Delivering the Haj sermon, Imam-e-Kaaba Sheikh Abdurrahman Al-Sudais Sunday said terrorism could not be linked with a particular religion or nation adding that Islam was a religion of peace having nothing to do with terrorism.
Imam-e-Kaaba urged Muslims around the globe to come together to follow the message of peace given by Islam and shun violence unequivocally.
Sheikh Al-Sudais delivered the Haj sermon as Grand Mufti Abdul Aziz al-Sheikh was reportedly ill. The Imam-e-Kaaba called upon the Muslims to strictly follow the teachings of Islam and keep their matters in their own hands.
