We attach great hope to the scholars of our Nation. It is they who will enlighten our youth - the generation that adorns our present age and will create and become our future. It is our scholars who will keep our youth from sliding down the paths of ignorance, corruption, close-mindedness and subordination, into the abyss of extremism. And it is our scholars who will hold a beacon to a different path - a path of tolerance, moderation, and goodness; guiding young people to the way of Islam and instituting its great values in their young hearts.
Are these helpful?Hurkyl said:Anyone know more about this message, or the conference I mentioned? I had no luck digging up more with a brief search.
The Amman Message is a declaration issued in 2004 by King Abdullah II of Jordan that outlines the core principles of Islam and promotes unity and tolerance among Muslims.
The three points of the Amman Message are: reaffirming the validity of all eight schools of Islamic jurisprudence, recognizing the diversity and tolerance within Islam, and rejecting any form of extremism or violence.
The Amman Message has had a significant impact in promoting unity and tolerance among Muslims, as well as countering extremist ideologies. It has been endorsed by over 500 Muslim scholars and leaders from around the world and has been used as a basis for interfaith dialogue and cooperation.
The Amman Message promotes peace and understanding by emphasizing the principles of tolerance, diversity, and unity within Islam. It also rejects any form of extremism or violence, promoting a more peaceful and inclusive interpretation of the religion.
Individuals can learn more about the Amman Message by reading the full declaration on its official website, attending lectures or events hosted by Muslim organizations, and engaging in interfaith dialogue and discussions about the message and its impact.
