We are honoured to publish the letter written by His Holiness, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad(aba), the Worldwide Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, to the honourable Prime Minister of India, Mr Narendra Modi, during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Islam does not permit terrorism or extremism under any circumstances. Anyone who claims otherwise acts against the teachings of the Holy Quran and contrary to the noble character of the Holy Prophet of Islam.
Muslims should not respond to such horrific and provocative acts through violence. Instead, they should educate people about the Quran’s true teachings so that anti-Muslim extremists could not seek to defame Islam by taking individual Quranic verses completely out of context to further their hateful objectives.
Islam has often been accused of being a threat to Western culture and civilisation. However, given the Judeo-Christian roots of Western culture, it is actually atheism, not Islam, which threatens to destroy that culture.
World leaders must work towards ensuring that the world we leave behind for our children is marked by peace and prosperity, not a world of crippled economy and malformed children.
