Selected Remarks by Shaikh-ul-Islam Mawlana Abdol Hamid at the Event Honoring the Qur’an Memorizers of Hazrat Abu Dharr al-Ghifari Madrasa in Zahedan, Wednesday, Oct 16th 2024:

Divine_Blessings

🔰 Humans are among the most valuable creations of God. The earth, heavens, stars, and all the universe were created for the benefit and needs of humans, and humans themselves were created to worship their Lord.
🔰Humans are created for the worship and servitude of God. Animals, gardens, and all creatures offer their products to humans so that they can follow the commands of their Creator.
🔰If serving others, caring for God’s servants, and even animals is done for the sake of Allah, God Almighty will be pleased with that person.

Mercy_and_Compassion

🔰Anyone who treats creation with kindness and compassion will be forgiven by God, but those who commit oppression and injustice are destined for hell.
🔰Allah loves that His servants be compassionate and kind to each other. Without mercy and fairness, even night prayers, memorizing the Qur’an, and good deeds cannot save one from divine punishment.
🔰”Compassion for people,” “kindness to creation,” and “fear of God” are highly valued by Allah. He loves when His servants are merciful and gentle with one another.
🔰The pleasure of Allah is attained with patience, forbearance, tolerance, and gentleness.

Morality

🔰Good morals are valued higher than acts of worship such as prayers, fasting, and pilgrimage. Enduring the harsh behavior of others, whether from a neighbor or a spouse, is a significant act and carries a great reward.
🔰Slander, foul language, and indecency are major immoralities, while chastity and modesty are highly valued by Allah.
🔰”Religion,” “the Qur’an,” “divine teachings,” and “the life of the Prophet (PBUH)” are among the valuable blessings of God. We must follow God’s commands, strengthen our faith, and fortify our connection with Allah.
🔰The teachings of Islam shape a person, eliminate ugly behavior, and lead them to righteousness. Those who observe others’ rights and seek the pleasure of Allah will ultimately reach paradise.
🔰Do not violate anyone’s rights and respect people’s rights. Show respect to everyone and do not provoke anyone to anger. When a person loses control in anger, they violate others’ rights, and this leads to God’s displeasure.
🔰Hold onto your religion firmly, live righteously, and stay connected with God. A godly person performs their duties and avoids harming others and committing sins.
🔰Ethnic and tribal wars cause great casualties. In peace, both sides benefit, and a fair peace is a true victory.
🔰Consult with women and daughters. Sometimes their advice is more mature. Women should also consult with men.
🔰Allah is with those who are pious and do not violate His boundaries, nor oppress or transgress against anyone.

The Companions of the Prophet (PBUH)

🔰The Companions of the Prophet (PBUH) were righteous people; they showed mercy to believers and stood firm against disbelievers. They had a great love for performing prayers and sought the pleasure of God Almighty.
🔰Unfortunately, today Muslims lack mercy for each other, and they show little interest in prayer.
🔰The Qur’an and the gatherings of the Prophet (PBUH) had such a profound impact on the Companions that they transformed into righteous individuals.
🔰The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) raised the Companions with such excellence that no one can match his ability to train and guide human beings. The Prophet (PBUH) was a perfect mentor.

Knowledge_and_Education

🔰Knowledge and education are of great value. Encourage your children to become literate and educated, and engage with schools in this regard.
🔰Knowledge, education, and the memorization of the Qur’an are immense blessings. Memorizers of the Qur’an should recite three parts of the Qur’an daily and maintain their connection with it until death.
🔰Forgetting the Qur’an is a major sin. Memorizers should strive to preserve the Qur’an, recite it in their prayers, and act upon its teachings while spreading its knowledge in society.
🔰Any nation that acquires knowledge and education becomes honored, while any nation that neglects knowledge will see its rights trampled.
