According to the official website of the Sunni Friday prayer leader of Zahedan, Mawlana Abdol Hamid welcomed people from different regions of the country attending the ceremony and stated:
\u201cOur path is one of moderation; we do not believe in extremism. There is no extremism in Islam. Moderation and balance are lasting and pleasing to the Lord.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe think in favor of humanity and wish well for all mankind. The divine prophets cared for all human beings, striving for their guidance, reform, and the prosperity of both their worldly and afterlife affairs. The Prophet Muhammad \ufdfa was not only a mercy for Muslims but for all humanity and all creatures: \u2018And we have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a mercy to the worlds\u2019 (Quran 21:107). The Muslim Ummah must also be a mercy for all of humanity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mawlana Abdol Hamid stated:
\u201cIslam is a religion of interaction, tolerance, and peaceful coexistence. \u2018Jihad\u2019 in Islam, according to a large number of scholars and experts, is primarily \u2018defensive jihad,\u2019 aimed at preventing oppression, aggression, and tyranny.\u201d
He added:
\u201cAll Islamic scholars agree that Islam did not spread in the world through the sword but rather through its beautiful and luminous beliefs, rulings, and ethics. If Muslims today want to influence the world, they must adhere to Islamic ethics, Quranic teachings, and the beautiful traditions of the Prophet Muhammad \ufdfa.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mawlana Abdol Hamid addressed the concerns and demands of the Iranian people, saying:
\u201cIran belongs to the people of Iran, and its wealth also belongs to them. It is the right of the Iranian nation that their concerns and difficulties be addressed.\u201d
He added:
\u201cOne of the biggest challenges for Iranians, which affects all of us, is the economic crisis and livelihood difficulties. Life has become extremely tough and constrained for many people, especially for low-income groups and the unemployed. Even government employees, business owners, and manufacturers are struggling due to the depreciation of the national currency.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Friday prayer leader of Zahedan further emphasized:
\u201cIran is one of the world\u2019s wealthiest countries in terms of resources, talents, and natural wealth. So why should the people of Iran face economic hardships? Authorities must take serious steps to solve economic problems. There are solutions, and they must be implemented.\u201d
He stressed:
\u201cOne of the consensus demands of the Iranian nation is that all national assets and resources should be utilized within the country and for its people. Decision-makers must always prioritize national interests. The national interest of the country is more important than any other matter, and all focus must be on the people and the nation of Iran.\u201d
Mawlana Abdol Hamid also pointed to weak leadership as one of the reasons for the country\u2019s problems, stating:
\u201cMany of the current challenges result from the appointment of weak and incapable leaders. The country needs strong management and collective wisdom to overcome these difficulties.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In another part of his speech, Mawlana Abdol Hamid expressed satisfaction with the affection and solidarity among the Iranian people and the unity of Sunni scholars across the country.
\u201cAlhamdulillah, today, Sunni scholars from different provinces and regions stand together, supporting and accompanying one another. For a long time, there has been a strong sense of unity and affection among all Iranians, especially within the Sunni community.\u201d
He concluded:
\u201cThe people of Iran are all one nation and among the best nations in the world. May Allah grant them the dignity they deserve and keep the Iranian nation honorable and strong.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mawlana Abdol Hamid emphasized the necessity of \u201cmaintaining security\u201d and stated:
\u201cEnsuring regional security is vital, crucial, and beneficial for everyone. All people and influential figures should work towards maintaining security.\u201d
He added:
\u201cConstructive discussions and criticisms are not problematic. Issues, demands, and concerns should be raised and pursued through dialogue and negotiation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In another part of his speech at the 34th graduation ceremony of Darul Uloom Zahedan, Mawlana Abdol Hamid referred to the recent events in Gaza and said:
\u201cAlhamdulillah, a ceasefire has now been established in Gaza. During this period, the people of Gaza endured great oppression, yet they stood firm and showed resilience.\u201d
He continued:
\u201cNow is the time for the people of Gaza to rebuild their city and region. They need sympathy and humanitarian aid. We, like many other regions around the world, should collect humanitarian aid for the people of Gaza and encourage others to contribute.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mawlana Abdol Hamid further stated:
\u201cDarul Uloom Zahedan was founded by Mawlana Abdulaziz (Rahimahullah), a refined scholar and a pious religious leader. All the blessings you see in this institution are due to his sincerity, efforts, and prayers, as well as the dedicated work of the teachers and scholars collaborating in this institution.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Disappointment Over the Prevention of Some Prominent Scholars from Attending
At the conclusion of his speech, Shaikh-ul-Islam Mawlana Abdol Hamid expressed gratitude to everyone who contributed to organizing the ceremony, saying:
\u201cI extend my heartfelt thanks and prayers for all those who assisted in organizing this event in any way\u2014whether financially, in service and hospitality, or in any other form.\u201d
He added:
\u201cThe provincial authorities also cooperated, and there were no major issues. However, we express our disappointment that some prominent scholars in certain provinces were prevented from attending this gathering.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
