Awqaf releases second edition of ‘Message of the Quran'
Doha The Department of Islamic Research and Studies at the Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs (Awqaf) has released the second edition of the book "Message of the Quran," as part of its collective cultural projects series. The ministry stated in its announcement on Saturday that this new edition responds to high demand from readers and intellectuals, following the depletion of the first edition published in 2010 to mark the completion of the Mushaf Qatar. Director of the Department of Islamic Research and Studies Sheikh Dr Ahmed bin Mohammed bin Ghanem Al Thani explained that the book presents a collective intellectual effort from a number of writers and researchers from Arab and Islamic countries. It explores the central role of the Quran in the civilizational advancement of the Ummah, its approach to correcting previous religious perspectives, and its universal message to all humanity. He highlighted that the book emphasizes the Quran's role in promoting reflection and contemplation, encouraging inquiry into cosmic sciences as a pathway to progress, and clarifying the foundations of a righteous civilization and the causes of its decline, all framed within a Quranic vision that integrates faith, moral values, and material development. He affirmed that the release of this edition reflects the Ministry's commitment to enriching the cultural landscape with scholarly references that meet readers' aspirations for a deeper understanding of the Quranic message and its civilizational impact.

'Israel' conducts raid on cemetery, says Gaza's Awqaf Ministry
The Ministry of Religious Endowments (Awqaf) in Gaza has condemned what it described as a "horrific crime" committed by 'Israeli' forces at dawn on Thursday, after they stormed the Turkish Cemetery in the Al-Mawasi area west of Khan Younis, southern Gaza, using tanks and bulldozers. In a statement, the ministry said 'Israeli' forces dug up graves, desecrated the site, and stole the remains of the dead, calling it a barbaric and criminal act that violates all religious, humanitarian, and international norms. The ministry stated that the assault on the cemetery represents a blatant attack on the sanctity of burial grounds and a disregard for human dignity even after death, reflecting what it called a "deep moral and humanitarian void in Israel's actions." The raid reportedly coincided with the demolition of nearby displacement camps, displacing hundreds of Palestinian families who had sought refuge there from the ongoing war. 'This crime only adds to the suffering of civilians in Gaza,' the statement read, noting that Palestinians in the Strip have endured catastrophic humanitarian conditions amid a war that has lasted over 21 months. The ministry further revealed that around 40 of Gaza's 60 cemeteries have been damaged or destroyed during the ongoing 'Israeli' military campaign. The statement concluded by urging international legal and human rights organizations, including the United Nations, to launch an urgent investigation into the incident. It also called on the international community to assume its humanitarian and moral responsibilities, to act immediately to stop repeated violations against the Palestinian people, and to hold 'Israel' accountable for its crimes, against both the living and the dead, and to protect religious and cultural sites in Palestine.
