Cairo, Oc. 2 (Petra)– Al-Azhar Al-Sharif strongly condemned the
targeting of a power distribution station in Madinah, stressing its
categorical rejection of the attack, which threatens the security of
the city and puts it at risk.

Al-Azhar stressed that any threat to the safety of Madinah, its
residents, visitors and those heading to the Prophet’s Mosque is
incompatible with the sanctity of the holy sites and their profound
significance in the hearts of Muslims.

It said that targeting Madinah constitutes a provocation to the
feelings of Muslims around the world, noting that the city was the
destination of the Prophet Muhammad’s migration and is home to his
noble mosque, as well as a place toward which Muslims across the
world turn their hearts.

Al-Azhar underscored the great status bestowed upon Madinah by God,
stressing the need to protect and preserve the city and safeguard its
security and safety.

Al-Azhar also renewed its full solidarity with Saudi Arabia and its
unequivocal rejection of anything that threatens the Kingdom’s
security or territorial integrity.

It prayed that God would protect the Land of the Two Holy Mosques
from all harm and preserve the security, stability and prosperity
enjoyed by the Kingdom and its people.
