Excerpts from Shaikh-ul-Islam Mawlana Abdol Hamid’s Speech in Abgah and Kuchink, Nikshahr Suburbs — Saturday, October 26, 2024

Quran

🔹The salvation of humanity lies in the recitation and practice of the Quran. God has the power to transform people into valuable beings through the Quran.
🔹Learning the Quran is essential. The Quran is simple; learn it, and study Hadith. The Quran imparts beautiful lessons. In the Quran, Allah instructs the Prophet to say, “My prayer, sacrifice, life, and death are all for Allah.”
🔹A person whose love, focus, and thoughts are entirely devoted to Allah becomes a source of blessing for the nation. Those who cling to materialism and spread corruption are worthless. On the Day of Judgment, God will neither look at them nor speak to them.
🔹Safeguard both faith and worldly affairs; do not trade religion for the world. A person who lies or commits crimes is selling their faith for worldly gain.

Path_to_Guidance

🔹The Prophet Muhammad PBUH brought a complete program for human development from Allah Almighty.
🔹Knowledge, technology, industry, and advancements serve to build the world, but the Prophet Muhammad’s PBUH program is meant to develop human character. This program can transform an earthly being into a precious entity and guide them toward Paradise and the vision of God.
🔹All transformations arise from thought, reflection, and remembrance of God. Prophet Muhammad PBUH pondered deeply on the stones and sands, and in caves, he sought the salvation of humanity, which was suffering from a moral, spiritual, and intellectual decline, needing a divine plan for liberation. 🔹Reading and writing facilitate both material and spiritual transformations. The Prophet PBUH transformed the world through the principles of “selflessness,” “love of God,” and “monotheism.” This guidance brings salvation, happiness, and success.
🔹The teachings of the Prophet PBUH are life-saving and life-giving for all humankind. The blessings of the Quran, Kaaba, and the Prophet’s life belong to all people. His life provides the blueprint for human development and the straight path leading to Paradise.
🔹The Prophet PBUH is on the straight path, and if we adhere to his teachings, we will achieve prosperity and happiness.
🔹If the world seeks spiritual growth and progress, it should cling to the Prophet’s guidance. We are the inheritors of this path and must introduce it to others.
🔹Belief in the “Oneness of God,” “Prophets,” and “Hereafter” brings about a profound transformation in a person. These are eternal and enduring treasures. The world, with all its advancements, will eventually fade, but faith will remain.
🔹The Prophet’s guidance includes faith, prayer, fasting, charity, kinship, helping others, supporting the weak, and showing compassion. The world thirsts for these beautiful teachings.
🔹The Prophet Muhammad PBUH was a mercy for all humankind. His being a mercy teaches us to be compassionate to everyone and to care about their salvation in this world and the Hereafter.
🔹The Prophet PBUH imparted beautiful teachings of ethics, which the world now benefits from. We possess great honor and dignity rooted in faith, religion, the Quran, ethics, and beautiful commandments, bringing forth a tremendous transformation.
🔹Addiction causes harm and loss. Despite economic hardships, everyone is advised to refrain from cultivating and dealing in drugs. If there is profit in this, God will provide it through other means.
🔹This region has recently been tested by earthquakes. May Allah remove this trial permanently from your area, bring peace to this land, and provide you with comfort.
🔹The people of this region are renowned for their hospitality. Hospitality is a tradition of the Prophets, especially Prophet Ibrahim and the Prophet Muhammad PBUH, and is a cherished cultural heritage in this region.
