Re: Incident Regarding Sister Rehana at Barakah Foundation Grounds.

The Waajihatul Islaamiyyah is distancing itself and condemning the actions or behaviors of any Muslim/Non Muslim who may use their platform or entity to attack Muslims and non Muslims by way of intimidation, lies, deception and mischief. This childish, immature and reckless behaviour would not be condoned nor tolerated by this organisation.

The Waajihatul Islaamiyyah is alluding to the the incident involving sister Rehana at the Barakah foundation grounds which mirrors such concerns.
The Barakah ground is the very ground which Islam in all its beautiful forms should be promoted and should foster a safe and comfortable space and environment for Muslim/Non Muslim to interact and socialize with each other, but instead it appears it’s being used as space for thuggery, hatred, discord, and ill treatment towards some Muslim/Non Muslim, and this situation involving sister Rehana at the grounds is indicative of this.

Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) have conducted a thorough investigation into the matter and have spoken to witnesses who were present at the time and have found no wrong doing on the sister's path. The allegations hurled against her WERE found to be baseless, false and erroneous; a total fabrication, with a clear intent on tarnishing the sister's good character and family's name. This act was mischievous and vile.

Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) view this and all attacks on women as an attack on our nation's woven fabric, the sanctity of life and the future of our beautiful country. This was an attack on our mothers, our sisters, and our daughters.

Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) is calling on all Muslim leaders to condemn the actions of such individuals. The actions and behaviour of these individuals does not represent Islam nor the teachings and practices of our beloved prophet Muhammad, his companions, and the righteous predecessors.

Our condemnation comes with the greatest concern for Islam, Muslims, our fellow countrymen and the future of this nation.
