Saudi Islamic Ministry to hold exhibition in Morocco

RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Dawah and Guidance, in cooperation with the Moroccan Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs, will hold the Jusoor (Bridges) Exhibition in Casablanca from Dec. 13-31.

The event’s pavilions will highlight the strong relations between Saudi Arabia and Morocco, and the two countries’ care for Muslims around the world.

Rare Islamic manuscripts and literature will also be on display, as well as photos and documentaries about Makkah and Madinah, and images of historic mosques.

Visitors will be able to virtually visit the Grand Mosque in Makkah using VR technology.

The exhibition will open to visitors daily from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Last month, the Saudi ministry concluded the Jusoor Exhibition at Skanderbeg Square in Tirana, Albania. The event ran for 13 days and attracted more than 70,000 visitors.

About 10,000 copies of the Holy Qur’an were distributed to visitors, along with Albanian and Macedonian language translations.

Attendees were provided with information about the Kingdom’s initiatives in serving the Two Holy Mosques, as well as its efforts in facilitating Hajj and Umrah for pilgrims.

Visitors learned about the Kingdom’s commitment to serving Islam and Muslims, and caring for the Mus’haf through the King Fahd Glorious Qur’an Printing Complex.

The exhibition showcased the ministry’s mobile apps, such as Correct Quotation and Rushd. Visitors explored informative corners that displayed old manuscripts, Saudi coffee, Arabic calligraphy and traditional Saudi clothing.

Yemeni government says it appreciates Saudi leadership of coalition supporting legitimacy

  • Government in Yemen called on the STC to immediately and unconditionally withdraw from the governorates of Hadramaut and Al-Mahra

RIYADH: Yemen’s government appreciates the historical and steadfast positions of Saudi Arabia and its pivotal role in supporting Yemen’s security and stability, a statement issued by the country said on Tuesday.

Yemen also appreciates the Kingdom’s constant concern for protecting civilians, reducing escalation, and preventing the eastern provinces of the country from sliding into conflicts that serve hostile agendas.

The internationally recognized government in Yemen called on the Southern Transitional Council to immediately and unconditionally withdraw from the governorates of Hadramaut and Al-Mahra, hand over military sites and camps to the Homeland Shield Forces and local authorities in the governorates, and refrain from any military or escalatory actions that threaten local security and undermine de-escalation efforts.

The statement affirmed the government’s full welcome and absolute support for the decisions taken by the President of the Presidential Leadership Council and Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces Rashad Al-Alimi, including the declaration of a state of emergency and measures to protect local security, preserve the unity and sovereignty of the state, and maintain its legal status, in light of the dangerous developments taking place in the eastern governorates of Yemen.

The government said that a state of emergency was declared “to confront the armed rebellion, protect civil peace, and prevent sliding into chaos and undermining state institutions.”
