Dr. Ahmed At-Tayyeb, Grand Imam of Al-Azhar Ash-Sharif, extends his heartfelt condolences and deepest sympathies to the steadfast Palestinian mother and physician, Dr. Alaa Al-Najjar, following the martyrdom of her nine children and the injury of her husband and only surviving child, in a treacherous Israeli airstrike that targeted their home in the Gaza Strip.
The Grand Imam condemned the atrocity as a horrific crime that epitomizes the ugliest forms of terrorism inflicted upon unarmed people who possess nothing but steadfastness and faith.
He affirmed that the image of this steadfast mother receiving the charred bodies of her children, while continuing to fulfill her humanitarian duties at Nasser Medical Complex, is a cry to the conscience of the world. It lays bare the disturbing silence, and, indeed, the complicity, of some international actors who support the Israeli entity as it continues its crimes and massacres, unrestrained by human decency or accountability before history.
The Grand Imam stressed that such crimes will neither extinguish the flame of truth nor diminish the Palestinian people’s legitimate rights or their resolve to remain rooted in their land. Nor will they erase from the memory of the free peoples of the world the harrowing chapters of this ongoing injustice.
He concluded by praying to Almighty Allah to envelop the martyrs in His vast mercy, raise them to the highest ranks, and make them a source of honor for their parents on the Day of Judgment.
He also prayed that Allah grant their parents peace and comfort, and reward them abundantly for their endurance and faith; “Indeed, we belong to Allah, and indeed unto Him we shall return.” (Qur’an 2:156)
