ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Ulema Council Chairman Hafiz Tahir Ashrafi, emphasized the significance of unity among Islamic nations in addressing critical issues such as Palestine, Kashmir, and Islamophobia.

Speaking to the media on Friday, Tahir Asharafi highlighted the voices raised by leaders of Turkey, Qatar, and Iran during the United Nations General Assembly against the desecration of the Holy Quran. They stressed the need to safeguard global peace while considering the sentiments of over two billion Muslims worldwide.

He further emphasized that the leaders of Turkey, Qatar, and Iran had strongly criticized the West for attempting to desecrate copies of the Holy Quran. Ashrafi noted that Islamophobia, including racism, was spreading in Western countries like a plague.

Ashrafi expressed concern that this alarming trend of unwarranted provocations was not only undermining international efforts for interfaith harmony but also posing a threat to global peace. He urged Western leaders to understand the gravity of such condemned actions and put an end to the denigration of Muslims through such disgraceful acts.

In response to a question, Ashrafi highlighted that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman had categorically emphasized the importance of resolving the Palestine issue and improving the lives of Palestinians in his recent interview. He also mentioned that Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan had expressed a principled stance on the Kashmir issue at the United Nations.
