Makkah, March 1, 2025 – The Muslim World League (MWL) has strongly condemned the horrific suicide bombing that took place at the Jamia Dar al-Ulum Haqqania mosque in Pakistan, which resulted in the tragic loss of innocent lives. The attack, which targeted a revered institution of learning and faith, has left the global Muslim community in mourning.
In a statement released today, MWL Secretary General and Chairman of the Organization of Muslim Scholars, Sheikh Dr. Mohammed bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa, expressed profound outrage and sorrow over the bombing. He described the attack as a heinous crime, particularly devastating due to the heavy toll it took on the Ummah of Sheikh Hamid-ul-Haq Haqqani, a prominent Islamic scholar who was deeply respected for his life of service, knowledge, and wisdom. Dr. Al-Issa noted the immense loss caused by the tragic death of Sheikh Haqqani, who dedicated his life to promoting unity, opposing division, and offering sound counsel to those seeking to better understand Islam.
Dr. Al-Issa went on to emphasize that Sheikh Haqqani's legacy as a scholar was not only rooted in his contributions to Islamic thought but also in his tireless efforts to bring people together, advocating for peace and harmony within the Muslim community and beyond. The MWL secretary general mourned the loss of a leader who embodied the values of wisdom, compassion, and reconciliation, qualities that are sorely needed in today’s world.
In the face of this tragedy, Dr. Al-Issa conveyed his deepest condolences and sympathies to the people of Pakistan, the grieving families of the victims, the injured, and especially to the family and loved ones of the late Sheikh Haqqani. He prayed for Allah’s mercy and forgiveness upon the deceased, asking that they be granted the highest ranks in paradise for their devotion to Islam and their community. Additionally, Dr. Al-Issa extended prayers for the swift and full recovery of those who were injured in the attack, hoping that they find strength and healing in the aftermath of this senseless violence.
The MWL’s statement underscored the organization's unwavering condemnation of such acts of terrorism, which seek to instill fear and division among the peaceful citizens of the Muslim world. The League called for the perpetrators of this tragedy to be held accountable and reiterated its commitment to working toward peace, unity, and security in the face of extremism and violence. Through such acts, the MWL remains resolute in its mission to promote dialogue, understanding, and the shared values that bind the global Muslim community together.
As the Muslim world grapples with the consequences of this devastating bombing, the MWL continues to stand in solidarity with Pakistan and the wider Ummah, calling for an end to such violence and a renewed focus on healing and reconciliation.
