His Eminence the Grand Imam chairs the meeting of the Muslim Council of Elders (MCE)
The Grand Imam of Al-Azhar Ash-Sharif, Prof. Ahmad At-Tayyeb, left Cairo for Abu Dhabi, on an Emirati private jet, to preside over the third meeting of the Council of Muslim Elders, which is an independent global Islamic body that aims to promote peace in the Arab and Muslim world. The Council also works to curb the expansion of violence and to sustain the sanctity of human life, honor and property. It supports reconciliations between conflicting parties to mitigate division and discord that have prevailed in many societies of the Muslim world and sapped the power of the Muslim nation.
