"Islam, Aspired Fraternity".. Seminar at CIBF

The Muslim Council of Elders’ stand at the Cairo International Book Fair held its fifteenth cultural seminar titled "Islam and the Aspired Fraternity: Objectives and Means," featuring Prof. Dr. Ahmed Omar Hashim, a member of the Council of Senior Scholars at Al-Azhar, with the seminar moderated by Dr. Ali Shams El-Din, a researcher at the General Secretariat of the Council of Senior Scholars at Al-Azhar.

At the beginning of the seminar, Professor Dr. Ahmed Omar Hashim emphasized that the aspired fraternity is a fundamental goal that sages of the world, Muslims, and all leaders should direct people towards, regardless of their social strata and at all levels, to foster peace, security, stability, justice, and human rights among them. He highlighted that this fraternity should be based on unity, solidarity, and mending divisions, urging humanity to unite as one, cooperating in goodness and benefit, and rejecting the clash of civilizations, division, and conflict.

Dr. Ahmed Omar Hashim emphasized the importance of promoting the noble human values enshrined in the Document on Human Fraternity across all levels. He advocated for advancing the path towards the aspired fraternity to illuminate the world, fostering a society where people are seen as equals, with no distinctions among individuals. Achieving this would enable the world to live without conflict.

He also commended the contributions of the Senior Scholars at the "Islamic-Islamic Dialogue" conference, scheduled to take place this month in Bahrain, attended by officials from the Muslim world. This conference is designed to ensure that every Muslim understands their rights and responsibilities in this matter, praising the Muslim Council of Elders for its commitment to truth and wisdom in these discussions.
