Being a student is challenging enough. Today, Ohio State University students had deal with Abdul Razak’s stabbing spree. In all sincerity,  our thoughts are with the victims of this horrific and savage attack. We sincerly pray for your safety and speedy recovery.

Muslims are grateful and congraulate first responders for their professional and fast response. You have done an awesome job in providing safety and security of humanity. May God, whom Muslims call Allah, bless you and your families, Ameen

Our community urges Muslims and invites our neighbors to come together and communicate on matters of concern. Lashing out in this manner, especially for a human is not befitting. We are part of an open and diverse society. We should continue to stand together to rid our communities of senseless violence. And as members of a close-knit community, we must especially take greater interest in those individuals who are experiencing mental or behavioral instabilities, and assist them in seeking a balanced, safe, and fulfilling life.

We pray to Allah, Lord of the universe, to reward the families and friends as well as the people of Ohio who are in deep pain and suffering great hardship.
