'Because of Efforts of Sahaba (RA) Today We are Muslims'

Mentioning
the mortality of the world eminent scholar Shaikh Abdul Hameed recited
the beginning verses of "Al-Ankabuut" and said, “most of the people
think that the main aim of their lives is to work hard after getting up
daily in order to fetch more and more money, then to provide each kind
of facilities for them selves, all the time they try to eat well, to
drink well, and live facing no difficulty, rather the holy Quran teaches
us that this mortal world has been created to examine us by different
ways”. Some times we are checked up by the excessive of wealth and some
times by losing of property, more over, it is a tough examination for
each human being to be gifted a distinguished status among all, Allah
almighty does it with us to show us who is the well doer of actions in
both the situations having facilities or not having it?"

Shaikh continued saying, “Managing the
Borden of excessive of wealth is more difficult than suffering poverty,
as it is witnessed in our experience that rarely rich persons can be
found to help poors, or to spend in the Allah’s way or to build
religious schools; because most of them lose their money in drinking
wine, killing the innocent people, or doing other criminal activities.
It is also noted that whenever a prophet called public almost "poor
community" accepted the God’s message. Certainly thanking to God while
having much money is a great job of believers if they do it.”
Declaring
rebellion and disobedience the result of excessive of money, Khateeb of
Ahl-us-Sunna argued from the holy Qur'an as Almighty Allah says:

“کلا إن الإنسان ليطغى أن رآه استغنى” <Nay! Verily, man does transgress
(in disbelief and evil deed). Because he considers himself
self-sufficient.> sorry to say that human beings are deceived a lot by
this mortal world, whenever they are given some thing so they think that
it is because of his efforts, he does not think that each and every
thing is given to us from Allah almighty side, so it is very necessary
that first of all we must thank to powerful Allah.”
Mawlana Abdul
Hameed more added that it is our duty to thank to God when we enjoy
Allah’s blessings, as well as we must show patience when we suffer
difficulties in our lives.
Shaikh asked, “Where went wealthy persons,
and those who had the power of orders? Now they are lying in graves,
thus we also return to this position, so it is very necessary to
consider both the facilitating & suffering only test from Allah
almighty."
Shaikh call the audience to study the history of prophets,
friends of God, and other Islamic scholars who were tested through
different kinds of tests, especially our holy prophet Mohammad صلى الله
عليه وسلم was examined a lot and he faced a lot of difficulties from
non-Muslims, as the books of  his biography witness it clearly.
Prominent
Shaikh pointed that the land of Hijaz (Arab Peninsula) clearly
witnesses that our holy prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم sacrificed a lot,
then his companions followed their prophet (PBUH), it is the land of
Hijaz where prophet Ismaeel (PBUH) faced thirst and huger, in the same
way on this historical land respected Hajirah رضی اللہ عنها showed her
great patience on facing many difficulties, thus following their ideal
personalities the prophet’s companions and other friends of God
sacrificed a lot while they preached the people, undoubtedly if they
didn’t sacrifice in past, so we would not be Muslims now, the complete
history of prophet’s companions witnesses that in spite of their
personal advantages they preferred to serve the Islam religion, and
spread out Islam in different sides of the world (may Allah be pleased
with them).

The importance of Uprightness
Describing
the Importance of uprightness respected Shaikh said, “It was the
distinguished point of our pious scholars that they did not lose their
heart rather they showed stability and faced every difficult moment,
thus this world couldn’t deceive them and  all the times they kept it in
their minds to be on the right way."
At the end of first part of his
speech Shaikh said: “Allah almighty has exchanged our selves, wealth,
and each and every thing of us with the valuable Jannah, many people are
not ready to bear a small problem for God's sake and claim that they
are Muslims! A Muslim should be ready for any sort of untoward
situation. May Allah almighty add up us among His good slaves on the
Resurrection Day.


Extremists try to provoke Shi'ite public opinion against us
Pointing
to the start of the new phase of expansion project of the largest
mosque of the Sunnis in Iran and rebuilding the old building in order to
accommodate more worshipers, he further said people have been offering
prayers on roads and streets, after enlarging the floors and capacity of
the mosque, God welling we all will worship Almighty Allah inside.
The
prominent Sunni scholar indicated towards baseless charges of some
Shiite extremist elements on the Sunni community to receive support from
abroad in order to build Makki mosque, saying, "We think the statements
of some elements who accuse us of receiving support from abroad in
order to build this mosque are not noticeable, these people just want to
charge Ahl al-Sunnah, and it seems if they do not accuse Sunnis of Iran
they feel uneasy and some thing makes them agonized."
Shaikh Abdul
Hameed more added, "They (extremist Shiite) do not know but accusation,
they do not know anything about the problems and difficulties that we
face in providing such limited funds to build the mosque, we provide
fund for the re-building project by taking loan from this and that, this
money has been gotten through voluntary contributions and the people of
this city who are quick to participate in this good deed support the
project."
Talking to the audience he urged, "Those who accuse us of
what we do not do, they are mentally ill and poor faith, they do not
believe in Allah's support and aid, in fact, such elements only want to
raise public opinion and incite Shiite regime against the Sunnis of
Iran."
