Sialkot Incident: Maulana Tariq Jamil urges scholars to play a positive role in preventing extremism
Maulana Tariq Jamil urges scholars to play a positive role in preventing extremism in the country.
Famous Pakistani Islamic scholar has condemned the horrendous Sialkot incident in which a mob beat the Srilankan national factory manager to death alleging blasphemy.
“The incident of burning a foreigner alive under the guise of honoring the Prophet in Sialkot is very sad. It is against Islamic teachings to take the law into one’s own hands on the basis of a mere accusation,” he said
“There is no place for violence and extremism in Islam. Scholars should play a positive role in preventing extremism,” Maulana said.
سیالکوٹ میں ناموسِ رسالت کی آڑ میں غیر ملکی کو زندہ جلا دینے کا واقعہ انتہائی افسوسناک ہے. محض الزام کی بنیاد پر قانون کو ہاتھ میں لینا اسلامی تعلیمات کے خلاف ہے. اسلام میں تشدد اورشدت پسندی کی کوئی جگہ نہیں. علماء کرام انتہا پسندی کو روکنے میں مثبت کردار ادا کریں.#Sialkot
