\n“The Journey” Podcast<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

In a unique and exceptional episode of “The
\nJourney” podcast, His Eminence Sheikh Dr. Ali Al-Qaradaghi, President of
\nthe International Union of Muslim Scholars, was hosted by the Arabi21 platform
\nfor an in-depth conversation that went beyond pleasantries and traditional
\npolitical discourse.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Al-Qaradaghi spoke candidly and wholeheartedly,
\naddressing the pressing issues of the Muslim Ummah\u2014foremost among them, the
\naggression on Gaza. He issued a direct and urgent call to Arab and Islamic
\ngovernments to declare jihad immediately, warning of the escalating danger in
\nPalestine and what he described as the “systematic depopulation” of
\nthe Gaza Strip.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Palestine… The Gateway of the Journey and the Compass of Awareness<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

He addressed the Palestinian issue through a Qur\u2019anic
\nlens and deep historical analysis, stressing that what is unfolding is not a
\npassing conflict but rather a battle over existence and identity.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

He also revealed exclusive details about his meeting
\nwith Syrian President Ahmad Al-Sharaa and shared his vision for Syria’s future.
\nThe discussion touched on hidden aspects of the relationship between the former
\nSyrian regime and “Israel”\u2014a relationship that remained shrouded in
\nsecrecy for years.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Renewing Religious Discourse and the Duty of Scholars<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

The episode was not limited to political topics. It
\ndelved into the issue of renewing religious discourse, where Dr. Al-Qaradaghi
\nstrongly criticized scholars of the Ummah who remained silent or complicit at a
\ntime when the walls of principles are collapsing. He emphasized that the
\nresponsibility of the word has now become a heavy trust that can no longer
\nafford neutrality.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Not Just a Story… But a Life of Struggle and Legacy<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

This episode was more than just an interview\u2014it was an
\nintellectual and human journey through the life of a great scholar. From his
\nbeginnings in Iraq, through various stages of religious and intellectual work
\nin Qatar, to eventually leading the International Union of Muslim Scholars,
