Speech of graduates’ representative in the ceremony

Molawi Abdol-Hakeem Narui, representative of Darululoom Zahedan’s graduates of 2012 was the first speaker at the 21st Annual Graduation Ceremony in the central Mosalla of Zahedan, Iran. He talked about “Islamic awakening” in the gathering.

The representative of the graduates started his discourse by recitation of the Qur’anic verse: «إِنَّ اللّهَ لاَ يُغَيِّرُ مَا بِقَوْمٍ حَتَّى يُغَيِّرُواْ مَا بِأَنْفُسِهِمْ», (Surely, Allah does not change the condition of a people unless they change themselves.) and a holy saying of Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace & blessings be upon him. He said that by analyzing Islamic history, we can understand this fact easily that Islam has remained safe from deviation and aberration. It amazed all historians that Islam has saved its nature despite ups and downs of history.

He added more, ‘Unlike other religions which had lost their nature and identity, Islam could withstand massive attacks, unwilling crises and political turmoil. Islamic awakening is an undeniable truth; almost all just religious analysts, historians and intellectuals admit this fact.’

Molawi Narui went on to question, ‘What is the reason behind this resistance of Islam?’ He quoted late Imam Abul-Hasan Ali Nadvi as answering this question: ‘Yes! Islam is a dynamic and living religion; it generated movements to awaken Muslims in the history. Whenever Muslims suffered from weakness in faith and beliefs or an enemy targeted them, it was everlasting Islam that awoke them.’ This is the secret of Islam’s success.

The graduate of Darululoom Zahedan urged saying that the new-dominated Islamic vigilance should be examined; it has roots and causes. The biggest factor behind the on going awakening is Islam itself. Islam is a dynamic, comprehensive and consistent religion with all circumstances. Thus, Islam poked its followers to oppose moral, social and political problems. It teaches Muslims the lesson of resistance and uprising against despotism and assailants.

He counted the reasons of the new-appeared Islamic awakening and further said, ‘The second cause is serious efforts of Islamic scholars and intellectuals. They strived day and night to save Islam and Muslims. The third factor of this awakening is tyranny of Muslim states’ rulers. Muslim societies and Islamic organizations were under intensified pressure of rulers. They wanted to marginalize Islamic dignitaries and movements.

‘Today’s rulers introduce Islam the symbol of petrifaction! They call Jihad as the main cause of terrorism and horror in their political and social meetings. In such environments, Allah Almighty put His mercy on the Ummah as Muslims got vigilance to uprise to get their lost honor. This is Islamic awakening that will pull Muslims out of isolation. They will be perfect in academic, political and spiritual fields,’ Molawi Narui pointed.

He concluded his points by saying that Western culture has turned pale across the world; people have recognized secular and anti-Islam ideologies can not guarantee their prosperity. Islam attracts all and it has answers for all doubts of human beings.
