Royal Hashemite Court, Communication & Information Division
Amman, Jordan - Wednesday, April 5, 2006
Under the patronage of His Majesty King Abdullah II, a large number of senior Iraqi religious and tribal leaders - both Sunnis and Shi'is, Arabs and Kurds - will gather in Amman on April 22, 2006 for The Iraqi Islamic Reconciliation Summit. The meeting, organized in cooperation between Aal al-Bayt Institute for Islamic Thought and the Arab League, will provide a forum for Iraqi leaders to take a crucial step towards stemming the violence in Iraq.
During the summit, King Abdullah will join the delegates in a call for an end to bloodshed and religious tension in Iraq. The summit is expected to culminate in a signed declaration stating that fighting between Shi'is and Sunnis has no legitimate religious basis.
The Iraqi Islamic Reconciliation Summit builds upon The International Islamic Conference on “True Islam and its Role in Modern Society” hosted by King Abdullah in July 2005. In the final conference declaration, over 180 scholars representing 45 countries signed the final declaration condemning the practice known as takfir (calling others “apostates”) that is used by extremists to justify violence.
They were supported by fatwas from 20 of the world's most senior Islamic scholars, including the Shaykh Al-Azhar, Grand Ayatollah Sistani, the Muftis of Egypt, Turkey, Syria, Jordan and Oman and Sheikh Yusif Al-Qardawi.
The declaration also recognized the legitimacy of all eight of the traditional schools of Islamic religious law (madhhabs): the Sunni, Shi'i and Ibadi branches of Islam, as well as traditional Asharite theology, Islamic mysticism (Sufism) and moderate Salafi thought.
This historical Islamic consensus was adopted by the entire Islamic world at the Organization of the Islamic Conference summit at Mecca in December 2005. This agreement on religious principles will form the doctrinal basis for the Iraqi Islamic Reconciliation Summit's final declaration.
