Scholar says terrorist group is certainly not part of Islam

Malam Abdullahi Abubakar is the latest cleric to openly attack Boko Haram for going against the teachings of Islam.

According to the Islamic scholar, the violence and destruction of property clearly prove that the terrorist group is against true Muslim beliefs, News Express reports.

In his words, “Islam is based on four fundamentals; they are justice, mercy, wellbeing and wisdom and anything contrary to these is against Islamic Shariah.

“Boko Haram members claim that Muslims who do not join their group are non-Muslims, which is contrary to the concept of justice in Islam because in Islam, there is no compulsion to any religion.

They slaughter people and rape women all in the name of religion, this is certainly not part of Islam."

He added, “Muslims must seek knowledge to be able to perform the religion in accordance with the teachings of the Holy Prophet.”

"The Boko Haram group should re-consider its thought and revisit its methodology by following the right teachings of Islam," he said.

Mallam Abubakar is also a lecturer at Bayero University Kano (BUK).
