Our deepest felt condolences and concerns are extended to the families of those whose lives were lost, and who have been injured, at the hands of terrorists and their assaults on two Mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand during the Friday prayers. An assault on innocence is not ever anticipated.
Even in this present world of human communities having serious difficulties in understanding each other, the human heart is not inclined and does not naturally prepare itself for an attack on worship. We seek the Help of Allah with this and all matters that confound us, that the human world must define, defend against, and ultimately prevent.
Islam is human community in peaceful worship of the Lord-Creator, and this is an attack on human community innocence. We ask Him for the relief and the lesson. Our thoughts are for the people of New Zealand, and prayers that they will show all of us the proper demonstration of love and care for neighbors and countrymen in need.
