In Morocco, the local scientific council of Smara organized three scientific symposia to commemorate the 15th century since the birth of the Prophet Muhammad, as part of the first anniversary celebrations of the Unity Festival in the region. The events, held in collaboration with the regional delegation for Islamic affairs, took place at the corners of Sheikh Sidi Ahmed Al-Rakibi, Sheikh Maa Al-Ayun, and Sidi Ahmed Al-Arousi. Notable attendees included regional governor Ibrahim Boutomilat, tribal sheikhs, and civil and military figures.
Mohamed Salem Babouzid, head of the local scientific council, emphasized the significance of hosting these symposia in the mentioned corners, highlighting the importance of the Prophet's biography in the religious reference of the Kingdom. He also noted the interest shown by the kings of the Alaouite state and the care given to preserving religious identity and reinforcing Islamic values.
The symposia focused on three main themes: the attention given by the kings of the Alaouite state to the Prophet's biography, the role of the biography in guiding and building individuals and society, and the ethical values embodied by the Prophet's biography. Participants discussed the scientific and spiritual dimensions of the royal message, the impact of the Prophet's teachings on behavior and personality development, and the Prophet's method in purifying the soul and educating individuals. The symposia concluded with a ceremony honoring several participating scholars and professors for their scientific contributions and enriching the discussion.
These initiatives aim to value the scientific and spiritual role of the corners in the Moroccan desert, highlighting their historical contributions to memorizing the Quran, spreading religious knowledge, and reinforcing Islamic values.
CONTEXT: These events underscore Morocco's commitment to preserving and promoting Islamic values and knowledge, as well as fostering a sense of unity and cultural heritage within the country.
