Statement : 06 June 2001
Attacks on Places of Worship of the Almighty Creator God is Against Islamic Principles -Joint Statement by Khelafat Leaders

Amir-e-Shariah Hazrat Shah Ahmadullah Ashraf Ibn Hafezzee Huzur and Secretary-General Maulana Muhammad Zafar Ullah Khan of Bangladesh Khelafat Movement in a Joint Statement has condemned bomb attack inside a Christian Church at Gopalgonj (Bangladesh). They said : “Our Lord Allah does not like destruction of ‘Monasteries, Churches, Synagogues and Mosques, in which the Name of Allah is commemorated in abundant measure’ (Ref: The Holy Quran : Sura Hajj No.22 : Verse No.40). Places of worship of the different communities including that of Muslims wherein the Name of Allah (God, the Almighty Creator) is remembered in abundance are covered by the relevant verse of the Divine Scripture The Holy Quran. Attacking holy places of worship of Almighty Creator is against Islamic principles. Therefore, no pious Muslim can commit such crime. It is unbelievable that any Momen (Faithful Muslim) is involved in the crime of bomb attack inside the Church at Gopalgonj. Such criminal act is punishable offence in Islamic Justice. The late founder of Bangladesh Khelafat Movement Hazrat Hafezzee Huzur (peace be upon him) described Muslims as our religious kin and Non-Muslims as our blood kin, since the humanity is the progeny of single pair of parents Hazrat Adam & Hazrat Hawa @ Eve (peace be upon them both). If true Islamic State is established, non-Muslim minorities shall enjoy higher security and protection than the Muslims. Under the present non-Islamic system of governance the vested interests are exploiting minority non-Muslims as gini pigs and are playing ducks and drakes with their life property and honor. We do not want to see communal riots in Bangladesh what has engulfed Indonesia under the conspiracies of CIA and MOSAD. It is necessary that the righteous people should unite themselves to save our countrymen irrespective of communities from the conspiracies of the vested interests. To foil the nefarious designs of the enemies of humanity we urge the Islamic leaders and the leaders of the non-Muslim Minorities to cooperate with each other and to have dialogues and contracts to ensure mutual security and progress of all communities.”
