In a statement by its Ameer, Malam Muhammad Sani Makarfi, the group said irrespective of who was behind the murder, it is totally condemnable and does not reflect the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW).
Malam Muhammad said in the entire lifetime of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) as clearly documented in all accounts, there was no time he preached or condoned violence.
“This is, therefore, alien to Islam. Allah has clearly stated in the Holy Qur’an that taking the life of an innocent person is like slaying the entire mankind. This action does not have any basis in Islam,” he added.
