The Charter Of Makkah, endorsed by the muftis and scholars of the Islamic Ummah from various schools of thought and sects, as well as by the member states of the OIC, is considered the second charter of its kind in Islamic history after the Charter of Medina, signed by our Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).
As a pivotal charter in a pressing contemporary context, it reflects the high aspirations of Islamic scholarship in confronting numerous challenges and shortcomings, and in addressing narrow-mindedness, backwardness, and extremism that have emerged in various contexts.
The Charter also embodies the compassion and mercy of Islam for the world. It supports the causes of coexistence and positive integration, and affirms the harmonious reconciliation—within the true message of Islam—of religious and national identities, particularly in diverse societies and in countries with Muslim minorities.
Pakistani media outlets, including “Diplomatic News Agency”, “Islamabad Post”, “News Network Pakistan”, “The World News” and “Infora News”, have published the final Declaration adopted by the participants of the First International Forum of Islamic Civilization held in Tashkent, reports Dunyo IA.
Publications note that the forum participants reaffirmed their commitment to the principles of peace, tolerance, enlightenment, intercultural, and interreligious dialogue and recognized the historical contribution of Uzbekistan to the development of Islamic and global civilization. The declaration expresses gratitude to the President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev, for the initiative put forward at the 72nd session of the UN General Assembly, aimed at studying, preserving, and popularizing the heritage of Islamic civilization.
Particular attention is paid to the creation of the Center of Islamic Civilization in Uzbekistan and the holding of the forum as a practical embodiment of this initiative. In addition, the document outlines a number of international projects, as well as the development of a joint roadmap until 2030 to implement the adopted decisions.
