It is the basic principle of Islam that you assist each other in pursuit of good righteous causes and do not co-operate with anyone for committing sin or oppression. It is evident in the clear cut guidelines given in the Holy Quran that the allegation of terrorism against a religion like Islam which enjoins world peace is nothing but a lie. In fact Islam was born to wipe of all kinds of terrorism and to spread the message of global peace".<ref name="fatwa"/> The edict was said to be first ever such to be issued from the seminary.<ref name="toi"/><br />
