Statement of N.A.I.F. Condemning the Inclusion of Sheikh Al-Qaradawi's Name to the Interpol List
Praise be to Allah and may his peace and blessings be upon His noble Prophet, his household and companions, to begin:One of the signs of well being of a nation is that it honors those who are prominently excellent in any field, specially the field of knowledge, and that it does not harm them specially towards the end of their life.
It was such a big shock for us, the Imams in the United Sates of America, that an Arab government, for political reasons, sought to include the name of one of the most prominent figures in the Muslim World in a list of those who are internationally wanted. This comes after he spent his entire life serving Islam and Muslim issues. Because of his efforts, he was deservedly entitled to various honors by countries and educational institutions both in the Arab world and beyond. That was a mere grace to him from Allah, the Almighty.
We do feel that it is our religious duty to support this prominent scholar. This is because Allah says: "O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm in justice, witnesses for Allah , even if it be against yourselves or parents and relatives."
This also comes in response to the call of out Prophet Muhammad, May Allah's peace and blessing be on him, as narrated by Anas, May Allah be pleased with him, to have said: "Support your brother whether he is an oppressor or an oppressed. A man said, 'O Messenger of Allah! It makes sense to support him in case he is oppressed, but how can I support him if he is an oppressor. He said, 'By stopping or preventing him from committing oppression. This is how you support him then.' " Collected by Bukhari.
We pray Allah, Glorified be He, to defend our noble scholar against the plotting of the haters; to protect him with His protection and to continue to bestow health and energy on him to continue to play his role that Allah, the Almighty has facilitated for him to serve his religion and its followers. Allah is the protector of the pious. He the best of trustees and best of supporters. The last of our prayers is to praise and thank Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
