Sheikh Al-Qaradaghi opened the session with foundational remarks, emphasizing:
“Scholars bear the great responsibility of conveying Islam\u2019s message and calling people towards goodness. Our role in these challenging times is to be a voice for the oppressed everywhere, especially in Gaza and Palestine.”<\/em><\/p>\n

He quoted from the Qur\u2019an:
“And who is better in speech than one who invites to Allah and does righteousness and says, ‘Indeed, I am of the Muslims'”<\/em> (Surah Fussilat: 33).<\/p>\n

He also stressed the importance of embodying noble character, responding to harm with goodness, and practicing patience and justice, as these are among the highest virtues.<\/p>\n
