Mehdi Rezazadeh Joudi in an article elaborated on the objectives of establishing the Quranic parliament, including the institutionalization of Quranic diplomacy as an effective way to confront global challenges.

Hojat-ol-Islam Mohammad Mehdi Imanipour, the head of the Islamic Culture and Relations Organization (ICRO), proposed the establishment of a Quranic parliament of the Muslim world during an address to the 20th International Islamic Forum in Moscow, Russia, in September 2024.

Here is the article:

At a time when the Islamic Ummah is facing identity, religious and geopolitical crises, a return to common foundations is an undeniable necessity. The Quran, as the definitive document and common core of Muslim faith, has an undeniable capacity to play a leadership role on the path of Islamic unity. In this regard, the formation of the Quranic parliament of the Islamic world can be seen as an effective strategy to overcome crises and achieve the goal of a united Ummah.

This initiative, at a time when the Muslim world is suffering from deep social divisions, can serve as a beacon for solidarity and cooperation among Muslim countries. Given the vast cultural and religious diversity among Muslims, the Quran can be a unifying factor that all Muslims around the world believe in.

In this regard, the establishment of a transnational institution called the Quranic parliament of the Islamic World can create new opportunities for coordination in different international arenas and take effective steps towards strengthening communication and solving common problems.

This parliament will be an international institution that will bring together representatives of the followers of different Islamic religions based on the teachings of the Quran.

The goal of this institution will not be a conflict over religious differences, but rather a path of progress, social justice, Islamic brotherhood and confronting the emerging challenges of the Islamic world. The establishment of such a council could provide the necessary opportunities for constructive dialogue between different Islamic countries and pave the way for greater cooperation on various issues such as education, development, culture and politics.

The most important missions of this Quranic parliament would be explaining the Quranic values in the fields of politics, culture and society, drafting unity statements to face the crises of the Islamic world, supporting the rights of oppressed Muslim nations and countering global Islamophobic and divisive projects.

This initiative is an explicit response to the Divine command “and hold fast to the rope of Allah all together and without division.”

Another of the objectives of the Quranic parliament is to promote and institutionalize Quranic diplomacy as an effective method in dealing with global challenges.

Quranic diplomacy can play an important role in reducing political, social and economic tensions and crises in Islamic countries. Also, it will facilitate the holding of specialized sessions, the drafting of joint statements, the implementation of cultural and media projects focused on the Quran and the presentation of solutions to resolve regional crises, including practical actions of the Quranic parliament.

It can play an effective role in improving relations among Muslims and facilitating joint dialogues to solve global problems.

The Quranic parliament of the Islamic world can play a role in re-establishing the authority of Muslims in the global arena, while strengthening the spiritual and intellectual capital of the Islamic Ummah. This authority, which is achieved through shared culture, media and policies, can be effective in strengthening the position of Muslims on the global stage and enhancing their position in various fields, such as economics, science and technology, and global politics.

The realization of this strategic initiative requires the determination of religious elites, the support of scholars and academics, the accompaniment of politicians, and the unity of the hearts of the Islamic Ummah.
