ISESCO commends Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques’ initiative to establish center for dialogue among Islamic Madhahib
The Islamic Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ISESCO) commended the initiative of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques to establish a Center for Dialogue among Islamic Madhahib in Riyadh.
In a communiqué released today, ISESCO considered the proposition made by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques to the extraordinary session of the Islamic Summit Conference, which commenced yesterday in Makkah al-Mukarramah, on setting up a center for dialogue among Islamic Madhahib to help Muslims reach consensus, as a sound initiative introduced by a wise Arab-Muslim leader who endeavors to promote unity among Muslims and avert all causes of division and schism.
ISESCO also pointed out that the establishment of a center for dialogue among Islamic Madhahib will bolster the efforts it exerts in this regard as part of the implementation of the Strategy for Bringing Muslim Madhahib Closer Together, which was adopted by the 10th Islamic Summit Conference, held in Malaysia in 2003.
Likewise, ISESCO underlined that issuing a resolution by the 4th Extraordinary Islamic Summit Conference on establishing a center for dialogue among the Islamic Madhahib will give a fresh impetus to the process of bringing Islamic Madhahib closer together through promoting the culture of mutual respect based on the perennial values of Islam.
In the same vein, ISESCO expressed its deep appreciation of the sustained efforts made by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques to foster Islamic solidarity through various means, including dialogue, which it described as the approach adopted by the sage to resolve disputes and wisely address the challenges facing the Islamic Ummah at this juncture.
Similarly, ISESCO called upon OIC Member States to support this initiative and work towards integrating it into joint Islamic action in such a way as to promote Islamic solidarity and strengthen the ties of Islamic brotherhood among Muslim countries.
