Islamic Grand Muftis, scholars, and intellectuals from across the Muslim world have adopted the Encyclopedia of Islamic Intellectual Consensus and approved the strategic and executive plan for the Document on Building Bridges Between Islamic Schools of Thought and Sects at the conclusion of the second edition of the international conference Building Bridges Between Islamic Schools of Thought and Sects, held in Makkah.
Held under the patronage of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, the conference gathered representatives of Islamic schools and sects from over 90 countries under the theme Towards an Effective Islamic Coalition on March 6-7.
Participants also witnessed the launch of the Encyclopedia of Islamic Intellectual Consensus, overseen by the Center for Safeguarding Intellect of the Saudi Ministry of Defense and prepared by sixty scholars. The encyclopedia was reviewed by the General Secretariat of the Council of Senior Scholars in Saudi Arabia, along with members of the Islamic Fiqh Academy and the Supreme Council of the Muslim World League, to serve as a guiding framework for inter-sectarian relations based on shared Islamic values.
The conference lauded the MWL’s efforts in redefining sectarian relations through the Document on Building Bridges, ensuring that the initiative is not merely symbolic but reinforced with practical programs and strategic partnerships aimed at fostering unity and cohesion within the Islamic world.
