We Are Not Apologizing: Ghowail

TRIPOLI, November 25 (Mercy for Mankind) - Attorney Ibrahiem El-Ghowail stressed that the organizers of the seventh general conference of the World Islamic Call Society have no intention of apologizing to anybody.

According to world-renowned Ghowail, the Muslim Ummah (Nation) was sent to stand witness on people and to bring mercy to all creatures. The ongoing confusion was between Islam and the current status of Muslims, who were forced to resist the assaults they were subjected to.

"A person on the defense is always coming up with reactions, rather than optimum moves.

"Those who follow the conferences organized by the WICS realize that we have projected a concept of mercy and peace from the very first moment the society came to being," said Ghwail who is presenting a paper to the conference entitled "Last Divine Message…Containing Past, Reading Future".

"Ever since the first conference, we have been presenting Islam that came to represent survival, as opposed to annihilation. We have raised the necessity of abundant and just prosperity, to replace poverty.

"We spoke of coexistence, as opposed to subjugation and humiliation. We spoke of a media that propagates truth, as opposed to ignorance."

The seventh general conference of the World Islamic Call Society takes place Friday, November 26, till Monday, November 29, with the participation of about 500 figures from across the Muslim world, representing some 250 Islamic institutions and organizations.

Ghowail went on to say that the society sent out a message of mercy to all people. Muslims were also included, in order to get acquainted with the nature of their religion and elements of their message.

As to mercy and universality, which was the motto that the seventh conference of the society adopted (Mercy for Mankind), Ghowail indicated the Noble Qur'an directs Muslims to heed what went on in the world, even if they thought was taking place far from them.

"The Prophet (PBUH), at one time, studied the geopolitical conditions surrounding him and asked his followers to move to Abyssinia, where there was a just king," Ghowail said.
