AICP Press Release – AICP Condemns Terrorist Attack on New Zealand Mosques
AICP has issued the following press release pertaining to the sad and heinous incident in New Zealand:
We are deeply shocked to receive news of the callous terrorist attack which targeted people praying in two-mosques in New Zealand, today, Friday the 15th of March 2019.
It has been reported that numerous people were killed in a mass shooting, when an armed gunman opened fire during the Friday congregational prayer at two locations in the city of Christchurch.
According to police reports, three men and a woman have been taken into police custody, along with the discovery of explosives attached to a number of vehicles.
We strongly condemn these heinous acts of violence which only serve to cause division and disunity and disrupt the safety and security of the country. We hope that the New Zealand authorities will swiftly apprehend any remaining terrorist criminals who remain at large so they can receive the punishment that they deserve.
We also urge the Muslim community in the United States to remain vigilant and to fully cooperate with Police and authorities during their investigations.
We also advise them to remain calm and resist any provocation which will only serve the interests of the terrorists who wish to cause hate and division within the larger Muslim community.
AICP expresses its deep sympathy and stands in solidarity with the people, government and Muslim community of New Zealand, offering its heartfelt condolences to the families of the innocent who were killed, and wishes the injured a speedy recovery.
AICP strives to implement the teachings of Islam as per the guidance of the Qur’an and as practiced by those who adhere to the methodology of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. Our center is open for all members of the community during these difficult times.

جمعية المشاريع الخيرية الإسلامية في الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية تستنكر وترفض هجمات الفتنة على مسجدين في نيوزلندا
أصدرت جمعية المشاريع الخيرية الإسلامية في الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية البيان الاستنكاري الآتي:
ببالغ الصدمة تلقينا نبأ العملية الإرهابية التي استهدفت المصلين في مسجدين في نيوزلندا اليوم الجمعة. وقُتل “العديد” من الأشخاص بإطلاق نار استهدف مسجدين خلال صلاة الجمعة في مدينة كرايست تشيرش النيوزيلندية، في موقعين، الأول في مسجد بشارع دينز والثاني في مسجد آخر بشارع لينوود. بحسب ما أفادت الشرطة، التي أكدت أنها اعتقلت 3 رجال وامرأة، وأنه تم العثور على متفجرات داخل مركبات.
وإننا إذ ندين بشدة هذه الأعمال البشعة الشنيعة نعتبر أن مثل هذه الأعمال الإجرامية التي تستهدف الفتنة وزعزعة الأمن وهز استقرار البلاد لا تصب في مصلحة المجتمع النيوزلندي بمختلف أطيافه.
ونأمل أن تتوصل السلطات النيوزلندية إلى الإرهابيين المجرمين حتى ينالوا جزاءهم وأن تقطع دابرهم .
داعين في الوقت نفسه الجالية الإسلامية في نيوزلندا بالتنبه إلى هذا الأمر الخطير وأن يتعاونوا مع الشرطة المحلية لدرء الفتنة وعدم الانجرار إلى ما يريده المتطرفون من زرع الفتنة بين المجتمع النيوزلندي.
إن جمعية المشاريع الخيرية الإسلامية في الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية تعبر لحكومة وشعب نيوزلندا، والجالية الإسلامية خاصة عن بالغ تعاطفها وتضامنها ولأسر وذوي الشهداء الأبرياء عن خالص العزاء والمواساة ومتمنية الشفاء العاجل للمصابين.
(The night journey and the ascension of prophet Muhammad)
Praise be to Allah, the Lord of t he Worlds, the One Who exists without a place. To Him belong the endowments and proper commendations. May Allah raise the rank of Prophet Muhammad and his kind Al and Companions and protect his nation from what he fears for them. May the Lord of Heavens and Earth grant us the sincere intentions and guide us to the acceptable deeds.
Thereafter, Allah sent the prophets as a mercy to the slaves and supported them with miracles to indicate the truthfulness of their message. Of all the prophets, our Prophet, Muhammad, was blessed with the most miracles. Al-Isra' and al-Mi^raj are among the many miracles of Prophet Muhammad.

الحمدُ للهِ نَلُوذُ به فى السَّرَّاءِ والضَّرَّاءِ، ونعوذ به من الشِّرْكِ والرِّيَاءِ* والصلاة والسلام على سيدنا محمد خير الأنبياءِ* وعلى ءاله وصحبه وتابعيه الأصفياءِ* أمَّا بعدُ عبادَ الله، فإنِّى أُوَصِّيكُم ونفسِىَ بتقوَى الله جَلَّ وَعَزَّ القائلِ فى كتابه العزيز: ﴿يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ ٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَكُونُواْ مَعَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ ١١٩﴾ (التوبة)
ثم إنَّ رسولَ الله ﷺ قال فيما رواه الشَّيخان: "أَلَا وَإِنَّ فِى الجَسَدِ مُضْغَةً، إِذَا صَلَحَتْ صَلَحَ الجَسَدُ كُلُّهُ، وَإِذَا فَسَدَتْ فَسَدَ الجَسَدُ كُلُّهُ، أَلَا وَهِىَ القَلْبُ." فأخبَرَنا رسولُ الله ﷺ أن القلب قد يفسد، أى أن له أمراضًا. وبما أنه أميرُ الجوارح فإنَّ فسادَه يُؤَثِّر فسادًا على الجسد كلِّه. والقلب سريعُ التقلُّب جِدًّا، فهو أسرعُ تقلُّبًا من الماء الذى يغلِى فى القِدْر. لذا كان لزامًا علينا أن نراقب قلوبَنا حافظين لها من الأدواء والأمراض التى قد تصيبها والتى لا يداويها أطباء الدنيا.
ومن الأمراض التى قد تصيب القلوبَ الرِّياءُ. والرِّياءُ خطرُه عظيم لأنه يدِبُّ إلى القلب دبيبًا هو أخفَى من دبيب النملةِ السَّوداء على الصخرة الملساء فى الليلة الظلماء. والنجاة منه تحتاج لجهد كبير ومراقبةٍ للنفس شديدة.
