The Secretary-General of the Muslim World League (MWL), Dr. Mohammad al-Issa, addressed the media's vital role in spreading the truth and promoting awareness of objectivity, impartiality, and professionalism, representing the moral value of responsibility.

Issa met with an Egyptian media delegation led by Chairman of the Supreme Council for Media Regulation (SCMR) Karam Gabr.

The Sec-Gen addressed the issue of media freedoms, stressing that it was a significant value as long as it was determined within legitimacy, adding that the Arab and Islamic media played an excellent role in advancing media responsibility.

He lauded the honorable media competition and said every media platform has values that distinguish it in the Arab and Islamic world.

Issa explained that as an international non-governmental organization concerned with the Islamic peoples, the League established several initiatives and programs worldwide based on its goals that focus on clarifying the truth of Islam and confronting ideas of extremism, terrorism, hatred, and racism.

He also noted that the MWL aims to support the Islamic role in collaborating between civilizations, especially building bridges of understanding and cooperation between followers of religions and cultures.

Issa asserted that the League does not deal with politics or interfere in any political matter, except issues that address its goals and core message, noting that its objectives and statements focus specifically on contributing to peace and harmony of the societies.

The Muslim World League will hold an international conference on media responsibility, with the participation of the most prominent Islamic and non-Islamic media figures and institutions worldwide.

The Egyptian delegation lauded the efforts of the League and the initiative to hold the conference on such an important issue.

Bringing together representatives from Fiqh academies, organizations, councils, and religious committees, along with a distinguished assembly of muftis and senior scholars from various schools of thought and sects across the Islamic world, the Scholars’ Session reaffirmed the enduring consensus in Islam—both historically and contemporarily—on the legitimate right of women to education.

The exclusive Scholars’ Session, part of the “Girls’ Education in Muslim Communities” initiative, was held in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan, under the leadership of Sheikh Dr. Mohammed Al-Issa, Secretary-General of the Muslim World League and Chairman of the Organization of Muslim Scholars.

At the conclusion of the extensive scholarly dialogue, which lasted several hours, all participants unanimously affirmed—with enlightened judgment—the Islamic consensus, both historically and contemporarily, on the legitimate right of women to education.

This consensus is based on the comprehensive Islamic texts concerning the matter, affirming that women possess the same rights as their male counterparts to education at any age, level, or field of study, provided it aligns with Islamic teachings.

The discussion underscored that this right is rooted in the fundamental Islamic obligation of seeking knowledge, which applies equally to both genders, in accordance with Islamic teachings.

The dialogue included a thorough refutation of all misconceptions surrounding women's education, whether these were complete or partial. Participants emphasized that their religious declaration is intended for all individuals, institutions, and both public and private entities across the Islamic world and minority communities, adhering to the appropriate Islamic methodology for such declarations.

The scholars’ statements praised the comprehensive principles related to the legitimate empowerment of women in general, and their education in particular, as outlined in the Charter of Makkah and the Charter of Building Bridges between Islamic Schools of Thought and Sects.

Both international conferences, which issued these charters, were supported by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz.
