‘Because of Efforts of Sahaba (RA) Today We are Muslims’

Mentioning the mortality of the world eminent scholar Shaikh Abdul Hameed recited the beginning verses of “Al-Ankabuut” and said, “most of the people think that the main aim of their lives is to work hard after getting up daily in order to fetch more and more money, then to provide each kind of facilities for them selves, all the time they try to eat well, to drink well, and live facing no difficulty, rather the holy Quran teaches us that this mortal world has been created to examine us by different ways”. Some times we are checked up by the excessive of wealth and some times by losing of property, more over, it is a tough examination for each human being to be gifted a distinguished status among all, Allah almighty does it with us to show us who is the well doer of actions in both the situations having facilities or not having it?”

Shaikh continued saying, “Managing the Borden of excessive of wealth is more difficult than suffering poverty, as it is witnessed in our experience that rarely rich persons can be found to help poors, or to spend in the Allah’s way or to build religious schools; because most of them lose their money in drinking wine, killing the innocent people, or doing other criminal activities. It is also noted that whenever a prophet called public almost “poor community” accepted the God’s message. Certainly thanking to God while having much money is a great job of believers if they do it.”
Declaring rebellion and disobedience the result of excessive of money, Khateeb of Ahl-us-Sunna argued from the holy Qur’an as Almighty Allah says:
“کلا إن الإنسان ليطغى أن رآه استغنى” [Nay! Verily, man does transgress (in disbelief and evil deed). Because he considers himself self-sufficient.] sorry to say that human beings are deceived a lot by this mortal world, whenever they are given some thing so they think that it is because of his efforts, he does not think that each and every thing is given to us from Allah almighty side, so it is very necessary that first of all we must thank to powerful Allah.”
Mawlana Abdul Hameed more added that it is our duty to thank to God when we enjoy Allah’s blessings, as well as we must show patience when we suffer difficulties in our lives.
Shaikh asked, “Where went wealthy persons, and those who had the power of orders? Now they are lying in graves, thus we also return to this position, so it is very necessary to consider both the facilitating & suffering only test from Allah almighty.”
Shaikh call the audience to study the history of prophets, friends of God, and other Islamic scholars who were tested through different kinds of tests, especially our holy prophet Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلم was examined a lot and he faced a lot of difficulties from non-Muslims, as the books of  his biography witness it clearly.
Prominent Shaikh pointed that the land of Hijaz (Arab Peninsula) clearly witnesses that our holy prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم sacrificed a lot, then his companions followed their prophet (PBUH), it is the land of Hijaz where prophet Ismaeel (PBUH) faced thirst and huger, in the same way on this historical land respected Hajirah رضی اللہ عنها showed her great patience on facing many difficulties, thus following their ideal personalities the prophet’s companions and other friends of God sacrificed a lot while they preached the people, undoubtedly if they didn’t sacrifice in past, so we would not be Muslims now, the complete history of prophet’s companions witnesses that in spite of their personal advantages they preferred to serve the Islam religion, and spread out Islam in different sides of the world (may Allah be pleased with them).

The importance of Uprightness
Describing the Importance of uprightness respected Shaikh said, “It was the distinguished point of our pious scholars that they did not lose their heart rather they showed stability and faced every difficult moment, thus this world couldn’t deceive them and  all the times they kept it in their minds to be on the right way.”
At the end of first part of his speech Shaikh said: “Allah almighty has exchanged our selves, wealth, and each and every thing of us with the valuable Jannah, many people are not ready to bear a small problem for God’s sake and claim that they are Muslims! A Muslim should be ready for any sort of untoward situation. May Allah almighty add up us among His good slaves on the Resurrection Day.

Extremists try to provoke Shi’ite public opinion against us
Pointing to the start of the new phase of expansion project of the largest mosque of the Sunnis in Iran and rebuilding the old building in order to accommodate more worshipers, he further said people have been offering prayers on roads and streets, after enlarging the floors and capacity of the mosque, God welling we all will worship Almighty Allah inside.
The prominent Sunni scholar indicated towards baseless charges of some Shiite extremist elements on the Sunni community to receive support from abroad in order to build Makki mosque, saying, “We think the statements of some elements who accuse us of receiving support from abroad in order to build this mosque are not noticeable, these people just want to charge Ahl al-Sunnah, and it seems if they do not accuse Sunnis of Iran they feel uneasy and some thing makes them agonized.”
Shaikh Abdul Hameed more added, “They (extremist Shiite) do not know but accusation, they do not know anything about the problems and difficulties that we face in providing such limited funds to build the mosque, we provide fund for the re-building project by taking loan from this and that, this money has been gotten through voluntary contributions and the people of this city who are quick to participate in this good deed support the project.”
Talking to the audience he urged, “Those who accuse us of what we do not do, they are mentally ill and poor faith, they do not believe in Allah’s support and aid, in fact, such elements only want to raise public opinion and incite Shiite regime against the Sunnis of Iran.”
