Imams Condemn Somalia Attack, Call for Solidarity

{Whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land – it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one – it is as if he had saved mankind entirely} (Al-Ma’idah 5:32)

In line with this verse, our respected Imams and Scholars have condemned the latest bombing in Somalia, which was described as the worst attack in the country to date with at least 276 deaths.

Calls were made to stand united and offer whatever help possible to the people.

Saturday’s blast occurred at a junction in Hodan, a commercial district of the capital Mogadishu that has many shops, hotels and businesses.

Hundreds of people had been in the area at the time of the blast.

Almighty. Comfort the people of #Somalia as they pick up the pieces from the gruesome attack. Protect the families & grant ease to all.
