Falls Church, VA. Friday, March 15, 2019 (Quran 2:114) And who is more unjust than those who forbid that Allah's Name be glorified and mentioned much in Allah's Houses and strive for their ruin? It was not fitting that such should themselves enter them except in fear. For them there is disgrace in this world, and they will have a great torment in the Hereafter.

Dar Al-Hijrah Islamic Center condemns in the strongest of terms the horrific terror attack against Muslim houses of worship in New Zealand today. The Terror attack has left 49 dead and many injured. Preventing worshippers of any faith from worshiping and terrorizing them in a sanctuary intended for the remembrance of the Almighty is particularly heinous. We are reminded in these circumstances that this terrorist attack is a product of the hate mongering, xenophobic, and bigoted rhetoric by some politicians and media throughout the world. We pray for our brothers and sisters in New Zealand, their families, and all those who have fallen victim to this attack. And we challenge our President to condemn all types of hate and supremacy and begin a conversation towards healing the divide.
