Cowardice killings :
The painful death of 86 people in a suicide bomb attack into a peace procession in the Turkey’s capital of Ankara on Saturday was the outcome of ignorance. An ignorant man is the deadliest enemy of mankind as we witnessed early this month in India where some fanatics killed a 50 years old man though he did not say or acted anything against their religion.
The Prophet Muhammad (SM) said, “Ignorance is a curse.” Allah said in Verse No. 199, Surah Al A’raf, “Turn away from the ignorant.”
Whoever or whichever organisation masterminded and killed so may people in Turkey and injured over 200, and killed an old man in India and amputated right arm of a housemaid in Saudi Arabia shall be subjected to severe torment in the Hereafter. The Prophet said, murderers will be tried first and no murderer shall escape punishment.
When a man will be taught this lesson, he (or she) will think twice before committing crime like murder.
In truth, what is needed first right now is to ameliorate ethics and morality and it is not possible without religious training. Allah has made the Quran easy to understand and to take admonition as per: Surah Qamar, Verses No. 17, 22, 32 and 40). So, what is easy, we can easily realise what is wrong and what is right. Will the governments of all countries in the world take initiative?
Finally, we condemn the killing and condole the families of the deceased.
