The Kingdom's General Mufti Sheikh Abdulaziz bin Abdullah Al Al-Sheikh, who is also Chairman of Senior Ulema Commission and Religious Research and Ifta Department, condemned today the terrorist bombings that targeted worshippers while performing Jumaa (Friday noon public prayer) at a mosque in Al-Ahsa governorate and resulted in the killing and wounding of many innocents as part of corruption on earth. In a statement to SPA, he said what happened in the mosque is part of a criminal plot targeting sedition of the nation, spread of corruption on earth and terror in the hearts of Muslims, an act, he said, done only by deviating and unfaithful group. Since the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was based on the principles of the holy book of Quran and the prophet's deeds and sayings, it would never be harmed through such actions, he said. However, the Mufti warned the youths from the illusions caused by the thoughts and ideas of such deviating group. He lauded the great Islamic job the Saudi security men are performing to preserve the security of the people, that deserves thanks from everybody. He prayed to Allah Almighty to preserve the unity of the country and offer victory to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud.
