Statement on the Incident in Karak
All perfect praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds. May His peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.
Allah the Almighty says (What means): "Think not of those who are slain in God’s way as dead. Nay, they live, finding their sustenance in the presence of their Lord; They rejoice in the bounty provided by God: And with regard to those left behind, who have not yet joined them (in their bliss), the (Martyrs) glory in the fact that on them is no fear, nor have they (cause to) grieve They glory in the Grace and the bounty from God, and in the fact that God suffereth not the reward of the Faithful to be lost (in the least)." {Al-Emran, 169-171}.
The General Iftaa` Department mourns the martyrs from amongst the gendarmerie and public security forces who sacrificed their lives for the sake of Allah defending their homeland and innocent citizens who were martyred in the city of Karak. We call upon Almighty Allah to accept them along with those persons upon whom Allah bestowed favors from amongst the Apostles, the testifiers of truth, the martyrs, the pious and goodly company are they.
With the efforts of its honest men and loyal citizens, Jordan will remain steadfast against all cowardly attempts targeting its security, stability, and the determination of its people. These unfortunate events will only increase Jordan's unity and determination to foil the plots of the traitors aiming to destabilize it.
The Department also calls on all Jordanians to support the security forces against the extremist ideology and the Khawarij (outlaws) of this era, and those who break the law, and to support the wise Hashemite leadership, headed by His Majesty King Abdullah II Ibn Al-Hussein, may Allah protect him.
The Department expresses its deepest condolences to His Majesty King Abdullah II and the families of the martyrs asking Allah to grant them solace. The martyrs will always be remembered as a symbol of national honor and pride.
We call upon Allah to have mercy on the martyrs and bless their families with patience and solace. Indeed, we belong to Allah, and indeed to him we will return.
