Makkah Conference: Scholars Select Saudi Center for Islamic Intellect Study, Emphasizing Unity and Moderation
Scholars at a recent conference in Makkah, Saudi Arabia, selected the Saudi Defense Ministry's Center for Safeguarding Intellect to compile a study on "The Islamic Intellectual Community" for an upcoming encyclopedia.
The center was chosen due to its expertise in intellectual matters and alignment with the conference's goal of bridging Islamic sects.
Three research bodies have been assigned to contribute to future conferences by researching the origins and branches of specific Islamic sects.
The Center for Safeguarding Intellect emphasizes the importance of comprehensive, brief, broad, and authentic Islamic discourse.
The text describes an Islamic approach that promotes moderation, diversity, and unity, avoiding exclusionism and factionalism within the Muslim community.
Scholars support this approach, emphasizing the importance of avoiding labels that hinder cooperation and understanding, particularly in regards to issues like extremism.
During a conference in Makkah, participants acknowledged the distinctiveness of various Islamic schools of thought but emphasized the need for a unified stance on major issues, such as combating sectarianism and intellectual extremism.
They noted that organizations like the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and the Muslim World League were established to help establish an "Islamic intellectual consensus."
