SIAC efforts to promote Islamic thoughts lauded

His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa received Supreme Islamic Affairs Council (SIAC) Chairman Shaikh Abdulrahman bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Khalifa and council members at Al Safriya Palace yesterday.

His Majesty commended the crucial role of the council since its inception more than twenty years ago in the era of late HH Shaikh Isa bin Salman Al Khalifa.

HM the King hailed the dedicated efforts exerted by the council to promote Islamic thought, clarify tolerant Islamic precepts and translate Bahrain’s commitment to all that unites Muslims, preserves their interest and builds bridges between religions, doctrines and cultures, while respecting their differences.

HM the King paid tribute to late SIAC Chairman His Highness Shaikh Abdulla bin Khalid Al Khalifa, who played a role in establishing the council, promoting its mission and bolstering its pioneering role in highlighting the Islamic values of tolerance and moderation.
