Madinah:
His Excellency Sheikh Dr. Mohammed bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa, the Secretary-General of the Muslim World League (MWL) and Chairman of the Organization of Muslim Scholars, met yesterday evening in Madinah with British Islamic leaders. Several issues of interest to the British Islamic community were discussed.
The delegation praised the prominent and impactful role played by the MWL across the Islamic world and in countries with Muslim minorities, emphasizing the esteemed reputation and deep trust it enjoys among Muslim communities worldwide. They described the MWL’s approach as a highly significant and exemplary modern Islamic model—one that deserves to be emulated and taught to future generations—underscoring that the MWL is a source of deep pride for them.
They also recalled that King Charles received His Excellency the Secretary-General of the MWL as the first Arab and Muslim figure “from outside the United Kingdom” to be welcomed at Buckingham Palace following his ascension to the British throne. They commended the MWL’s efforts to promote Islamic awareness, defend minority rights, and preserve cultural and religious identity, highlighting the tangible impact of its initiatives and programs in the United Kingdom as exemplary models.
The meeting highlighted the importance of a steadfast stance in support of the Palestinian cause, notably through raising a strong and unequivocal call for an immediate end to the genocide being perpetrated against the people of Gaza by the brutal war machine of the Israeli occupation government. This support must be exercised through all legitimate means that safeguard the harmonious coexistence of Muslims within their national societies. Furthermore, the participants underscored the need for vigilance against any attempts to weaken the cohesion of the Muslim community or the unity of broader national societies. Gaza, they affirmed, is a symbol of unity—not division—and expressing solidarity with its people is a rightful and legitimate act, to be carried out through all peaceful means.
The meeting highlighted the transformative impact of the Charter of Makkah, particularly in its engagement with non-Muslim audiences. It noted that the Charter’s visionary framework and its enduring influence on pressing contemporary issues embody a long-anticipated aspiration for Islamic moderation—one that reflects an exceptional consensus.
The meeting further affirmed the significance of the Charter of Building Bridges between Islamic Schools of Thought and Sects in unifying the voices of Muslim minorities on major societal issues. The Charter was praised for its unifying message, which brings hearts together around reason, wisdom, and faith, effectively silencing sectarian discord. Attendees emphasized the need to implement this Charter through practical programs in the United Kingdom and across Europe—while fully respecting sectarian distinctions and promoting collaboration around the shared principles of Islam that unite all Muslims.
The delegation also visited the MWL’s Museum of the Prophetic Biography, underscoring the importance of replicating this experience in other countries—including the British capital—given the wealth of knowledge and messages it conveys through striking modern technology, along with its informative contributions that serve both Muslim and non-Muslim audiences alike.
They agreed on the importance of bringing the Museum’s experience to the city of London—reaching the tens of millions who visit it annually—and supporting this initiative by all available means. The museum would serve as a platform to strengthen the connection of Muslim minorities with the life of their noble Prophet, peace be upon him, and to present the true essence of his blessed biography to the world.
