Close watch on Iran and pro-Iran elements essential for protection of Makkah: Shia cleric Maulana Hasan Ali Rajani
Prominent Shia cleric urges reliance on official Saudi investigations over viral social media claims of attempted attack at Masjid al-Haram, calls for thorough probe into networks and financial backing if sacred sites are
Delhi, October 3:Prominent Shia cleric Maulana Hasan Ali Rajani, commenting on viral social media videos and claims regarding an attempted suicide attack at Makkah and Masjid al-Haram, stated that reliance should be placed on official investigations and authentic information rather than unverified reports and speculation.
Maulana Rajani noted that while claims were circulating on social media about an individual entering Masjid al-Haram wearing a suicide vest and attempting to approach the Kaaba, Saudi authorities clarified that these claims were not confirmed in that form.
He emphasized that Makkah, the Kaaba, and Masjid al-Haram are sites of immense sanctity for the entire Muslim Ummah, and there can be no compromise regarding their sanctity, peace, or the safety of pilgrims.
Maulana Rajani further added that should any group or element attempt to target sacred sites like the Kaaba or Masjid al-Haram in the future, a thorough and transparent investigation must be conducted into the networks, patronage, and financial backing behind such actions. He stated that if evidence emerges linking elements affiliated with or supported by Iran to any such nefarious attempt, this aspect must be thoroughly investigated, and their activities closely monitored in light of any potential threat.
He emphasized that before linking the viral video in question to any country, government, or group, verification from Saudi authorities and credible investigative sources is essential; holding any party responsible for the incident without reliable evidence would be inappropriate.
Maulana Hasan Ali Rajani urged the public to refrain from circulating unverified videos and posts regarding Makkah and Masjid al-Haram, advising them to rely solely on information confirmed by Saudi authorities and credible news agencies.
He noted that maintaining the peace of holy sites, ensuring the safety of pilgrims, and upholding the sanctity of these places is the collective responsibility of the entire Muslim Ummah, and that one must strictly avoid rumors, incitement, and chaos regarding such sensitive matters.
In conclusion, Maulana Rajani reiterated that utmost caution is required to safeguard the Kaaba and that the activities of Iran and Iran-backed elements must be closely watched given any potential risks.
