Egypt to Host Islamic Dialogue Conference in April
Slated for April 1 and 2, 2026, this Islamic conference will bring together a group of senior scholars, leaders and officials of various Islamic sects, as well as Muslim intellectuals and cultural figures from around the world.
It will be held with the support of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi and in the presence of Sheikh Ahmed Al-Tayeb, the president of Al-Azhar.
The aim of this conference is to strengthen the foundations of scientific exchange between Islamic schools of thought, correct mutual stereotypes by analyzing their historical and epistemological roots, and create just and equitable realities for all.
Al-Tayeb has said that Egypt’s hosting of this important international conference stems from its commitment to the unity and cohesion of the Islamic Ummah in the face of challenges aimed at creating discord and division between the various components of the Islamic world and its diverse schools of thought.
The conference marks the continuation of a scientific and cultural effort that began with the global call of the Sheikh of Al-Azhar in November 2022.
The conference is being held amid the growing need to strengthen the culture of understanding and cooperation between the components of the Islamic Ummah and promote rational dialogue as a fundamental approach to addressing the causes of division and ambiguity and confronting common challenges.
