We
know very well what has happened in the Army Public School of Peshawar,
Pakistan. On 16th December 2014, we have witnessed the heinous attack
where more than 140 innocents killed, mainly targeting students ranging
between eight and eighteen years of age. There are many other attacks we
have witnessed in the past that have taken many innocents lives.
The
moment any attack takes place we come up with condolences and quoting
the ayat from the Quran saying “If anyone kills any innocent human being
it is as if he has killed the whole of humanity”(5:32). My dear
brothers and sisters, it is not enough only to send the condolences. We
should work on how these terrorist attacks get stopped. It’s the time to
expose those who are behind these attacks. It’s time to expose those
who fund them and help them to commit these crimes very minutely.
The
Glorious Quran says: O you who have believed, be persistently standing
firm for Allah , witnesses in justice, and do not let the hatred of a
people prevent you from being just. Be just; that is nearer to
righteousness. (5:8) The Quran also says: “O you who believe! Stand out
firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah; even though it be against
yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, be he rich or poor, Allah is a
Better Protector to both (than you). So follow not the lusts (of your
hearts), lest you may avoid justice, and if you distort your witness or
refuse to give it, verily, Allah is Ever Well-Acquainted with what you
do.” (4:135)
