JEDDAH: Muslim World League Secretary-General and Chairman of the Organization of Muslim Scholars Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa opened Al-Rahman Mosque in Auckland, New Zealand, and delivered its first Friday sermon.
Al-Issa also led worshippers in prayer following the mosque’s official inauguration.
His sermon highlighted Islamic teachings on how Muslims should respond to situations that they may encounter while living in culturally diverse societies.
The mosque’s administration said that the sermon would serve as an important source of guidance and would be published and distributed across New Zealand.
Al-Issa is visiting the country following an official invitation and is scheduled to meet government, parliamentary and religious leaders from different faiths.
