The stand of the Muslim Council of Elders at the Cairo International Book Fair hosted its 17th cultural seminar, titled "The Ethics of Dialogue in the Quran."
The event featured Prof. Dr. Nahla Al-Saeedi, Head of the Development Centre for International Students, and Prof. Dr. Abdel Fattah Khidr, Former Dean of the Faculty of Quranic Sciences at Al-Azhar University.
The seminar was moderated by journalist Mr. Mohamed Gomaa, a presenter on the Quran Radio Network.
Opening the discussion, Dr. Nahla Al-Saeedi highlighted that the essence of dialogue is to foster peace, spread goodwill, and encourage mutual understanding and persuasion.
She emphasized that the Quran teaches the most effective approach to dialogue—engaging with wisdom and in the best manner possible—which serves as the ideal path for shaping human behavior and nurturing intellectual convictions.
She further noted that for dialogue to be meaningful, it must be built on strong foundations, adding that the real challenge is not in the values themselves but in our inability to put them into practice.
She added that the Quran serves as a timeless constitution for humanity, offering guidance for all eras and circumstances. It teaches essential forms of dialogue that uphold harmony in life—between leaders and their people, children and their parents, and even with those who hold opposing views.
She highlighted the dialogues of Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) with his father and his son, which exemplify respect and humility.
