“Obedience”, “Cordiality” two Principles of Faith

Mawlana Abdol-Ghani Badri, the interim Friday imam of Sunnis in Zahedan, began his sermon of May 20, 2016 by the recitation of some verses of “Dhaariat” chapter and shed light on the importance of the rights of the Almighty and human beings.
“SunniOnline” reported, Mawlana Badri pointed out to the branches of faith (Iman) and said, “Our faith has two principles and branches; the first one is about obedience and imitating the orders of the Almighty. The other one calls on us to be soft and kind with the creatures of the Sublime.”
“The completion of faith is possible only with those two factors. The creatures of the Almighty are not only human beings; animals also have some rights. According to Hadith, on the Judgment Day some people would be punished due to the rights of animals,” he added more.
Expressing the importance of the human rights, the vice-rector of Darululoom Zahedan said, “Human beings are the best creature of the Almighty and their rights are the most important ones. The people who carry out all religious rituals and obligations day and night, but their colleagues, friends and neighbors are not safe, they violate others’ rights. Such people’s faith is incomplete as a Hadith suggests.”
“As well as, if a person is busy all the time in providing services to the creatures of Allah, but s/he neglects his/her Creator and Owner, s/he also does not have a complete faith. The righteous person with full faith is the one who considers the rights of both the Almighty and His creatures. Such persons deserve to enter paradise on the Accountability Day,” Shaikh Abdol-Ghani Badri further said.
He termed ‘beneficence’ and ‘philanthropy’ one of the characters of the pious people and said, “Beneficence has a vast meaning which includes both the realization of the rights of Allah and His creatures.”
“The second attribute of the pious people is that they sleep less as they get involved in the worship of the Almighty. They seek forgiveness of the Almighty at dawns.”
The Tafseer teacher of Darululoom Zahedan mentioned ‘supporting poor and needy people’, the other attribute of pious men and said, “Pious people always allocate some shares of their properties for needy people.”
At the end of his speech before the worshipers in Zahedan, Iran, Mawlana Abdol-Ghani alluded to the holy months of Sha’ban and Ramadan and said, “Sha’ban and Ramadan are the months of worship. Worship the Almighty more than any other time and pay attention to the creatures of Allah.”
