The Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs held its 29th regular session of the fifth term today, Tuesday, chaired by Shaikh Abdulrahman bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Khalifa, the Council's Chairman. At the start of the meeting, the Council praised the unwavering royal support for mosques and Islamic endowments across Bahrain.

The Council also appreciated the government, led by His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, for its continued efforts in this regard.

The Council reviewed updates on its plans to enhance mosque services, encourage charitable endowments (waqf), and support ongoing mosque construction projects. Members reiterated that endowments are among the most rewarding charitable acts, benefiting society through continuous good deeds and social solidarity. On regional developments, the Council strongly condemned Israel's ongoing violations against holy sites and international laws, and its policies that endanger security and peace. It denounced the starvation tactics targeting the people of Gaza, which have claimed the lives of many innocent civilians, including the elderly, women, and children.

It also welcomed the efforts of Saudi Arabia to secure international recognition for an independent Palestinian state, affirming that the Palestinian cause remains central to the hearts of all Muslims. In addition, the Council reviewed the conclusion of the sixth session of the 'Tafsir Councils' program, led by Dr. Khalid bin Saad Al-Mutrafi, former professor of Quranic studies at Qassim University.

Dr. Bassam Ismail Al-BenMohammed, a Shura Council member and representative of Bahrain's parliamentary delegation, said that under the leadership of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and the guidance of His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, Bahrain has built a comprehensive national framework to support innovation in governance.

Speaking at a panel discussion titled 'Innovation for a Peaceful Future and New Solutions for a Turbulent World,' Dr. Al-BenMohammed highlighted Bahrain's achievements in developing legislation that supports peaceful innovation and the knowledge economy. These include landmark laws on personal data protection, cybercrime, electronic transactions, entrepreneurship, and intellectual property—reflecting the Kingdom's clear political will to use innovation as a tool for stability and long-term peace. 'Innovation for peace is not a luxury or just a slogan,' he said. 'It is a conscious political act, reflected in forward-looking legislation, effective oversight, and fair partnerships that restore people's confidence in peaceful change. Every law passed with foresight and every transparent decision is an innovation that serves human stability.' Bahrain's delegation to the conference also included Abdulnabi Salman Ahmed, First Deputy Speaker of the Council of Representatives. The event, organized by the Inter-Parliamentary Union in cooperation with the United Nations, carried the theme 'A World in Turmoil: Parliamentary Cooperation and Multilateralism for Peace and Justice for All.'
