ANIC CONDEMNS BONDI SHOOTINGS - 'THESE ACTS OF VIOLENCE . . . HAVE NO PLACE IN OUR SOCIETY'
THE AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL IMAMS COUNCIL (ANIC) HAS CONDEMNED THE BONDI SHOOTINGS DESCRIBING THEM AS 'HORRIFIC' AND SAYING 'THESE ACTS OF VIOLENCE AND CRIMES HAVE NO PLACE IN OUR SOCIETY'.
A FULL COPY OF ANIC'S STATEMENT APPEARS BELOW. IF ANYBODY WISHES TO SEE THE ORIGINAL STATEMENT IN SITU THEY MAY DO SO AT Home » ANIC. THEY SHOULD THEN SELECT THE 'NEWS' MENU.
QURAN-E-HAKIM.NET UNEQUIVOCALLY SUPPORTS ANIC IN ITS CONDEMNATION OF THE MURDERS. SUCH VIOLENCE HAS NO PLACE IN OUR SOCIETY AND ONLY SERVES TO FURTHER DIVIDE THE COMMUNITY AND REINFORCE THE BITTERNESS AND HATRED THAT ALREADY EXISTS OVERSEAS.
IT ALSO STRENGTHENS THE RESOLVE OF THOSE MEMBERS OF THE JEWISH COMMUNITY WHO ARE TRYING TO PORTRAY ISRAEL AS THE VICTIM IN THE ONGOING HORROR THAT IS GAZA - AN ENDLESS SEA OF HATRED AND MISERY FOR THE MUSLIMS THERE - INCLUDING MANY INNOCENT CHILDREN.
INSHA-ALLAH, MAY ALLAH (SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA - GLORY BE TO HIM, THE MOST HIGH) GRANT THOSE WEE BABIES - THE INNOCENTS UP TO THE AGES OF ABOUT SEVEN OR EIGHT WHO HAVE BEEN SAVAGELY MURDERED BY THE ISRAEL DEFENSE FORCES (IDF) - IMMEDIATE ADMISSION TO PARADISE, TO LIVE THEREIN FOREVER IN PEACE AND HAPPINESS.
QURAN-E-HAKIM.NET REITERATES ITS CONDEMNATION OF THE MURDERS OF THE MUSLIM CIVILIAN POPULATION IN GAZA AND THE WEST BANK BY THE ISRAEL DEFENSE FORCES (IDF) AND URGES READERS TO SPEND A FEW MINUTES PERUSING THE PAGES ON THIS WEBSITE HEADED'GAZA: ISRAELIS MURDER UNARMED MUSLIM MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN'AND'GAZA: KILLING CIVILIANS IN WAR IS UTTERLY FORBIDDEN'.
MAY ALLAH (SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA - GLORY BE TO HIM, THE MOST HIGH) IN HIS INFINITE WISDOM DRIVE THE SATANIC IDF OUT OF GAZA BUT IN SAYING THAT I WANT TO ADD THAT ‘I STAND CORRECTED’.
IN AN EARLIER POST I HAD BEGGED ALLAH (SUBHANAHU
WA TA'ALA - GLORY BE TO HIM, THE MOST HIGH) TO DRIVE THE IDF OUT AND SHOW THEM NO
MERCY BECAUSE THEY HAD SHOWN NO MERCY TO THE PALESTINIANS, BUT ANIC HAS
RELEASED A MEDIA STATEMENT URGING IMAMS TO PREACH A KHUTBAH AT FRIDAY’S JUMMAH
PRAYERS ON THE 19TH OF DECEMBER
URGING UNITY AND HARMONY IN THE COMMUNITY AND QUOTING AN AYAT FROM THE HOLY
QURAN IN WHICH ALLAH SAYS:
“AND WE HAVE NOT SENT YOU ‘O MUHAMMAD’ EXCEPT AS A
MERCY TO ALL OF CREATION” QURAN 21 107.
ANIC IS QUITE CORRECT IN QUOTING
THIS AYAT AND THEY STRESS ITS IMPORTANCE BY POINTING OUT THAT ‘ISLAM IS A
RELIGION FOUNDED ON MERCY, JUSTICE, PEACE AND RESPONSIBILITY TOWARD ALL PEOPLE
AND HUMANITY’.
AS SUCH I ACQUIESCE IN THE MATTER. AS ALWAYS, ALLAH (SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA - GLORY BE TO HIM, THE MOST HIGH) KNOWS BEST.
SO, READERS CAN APPRECIATE THE IMPORTANCE OF ALLAH'S STATEMENT 'WE HAVE . . . SENT YOU ‘O MUHAMMAD’ EXCEPT AS A
MERCY TO ALL OF CREATION' I HAVE POSTED THE RELEVANT PAGES FROM TAFSIR IBN KATHIR. THE LINK IS 'TAFSIR IBN KATHIR 21:107'
THE FULL TEXT OF ANIC’S MEDIA STATEMENT CAN BE
READ AT ‘ANIC FRIDAY KHUTBAH’.
MY ONLY CRITICISM OF ANIC IS THAT THE FRIDAY KHUTBAH STATEMENT WAS SENT TO ME IN AN EMAIL, BUT I COULD NOT VERIFY IT ON ANIC'S WEBSITE. I EXPECTED IT TO BE LISTED AS NEWS.
I THINK IN THIS AGE OF SOPHISTICATED TECHNOLOGY IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE AUTHENTICITY OF SUCH STATEMENTS CAN BE CHECKED. AS A FORMER JOURNALIST I KNOW HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO CHECK THE FACTS AND TO BE ABLE TO PROVE ANY CLAIMS OR ALLEGATIONS.
