Prominent Islamic scholars and intellectuals from across the Muslim world have issued a joint statement strongly condemning the recent missile and drone strikes by the Zionist regime on Iranian territory, which resulted in the martyrdom of senior commanders, scientists, and innocent civilians. The signatories also called for unity within the Islamic Ummah in the face of escalating aggression.
The scholars expressed their sorrow and indignation over the attacks, which they described as a blatant act of war against not only Iran but also the broader Islamic world.
1. The Zionist Regime: An Enemy of Humanity
The statement characterizes the Zionist regime as a criminal and illegitimate entity, not only hostile to the Palestinian people but to all Muslims and global justice. The targeting of Iranian defense commanders and nuclear scientists, the scholars argue, is a desperate attempt to halt Iran’s growing scientific and military capabilities.
2. A Battle Between Truth and Falsehood
The scholars framed the conflict as part of a broader existential struggle: “This is not merely a geopolitical dispute but a confrontation between Islam and disbelief, truth and falsehood, justice and oppression.” According to the statement, Iran stands at the forefront of defending Islamic values, Palestine, and human dignity.
3. A Call to Action for the Islamic Ummah
The signatories urged scholars, elites, and ordinary Muslims across the globe to abandon passivity and division. “Today, defending the Islamic Republic of Iran is defending Islam itself—the security of Muslims, the sanctity of Al-Quds, and the vision of a united Ummah,” the statement emphasized.
4. A Divine Promise of Victory
Reaffirming their faith in the divine promise of justice, the scholars cited Qur’anic verses proclaiming the ultimate triumph of truth: “If you help Allah, He will help you and make your feet firm” (Muhammad: 7). They expressed belief in the nearing downfall of the Zionist regime and its supporters, describing it as a divine inevitability.
5. Appeal to International Justice
The statement also appealed to international organizations and human rights bodies to break their “shameful silence” and take action. “The missile and drone attacks on Iranian soil constitute clear violations of international law and the UN Charter. These crimes must be documented and prosecuted.”
In conclusion, the statement declared that the blood of the martyrs would not be forgotten. “It will serve as a guiding light on the path to the Ummah’s freedom and dignity.”
“And may Allah help those whom He helps. Indeed, Allah is Strong and Mighty.” (Al-Hajj: 40)
