Secretary-General of the Muslim World League Dr. Mohammed Al-Issa said on Tuesday that the MWL’s “Building Bridges Between Islamic Schools” document is a major step forward in promoting unity within the Muslim world.

He said the endorsement of the document highlights the combined efforts of governments and scholars to strengthen solidarity, counter division, and serve the Muslim community.

During its 50th session in Yaoundé, Cameroon, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) approved the document.

Issued by the MWL, it aims to heal sectarian divisions by promoting dialogue based on Islamic teachings. The document seeks to end long-standing disputes that have caused divisions within the Muslim community, urging a shift from unproductive debates to meaningful discussions.

The document was first presented in March at the “Global Conference for Building Bridges between Islamic Schools of Thought and Sects,” held under the patronage of Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz.

It gathered scholars from various Islamic sects worldwide and contains 28 articles focused on unity through the guidance of the Quran and the Prophet’s teachings.

Al-Issa praised King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for their support of the conference and Saudi Arabia’s leadership in uniting the Muslim world, emphasizing the Kingdom’s role in serving the Two Holy Mosques.
