The Muslim Council of Elders, under the chairmanship of His Eminence Professor Dr. Ahmed Al‑Tayeb, the Grand Imam of Al‑Azhar, extends its heartfelt congratulations to the Arab and Islamic nations on the occasion of the Night of Mid‑Sha’ban, praying that Almighty Allah grants this blessed occasion to the Arab and Islamic nations—and to all humanity—with goodness, blessings, and peace.

The Muslim Council of Elders affirms that the Night of Mid‑Sha’ban is a significant spiritual milestone in the collective consciousness of the Islamic Ummah and a renewed opportunity for self‑reflection, the revival of mercy and forgiveness, and the upholding of human dignity.

The Council adds that this blessed night reminds Muslims of the importance of purifying the heart, strengthening the spirit of moral responsibility, and drawing people closer together—especially in a world of mounting challenges and an urgent need to elevate the values of wisdom, justice, and peaceful coexistence.

The Muslim Council of Elders calls on all to seize this occasion to spread a culture of love, reject hatred and intolerance, reinforce the values of human fraternity, and translate faith‑inspired principles into practical action that serves communities, enhances stability, and builds peace.
