New Delhi: In what could turn out to be a path-breaking development, Asia’s most revered Islamic seminary Darul Uloom Deoband is set to declare terrorism an anti-Islamic act.
The declaration will be flashed on 25th February at the end of an anti-terrorism seminar to be held in Deoband. The seminar is likely to be attended by the representatives of around 6,000 madrasas from across the country besides foreign delegates.
Maulana Abdul Khaleque Madrasi, vice rector of the seminary has been quoted saying that all acts of terrorism and killing of innocent people of any religion are strictly prohibited by the holy Quran in its chapter 5 (Al-Maidah) and these acts are anti Islamic.
The declaration would pronounce that persons involved in the act of terrorism anywhere will qualify to be called a non-Muslim. The declaration will include advice to the Muslim community to stay away from acts of terrorism and organizations that encourage it.
