I will recite one holy sura, “Hold fast, to the rope of Allah, rope of God, and don’t create disunity among yourself.” (Qur'an 3:103)
Prophet Mohammed came into this world for the blessings of everyone. This is not just for Muslims. It is for everyone, for all regions. And he is a prophet of blessings, a prophet of blessings for everyone.
Islam is definitely against terrorism and hates the terrorists because Islam is a religion of peace. If we think about peace and bring peace to the world; that is the only way we can practice our religions.
Social justice is the basic foundation. If we want to eradicate and put an end to all kinds of conflicts, then we need to establish some kind of framework for peace.
I bring this message of peace from the Pakistani people to the people of the United States. Pakistanis are also Muslims; however, they are definitely against terrorism. We are accepting our responsibility that we must unite against and oppose terrorism.
I express my hope that the world will find peace, and I pray for everyone. I pray for the peace and harmony of the world.
