Muslims must undergo comprehensive reforms in order to make progress and overcome challenges, Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Fahd said in an address to the Makkah conference organized by the Muslim World League. In his opening address, read out by Makkah Governor Prince Abdul Majeed, King Fahd urged Muslim youth to shun extremism and uphold the Islamic values of kindness and benevolence.
| Yup. That oughta do it. Problem's solved. What's for lunch? |
King Fahd attributed the weakness of the Ummah to Muslim countriesâ reluctance to implement the Shariah. He urged Muslims to strengthen their relationship with God and fellow humans.
| Oh, yasss. That's the problem. Not enough shariah... |
Dr. Abdullah Al-Turki, the leagueâs secretary-general, said it was time for Muslims to discard reactionary attitudes. âWe should instead work out strategies and plans to confront challenges,â he said. Sheikh Abdul Aziz Al-Asheikh, the grand mufti, highlighted the leagueâs role in projecting the correct picture of Islam to the outside world. He also commended the Kingdomâs efforts to unify the Muslim ranks. |
