We express our most heartfelt gratitude for the intense interest, support, and favor shown toward our scholarly event titled, “13th International Bediuzzaman Symposium: Quranic Solutions to Global Crises.”
Set to take place with a total of 668 paper submissions from six continents, 60 countries, and 448 different international institutions and organizations, along with the participation of hundreds of academics, scholars, madrasah scholars, media members, opinion leaders, and civil society representatives, this symposium is advancing toward becoming an international platform. It seeks solutions to the material and spiritual crises humanity is currently experiencing under the guidance of the Quran and the Sunnah, and discusses the possibilities offered by Islamic civilization on a scholarly ground.
We thank all the institutions, stakeholders, and the public who have contributed to this meaningful scholarly gathering reaching wider audiences and fostering a common ground of thought; we hope that this process will lead to beneficial outcomes on behalf of humanity.
