Islamabad: “A war against Saudi Arabia would be tantamount to a war against the entire Muslim world and Pakistan will not tolerate any attack on Saudi Arabia,” said Hafiz Muhammad Tahir Mehmood Ashrafi.
“The Houthi missile attack on Saudi Arabia was condemnable and leadership of Muslim world have to devise a cohesive mechanism to contain militant activities of Houthi tribes,” said All Pakistan Ulema Council Chairman Hafiz Muhammad Tahir Mehmood Ashrafi.
Speaking to visiting delegates of different religious and political organisations on Tuesday, Tahir Ashrafi stated that entire Muslim world had been confronting multiple challenges and amidst this chaotic situation, missile attacks on Kingdom of Saudi Arabia were concerning for the entire Muslim Ummah.
Saudi Arabia is the centre of Muslim faith and security forces of Saudi Arabia are playing a vital role to ensure security and sanctity of holy places in Saudi Arabia, said Ashrafi. Security institutions of Saudi Arabia had rendered historic services to foil the conspiracies of the enemies of Islam and Muslims, said Ashrafi.
Tahir Ashrafi also underlined the importance of ongoing anti-corruption drive in Saudi Arabia. He said all those elements aiming to create chaos in Saudi Arabia will not succeed in their nefarious designs. “Making endeavours to purge corruption from an Islamic society is in accordance with the teachings of Quran and Sunnah,” he said.
Only those societies and countries make progress that clean their departments of corruption, he said.
Pakistan Ulema Council and other Islamic organisations of Muslim world endorse all initiatives for security and economic stability of Saudi Arabia taken by Saudi King Salman bin Abdul Aziz and Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman, said Ashrafi.
At the occasion, representatives of Pakistan Ulema Council including: Mufti Muhammad Zia Madni, Allama Tahir-ul-Hassan, Maulana Ayub Safdar, Maulana Abdul Hameed Sabri, Maulana Nauman Hashir, Maulana Tahir Aqeel, Maulana Shahzad Ahmed, Maulana Ilyas Muslim and Maulana Shafi Qasmi were also present.
