The seminar examined the intellectual and ideological challenges facing the Islamic Ummah in the context of intensifying attacks against the Quran and religious symbols.

Allama Shams al-Din Sharaf al-Din, the Grand Mufti of Yemen, stated in his speech at the seminar that the Islamic Ummah must strengthen the call to God and establish faith in hearts.

He added that the repeated attacks on the Quran and the Holy Prophet (PBUH) are carried out along the historical path of distortion and hostility that the prophets and messengers of God have faced.

The Grand Mufti of Yemen emphasized the unity of the ranks and the elimination of fanaticism and sectarianism in order to confront the conspiracies of the enemies.

Hizam al-Assad, a member of the Ansarullah Political Council, also addressed the event, saying what is happening in Gaza reflects the nature of the Zionist-Western project that has targeted the Ummah and its sanctities.

Arif al-Hajri, another speaker at the seminar, emphasized the responsibility of scholars and preachers in defending the Holy Quran and called for an economic boycott of goods from countries that insult Islam.

The seminar concluded by emphasizing the importance of maintaining unity in religious discourse, activating the role of scholars in raising social awareness, and confronting the soft war that has targeted the identity of the Islamic Ummah and the sanctities of Muslims.
