The Afghan Martyrs — Page 32
After the conclusion of the 'Peshawar Agreement' in April 1992 it was hoped that the land of Afghanistan would at last see some peace. But unfortunately, due to their deep rooted differences which rose to the surface, Persian speaking Afghans from the north, Pushto speaking Afghans from the south, the Communists and the Fundamentalists, began to fight amongst themselves. Since then Kabul has seen one blood bath after another. In March 1993 the 'Islamabad Agreement' was concluded which was duly confirmed and ratified in Mecca and Saudi Arabia, Iran and Pakistan were the guarantors. We hope and pray that the Afghans will now stop shedding blood. We pray that the Almighty may put an end to the Afghan trials and grant them peace, equity and prosperity. May He forgive them their excesses and enable them to listen to the call of the Promised Messiah (PBUH) and enable them to respond by saying, "Labbaik" (We are ready). 32
