Masjid e Umer Trust Condemn the Killings of innocent people by 'IS'

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.   

This is an open letter to the leadership of ISIS written by some of the most learned and respected Islamic Scholars and Imams of Great Britain. It urges the immediate release of Alan Henning and all other hostages in their captivity. This letter draws on the verses of the Holy Qur'aan and the Ahadith (Sayings/Actions) of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to remind the ISIS leadership of the duties and obligations that fall upon all Muslims.

Assalamualaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wabarakaatuh   

All praise is due to Allah the Most High. Peace and blessings of Allah be upon His beloved messenger Muhammad (PBUH). 

We write this letter to you with these verses of the Holy Qur'aan in mind: 

"And remind, for verily, the reminding benefits the believers." [51:55]   

"Verily, Allah enjoins justice and kindness..." [16:91]   

And this Hadith of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (PBUH): Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said:

"The Compassionate One has mercy on those who are merciful. If you show mercy to those who are on the earth, He Who is in the heaven will show mercy to you". [Abu Dawood]

Please Remember Us In Your Duas

Crimes By 'Boko Haram'

As we are all aware several hundred schoolgirls were abducted in Nigera by a inhumane groups called Boko Haram.

The Masjid e Umer Trust and the All Muslims categorically condemns the senseless and horrific abduction of the Nigerian schoolgirls; who are of both Christian and Muslim faiths

Boko Haram’s actions are in direct conflict and alien with Islamic teachings and basic human rights. Forcing girls who are not Muslim to don the Islamic garb and pray as Muslims do, opposes the directive of the Holy Qur'aan which clearly states:

“Let there be no compulsion in faith......” (Qur'aan Ch.2; V. 256).

These barbaric actions are not connected in anyway whatsoever with the peaceful religion of Islam.

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) has emphatically stated: “He who is not merciful to mankind will receive no mercy from the Almighty God.”

We urge the authorities in Nigeria and abroad to do everything within their power to return the girls to their respected families and administer justice to the perpetrators of this evil crime.

Our (duas) Prayers are with the families at this difficult time.
