Selected Remarks of Shaikh ul-Islam Mawlana Abdol Hamid during a Meeting with the People of Qasemabad Neighborhood in Zahedan at Masjid Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) / Friday Evening, November 15, 2024:👇

Meeting with God

📌 “We were created with a grand purpose and a significant goal.” Allah Almighty reminds us that ultimately, all will return to Him. That day will be a sensitive and crucial one—a day that has shaken the hearts of the saints and bent their frames with humility.
📌 No one can be certain whether they have succeeded or failed in this worldly life. Will they bear the rights of others upon them, or will they be free and unburdened on their way to meet God? Blessed is the one upon whom no one’s rights weigh.
📌 Have one’s neighbors felt peace and comfort in one’s presence, or have they harbored grievances? Has one shown kindness to parents, or has one caused them grief? The supplications or curses of one’s parents can shape one’s destiny.
📌 Muslims should fear the day they stand in the presence of God. That is the day when it will become clear who has been accepted and who has been rejected. Has one fulfilled their prayers? Has one paid zakat on their wealth? Has one raised their children with proper guidance?
📌 Today, heedlessness is rampant in life. We have forgotten the grave and death. We must remember the throes of death and the grave and shed tears, for difficult days lie ahead, and we should never neglect the accountability we face.
📌 Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Prophet (peace be upon him) would pray at night, and his tears would sometimes overflow, waking them from sleep.

Righteous Deeds

📌 On the journey to the hereafter, only “righteous deeds” accompany us. Reflect on goodness and righteous actions, and strive for the well-being of both your worldly life and the hereafter for your children.
📌 Allah loves the ranks of prayer. Pray in congregation in the mosque.
📌 Many devout people, despite illness and weakness, attend the mosque in wheelchairs to worship and serve Allah Almighty.
📌 The mosque is the house of God. A Muslim is a guest of God in the mosque, and God’s mercy descends upon them, forgiving their sins.
📌 Cooperate with the Tabligh congregations, as this cooperation leads to spiritual awakening and growth.

Lying

📌 Have Muslims ever considered the severe dangers of sins? Grave sins can bring one to ruin and lead them to hell.
📌 Unfortunately, today, Muslims lie and take false oaths for trivial, fleeting gains. Lying brings God’s displeasure and anger and is one of the gravest sins.
📌 One must guard their tongue and refrain from speaking anything that contradicts Islamic law, preserving it from lies and false speech.

Addiction

📌 Addiction is a devastating plague and a great misfortune that threatens both men and women in society, crippling lives and destroying families.

Raising Children

📌 Children are your most valuable asset; do not lose them. On the Day of Judgment, they may even stand as witnesses, saying, “My parents brought me into this world but made no effort for my worldly or spiritual well-being.”
📌 Watch over your children and youth. Many young people find themselves in prison, guilty merely by association with a murderer, who has escaped and left the burden of the crime upon them.
📌 A righteous child is a source of pride and peace for parents, earning a lawful livelihood, caring for their parents, and in times of illness, lifting them upon their shoulders in efforts to bring them healing.
📌 A child is a blessing from God who honors and serves their parents with love.
📌 A virtuous child upholds and honors the family name, proving to be an invaluable treasure.
📌 Be mindful in caring for and raising your children so that they do not fall into sins and difficulties from which it would be hard to rescue them.
📌 Pray yourself and ensure your children observe their prayers. Encourage them toward knowledge, as education brings growth and success.
📌 We live in a world today where the internet has brought both good and evil within reach. If misused, this tool can lead our children astray.
📌 Now is the time to be vigilant. Watch over yourselves and your children. Do not consume unlawful earnings, abandon sins, and observe your prayers faithfully.

Service to the People

📌 Collaborate with the municipality and those responsible for building and maintaining your city.
📌 The highest form of worship is compassion and service to the people.
📌 God’s pleasure lies in the pleasure of the people.
📌 No voluntary act of worship holds as much value and influence as serving humanity.
