The scholars categorically reject threats aimed at Ayatollah Khamenei, emphasizing that any attempts on his life would not only be a moral transgression but would also destabilize the region and perpetuate suffering among innocent populations. They urge South African Muslim leaders and institutions to collectively affirm the sanctity of life and take a principled stance against political violence and injustice.
The statement culminates with a verse from the Quran (61:8), reinforcing their commitment to resist attempts to extinguish the light of truth.
