PESHAWAR – Religious scholars and ulema in Pakistan and Afghanistan categorically reject terrorism and violence, as Islam is the religion of peace and brotherhood.
Contributors to various schools of thought told Central Asia Online in a survey that terrorism and the killing of innocents have no religious justification and those involved in such acts are simply “killers.”
They view Islam as a religion of tolerance and peace, advocating a terror-free society and guaranteeing life and the honour of all living beings, regardless of religious identity.
“All acts of violence and bomb attacks aimed at targeting (houses of) worship and public places and the killing of innocent people are totally un-Islamic and haram,” Mufti Muneeb ur Rehman, president of Tanzim-ul-Madaris Al Arabia Pakistan and head of the Darul Uloom Naeemia in Karachi, told Central Asia Online. “The people involved in these acts of violence and bomb blasts are doing no service to Islam and religion; rather they are damaging and tarnishing the true essence of the religion.”
