Huj. Shahriari highlighted spirituality, unity in Hajj rituals

Hujjat-ul-Islam Hamid Shahriari, in his sermon at Eid al-Adha communal prayer held in Moscow, noted the different rituals of Hajj which boost solidarity among Muslims, reported Taqrib News Agency (TNA).

He referred to Ihram (white cloak worn for Hajj rituals) as the burial gown and the shroud and said,” To attend the Plain of Arafat and Mina are ways to worship the Almighty God.

He said,” The spiritual ambiance of Hajj could be prevalent throughout the year but it is mandated at the certain time and place so that all Muslims convene, wear the same outfit and move in the same path as they will on the Day of Resurrection.”

Hujjat-ul-Islam Hamid Shahriari enumerated liberalism and division as two projects by enemies of Islam launched against spirituality and unity of Muslims.

The cleric called liberty as a value which is defined within the framework of heavenly commands while liberalism claims independence from those commands and does not define any limitation for human being.

Secretary General of World Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thought counted homosexuality, abortion and unlawful sexual relations among freedoms given to man in a bid to demolish their religious tendencies and turn their spirituality to satanic debauchery.
