Spare innocent people
Since the emergence of the Taliban Muslim Militia in Afghanistan and the Al-Qaeda in the Middle East, mosques have been made death valleys. The rise of the IS militia in Iraq and Syria has aggravated the situation. Nowadays, many Muslims for security reason hesitate to go to mosques in vast regions from Pakistan to Libya to offer Prayers. As for example, the IS militia on Saturday.in a bomb blast killed 43 fighters of the Al-Nusra Front, which has been fighting against the Syrian government.
As a result, none thinks even a mosque secure. We go there to offer Prayers and learn the recital of the holy Quran. This is really a tragedy for us that we avoid a mosque. So, in order to improve the situation, both the masterminds and the executors of suicide bomb attack should be rounded up immediately. About the respect, honour and esteem of mosques, Allah says in Verse No.36 of Surah An-Noor: (The lamp is found) in houses which Allah has allowed to be exalted and that His name shall be remembered therein. Do offer therein Praise to Him at morning and evening.
The Prophet Muhammad (SM) said: Whoso loves Allah, love me. And whoso loves me, he should love my Sahabies, and whoso loves my Sahabies, he should recite the Quran (and act on it), and whoso recites the Quran, he must must respect mosques-(Ref: Ma Areful Quran at page No.946). A mosque is a worshipping and training centre. It trains man why and how to ameliorate ethics and morality, and to build character. It is not for any individual or group of individuals, tribe and clan. Allah has ordered to respect mosques, to refrain from discourse and useless work. The Prophet said, none, who has eaten raw onion and garlic, smoked and chewed betel leaf, has stink in mouth, wears dirty dress of horrible smell must be removed from mosques. Haztar Omar (RA) said, I have seen the Prophet to clear Mosque of dirty and sick man. It (Mosque) should be used for imparting religious teaching and how to read the Quran.
No mosque should be used for personal or political propaganda. Therefore, may we appeal to the IS militia, Al-Qaeda, Taliban militia, Boko Haraam, Al-Nusra Front, Sipahi Sahaba and Hakkani and all those like them to stop killing of innocent people and explosion of bombs in Mosques.
We earnestly appeal to all concerned, By God; kindly spare the innocent people. People; as Allah ordained; is the best of all creatures. Put an end to kill them unjustly.
