Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The Ministry of Islamic Affairs has issued a magazine named "Terrorism." Is not the word "terrorism" mentioned in the Qur'an as a praiseworthy term, given Allah the Exalted's saying:[Al-Anfal 8:60] Is it not better to change it?
Answer:
They do not mean the terrorism mentioned in the Qur'an; they mean the terrorism known today. Is that their intention? Do they not mean the terrorism mentioned in the Qur'an?
