Statement Text:

The International Union of Muslim Scholars strongly condemns any form of terrorism targeting innocent civilians, regardless of its source or location, as this aligns with the stance of Islamic law.

Terrorism, whether perpetrated by a state like Israel or by any party, group, or individual, contradicts humanitarian and religious principles. Allah says: “Whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land – it is as if he had slain mankind entirely.” (Al-Ma’idah: 32).

In this context, we express our strong condemnation of the terrorism that targeted workers at the TUSAŞ factory in Turkey, resulting in the loss of innocent lives.

Such criminal acts serve only to benefit the Zionist occupying state, which seeks to spread chaos and incite discord among Muslim communities.

Nevertheless, we affirm that Allah, Almighty, is fully capable of nullifying such discord, as He says: “And Allah is predominant over His affair, but most of the people do not know.” (Yusuf: 21).
