Dr Mohammad bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa stands as a towering figure in the contemporary Islamic world, renowned for his steadfast commitment to promoting moderate Islam and fostering interfaith harmony on a global scale.

Dr. Al-Issa’s leadership has been marked by groundbreaking interfaith efforts aimed at fostering understanding and reconciliation among different communities, faiths, and nations. Notable among these initiatives were his historic visit to Auschwitz in January 2020, where he led the most senior Islamic delegation ever to visit the site. This visit, commemorating the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the death camp, symbolized Dr. Al-Issa’s commitment to combatting anti-Semitism and promoting mutual respect. He has been honored by various organizations, including the American Jewish Committee and the Combat Anti-Semitism Movement, for his leadership in combating anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, and hate speech worldwide.

Dr. Al-Issa’s efforts have garnered praise from leaders across religious and political spectrums. Cardinal Timothy Dolan hailed him as “the most eloquent spokesman in the Islamic world for reconciliation and friendship among the religions.” United States Ambassador-at-Large for Religious Freedom Sam Brownback commended Dr. Al-Issa as “a constituent of the future” and applauded his partnership in bringing together Abrahamic faiths to combat hate. Since assuming the role of Secretary-General of the Muslim World League in 2016, Dr. Al-Issa has embarked on a journey to promote dialogue and cooperation globally. He has expanded representation within the MWL to ensure inclusivity of all Muslim communities worldwide. Under his leadership, the MWL has signed numerous cooperation agreements with Jewish institutions, promoting common values and interfaith understanding. One of Dr. Al-Issa’s most significant contributions is the Charter of Makkah, which calls for combatting hate speech, violence, extremism, and terrorism while advancing the principles of moderate Islam and interfaith partnership. Endorsed by over 1,200 Muslim scholars, this charter underscores Dr. Al-Issa’s commitment to fostering dialogue, understanding, and cooperation among diverse religious and cultural groups. Dr. Al-Issa’s tireless efforts have earned him numerous accolades, including the Norwegian Bridge Builder Award, the Prophet’s Hijra Award from Malaysia, and an honorary doctorate from the United Nations’s University of Peace. His leadership in promoting peace, tolerance, and intercultural harmony has been recognized globally, from Russia to Sri Lanka, Senegal to Italy.
