The Imus Expresses Solidarity with Sheikh Ikrima Sabri and Calls
on the Scholars of the Ummah to Stand with Him Against the Occupation’s
Measures
The
International Union of Muslim Scholars follows with deep concern the trial of
His Eminence Sheikh Ikrima Sabri – the preacher of Al-Aqsa Mosque, President of
the Supreme Islamic Council in Jerusalem, and a member of the Union’s Board of
Trustees – which represents a serious precedent and a direct assault on
religious authorities in Palestine.
While
the Supreme Islamic Council, together with scholars, preachers, and religious
institutions in Jerusalem, reiterates its call to religious and scholarly
bodies worldwide to stand in solidarity with Sheikh Ikrima Sabri, the Union
emphasizes that any attack on His Eminence constitutes an assault on all
scholars of the Ummah, and targets one of the voices of truth that has never
ceased defending Al-Aqsa Mosque and its Islamic identity.
Sheikh
Ikrima Sabri represents one of the main pillars of religious authority in
Palestine, and any attempt to undermine him is essentially an attempt to
silence the legitimate, free stance regarding the continuous violations against
Al-Aqsa Mosque by the occupation.
Therefore,
the Union calls upon the Islamic Ummah – particularly its leaders, scholars,
scholarly bodies, and Islamic and human rights organizations worldwide – to
support Sheikh Ikrima Sabri, express a unified stance rejecting these arbitrary
measures, affirm the necessity of protecting scholars and preachers who fulfill
their religious duty in defending the holy sites, and urges the immediate
cessation of this trial.
