The Muslim Council of Elders concluded its participation in the 30th Rabat International Book Fair with a cultural seminar titled "Between Two Humanities: A Dream and Wisdom Between Decline and Emergence."
The session was moderated by Dr. Samir Boudinar, Director of Al Hokama Center for Peace Research, and presented by renowned Egyptian academic and thinker Dr. Mustafa Hijazi.
Opening the seminar, Dr. Samir Boudinar emphasized Dr. Mustafa Hijazi’s profound intellectual vision and research expertise, noting the pressing need for thinkers who can chart bold new paths for questioning and understanding.
He stressed the importance of strategic thinkers who can help navigate the complex realities of our societies through both critical and constructive engagement with philosophical and social issues.
In his remarks, Dr. Mustafa Hijazi highlighted the necessity of asking the "right and fundamental questions," which he referred to as "questions of truth."
He observed that humanity has moved beyond the phase of "rehumanizing humanity" and now stands "at the threshold of an exchange between two humanities." Dr. Hijazi pointed out that all of humanity traces its origins to a single source, and that the essence of creation is rooted in unity (Tawhid). He described historical divisions — between science and religion, between philosophy, science, and faith — as manifestations of a "non-human" condition marked by conflict and antagonism.
