During our visit to Bahrain on January 21-23, fruitful and beneficial discussions took place between IIKV and our counterparts.
We had the opportunity to closely observe Bahrain's Grand Fatih Mosque and Discover Islam activities, which attract many tourists from around the world. During our meetings with its founder Sheikh Ishak, manager Sheikh Ahmed, and their team, we discussed "new methods of Islamic outreach" to non-Muslims.
They expressed that the methodology of Risale-i Nur is very suitable for the positive (subtle) and wise approach they are also implementing.
During our two-day visit to Bahrain, we met with numerous scholars, academic councils, and organizations.
During our visit to the Sultanate of Oman from January 23rd to 25th, we closely examined the Islamic outreach activities at the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, which attracts thousands of people from around the world.
We visited various organizations including Omani authorities, the Presidency of Religious Affairs, and various civil society organizations.
Just like in Bahrain, during all our meetings in Oman, by a coincidence, after the events in Gaza, we decided to act together towards conveying "the true Islam and the righteousness worthy of Islam" to the world, along with the increasing interest in Islam in the non-Muslim world.
We decided to organize joint symposiums, workshops, and academic meetings in various centers around the world, as well as in Istanbul.
During our visits to both countries, we also visited the Ambassadors of the Republic of Turkey in their offices. We briefed them on our activities.
