In the Name of Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah! The Muslim world condemned what happened in Makkah; namely the Monday 7/12/1409 AH bombing, describing it a hideous crime and evil. It involved terrorizing pilgrims visiting AlBayt (the House: another name for the Ka`bah), threatening peace, violating sanctity of this sacred country and harming people. Allah (Glorified be He) made this country sacred until the Day of Resurrection and made the blood, wealth and honor of Muslims inviolable. He (Glorified be He) ordains that violating them is among the gravest crimes and major sins and promises anyone who commits such a crime in the sacred country severe punishment. Allah (Glorified be He) states: and whoever inclines to evil actions therein or to do wrong (i.e. practise polytheism and leave Islâmic Monotheism), him We shall cause to taste from a painful torment. If anyone inclines to do a wrong deed in the Haram (all areas within the Sacred Sanctuary of Makkah) and does not do it is promised a painful torment; what about those who actually carry it out? Their crime will definitely be graver and punishment severer.
Indeed, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) warned his nation against injustice in many Hadith. In the Farewell Hajj, he (peace be upon him) stated, "Your blood, your property and your honor are as sacred to one another as the sanctity of this day of yours in this month of yours in this town of yours. Have I conveyed Allah's message to you?" The Sahabah (Companions of the Prophet) said: "We bear witness that you have conveyed (the message), fulfilled (your role) and was sincere (to us)." He (peace be upon him) kept pointing his forefinger upward toward the sky and downward to the earth while saying: "O Allah, be my witness. O Allah, be my witness."
Further, this heinous act of bringing explosives near AlBayt is among the greatest sins and crimes. No one who believes in Allah and the Last Day can do it, but only someone spiteful to Islam, Muslims and pilgrims can. Those who committed this major sin will be among the losers and we ask Allah to turn their evil plotting against them and to disgrace them in front of all people. May Allah guide the Government of the Custodian of the Two Sacred Mosques to execute the punishment prescribed by Allah on the perpetrator, for He is Able. Peace and Blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and Companions.
