New Delhi | April 23, 2025 | Hazrath Maulana Arshad Madani, the President of Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind, has strongly condemned the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. He described the attack as cowardly and inhuman. In his press statement, he said that those who kill innocent people are not human — they are like wild beasts.

He expressed deep sorrow for the victims and prayed for the fast recovery of the injured. Maulana Arshad Madani clearly stated that there is no place for terrorism in Islam. He said that terrorism is like a dangerous disease, which is completely against the peaceful teachings of Islam. Every true believer should speak out against such violent acts.

Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind also mentioned that criminal acts done in the name of religion are harmful to the country’s peace and security. They not only destroy lives but also create fear among the people. However, the statement also highlighted that the common people of Kashmir are not supporting such terrorism. Instead, many local people and mosques have openly condemned this attack.

Maulana Arshad Madani said it is wrong to give this tragedy a religious colour. He pointed out that among the people who died, there was also a Muslim. Reports from the ground show that local residents came forward to help the victims, without asking about their religion. They saved lives by taking the injured to hospitals, even though they had no official support or ambulance services at that time.

He praised the people of Kashmir for showing true humanity. They came out of their homes and helped the wounded with great courage. This selfless behaviour is a great example of brotherhood and kindness.

The press release also said that many people in Kashmir held torch marches to show their anger and sadness about the attack. This proves that the ordinary people of Kashmir want peace, unity and development. They do not support any kind of violence or extremism.

In his press release, Maulana Arshad Madani also requested the media to report such events responsibly. He said this is not the time to spread hate or divide people, but a time to unite and heal. We must all work together to promote love, peace and harmony among all communities.

In conclusion, the statement from Hazrath Maulana Arshad Madani, President, Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind is a strong message against terrorism and violence. It reminds us that Islam stands for peace and humanity. At the same time, the unity and courage shown by the local people of Kashmir give hope to the entire nation. This is the time for all communities to come together, reject hate and support peace and brotherhood across the country.
