"Towards Sound Social Ethics" Seminar Hosted at CIBF

The Muslim Council of Elders' stand at the Cairo International Book Fair held its eighteenth cultural seminar, titled "Towards Sound Social Ethics."

 The event featured Professor Dr. Mohammed Abdel Malik, Vice President of Al-Azhar University and a professor of Tafsir and Quranic Sciences, with Dr. Mohammed Jamal, a researcher at the Office for the Revival of Islamic Heritage at Al-Azhar Headquarters, serving as the moderator.

Dr. Abdel Malik opened the seminar by stressing that ethics are fundamental in Islam, underscoring the critical need to intertwine good conduct with devout worship in today's society. He emphasized that a complete religion involves both adherence to God's commands and the fulfillment of obligations towards fellow humans.

 Additionally, he highlighted that cultivating good character and managing behavior are central goals of Islamic worship.

Dr. Abdel Malik, Vice President of Al-Azhar University, emphasized that teaching children ethical behavior requires a collaborative effort, not limited to families alone but involving educational institutions and the media as well.

 He highlighted three effective upbringing strategies: observational learning, leading by example, and moral guidance, while cautioning against giving children unrestricted access to the digital world without supervision.
