His Excellency
The President of the Republic of Türkiye
The Honourable
Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan
Your Excellency Mr. President,
On behalf of the Muslim community of South Africa, and the National Awqaf Foundation of South Africa, we extend our sincere condolences to the Turkish nation on the cowardly terrorist attack on Sunday 13 October that caused the loss of innocent lives in Taksim.
We condemn this heinous terror attack in the strongest terms. We assure you of our continued support to you Mr. President, your government, the armed forces, and the people of your great land.
We live by the Quranic injunction and Prophetic Sunnah that the loss of an innocent life is equal to the loss of the entirety of humanity.
We pray that the cowards of this dastardly act will be brought to justice swiftly and that the safety and security of all people will once more prevail.
Türkiye under your leadership remains a bastion for the preservation of human rights and dignity globally.
We also note with pride the vast strides your great nation has made in the fields of technology, economic stability, and governance. The nefarious forces behind this cowardly attack sought to destabilise this stability but failed hopelessly.
May Allah Almighty heal the deep wounds caused by these attacks and protect us all from the aggressions of hate and intolerance!
We are confident that in moving forward Türkiye and its great people under your esteemed leadership, will continue to be a beacon of hope to the oppressed through the promotion of the values of justice and stability, Insha’Allah.
