Shaikh Abdol-Hamid denounced insulting cartoons of some French journals about the prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, saying Muslims cannot bear blasphemy of the beloved prophet.
Khateeb of Sunnis began his speech of Jan. 16, 2015 (23 Rabi-ul-Awwal 1436) by the Noble verse of the Qur’an: «ظَهَرَ الْفَسَادُ فِي الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ أَيْدِي النَّاسِ لِيُذِيقَهُم بَعْضَ الَّذِي عَمِلُوا لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ », (Calamities have appeared on land and sea because of what the hands of the people have earned, so that He (Allah) makes them taste some of what they did, in order that they may return (to the right way).) [30: 41] and said, “Today humanity in the world suffers from insecurity and challenges. Terrorism, massacre, and assaults from different angles threaten the world and human beings. Nations in the Muslim world also face such challenges.”
He further said, “By a study on the reasons of insecurity in the world we can recognize ‘guidance’ is the biggest need of human kind nowadays. Despite wonderful and greatmaterial advancements, humankind suffers from different worries. Today’s people cannot manage their worldly life as well as they suffer in the field of spiritual matters and theology.”
“Human beings need guidance in order to enjoy from spiritualty and seeing the facts. Unfortunately humankind is deprived of thinking correctly as most of them suffer from arrogance and vainglory; thus many of human beings denied to imitate the prophets, peace be upon them. Today’s super powers don’t pay attention to others due to their pride and arrogance; therefore they created challenges for themselves and other nations.”
Blasphemers left the path of wisdom
Friday Imam of Sunnis in Zahedan pointed out to the blasphemous cartoons of some French journals regarding the prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, and said, “Blasphemies take place which insult the Last Messenger of Allah prove that many of the people have left the path of wisdom. They are going to provoke the anger of the Almighty and nations across the world.”
“Those who insult our prophet, peace be upon him, they don’t consider 1.7 billion Muslims’ feelings; it is because of their arrogance. Muslims love the prophet Muhammad, peace & prayers be upon him, wholeheartedly as no one can be equal to him in this case. We love our prophet more than our children, parents and other relatives.”
Addressing the rulers of Western countries, rector of Darululoom Zahedan said, “When you allow your citizens to insult the prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, it means you open fire on the chests of all Muslims across the globe. On the other hand, you claim to lead a war on terror; there is repugnance between war on terror and insulting sanctities.”
“However, we condemn terrorism in any condition and we think there is no any connection between Islam and terrorism. You have committed such crimes that not only hurt feelings of pathetic people but also women and kids are upset as they are ready to attack on your soul and interests. Why the French president and other rulers in the West neglect the love and respect of Muslims with the prophet, peace be upon him?”
Shaikh Abdol-Hamid added more addressing French rulers, “I’m sure these are French statesmen and president who deluged their country in insecurity; they have made a peaceful country insecure by closing eyes on the facts of the world. You want to propel people towards terrorism by such steps. When a Pastor insulted the Noble Qur’an as well as the prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, was insulted few years ago, millions of Muslims took to streets protesting the blasphemous stuff; why you couldn’t realize the sensitivity of the case? Wasn’t it a clear message for you?”
“Muslims cannot insult any of religions even Buddhists and worshipers of idols. We respect all prophets and religions, but you don’t respect the honor of the prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, while you proclaim to be civilized and advanced? It is the sign of adversity that saints are being insulted while they are considered to be the leaders towards salvation,” Mawlana Abdol-Hamid underlined.
‘Shoot us by atom bomb but don’t insult Rasoulullah’
The outstanding Sunni leader, Shaikh Abdol-Hamid denounced strongly the insulting cartoon of the prophet Muhammad published on the front page of a French magazine and said, “If you want curse us and abuse our forefathers but do not insult the messenger of Allah, Muhammad, peace be upon him! If you wish shoot thousands of Muslims by bombing and missiles but don’t insult the prophet of mercy. We endure nuclear bombs but insulting the prophet Muhammad is unbearable for us.”
“So don’t insult our sanctities by cartoons; it puts the world ablaze. Let residents of the world to live together peacefully.”
At the end of his sermon before thousands of worshippers in Zahedan, Iran, Shaikh Isma’eelzahi said, “The UN must call for a session and put a stop to such blasphemous activities. All international units, organizations and European states must strive to put an end to insulting tendency of sanctities. If you want us to call on Muslims to support peace in the world, then all international organizations must take clear stances against blasphemy of the prophet, peace be upon him.”
“Those arrogant people do not realize they all human beings have something in common and they can have a peaceful mutual life. All divine religions share common points and as Muslim sects have common tenets more than others. Regrettably some people don’t pay attention to these points,” he added more.
