People are in Very Difficult Conditions and are Enduring Hunger

Shaikh-ul-Islam Mawlana Abdol-Hamid, on May 22, 2026 in the Friday prayer ceremony of Zahedan, expressed his regret over the economic and livelihood problems of the people and the “limitless inflation” in the country.
He noted: The Iranian nation are the main owners of this country and its vast wealth, but they are in very difficult conditions and are enduring hunger.

According to the report of the Zahedan Friday Imam’s office, Mawlana Abdol-Hamid stated in a part of his speech: Before the war, the economic condition of the country and the people was on the verge of destruction, the national currency had lost its value, and inflation and high prices were rampant. But now that the country is in a state of war, inflation and high prices have no limits.
He further noted: The noble and great nation of Iran are the main owners of this country and its vast wealth, but they are in very difficult conditions and are enduring hunger. In these circumstances, who should think about these people? Those who have responsibility in this field and in whose hands the affairs lie, what answer will they have on the Day of Judgment for the sufferings and hardships of this nation?

The Government Has no Effective Role in Domestic and Foreign Policies / The Problem is in the Constitution
The Friday Imam of Zahedan continued: People say we have elected a government that has no authority. Elsewhere, decision-making regarding domestic and foreign policies is in the hands of the government, but unfortunately, in our country, the government has no effective role in national and international policies except for execution and implementation.
He added: The problem lies in the constitution, and as long as no change is made in the constitution, no one can organize the country’s situation. The problems and crises of the country must be pathologically analyzed.

The People of Iran Have Many Words and Grievances
Mawlana Abdol-Hamid further said: The people of Iran have many words and grievances as they have lost their material assets, and many have also had their religiosity damaged in these political conflicts and have become pessimistic toward religion. There is no defect or weakness in religion, the Prophet, or the Qur’an; any weakness that exists is in the performance of us. Therefore, my advice is not to blame the weak performance of humans on Islam and not to become pessimistic toward religion.
He added: We ask Allah Almighty to remove calamities and problems from our country and guide the country in the correct and right direction so that the dear nation of Iran can leave these sufferings behind and reach dignity and pride.

Internet Shutdown Torments People; End this Process
The Friday Imam of Zahedan, in the final part of his speech, criticized the “shutdown of the international internet” in the country, and said: The internet shutdown in the country is annoying for the general public. In the current era, the internet is among human needs, and all sectors of nations’ lives are tied to the internet.
Addressing the country’s officials, he stated: End the process of shutting down the internet so that it becomes available to everyone and people are freed from this suffering.
