ISLAMABAD, Dec 7 (APP): Saudi Arabia’s Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdul Aziz Al-Sheikh has urged the Muslims to hold tightly the rope of Allah Almighty and practice Islam, saying the ongoing global financial crisis could be overcome by practicing Islamic teachings.
While delivering Hajj sermon in the Nimra Mosque situated in Arafat to millions of pilgrims from around the world Sunday, private TV channel (Aryoneworld), reported.
Grand Mufti urged Muslims to practice teachings delivered by Allah by his Prophet (peace be upon him) terming these the only way for their success in this world and hereafter.
He said the financial system given by Islam is the best and able to address all the needs of modern world, suffering from global financial crunch, as it is based on the principles of ‘Adal’ justice and interest-free.
“Muslims’ beliefs are based only on Quran and Sunnah and nothing other than these,” he said, urging Muslims to practice the five pillars of Islam, i.e. Shahadat, Prayer, Fasting, Charity and Hajj, with full spirit.
He asked Muslims to adopt ‘Taqwah’, quoting several verses from Holy Quran and sayings of Holy Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) over its importance and effects.
“Whoever said ‘La-Illaha ilallah’ will be saved from fire of hell,” Al-Sheikh said in his sermon.
“Some forces were trying to change the thoughts of Muslim youths,” Grand Mufti warned, urging youth to strengthen their relationship with Islam.
“These forces are trying their best to unveil Muslim women; they have flourished the drugs in Muslim societies; they are misinterpreting Islam’s teachings to distance Muslims from their religion,” Saudi Arabia’s Grand Mufti warned more than 2.5 million pilgrims present in Arafat for Hajj and to billions of others watching and hearing his ‘Khutba’ (address) alive on televisions and radios as it was telecasted in all around the Muslim world.
“Islam does not support terrorism in any form and strictly prohibits shedding blood of innocents,” he added.
