AMMAN – Islamic scholars on Sunday underlined the need for preserving unity as the Muslim world encounters growing challenges.
Calling for solidarity and tolerance among all Muslims, the scholars highlighted the role of the Hashemites in safeguarding Al Aqsa Mosque and Jerusalem against the Israeli occupation.
They made the remarks at a ceremony yesterday marking the anniversary of Prophet Mohammad’s Hijra (migration from Mecca to Medina), in the presence of His Majesty King Abdullah, several Royal family members, and senior officials and officers.
On Saturday, Jordan, along with other Arab and Muslim countries, celebrated the Hijri New Year (1433). The Islamic year begins on the first day of Muharram, the first month in the Islamic calendar and one of the four sacred months in Islam.
“The Muslim nation is facing attempts to sow seeds of sedition among the Muslims. The nation is facing conspiracies at this stage that require vigilance,” Abdul Karim Khasawneh, the Kingdom’s grand mufti, said at the ceremony, held by the Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs at the King Abdullah I Mosque yesterday.
He emphasised the need to end divisions among Muslims, as well as to uproot corruption and implement reforms.
Did they define who is a Muslim?
I am proud American too, but I do not follow some policies practices in America, like “war is peace”, “slavery is independence” , “Ignorance is strength”.
Muslim unity will not be brought by corrupt kings & dictator. Why does Mahdi/Isa not appearing ?
May be he has!
Naeem Sahib,you must be living in wrong part of America to determine that these are American policies/practices.I am Proud of the Country & not certain negative elements.I live in the Land of Licoln & Obama.
Anwar sahib you forgot to add, should be like this,”I live in the land of Lincoln, Obama and Bush.”
Anwar sahib I also recommend for you some free speech media, that might change your perspective, not just listen to ABC, NBC,CBS and fox.
Illinois is the land of Lincoln & Obama. Bush is from Texas.
