Islamic Scholars Are Under Attack

In Pakistan, Islamic scholars are increasingly under attack, par­ticularly in Khyber Pakhtunkh­wa, where no place remains safe for them to deliver their message. It will be a tragic chapter in the country’s history that it failed to provide safety to its own scholars. Many Ulema have lost their lives in targeted and suicide attacks, with such incidents rapidly increasing across the region.

It is alarming that these schol­ars—who have done nothing wrong except preach the message of Is­lam—are being targeted. Ulema do not seize property or harm the economy; they simply impart knowledge to the masses. Their duty is to spread Islamic teachings, encouraging patience and faith.



Those responsible for these attacks must reflect on the gravity of their actions, knowing they will one day be answerable to Allah. The silence of our leadership is deeply troubling. The government must take urgent action against the perpetrators who are persistent­ly murdering Ulema.

Khyber Pakh­tunkhwa has become a focal point for these devastating attacks, where each suicide bombing not only takes innocent lives but also strikes at the heart of the community.

It is profoundly saddening that, in our country, the dissemination of Islamic knowledge has become a dangerous endeavour.

May Al­lah protect our scholars and bring their enemies to justice. SADAM BALOCH, Ghotki. Tags: islamic scholars attack.
