While addressing Friday congregations, religious scholars and clerics urged leadership of Muslim world to resolve prevailing differences within Arab and Muslim countries with mutual collaboration and bilateral talks.
“Foreign interference in affairs of Muslim World and elements supporting extremism and terrorism in Muslim countries have weakened the case of Palestinian cause,” said clerics, adding that world leadership, especially the United Nations, must come out of slumber and take notice of Israeli aggression on innocent Palestinians.
The demonstrations were held on the call of the Pakistan Ulema Council (PUC) to mark ‘Youm-e-Tahafuz-e-Harmain Al-Sharifain’ and ‘Al-Quds Day’.
Demonstrators also reaffirmed their support to the people of Saudi Arabia and the Saudi government against missile attacks of Houti rebel tribes. Participants unanimously called for devising a mechanism for protection of Harmain Al-Sharifain and Al-Aqsa.
While addressing a Friday congregation in Rawalpindi, PUC Chairman Hafiz Muhammad Tahir Mehmood Ashrafi said, “Protection of Harmain Al Sharifain is part of our faith. People of Pakistan are united with oppressed Muslims of Syria, Iraq, Kashmir and Palestine,” he said, adding that US administration had put world peace on stake by relocating US Embassy to Jerusalem.
“World peace can’t be sustained without seeking permanent solution to burning issues of Palestine and Kashmir.” He added that there was no link between Islam and terrorism. Ashrafi also urged Muslim leadership to get united to contain the conspiracies of the enemies of Islam and Muslims.
Lauding services of Saudi government for pilgrims, Ashrafi said that the Saudi government had never restraint pilgrims from visiting Saudi Arabia on account of sectarian differences or any such other reason. “Elements making baseless propaganda against Saudi government are aimed at dividing Muslim Ummah and fanning confrontation within Muslim world.”
Notable representatives of PUC, including Maulana Ayub Safdar, Maulana Abdul Karim Nadeem, Allan Abdul Haq Mujahid, Maulana Abdul Hameed Watto, Maluala Asad Ullah Farooq, Maulana Asghar Khosa, Mian Rashid Munir, Sahibza Hamza Tahirul Hassan, Maulana Abu Bakar Hamza, Mufti Umar Farooq, Maulana Tanvir Ahmed, Maulana Azam Farooqi, Maulana Abdul Ghaffar Hijazi, Maulana Ahmed Makki, Maulana Ahmed Nadeem and Maulana Kalim Ullah Muhawia addressed congregations in different parts of the country to express solidarity with Saudi Arabia and Palestine cause.
