The French Muslim Council (CFCM) will broadcast a “solemn prayer” condemning the terrorist attacks in Paris.
The group issued a statement saying the prayer - which will be heard in 2,500 mosques across the country - will “unambiguously” condemn “all forms of violence or terrorism”.
A spokesman for the group told Le Figaro: “French Muslims want to proclaim their indestructible attachment to republican pact and the values which have formed France.”
It comes five days after a string of co-ordinated terrorist attacks across Paris killed 129 people.
Two people were killed and five more were arrested in a raid in Saint-Denis, a suburb of Paris, believed to have been targeting the alleged mastermind behind the attacks, Abdelhamid Abaaoud.
Muslim leaders across the world have been quick to condemn the attacks on the Bataclan theatre, the Stade de France and several restaurants around the city on Friday evening.
The Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) placed an advert in the Daily Telegraph on Wednesday condemning the “barbaric acts” committed by Isis on behalf of 300 local mosques and community groups.
The MCB said the attacks “have no sanction in the religion of Islam, which forbids terrorism and the targeting of innocents.
“We re-affirm our commitment to the values of pluralism and tolerance as the best defence against those who seek to create division and fear.”
