Dr. Moustafa Elfeki, Director of the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, took part in “Al-Azhar International Conference on the Renewal of Islamic Thought”, which was organized by Al-Azhar on 27 and 28 January 2020, under the auspices of President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi. The Conference witnessed the participation of several religious figures from 46 Islamic countries.
Dr. Elfeki said in his speech that the Conference is an international gathering that responds to those who accuse Al-Azhar of resisting the attempts of renewing the Islamic thought. He also stressed the importance of conferences held by Al-Azhar in highlighting the real dangers that should be confronted and addressed.
Moreover, he noted that the tours of the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, Sheikh Ahmed El-Tayyeb, in different countries around the world, significantly helped to correct misconceptions about Islam.
