The Minister of Islamic Affairs, Endowments, Call and Guidance, Sheikh Saleh bin Abdul Aziz Al Al-Sheikh affirmed the need for adopting a new methodology for official and non-official bodies engaged in ‘Dawa’ (propagation) work to protect Islam.

Addressing members of the Trustees Council of the World Assembly of the Muslim Youth (WAMY), on Tuesday evening, Al Al-Sheikh said that Islam had been harmed by some of its own followers. “Terrorism and bombings have damaged the call to Islam, and we need to unite in solidarity to rectify this,” he said.
