Tunisian President Praises Al Hokama Publishing’s Releases

Kais Saied, President of the Republic of Tunisia, visited the pavilion of the Muslim Council of Elders at the 39th edition of the Tunis International Book Fair. 

During his tour of the pavilion, he reviewed the Council’s diverse collection of more than 250 publications available in five languages, addressing prominent intellectual and cultural issues.

President Saied expressed particular interest in several key publications, including “The Call for the People of Qiblah: One Nation and a Shared Destiny” and “The Problems Behind the Division of the Ummah into Sunnis and Shia.” 

He emphasized the importance of the unity of the Muslim Ummah, adherence to the fundamental principles of Islam, and the rejection of division, citing the verse from the Quran: “Surely this religion of yours is only one, and I am your Lord, so fear Me alone.” (Quran 23:52).

He also reviewed “100 Questions on Doctrine, Creed, and Sharia,” with its sections covering issues related to Islamic theology, takfir, jihad, Islamic governance, and other contemporary matters. 

He underlined the necessity of correcting misconceptions and the importance of properly understanding Islamic heritage, commending the efforts of the Muslim Council of Elders, under the chairmanship of Dr. Ahmed Al-Tayeb, Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, in promoting peace, fostering the values of dialogue, tolerance, and coexistence, and striving for the unity of the Muslim Ummah.

The Muslim Council of Elders is participating for the second consecutive year with a dedicated pavilion at the Tunis International Book Fair, held from April 25 to May 4, 2025. 

The Council is showcasing more than 250 diverse intellectual and cultural titles by Al Hokama Publishing, in line with its mission to promote peace, foster the values of dialogue and tolerance, and build bridges of cooperation and human coexistence.
