**Islamabad (Qudrat Daily / Peshawar):**
The **National Peace Message Committee** announced that **Friday will be observed as “Pakistan Message Day”** to promote national harmony, peace, and unity. The announcement was made during a **press conference at the Governor House in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa**, where the committee presented a **unified religious stance against terrorism**.
The committee highlighted that **Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is the province most affected by terrorism** and will be prioritized for the committee’s awareness and peace-promoting activities. **Coordinator Hafiz Tahir Ashrafi** emphasized that scholars from all schools of thought have unanimously declared **terrorism un-Islamic**. He described the **“Message of Pakistan”** as the strongest document of national consensus after the Constitution, ensuring peace, unity, and harmony in the country.

During the press conference, speakers expressed **full solidarity with the State of Pakistan and its national institutions**, especially the **Armed Forces**, calling them protectors of Islam and peace. **Mufti Abdul Rahim** stated that supporting enemies is worse than the actions of the Khawarij, and struggling against such forces is a righteous cause.
