The suicide bombing at an Imambargah in Islamabad’s Tarlai area once again tested Pakistan’s resolve against extremism. The response, however, was clear and unified. Chairman of the Pakistan Ulema Council and head of the National Peace Message Committee, Allama Hafiz Tahir Mahmood Ashrafi, strongly condemned the attack and sent an unambiguous message: terrorism will not weaken Pakistan.
Leading a high-level delegation comprising scholars from all schools of thought, Allama Ashrafi emphasized that such attacks are cowardly attempts to sabotage peace. He stated that forces hostile to Islam and Pakistan have repeatedly failed and will continue to fail in achieving their objectives. His remarks reflected a broader national sentiment that terrorism thrives on division, and unity remains its greatest defeat.
Solidarity with Victims and Families
Beyond statements, the response translated into action. The National Peace Message Committee delegation visited PIMS Hospital to inquire about the health of those injured in the attack. The delegation met doctors, reviewed the treatment process, and expressed satisfaction with the medical care being provided.
The visit carried symbolic weight. It demonstrated that the fight against terrorism is not only a security matter but also a moral responsibility. Standing with victims and survivors reinforces the message that no act of violence can isolate or silence communities.
The delegation also visited Tarlai to meet the families of those martyred in the attack. Religious scholars offered condolences, prayed for forgiveness of the deceased, and expressed solidarity with the bereaved families. They reassured them that the entire nation shares their grief and stands beside them in this difficult time.
Rejecting Violence in the Name of Religion
In his media interactions and video message, Allama Tahir Ashrafi strongly rejected any attempt to justify terrorism through religion. He described the attack on a place of worship as a crime against Islam, humanity, and the sanctity of religious spaces.
Drawing on Islamic history, he reminded audiences that even revered leaders such as Caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab (RA) and Hazrat Ali (RA) were targeted in places of worship. These incidents, he noted, serve as historical proof that attacks on mosques and Imambargahs represent extremist agendas rather than Islamic teachings.
He reiterated that the Pakistan Ulema Council, the National Peace Message Committee, and scholars from all religious schools unanimously reject terrorism in all its forms. Targeting innocent worshippers, he stressed, is a grave crime with no religious or moral justification.
National Resolve and Regional Realities
Addressing broader security concerns, Allama Ashrafi highlighted Pakistan’s capacity to defend itself against threats. He stated that if Pakistan could confront and defeat a much larger adversary, it would not hesitate to protect its security against any external or internal challenge. While reaffirming Pakistan’s desire for peace, he made it clear that national security would never be compromised.
He emphasized that the Pakistani people and security institutions stand shoulder to shoulder in the fight against terrorism. According to him, collective resolve against extremism is stronger today than ever before. Terrorist violence, he said, has only reinforced national unity rather than weakening it.
Concluding his remarks, Allama Tahir Ashrafi expressed confidence that such attacks are destined to fail. He offered prayers for the martyrs, wished a speedy recovery for the injured, and prayed for patience and strength for the affected families. He reaffirmed that Pakistan’s struggle against terrorism will continue with determination until lasting peace and stability are secured.
The message from Tralai was clear: terrorism may strike, but it will not divide Pakistan. Unity, faith, and collective resolve remain the country’s strongest response.
