Throughthese sources, He told people what to do and what to not do. Allah has made the very important deeds \u2018obligatory\u2019 for Muslims and the devastating acts \u2018Haram\u2019 and forbidden.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cThe responsibility of conveying the commands of Allah was on the shoulders of prophets before. Until the prophecy of our beloved prophet, peace be upon him; now the Ummah of the prophet Muhammad has to carry out this great duty. We all are on duty to call on others to the right way, to enjoin all towards good and forbid them from wrong. Muslims must work hard to purify themselves first, and then go on the footprints of the prophets, peace be upon all of them,\u201dShaikh Abdol-Hamid further said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The rector of Darululoom Zahedan, the biggest Islamic seminary of the Sunni community in Iran, went on to say more, \u201cIt is the natural law of the universe that committing a sin makes the man to commit more and more evil deeds. Allah says in the Noble Qur\u2019an: \u00ab\u0645\u064e\u0646 \u0642\u064e\u062a\u064e\u0644\u064e \u0646\u064e\u0641\u0652\u0633\u064b\u0627 \u0628\u0650\u063a\u064e\u064a\u0652\u0631\u0650 \u0646\u064e\u0641\u0652\u0633\u064d \u0623\u064e\u0648\u0652 \u0641\u064e\u0633\u064e\u0627\u062f\u064d \u0641\u0650\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0623\u064e\u0631\u0652\u0636\u0650 \u0641\u064e\u0643\u064e\u0623\u064e\u0646\u0651\u064e\u0645\u064e\u0627 \u0642\u064e\u062a\u064e\u0644\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0646\u0651\u064e\u0627\u0633\u064e \u062c\u064e\u0645\u0650\u064a\u0639\u064b\u0627\u00bb, (<em>whoever kills a person not in retaliation for a person killed, nor (as a punishment) for spreading disorder on the earth, is as if he has killed the whole of humankind<\/em>); it proves when a person kills somebody unreasonably and illegally, he paves the way for more killings in any society. In the same way, usury spreads this big sin in the society exciting others to commit such sins. When there are sins in the society, people cannot deny their duties regarding the involved individuals. It is a wrong idea to neglect duty; Islam calls on the individuals to enjoin others to good and forbid them from wrong.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">He underlined the perfect religion of Islam is the religion of responsibility and mandate. Muslims should not keep silent when they see any misdeed in the society. They should carry out their duty of \u2018enjoining to good and forbidding evil\u2019. The beloved prophet and his companions used to react on observing any misdeed. It must not be forgotten that \u2018discretion\u2019 and \u2018wisdom\u2019 are the preconditions of Da\u2019wah, calling to good and forbidding from bad.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Khateeb of the Sunni Muslims in Zahedan, provincial capital of Sistan-Baluchistan, southeastern Iran, alluded to the stages of \u2018forbidding from wrong deeds\u2019 and said, \u201cIf someone can halt others from doing bad by the help of hand, s\/he must do so. It is the first and best step of forbidding others when the person can stop others doing wrong with his hand; commonly it is the responsibility of rulers and heads of the states to not let people committing sins, otherwise they would be questioned on the Judgment Day.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Pointing out to the second stage, Shaikh Isma\u2019eelzahi said, \u201cIf somebody is unable to use his hand and influence to forbid others from wrong actions, he must use the force of his tongue. If we see any neighbor committing misdeeds, we should, warn him, at least by tongue. If we neglect this duty, in result we will see more misdeeds and corruptions in the society which may affect us and our children too. If we are not in any of the above positions, the term of the last stage begins; by seeing any misdeed, at least our faces must change and we should be annoyed with that sin.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Shaikh-ul-Islam Mawlana Abdol-Hamid indicated to the consequences of misdeeds in any society, saying, \u201cThe outbreak of sins and evil in any society brings the anger and punishment of Allah. A famous narration of the prophet, peace be upon him, suggests that when sins spread among any nation, the punishment of Allah would come down. Good people would pray, making Du\u2019a, but their Du\u2019as would not be accepted. Nowadays people complain they pray to Allah but their Du\u2019as are not accepted, the reason is the prevalence of sins and the negligence of people over the spread misdeeds.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cAs there are some contagious diseases and health care officials struggle to halt such diseases, in the same method there are many infectious sins which are dangerous for spiritual and outwardhealth of the society.If we and the rest of responsible sides do not strive to rein laziness in offering prayers, Hijab (veil) and many other sins, the bad consequences of those misdeeds would affect the entire society. If members of any family show negligence in their religious duties, the entire family would meet bad effects of \u2018neglecting duty\u2019. Sins are like cancer and very perilous diseases which may demolish any society completely,\u201d chairman of the Coordination Council of Sunni Seminaries underlined.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Shaikh Abdol-Hamid termed purification of society a \u2018public responsibility\u2019, saying, \u201cSome people may think it is only the duty of Islamic scholars and preachers to fight with misdeeds and purify individuals; it is an incorrect idea, every person has responsibilities to resist as much as s\/he can and meditate how to reform the society.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shaikh Abdol-Hamid Isma\u2019eelzahi termed \u2018enjoining good and forbidding evil\u2019 the only way to protect any society and reform it as it is the duty of all Muslims to be careful about their brothers and sisters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3185","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-c81-speeches"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
