Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahu Wa Barakatuhu.
We are shocked and devastated with the recent news of an horrific attack against a Muslim family in London Ontario which cruelly took the lives of a grandmother, a mother, a father and a daughter, leaving a young son with serious injuries.
It is deeply concerning to see that Islamophobic violence continues to take lives and traumatize our Muslim communities across Canada. While we share the pain of the family and London Muslim community who lost their beloved relatives, friends and neighbors, we stand together with them in their demand for justice. We also urge all fellow Canadians and politicians to work together with us against this increasingly alarming problem with due seriousness and commitment.
May Allah swt give strength to the relatives of the victims and the entire London Muslim community during these extremely difficult times. Our prayers are also for the well being of our young brother who lost his family and suffered severe injuries during this horrific attack.
We advise our own Muslim community of NL to be patient and vigilant and reassure you that your safety and well being is our top priority.
Jazakumullahu Khairan,
MANAL Executive Committee
