MECCA: Imam of Hajj and also a member of the Council of Senior Scholars, Sheikh Dr Yousaf bin Muhammad bin Saeed has urged the Muslims worldwide to promote harmony and brotherhood among them.
He said this while delivering the Hajj Sermon at Masjid-e-Nimra. Hundreds of thousands of Muslim worshippers from around the globe converged in Maidan-e-Arafat Tuesday to perform the Rukn-e-Azam of Hajj “Waqoof-e-Arafat” which marks climax of the Hajj.
Delivering the sermon, Sheikh Dr Yousaf urged the Muslims to keep harmony and brotherhood among the Muslims.
All Muslims are like different parts of one body and when any part of the body hurts, the pain is felt in the whole body, he said. He urged the Muslims to exhibit unity and behave politely and avoid conflicts.
Sheikh said, “Muslims should exhibit best of the manners as only those who will have good manners will be close to the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) on the day of judgment”.
“The combination of the testimony that only Allah is to be worshipped, along with the testimony that Muhammad (PBUH) is Allah’s messenger.”
Sheikh Dr Yousaf in his Hajj Sermon further said that respecting and valuing humanity is compulsory for all Muslims. “Success lies in fear of Allah Almighty and following his orders”.
He said Allah has ordered Muslims to keep praying and paying zakat to the needy people.
After Azaan-e-Maghrib, hundreds of thousands worshippers will leave for Muzdalifah where they will offer Maghrib and Isha prayers together and spend the night under open sky. From Muzdalifah, they will also gather pebbles to throw at Satin the next morning.
After offering Fajr Prayer at Muzdalifah, they will leave for Mina for remaining Hajj rituals.
