shaikh Abdol-Hamid alluded to the Week of Unity in Iran in his sermon of Jan. 2, 2015 and said, “When it is said ‘Week of Unity’, it does not mean unity is for one week; this week has got the title of unity because of difference between Shia and Sunni texts regarding the birth date of the beloved prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. He was the messenger of unity and solidarity.”
“The Last Messenger of Allah made the Aūs and Khazraj tribes ‘brothers’ after a 120 year-long conflict. It was a practical example of unity,” he added more.
Khateeb of Sunnis further said, “Unity is a need and a strategy. Besides, it is the need of society as the Noble Qur’an enjoins Muslims to be united. Both the Qur’an and Sunnah call on Muslims to remain unified.”
“Unfortunately, sectarian clashes and differences have spread in the Muslim world; the international Zionism movement and other arrogant powers strive and plot to intensify disputes among Muslims. Those powers have realized they cannot defeat Islam, thus they do not leave any stone unturned to boost sectarian clashes among Muslims. The enemies want to ensure their political, economic and cultural interests. They want to sabotage Islamic awakening.”
Terming the security of Israel one of the main aims of anti-Islam powers and said, “It is obligatory for all of us and Muslims to be united. All tendencies and schools of thought including Shia and Sunni communities must have fraternity.”
He reminded the advices of the Iranian Supreme Leader and other officials on the issue of unity and said, “Execution of justice and equal view regarding all ethnic and religious communities can play a key role in the case of unity. We are enjoying from a good unity and fraternity in Iran and especially in Sistan-Baluchistan.”
Security is stable in Sistan-Baluchistan
The rector of Darululoom Zahedan expressed his satisfaction with the ongoing situation of the province of Sistan-Baluchistan saying, “There is an appreciable mutual understanding among Shia and Sunni scholars, intellectuals, elders and the rest of classes of the society; their peaceful coexistence has made the enemies disappointed.”
“Also, the province [of Sistan-Baluchistan] is going through a stable security condition; apart from sporadic incidents take place at borders of the country which are denounced by us, the writ is implemented in the country.”
Iran provides best facilities for pilgrims in Makkah & Madinah
In another part of his Friday sermon, Shaikh Abdol-Hamid pointed out to his latest trip for Umrah and visit of the Land of Revelation giving thanks to the Iranian official over providing facilities for pilgrims.
He said, “Iran has the best planning for pilgrims in the holy sites of the KSA. It is appreciable that they work hard for the comfort of people.”
The prophet was acting on his words
Khateeb of Sunnis shed light on the moral exclusivities of the beloved prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, and said, “The Last Messenger of Allah was the sun of guidance who was acting upon whatever he was enjoining others to carry out.”
“Ulama can be influential in the society when they carry out on the good words they call on others to bring them into action.”
The chairman of the Coordination Council of Sunni Seminaries of Sistan-Baluchistan said, “The patience and tolerance of the prophet, peace be upon him, and his resistance with crudities and harsh times are unique in the world. The world was impressed by Muslims unless they were carrying out the Seerah and Sunnah of the prophet, peace be upon him.”
“Islam advanced in different parts of the world by moral and good behavior not force and sword. Some people claim that Iranians accepted Islam in the shadow of sword, but I tell you with certainty that Iranians and other nations did not embrace Islam by force. Rather they accepted Islam with knowledge and recognition.”
Mawlana Abdol-Hamid concluded his points, “The force of Jihad and Islam collapsed down cruel kings and the system of tyrant kingdom. But Islam entered the hearts of people with reasoning and logic. Islam does not compel anyone to accept Islam or he would lose his life. Islam is the wish of humanity and the way of prosperity and comfortable life in the both worlds.”
