Al-Azhar Grand Imam Receives Gambian Foreign Minister to Discuss Expanding Educational, Religious Cooperation
Mohamed Mandour Dr. Ahmad At-Tayyeb, the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, received Mamadou Tangara, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Gambia, at Al-Azhar headquarters to discuss ways of boosting Al-Azhar's religious and educational support for Gambian students and communities. During the meeting, the Grand Imam reaffirmed the deep-rooted relations between Al-Azhar and Gambia and expressed Al-Azhar's readiness to increase scholarships for Gambian students to study at Al-Azhar in alignment with the country's societal needs. He also pledged to train Gambian imams at Al-Azhar's International Academy for Training Imams and Preachers to equip them with the skills necessary to address contemporary issues, including Islam's stance on coexistence, women's rights, and confronting extremist distortions of Islamic teachings. The Grand Imam emphasized that 'the Palestinian people are enduring the worst genocide and ethnic cleansing for nearly two years, abandoned to face their fate amid an unprecedented international failure and a deeply weakened global response.' He added, 'The Zionist entity has committed horrific massacres in modern history, killing innocent children, women, the elderly, and youth, and destroying hospitals, mosques, churches, and schools. This entity has shown itself to be utterly against humanity.' For his part, Minister Tangara expressed his pleasure in meeting the Grand Imam and commended Al-Azhar's efforts in promoting the true image of Islam and supporting Gambian students. He remarked, 'We appreciate your generous support to our students at Al-Azhar and to our country through the Al-Azhar Arabic Language Center in Gambia, from which 60 students have already graduated.' He further noted that many Gambians aspire to study at Al-Azhar due to its esteemed position among the Gambian people. He praised the wisdom of the Grand Imam and his global leadership in promoting Islam's moderate principles, adding, 'You may consider me Al-Azhar's ambassador in Gambia and within the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, which we currently chair. We are grateful for your support and the proposal to train Gambian imams at Al-Azhar, and I will personally follow up on this initiative upon returning to my country.' read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan
