Special Representative to the Prime Minister for Interfaith Harmony and Middle Eastern Affairs Hafiz Tahir Mehmood Ashrafi has said tha
t there will be no compromise on nobility of Prophethood and sanctity of the Holy Quran at all. Addressing a press conference at Behria Town Grand Masjid, he said the Holy Quran Day was observed on Friday across various countries
including Pakistan. He strongly condemned the burning and desecration of Holy Quran in Sweden. He urged the world to make legislation regarding sacred things and the Holy Quran. Ashrafi said
that the Holy Quran teaches respect for all prophets, and it was not permissible to burn the divine books in Islam. “Muslims believe in all prophets, and
they want respect for all sacred articles related to Islam,” he added. He said
that the honour of the last Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him should also be respected as well. Ashrafi said all Muslims should raise voice against the desecration of Holy Quran collectively. He said all Muslims should be part of peaceful protest against such abhorrent acts, leaving aside their political and religious d
ifferences.
