Grand Mufti: Saudi Vision 2030 Drives Ongoing Successes, Achievements for All
The Saudi Senior Scholars Council, chaired by Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdulaziz bin Abdullah Al Al-Sheikh, held its 96th session at the General Presidency of Islamic Research and Ifta headquarters in Riyadh on Sunday, with the attendance of council members and its secretary general.
In his opening speech, Al Al-Sheikh highlighted the support of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, for the Senior Scholars Council. The support has enabled the council to study all matters referred to it and issue appropriate Sharia rulings.
Al Al-Sheikh stated: 'We praise Allah Almighty for the numerous blessings He has bestowed upon this blessed country. This nation was established based on the Holy Quran and the Sunnah of Prophet Mohammed. Unity was achieved and all regions of the Kingdom have enjoyed security, stability, and prosperity since the era of the late King Abdulaziz bin Abdulrahman Al Saud.'
'This has been further solidified under the leadership of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and the Crown Prince,' he added.
'In this regard, we recognize and commend the many blessings enjoyed by Saudi citizens and residents, including security, stability, progress, and development. These are—after the grace of Allah—a blessed result of the wise leadership based on the Kingdom's firm and enduring constitution, which is the source of its pride, strength, and leadership: the Holy Quran and the Sunnah of Prophet Mohammed,' he went on to say.
'This foundation ensures justice under Sharia for all, upholds the service of Islam and Muslims, and grants the honor of serving the Two Holy Mosques and caring for their visitors. This noble path has also established the Kingdom's firm and just positions, particularly its unwavering and honorable stance—of which we are all proud—on the Palestinian cause, reaffirming the Palestinian people's right to live in their independent state with East Jerusalem as its capital,' he continued.
The Grand Mufti stated: 'We also praise the continued successes and achievements of the Saudi Vision 2030, which bring prosperity and benefit to all, as well as the Kingdom's generous humanitarian contributions to those in need around the world.'
He highlighted the significant efforts of the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center, whose international initiatives are widely recognized. 'We also praise the high standard that the Kingdom has achieved in transparency, integrity, and anti-corruption— issues that Islamic teachings have strongly warned against due to their harmful consequences,' Al Al-Sheikh said.
