The Mufti of the Republic Sheikh Abdel Latif Darian stressed Friday that “the scholars have a major role in raising awareness among the people against the ideologies and actions that may harm the reputation of Islam.”
Sheikh Darian said at the end of his visit to Turkey, that “the phenomenon of killing, slaughter and displacement currently witnessed by the region could ignite sectarian strife,” urging the Lebanese people to practice utmost awareness and to unite and reach common grounds.
During his visit to Turkey, the mufti signed a memorandum of understanding and cooperation with Turkey’s head of religious affairs Mehmet Gormez, at the hall of al-Fatih Mosque in Istanbul.
