Sheikh Dr. Mohammed Al-Issa, Secretary-General of the Muslim World League (MWL), has highlighted that Muslims have upheld high values of civilization through their conduct.

Speaking at Dar es Salaam’s largest mosque, where he led the Friday prayers, Al-Issa began his visit to Tanzania, part of a wider African tour for League activities. In his sermon, he emphasized mercy, forgiveness, and tolerance in Islam.

He noted that Islamic teachings combine idealism with realism, promoting kindness to all people, regardless of differences.

Al-Issa referenced the Prophet Muhammad’s definition of kindness as “good character,” a principle that remains constant across different backgrounds.

He also discussed the “upright behavior” encouraged by the Quran and the Prophet’s teachings, which guide Muslims in sharing the message of Islam and interacting wisely with others.

Al-Issa ended his sermon with a prayer for the oppressed in Gaza and all those facing hardship globally, asking for God’s relief and support.

The Saudi government said on Tuesday it was following the developments in the region and efforts the Kingdom was exerting to consolidate security and stability in Yemen.

Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz chaired the cabinet meeting that was held in Riyadh.

The cabinet noted the Kingdom’s efforts to provide the conditions to hold dialogue between all Yemeni parties. It reiterated its welcome of Presidential Leadership Council (PLC) Chairman Dr. Rashad al-Alimi's request to hold a comprehensive conference on southern Yemen in Riyadh.

The conference aims to reach just solutions for the southern issue that meets the aspirations of the southerners.

The cabinet was briefed on the telephone calls received by Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, from Türkiye's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Syria's President Ahmed al-Sharaa, Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and Pakistan’s Prime Minister Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif. The discussions addressed relations between the Kingdom and these countries, as well as regional and international developments.

The cabinet discussed the Kingdom’s ongoing efforts to address the humanitarian situation in Gaza by intensifying air, sea, and land aid bridges to support the Palestinian people.

These efforts are carried out under the directives of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and the Crown Prince and reflect the Kingdom’s longstanding role in providing humanitarian assistance and its unwavering support for the Palestinian cause.

On the domestic affairs, the cabinet underlined the Kingdom’s commitment to strengthening its position in advanced technologies and building an integrated digital ecosystem that boosts the competitiveness of the national economy and attracts investment, in line with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030 to establish a sustainable, data- and artificial intelligence-driven economy.

The cabinet commended the launch in Riyadh of the world’s largest government data center project, “Hexagon,” which is considered a significant strategic milestone that reinforces the Kingdom’s position as a global hub in this field, ensures data sovereignty and security, and enables innovation and the growth of the digital economy.
