No room for terrorism in Islam: Saudi Arab Grand Mufti

Arafat, Nov 16 (ANI): Islam is based on justice and equity, and does not admit terrorism, extremism or injustice, the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arab, Sheikh Abdul Aziz Al-Sheikh, has said.

Delivering the Hajj sermon in Nmira Mosque at Mount Arafat, the Grand Mufti said that Islam is not a theoretical religion; instead, it is a practicable deen (code of conduct), Geo News reported Monday.

Sending divine revelations and raising the Prophets was meant for the message of Allah's oneness, and this succession of guidance for human beings was in progress, he said.

Allah sent the Last and Final Prophet (peace be upon him) with complete code of conduct, and this (shariah) is in harmony with the human nature as it caters to all man's natural and material needs, the Grand Mufti said, adding that the human inner being (nafs) excites man to do evil.

He said that the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) presented a comprehensive concept of ibadat, adding that the Allah Almighty conferred man with reason and consciousness so that he can differentiate between good and bad. (ANI)
