King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa,
“The external efforts of the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, Chairman of the Muslim Council of Elders, greatly contribute to clarifying the true image of Islam. We are proud of the great role played by Al-Azhar and its officials in promoting the moderate approach in the arena of Islamic thought calling for moderation. Al-Azhar Ash-Sharif will always remain a beacon of moderation and tolerance.
King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa,
