‘Iman & good deeds key to prosperity’

After reciting some verses of holy Qur’an, khateeb of Ahl-us-Sunna in Zahidan talked about two antithetical internal qualities of human being which attract every one.
Describing the internal gravities of people Shaikh Abdul Hameed said in his Friday sermon, ‘Being in love with temporary world and its limited means always attract people to earn more and more, thus he keeps collecting money, gaining property and following villainies. Millions of mankind have lost their lives in the way of others’ greed. Due to love of gaining status and wealth to a greater extent, humanity has been facing various sorts of crises.’

Explaining the second internal force, he pointed that each person has an esoteric power which always calls him towards iman, ethics and good deeds; unlike the first mentioned power this natural force leads humanity to the prosperity in both the worlds.
Shaikh added more, ‘Bolstering of this savior nature was the target of Prophets (Alaihum-us-Salam), all prophets preached and called people to gloss this nature and to avoid from all sorts of sins. No doubt, there is a secret in the success of prophet’s companions, as they ruled on the hearts of people and prospered a lot in no time, thus they succeeded here and the endless life of the Hereafter’.
Khateeb of Sunnis urged that if we want to be successful, then we must go on the same way, which the companions of our beloved prophet (pbuh) went on. We must remember that the first internal ability ends to the inferno but the second one is the key of prosperity.
He encouraged the audience to trust on Allah almighty and with the full attention just worship Him alone. ‘Some parts of night should be allocated for worshiping the only God, while remembering Allah or offering prayers all the body including heart and tongue should be heedful,’ Shaikh emphasized.

The Sunni students’ conference postponed:

Khateeb of Sunnis in Zahedan urged that the annual conference of Sunni students of universities has not been cancelled; it will be held in upcoming weeks as soon as possible.
“The exact timing of the conference would be announced after some days,” he added.
Shaikh Abdul Hameed emphasized saying, “Religious freedom is the constitutional right of the Sunni community of Iran; we realize this right preserved for every citizen of the country.”
He stressed that unity and fraternity can be achieved by realizing legal rights of both the sects, Sunnis and Shias in Iran. Equality is the corner stone for maintaining peace and unification.
The prominent Sunni leader urged, “The rulers and authorized elements must go forward from slogan chanting towards conduction step. Every Sunni citizen must enjoy religious freedom in all parts of Iran.

Prosperity conditioned with Islamic and academic educations:

The eminent Sunni leader declared both Islamic and academic (modern) educations essential for the prosperity of any society.
He said that academic personalities should seek Islamic knowledge to succeed in this temporary world as well as Hereafter.
Shaikh advised Islamic scholars to get academic education and also students of universities including teachers to get religious education in order to benefit from the bright teachings of the Quran and Sunna.
