According to the AhlulBayt (AS) News Agency (ABNA) – The AhlulBayt (AS) World Assembly condemned the recent targeting of a caravan of Shia individuals in Parachinar, located in northwestern Pakistan, and emphasized that the siege and massacre of Shia in Parachinar reflects the inherent nature of the Takfiri movement and its alignment with Zionism.
The text of the statement issued by the AhlulBayt (AS) World Assembly is as follows:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
وَمَن يَقْتُلْ مُؤْمِنًۭا مُّتَعَمِّدًۭا فَجَزَآؤُهُۥ جَهَنَّمُ خَـٰلِدًۭا فِيهَا وَغَضِبَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَلَعَنَهُۥ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُۥ عَذَابًا عَظِيمًۭا
And whoever kills a believer intentionally, their reward will be Hell—where they will stay indefinitely. Allah will be displeased with them, condemn them, and will prepare for them a tremendous punishment. (Surah Nisa, Verse 93)
Once again, the martyrdom of the defenseless Shia travelers in Parachinar, Pakistan, perpetrated by terrorist groups, which resulted in the deaths and injuries of over 80 men, women, and children, has saddened the hearts of all Shia, Muslims in Pakistan, and freedom lovers worldwide.
The siege and massacre of Shia in Parachinar, at a time when the Islamic world needs unity in its struggle against the atrocities of child-killing Zionism regime in Gaza and Lebanon, unmask the inherent nature of the Takfiri movement and its alignment with Zionism.
It is imperative that we address the instrumentalization of terrorism, promote Islamic unity, and enhance community security—issues that demand the urgent attention of Muslims in Pakistan and the global community at large.
The AhlulBayt (AS) World Assembly vehemently condemns this act of terrorism and extends its heartfelt condolences and solidarity to the families of the martyrs, as well as to all Muslims and followers of Ahlulbayt (AS) in Pakistan. We beseech the Almighty for mercy and forgiveness for the victims of this incident.
Additionally, while appreciating the efforts of the Pakistani government in combating terrorism, we call for serious actions to bring the perpetrators of this grievous act to justice, ensure the safety of the community, and lift the siege imposed on the Shias of Parachinar.
