Sheikh Zakzaky |
Report By Stephen Lawan
Leader of the Islamic Movement in
Nigeria, His Eminence Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky says there was never a time when
unity of the Muslim Ummah was more paramount than now when enemies are all out
against it.
He made the statement at the grand
finale (Khatmah) of the birthday of the Holy Prophet in Zaria and environs,
which took place at the Zaria City Juma’at Mosque on Yesterday.
He said, “This is not the time for
sectional sentiments and divisible statements among Muslims. Enemies of Islam
are sponsoring campaigns of calumny among Muslims, and any Muslim who engages
in acts of disunity or making foul statements on his fellow Muslims, is doing
their dirty work. This is the work of the Zionist enemies. We should not give
room to disunity among us to serve our enemies”.
Sheikh Zakzaky also enumerated
strategies being used by enemies of Islam to pollute minds of gullible Muslim
youths, especially young girls by way of popular culture, bad films, internet
and acts inimical to Islam.
“They chose young girls as tools,
knowing that young girls will be mothers of tomorrow and they will disseminate
such bad culture imbibed to their children, and eventually the whole society”,
he remarked.
His Eminence further said, the
current anti-Islam posture was he issue of false flag operations, in which they
created fake Jihadist groups and brand them terrorists. “The whole aim is to
brand and present Islam in bad image, as a religion of terrorists which must be
abhorred.
Through made up images and news
broadcasts, they show that Islam is synonymous with terrorism. Having that
inculcated into the psyche of the people, they would have justification for
all-out war on Islam and Muslims”.
Citing the Nigerian episode, he
said, because they could not find among Muslims groups in Nigeria that could do
their dirty work, they created a faceless terror cell in the name of “Boko
Haram”, senselessly killing people, with the highest causality among the
Muslims in the northern part of the country.
He wondered how a Jihadist group
with an agenda of establishing an Islamic society through the teachings of
Prophet Muhammad will engage in senseless killing of Muslims in mosques. “This
is ridiculing Islam and Muslims! We cannot be fooled.
All the killings is done by the
government of Ebele Jonathan through the security forces with substantial
direct assistance from his foreign masters. Their hands are visible in all the
arson and killings across the country.
Nigerian government led by Ebele
Jonathan is the real Boko Haram, while Jonathan and his security operatives are
machineries implementing the killings. Let no one be deceived that there is a
group of Muslims called Boko Haram.
How can a Muslim on a Jihad mission
kill people indiscriminately, including his fellow Muslim?” The Leader said,
while this was going on and Muslims were commemorating the birthday of Prophet
Muhammad, the enemies decided to strike at the heart and very existence of
Islam and Muslims, with an unfortunate blasphemous cartoon by a Paris-based
magazine, Charlie Hebdo.
He pointed out that, the Charlie
Hebdo issue was clandestinely planned as part of the on-going war on Islam.
“They exposed themselves by an immediate gathering in Paris to express
solidarity with the magazine. That gave them way.
Those present at the gathering were
in a way openly telling us they are enemies of our Beloved Prophet. They held
hand with the greatest terrorists in the world such as Benjamin Netanyahu and
Kerry supporting the blasphemous publication”.
Sheikh Zakzaky further explained
that, “Having known our enemies and the manner they operate, let no Muslim copy
the enemies of Prophet Muhammad by painting our brethren in a bad image, either
verbally or in form of a cartoon as did Charlie Hebdo. You do not have to draw
or make foul statement on any Islamic scholar or anyone to disagree with him.
If you do that, you are copying Charlie Hebdo, our enemies”.
He concluded by giving glad tidings
that Islam will eventually triumph: “Whether they like it or not, Islam will
eventually triumph. Islam will be firmly established against all odds. Let
Muslims face this global challenge as did the Holy Prophet through good and
exemplary conduct. The Prophet of Islam triumphed over his enemies not by sword,
but good conduct”.
