Muslim Council of Elders Strongly Condemns Terrorist Attack in Zamfara State, Nigeria
The Muslim Council of Elders, under the chairmanship of His Eminence Professor Dr. Ahmed Al‑Tayeb, the Grand Imam of Al‑Azhar, strongly condemns the terrorist attack that targeted Zamfara State in northwestern Nigeria, resulting in the deaths of dozens of innocent people and the kidnapping of several women and children.
The Council affirms its absolute rejection of such terrorist acts, which are incompatible with the teachings of Islam, the principles of all divine religions, international conventions, humanitarian values, and universally recognized ethical norms. It calls for intensified international efforts to address the root causes of extremism and terrorism and to strengthen pathways for dialogue, coexistence, and peacebuilding in a manner that safeguards the security and stability of all peoples.
The Muslim Council of Elders extends its deepest condolences to the government and people of Nigeria, and to the families of the victims, praying that Almighty Allah grant a swift recovery to the injured and ensure the safe return of those who have been abducted.
