Shaikh-ul-Islam Mawlana Abdol Hamid, during today\u2019s Friday prayer (September 6th, 2024) in Soran, the capital of Sib and Soran County, emphasized that wealth, status, and health are among the blessings through which Allah tests human beings. He stressed that people should use these blessings and the opportunity of life to prepare for the afterlife and attain paradise.
According to the office of the Sunni Friday Prayer leader of Zahedan, Mawlana Abdol Hamid stated: \u201cAllah Almighty has made this world a place of trials and tests. Allah is the creator of both good and evil, and He tests people through both. The purpose of both sinful acts and acts of worship is to test human beings through them.\u201d He referred to Quranic verses such as, \u201cWe tested them with both prosperity and adversity\u201d [A’raf: 168] and \u201cWe test you with both bad and good trials, and to us you will return\u201d [Anbiya: 35], explaining that life\u2019s trials come in many forms.
He added: \u201cAllah tests some people with wealth to see if they express gratitude. Others are tested with hardships to see if they remain patient. Some are tested with blessings to determine if they fall into neglect. Allah wants to test our faith and patience through these trials.\u201d
The head of Darul Uloom Zahedan noted: \u201cAllah has created this world for us, and we must use it wisely to benefit our afterlife. If wealth and resources are used correctly, they can lead to the best form of worship and ultimately to paradise. However, if wealth is used for corruption, sin, and injustice, it leads to ruin.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Positions of Power and Job Roles are Divine Tests; Everyone’s Actions are Under Allah’s Watch<\/strong> Heaven and Hell are the Results of Our Deeds in This World<\/strong> Dear people! Be vigilant and walk the path of truth \/ Scholars must be with the people and serve them<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In the closing part of his speech at the Friday prayer in Soran, Molana Abdulhamid said: “Dear people! Be cautious not to fall into heedlessness. Be awake; the one who enjoys blessings but does not see God is like a person in sleep. If they were truly awake, they would see Allah as the One who has granted them these blessings in their hearts.” He added: “Dear people! Live with God and for God. Be just, walk the path of truth, and align yourselves with it. Allah commands the same, saying: ‘O you who believe! Fear Allah and be with the truthful.’ Make a commitment to yourself to be truthful and never to lie. Unfortunately, in today’s society, truthfulness is scarce, and lies, accusations, and slanders are widespread.” The Friday Imam of Zahedan continued: “My advice to sisters is to follow the commands of Allah and take care of your children. The upbringing of children lies mostly with mothers. The home should be a place of religion, teaching of the Quran, and prayer. Teach your children knowledge and wisdom. Scholars too should live for the sake of God, be with the people, and serve them, as this preserves the religious spirit and integrity of society.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Shaikh-ul-Islam Mawlana Abdol Hamid, during today\u2019s Friday prayer (September 6th, 2024) in Soran, the capital of Sib and Soran County…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":14605,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14604","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-c81-speeches"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
Mawlana Abdol Hamid emphasized: \u201cAt times, Allah tests a person with a position of authority to see if they use it to benefit or harm others. An officer carrying a weapon is tested by Allah to see whether they point it at criminals or innocents.\u201d
He continued: \u201cThose in high positions, such as the presidency, are also tested by Allah. The actions of all leaders, scholars, elders, and every individual are under Allah’s observation. These positions are blessings from Allah, and through them, He tests us.\u201d
He pointed out: \u201cAllah loves those who not only avoid sin and worship Him but also encourage others to do the same. He loves those who show compassion for both the worldly and spiritual well-being of others and those who teach knowledge, whether religious or worldly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Friday Prayer leader of Zahedan remarked: \u201cIn reality, the experiences of this world are examples of both heaven and hell. The peace and tranquility one feels are the result of the good deeds they perform, and the hardships endured for Allah’s sake are part of this journey. The Prophet (PBUH) said: \u2018Hell is veiled with desires, and Paradise is veiled with hardships.\u2019 One cannot reach paradise without going through these difficulties.\u201d
He elaborated: \u201cPerforming prayers, giving zakat, fulfilling the pilgrimage, observing the rights of Allah and the rights of people, and respecting human dignity are difficult tasks, but enduring these hardships leads one to paradise. Additionally, there is joy in these difficulties because they are acts of obedience to Allah. A person whose soul has been reformed finds pleasure in worshiping and feels peace knowing they have worshiped their Creator.\u201d
He added: \u201cThe one who endures hardships and difficulties in the path of Allah in this world, on the Day of Judgment, Allah will open the gates of Paradise for them and say: ‘The difficulties you endured in the world have now turned into comfort and joy for you.’ But those who have been caught in sin and disobedience in their worldly life, setting no limits or restrictions on themselves and indulging in whatever they pleased, will be brought before the Lord on the Day of Judgment. Allah will cast such individuals, along with Satan, into Hell and punish them with the harshest and most severe torment. Hell, in fact, is the result of a person’s actions in this world.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
