The Universal Muslim Association of Americacondemns the recent attack on the shrine of Sayyeda Zainab (as). Last Friday, due to nearby fighting mortar shells struck the shrine, killing its custodian and wounding several others. It is currently unclear how much damage was sustained, however reports indicate that the shrine is still able to accommodate visitors. The attack was condemned around the world, and was marked by national protests throughout Pakistan. Leaders from Iraq and Iran also condemned the attack as deplorable.“The spirit of Zaynab [a.s.] will live forever. Her courage, forbearance, and submission will continue to inspire those who hear her story for all time to come.” says author M.H. Bilgrami in the book “The Victory of Truth: The Life of Zaynab bint 'Ali”
UMAA condemns all acts of terrorism as deplorable crimes against humanity. No legitimate goal can ever be accomplished through any act of terrorism. Islam is a religion that advocates peace and tranquility amongst all peoples, and for any innocent individual to be harmed, is completely against the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him).
Islam, as taught by the Holy Prophet and his family, strongly advocates peaceful dialogue and discussion and rejects violence against innocents.
