Shaikh Abdol-Hamid expressed his thanks on sympathy of different figures and associations following the demolition of Pounak prayer-room with the Sunni community of Iran, calling on the Iranian officials to resolve this issue discreetly.
\n\u201cSunniOnline\u201d reports, Khateeb and Friday imam of Sunnis in Zahedan, Iran, was talking to tens of thousands worshipers on Friday 07 August, 2015.
\nIn a part of his sermon, Mawlana Abdol-Hamid said, \u201cThe biggest challenges of Muslims in the Middle East and other regions are extremism, sectarian divisions and clashes.\u201d
\n\u201cDue to these challenges, in many Muslim states the respectable places such as Masjids, Husseiniyas and other worship places are targeted. However, the religious places must be in peace and no one is allowed to assault on them\u201d, he added more.
\nThe rector of Darululoom Zahedan called the demolition of Pounak prayer-room \u2018unexpected\u2019 and said, \u201cSunnis didn\u2019t expect such an incident. In the last week, many domestic and foreign personalities and organizations expressed their condolences and sympathy with the Sunni community of Iran following the demolition of the prayer-room. We are grateful and expect the issue would be resolved.\u201d
\nHe said, \u201cThe tolerant nation of Iran, including Shias and Sunnis, expect the piteous officials and reins of the current government to follow up the case of Pounak prayer-room; this anxiety must be over.\u201d
\n\u201cProbably the destroyers of Pounak prayer-room have some pretexts for their act, but as Allah knows well, in all Sunni masjids and prayer-rooms only worship is the aim; there has not been anything against Shias and the regime\u201d, Shaikh Abdol-Hamid underlined.
\nStrongly rebuffing a rumor about \u2018nine Sunni mosques\u2019 in Tehran, he made it clear, \u201cSome elements spread rumors that there are nine Masjids for Sunnis in Tehran city. While, they are only rental houses for offering prayers in congregation, where 30 to 100 worshipers offer prayers; they belong to common people which can be changed.\u201d
\nUrging on fraternity and unity, the chairman of CCSS said, \u201cFraternity is very important and vital. By the grace of Allah, all Sunnis in Iran believe in brotherhood and proximity of Muslims inside and outside of the country. We think Muslims should be united in the world. We go on the path of unity and national security. We want unity of Iran with other Muslim states, too.\u201d
\nConcluding his points, he said, \u201cPounak prayer-room must return to its previous condition. We are sure the elites of the regime were not satisfied and aware of the matter. They should give us chance of thanking after criticizing on the demolition. I\u2019d like to call on worshipers to make Du\u2019a and carry out good deeds for getting rid of this problem.\u201d<\/p>\n
