Mohamed Mandour In the context of the OIC General Secretariat's cooperation and coordination with cultural institutions and bodies in Member States, and as part of its commitment to promoting and developing cultural content, the General Secretariat, in cooperation with the Gulf Research Center in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, held a virtual cultural symposium on the occasion of the Hajj season, titled "Acculturation in Hajj". This symposium aims to address the phenomenon of the Hajj ritual as one of the most prominent living examples of acculturation in human and Islamic history, where millions of Muslims from different continents, ethnicities, and sects gather in one place and at one time, each carrying their own language, heritage, and cultural experience. This exceptional gathering creates dialogue and spiritual relationships, and weaves cognitive and human bonds, the effects of which are evident in language, dress, customs, traditions, and even in schools of jurisprudence and scholarly styles that are active during the Hajj season. 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 Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized 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
