British Islamic Leaders:
- The MWL's approach represents a highly important and distinguished contemporary Islamic model that must be emulated and taught to future generations.
- We value the MWL's efforts in “promoting Islamic awareness,” “defending minority rights,” and “preserving their identity.”
- “The Makkah Charter” is a major milestone in Islamic discourse with non-Muslims.
- “The Document on Building Bridges Between Islamic Sects” and its unifying content gather hearts around the voice of reason, wisdom, and faith—silencing all voices of discord and sectarianism.
- The Prophetic Biography Museum should be replicated in several countries, including London.
His Excellency the Secretary General of the Muslim World League and President of the Association of Muslim Scholars, Sheikh Dr. Muhammad bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa, met yesterday evening in Madinah with British Islamic leaders to discuss several issues concerning the British Muslim community.
The delegation praised the MWL's prominent and vital role in the Islamic world and among Muslim minorities, emphasizing the great trust and positive reputation it holds globally. They described the MWL's methodology as a highly significant and exemplary contemporary Islamic model that must be emulated and taught to future generations. They expressed their pride in the MWL and considered it a source of honor for them.
They also noted that British Muslims remember with pride the honorable occasion when King Charles received His Excellency the Secretary General as the first Arab and Muslim personality “from outside the United Kingdom” to be welcomed at Buckingham Palace following his ascension to the British throne. They commended the MWL's role in promoting Islamic awareness, defending minority rights, and preserving their identity—especially through its impactful programs and initiatives in the UK.
The meeting stressed the importance of standing with the Palestinian cause and, in particular, raising a strong voice to call for an immediate end to the genocide inflicted upon the people of Gaza by the brutal war machine of the Israeli occupation government. This support must be through all legitimate means that do not undermine the peaceful coexistence of Muslims within their national societies. The meeting also highlighted the need to remain vigilant against any attempts aimed at weakening the cohesion of the Muslim community or the broader national fabric. Gaza unites, not divides, and expressing solidarity with it is a legitimate right through all peaceful means.
The meeting also praised the major transformation brought about by “The Makkah Charter,” especially in its message to non-Muslims. Its powerful and lasting influence on key contemporary issues embodies a long-awaited Islamic hope—reflecting the exceptional consensus of moderate Islamic thought.
The participants also underscored the importance of the “Document on Building Bridges Between Islamic Sects” in uniting the voices of Muslim minorities around major issues within their societies. Its unifying content gathers hearts around the voice of reason, wisdom, and faith, extinguishing all sectarian strife. They emphasized the need to activate this document through practical programs in Britain and across Europe—without undermining sectarian particularities, but by working together on shared Islamic values that unite all Muslims.
The delegation also visited the Prophetic Biography Museum, affiliated with the Muslim World League, and stressed the importance of replicating this experience in various countries—including the British capital—due to its rich knowledge and messages presented through impressive modern technology. The museum also addresses key clarifications relevant to Muslims and others alike.
The participants agreed on transferring the museum experience to the city of London—and from there to tens of millions of annual visitors—supporting it through all available means, so that it may serve as a platform connecting Muslim minorities with the life of their noble Prophet, peace be upon him, and presenting to the world the truth of his blessed biography.
