'Inna Lillahi Wa Inna Ilayhi Raji’un': Mufti Taqi on Islamic nations' declaration after Israel attack

Former Grand Mufti of Pakistan, Mufti Taqi Usmani blasted the reaction of Islamic nations to the Israeli attack on Qatar.

Usmni took to the social media platform X to express his reaction.

"As feared, the meeting of Muslim countries concluded with a hollow declaration. Practical proposals put forward by Pakistan, Turkey, Malaysia and others were not included in the joint communiqué, and the discussion ended with mere verbal condemnation. If this was all that was to be achieved, then what was the need for such a large gathering? Inna Lillahi Wa Inna Ilayhi Raji’un."
