Siraj urges ulema for unity against US, colonial powers

LAHORE: Jamaat-i-Islami Ameer Sirajul Haq said the colonial powers under the US umbrella had collectively invaded the Muslims all over the world and it was time the Ummah united to face the enemy.

Blood of Muslims was being shed everywhere like water but irony is that they were accused of terrorism. Conspiracies were being hatched to place the Qibla-e-Awwal of Muslims under permanent Zionists’ control, he said while addressing noted ulema and mashaikh at a dinner Thursday hosted in their honour at Mansoora.

He said 57 Muslim states and more than one a half billion Muslims in the world were facing isolation as the Muslim rulers stood divided and majority of them were lackeys of the US.

He said Bangladesh, Syria, Palestine, Iraq, Egypt, Afghanistan, Kashmir, Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar and Pakistan were the target of the enemy forces. In such a situation, it was the responsibility of the ulema and mashaikh to set aside their petty differences, stand united to face the enemy and provide leadership to the masses. Sirajul Haq said it was high time that Muslim Ummah learnt a lesson from the Fall of Dhaka, the fall of Baghdad and Gharnata. He said a nuclear bomb or the politicians taking dictation from Washington could not defend the country which could be defended by the ulema and the mashaikh. He said colonial powers wanted to pull out the love of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) from the hearts of Muslims, adding that Muslims would have to safeguard the sanctity of Holy Prophet (PBUH) at every cost as this was the basis of their faith. He said country’s rulers working as US agents had mysteriously tried to change the oath related to Khatm-e-Nubuwwat in the law thus challenging the sense of religious dignity of the people.
