What is your response?Innah Lillahi Wa Innah Iayhi Raji'oon. To Allah we belong and to him we shall return. Deeply saddened to hear this tragic news. May Allah almighty grant the martyrs a high station in Jannah and their families patience through this difficult time. thoughts and prayers are with the bereaved families. I urge the world's governments to crack down on such disgusting social media forums, sites pages etc and stop such communication from spreading to a wider community. Sites like FB and Twitter etc to carefully monitor and permanently close down such as soon as they appear. Love peace and respect for all
What is your response?Together united as one we must stand.. Hatred and division is what these abysmal creatures want. Love and kindness to each other must bind us regardless of colour, race, religion. My heart cries for the people of New Zealand, the victims, the survivors, the families, friends... you are in the prayers of millions you do not grieve or stand alone.
What is your response?So much hate and destruction in the world...here I am trying to teach my kids to exercise respect, compassion and empathy towards anyone they meet in life regardless of age, race or gender , I'll be honest at times I feel I'm fighting a losing battle but I persevere because if we stop teaching our children to respect others for who they are, hate crimes like this will continue for generations to come. My heart has shaken to the core, my love and prayers to all those affected by this and previous horrific acts of hate...please let all this hate towards each other stop or it will continue to spread deeper and deeper into the hearts and souls of our children and the destruction will be endless. Love and peace â¤
What is your response?Our thoughts and prayers are with new zealand right in this awfull time they are going through. May Allah swt protect you all.
What is your response?As a Christian, I pray for the consolation of my Muslim friends at home and in New Zealand, those who grieve the loss of a loved one, and those who feel threatened; I also pray for the healing of all who are suffering from this tragedy in body, mind and spirit. I can pray with confidence for you because, with Archbishop Desmond Tutu, who led Christians through a time of suffering, I believe that that "Goodness is stronger than evil. Love is stronger than hate. Light is stronger than darkness. Life is stronger than death. Victory is ours through Him who loved us." Amen.
What is your response?A very ugly day created by the hatred of this despicable so called human. He represents no one, his ideology is ugly and full of hatred, because he hates his inner lost soul. For those innocent, unarmed community building people who lost their lives, not realising that would be their fate, you're martyrs so peace and blessings be open you all. A sad day for humanity.
What is your response?Thanks everyone for your thoughts...I grew up in Bra’ford but live in NZ. We are all horrified as a family and really appreciate gestures from all around the globe, of course especially my birthplace!
What is your response?My heart felt condolences to Muslims around the world. Please stay strong together we stand united.
What is your response?My prayers are with those affected. I strongly condemn terrorism and hatred.
What is your response?My thoughts are with all the people of New Zealand and especially the Muslim Community. New Zealand is a beautiful country with some of the friendliest people in the world. I visted the country some 15 years ago as a practicing Muslim, I travelled the country and came across the most wonderful people. I know the people of NZ will be horrified at what's happened to their peaceful country but they are not to blame. It is the mindless FR extremists with fuel provided by an anti-Muslim media.
What is your response?We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided. All of my condolences and thoughts are with New Zeland at this time! 👫ðŸ»ðŸ‘«ðŸ¼ðŸ‘«ðŸ½ðŸ‘«ðŸ¾ðŸ‘«ðŸ¿ðŸ’–💖💖
