Published in Saudi Press Agency on 04 - 06 - 2008


Most gracious, Most merciful
Thanks to Allah the Almighty, And Peace and Blessings upon the seal of the Prophets, prayer and peace be upon his family and companions:
Brothers, Muslim scholars and thinkers:
May Allah's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you all:
From the land of Revelation and land of Message, I welcome you with warmest greetings, beseeching Almighty Allah to give us the unrelenting determination, a power not afflicted by weakness and makes us from those whom Allah said about them " Nor can Goodness and Evil be equal. Repel (Evil) with what is better: Then will he between whom and thee was hatred become as it were thy friend and intimate" (S 41 A 34).
Dear Brothers
You gathered today to say to the world around us, with confidence which Allah bestowed upon us. We are the voice of justice and human moral values, and we are voice of rational and just co-existence and dialogue, voice of wisdom and admonition, and argumentation with the best way possible as Allah says "Invite all to the way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching ; and argue with them in ways that are best" S 16 A125 and God willing we will do.
Dear brothers:
How Great this nation is, How difficult the challenges it faces in time where its enemies of extremism from its sons and others join forces to change its fair approach. They are gathered with blatant aggressiveness to target the tolerance, justice and noble purposes of Islam.
For this reason, this invitation from your brother, is to counter challenges of rigidity, ignorance, narrow-mindedness, and to make the world accommodate the concepts and the prospects of the kind message of Islam without enemity and antagonism.
"O Mankind! We created You from single (pair) of Male and female, And made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (Not that may despise each other ). Verily the most honored of you in the sight of Allah is ( he who is) the most righteous of you.) S 49 A 13.
