Letter of Condemnation & Condolences to the Victims
Near & Dear Ones
We condemn the attacks on USA by terrorists.
Whoever was behind theis dastardly act is a criminal and inherently inhuman and
has no Islamic sanction. We stand by the victims in grief and sadness over the
unjustified and utterly inhuman tragedy they had to face.
Each single life is considered sacred in Islam and this has been explicitly
stated in the Qur'aan in the following words. The Holy Qur'aan says in chapter 5, verse 32
"... whosoever killeth a human
being for other than manslaughter or corruption in the earth, it shall be as
if he had killed all mankind, and whoso saveth the life of one, it shall
be as if he had saved the life of all mankind."
We care for justice for every single individual. There is no place for "terrorism" of any form
in Islam. As Muslims, we want to let the world know that Islam & Muslims
have got nothing to do with such activities and we denounce them vehemently.
At the same time, it is very sad for Muslims to see the name of
Islam is being associated with such criminal activities. In the wake of this event,
we also seek to prevent Islam from being maligned by vested interests, prevent
innocent Muslims around the world from being made the targets of attacks by
those ignorant to true Islam. The time is to return to seeking & sharing
true knowledge about Islam and Muslims, and not just "half knowledge".
