”Conduction”; the Greatest Blessing of Allah

Khateeb of Ahl-us-Sunnah in Zahedan, Shaikh Abdul Hameed began his Friday speech on 18th Nov. by recitation of holy verse: «وَإِلَهُكُمْ إِلَهٌ وَاحِدٌ لاَّ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ الرَّحْمَنُ الرَّحِيمُ» [آل عمران: 163] and talked about the virtues of the guidance and importance of Tawheed, Islamic monotheism.

Addressing tens of thousands worshippers in the Grand Makki mosque of Zahedan, he said that the blessing of “conductance” is the greatest divine gift to mankind. Cognition of Allah Almighty and purification of deeds are the clearest symptoms of advancement of human society.

Mawlana Abdul Hameed made it clear that if somebody is deprived from the blessing of conduction, it is a big loss for him/her. All blessings without the virtue of “guidance” are not beneficial for any individual. Guidance is such a great thing that Muslims ask Allah Almighty in each unit of daily prayers to gift them Hidayah by saying: [Take us on the straight path] «اهدنا الصراط المستقیم».

‘Hidayah or guidance has various huge meanings. “Cognition of Exalted Allah” is the first stage of conduction. If someone believe in God, but without any knowledge about the attributes of Him; making partner(s) for Almighty Allah, in fact, s/he has no any part in guidance. Allah does not accept such belief (without theism). Anyone must know that Exalted Allah is the only real super power over the universe. All benefits and losses are under the full control of Allah,’ Khateeb of Sunnis stated.

Inferring from the Qur’an, the eminent Sunni scholar said more that Allah Almighty has mentioned in many places in Holy Qur’an that He is the only one who deserves to be worshiped. He does not need us but we all are dependent and needful.

Shaikh expressed some attributes of Allah (swt) and further said that greatness of Allah’s attributes is out of human mind; they are perpetual and endless. He has no any example, analog and rivals. Nothing is alike to Allah in the universe.

He added more, ‘Allah Almighty has clarified His oneness in holy Qur’an by giving simple and understandable examples. Each one of the earth and sky carries lots of signs of Allah’s Tawheed. Anybody is inclined to get the concept of Islamic monotheism; just a safe wisdom is required.’

The rector of Darululoom Zahedan continued his points saying that meditation of mankind upon the amazing structure of human body is another way that leads to cognition of Allah. Great creation of mankind wonders you, if you ponder over it.

He urged that cognition of Allah’s greatness, rectification of deeds and characters and relaying on Allah are the signs of advancement. He ended first part of his sermon by saying that unbeatable bravery of Sahaba and the Muslims of initial years of Islam was the result of their strong and incomparable belief in oneness of Allah and His eternal attributes.

Iranian nation; experienced & brave in battle
Khateeb of Sunnis indicated to the rumors of some western states’ assault on Iran saying, ‘We do not think that the US or any other country will step out to target Iran; it will be a blunder. They should know that Iranian nation had the experience of 8-year war.’

He further said that Iranian people are not naïve to loose confidence by any threat; they are brave and intrepid.

He concluded his points by saying that violence is not the solution. Previous and ongoing wars have proved it. Demolition and massacre are the only upshots of wars; so the belligerent sides should terminate their disputes by dialogue and negotiation.
