Mufti of Oman: Grand Mufti of Oman calls on Arab & Islamic countries to mobilise in support of Gaza
Muscat - Saba: The Grand Mufti of Oman, Sheikh Ahmed bin Hamad Al Khalili, on Sunday appealed to Islamic countries in general and Arab countries in particular, to come to the aid of their brothers in the Gaza Strip, who are being subjected to a crime of extermination committed by the Zionist enemy army. Sheikh Al-Khalili said in a "blog post" on the "X" platform: "We follow with regret and pain the tragedy of dear Gaza from the suffocating siege unjustly imposed on it, and how it led to people falling in groups and alone from the effect of hunger." He added: "It is surprising that this tragedy is recorded by the media moment by moment, but those who are related by blood and religion are not shaken by it, nor are those who claim to have conventions and laws, as if they are waiting for the sequel after they did not care about anything else; by God, how will they answer if they are asked before the hands of God Almighty, what sin did you kill for?" He continued: "Thus, we appeal to the Islamic countries in general and the Arab countries in particular to come to the aid of their brothers sooner rather than later; this is the right of all humanity, and neither a sincere Muslim nor a genuine Arab would accept this injustice in any human being, Muslim or non-Muslim, although the right of Muslims among their brothers in Islam is Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "A Muslim is the brother of a Muslim; he shall not oppress him, nor shall he despise him, nor shall he hand him over." The Grand Mufti of Oman continued: "We make this appeal to our brothers in the Arab Republic of Egypt and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan: Leaders and peoples to push in the direction of expediting the opening of crossings and relief for the afflicted people of their neighbours and brothers in Gaza and Palestine, and we do not forget here to remind our distinguished scholars in the two countries to hasten to carry out their rights in this regard, especially Al-Azhar, represented by its Grand Imam and its distinguished scholars," Sheikh Al-Khalili said. Sheikh Al-Khalili concluded his blog by saying: "In sum, we hope that all those with a living human conscience in the whole world will hasten to do so; everyone is responsible before God Almighty and no one is exempt from this responsibility. May Allah bear witness, and may Allah help us and support us." Whatsapp Telegram Email Print

Mufti of Oman denounces normalization with "Vanishing Zionist Entity"
Muscat - Saba Sheikh Ahmed bin Hamad Al-Khalili, the Mufti of Oman, expressed profound astonishment at the desire of some nations to normalize relations with the "Zionist enemy"—an entity he described as doomed to vanish. In a post monitored by Saba News Agency, Al-Khalili questioned: "How can anyone seek relations with a disappearing entity whose own people no longer believe in remaining on occupied land, an entity that persists only through perpetual war?" He warned of the grave miscalculation: "Do those pursuing normalization not fear their bargain will prove disastrous? What a catastrophe!" The religious leader intensified his critique: "Even if dealing with a temporary occupying power, some might claim pragmatic justification—but how justify ties with a savage colonizer that sustains itself on the blood of innocent children, women and elders? How accept rewarding those who slaughter our kin and faith? How abandon fundamental rights?" Al-Khalili concluded with a moral indictment: "The true tragedy emerges when oppression gets recast as peace". This statement marks a significant clerical challenge to Gulf normalization efforts, framing them as both strategic errors and moral failures while highlighting Zionism's existential contradictions through its own demographic anxieties Whatsapp Telegram Email Print more of (International)
