MWL Secretary-General Visits Sudan to Promote Religious Awareness and National Unity
Riyadh — In a significant move to strengthen ties and foster dialogue across the Islamic world, Dr. Mohammed bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa, Secretary-General of the Muslim World League (MWL), embarked on an official visit to Sudan, where he met with a delegation of Sudanese scholars and national leaders.
The visit reflects the MWL’s continued commitment to promoting peace, understanding, and religious awareness throughout the Muslim community, while supporting nations in their pursuit of unity and stability.
The meeting, attended by Sudan’s Prime Minister Kamil Idris, focused on several areas of mutual interest, emphasizing the critical role that scholars and religious leaders play in nurturing social harmony and guiding communities toward moderation and tolerance.
The discussions highlighted how faith-based initiatives can serve as powerful tools for strengthening national unity and building bridges between diverse segments of society.
Dr. Al-Issa’s visit comes at a time when many nations are working to reinforce the principles of coexistence and compassion within their societies.
His engagement with Sudanese scholars underscored the MWL’s belief that true religious awareness goes beyond rituals and beliefs—it extends into fostering moral responsibility, respect for others, and a shared sense of humanity.
The dialogue aimed to empower religious figures to play a proactive role in encouraging dialogue, dispelling misconceptions, and countering extremist ideologies that threaten social cohesion.
During the visit, both sides reaffirmed their shared values and commitment to deepening cooperation in religious education, humanitarian initiatives, and cultural exchange.
The discussions touched on ways to promote balanced religious discourse that reflects the core teachings of Islam—peace, mercy, and justice.
Dr. Al-Issa praised the dedication of Sudanese scholars and their efforts in guiding communities through challenges while maintaining unity and faith-based resilience.
The Muslim World League, headquartered in Makkah, has long served as a global platform for promoting moderation, interfaith dialogue, and the true values of Islam.
Under Dr. Al-Issa’s leadership, the MWL has actively expanded its outreach to countries around the world, working with governments, religious institutions, and community organizations to spread messages of peace and mutual respect.
His visit to Sudan reflects this ongoing mission to ensure that religious understanding serves as a foundation for stability and progress.
In his discussions, Dr. Al-Issa highlighted the need for continuous collaboration between religious scholars and state institutions to ensure that faith remains a unifying force rather than a source of division.
He emphasized the importance of educating young people about authentic Islamic teachings that encourage coexistence and compassion, preparing them to become responsible citizens and positive contributors to society.
Prime Minister Kamil Idris expressed appreciation for the MWL’s efforts and for Dr. Al-Issa’s visit, noting that Sudan values the organization’s role in supporting the Muslim community worldwide.
He reaffirmed his government’s commitment to promoting moderate religious awareness as a cornerstone of national development.
The prime minister also underscored that Sudan welcomes cooperation with international religious bodies to enhance community education and promote moral and spiritual growth.
The meeting concluded with both sides agreeing to explore new initiatives focused on youth empowerment, education, and cultural programs designed to foster understanding among different communities.
Dr. Al-Issa’s visit not only strengthened ties between the MWL and Sudan but also highlighted the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s broader vision of global engagement—one rooted in peace, mutual respect, and humanitarian partnership.
This visit stands as a testament to the Muslim World League’s ongoing efforts to build bridges between nations, encourage cooperation among religious scholars, and support countries in their pursuit of harmony and progress.
By promoting religious awareness based on truth, compassion, and tolerance, the MWL continues to serve as a guiding light for the Muslim world, inspiring nations to embrace unity and shared purpose for a better future.
