Ladies and Gentlemen

I am very thankful to you for according me the honour of presiding over this international assembly of Muslim scholars and preachers. May God help us to carry out His will. First, I congratulate the Govt. of Libya, Dr M.A. Sharief, and other members of the Jamiat Ad-Dawah Al-Islamia for affording us the opportunity of having Muslims from all over the world under one roof, discussing matters of Islamic Dawah. The most obvious lesson of this universal gathering of Muslims is that Islamic Dawah is the most certain base of unity among Muslims. Dawah is the only issue about which there is no controversy among different sects of Muslims; moreover, this is the only field of work where we can enjoy the cooperation of the Muslim rulers of our day. This great conference of Islamic Call is an incontrovertible proof of this. Let us avail of this opportunity and open a new page of our history, one of unity, of joint effort, and of result-oriented struggle. May Allah bless you and bestow upon you the wisdom which leads to ultimate success and salvation. Finally, I would request all the learned speakers to observe the time limit (for speech) and in this too, set an example of Islamic discipline. Now I request Shaikh Dr Mostafa Al-Hamshary to carry on the proceedings.
