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.

Saudi Arabia actively marks World Children's Day, observed on November 20 every year, through a range of projects and initiatives carried out by the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief), which is dedicated to supporting children and promoting their well-being worldwide.

Since its establishment, KSrelief has implemented 3,117 projects across 105 countries, totaling over $7.1 billion. Among these, 965 projects were valued at over $924 million, specifically focusing on enhancing the living conditions of children and their families, alleviating their suffering and ensuring access to education in safe and healthy environments.

One significant project by the center is the rehabilitation and reintegration of children recruited and affected by the armed conflict in Yemen, which aims to support child soldiers in their journey back to society.

The project has positively impacted 530 children and 60,560 family members. It entails facilitating the children's integration into their communities, enrolling them in schools, and offering vital psychological and social support through targeted training courses, helping them to lead normal, fulfilling lives.
KSrelief is a key supporter of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), significantly contributing to the delivery of health services and nutrition programs for newborns and their mothers. The center also plays a crucial role in supporting educational initiatives and ensuring the continuity of education in crisis and disaster-affected areas.
