The pavilion of the Muslim Council of Elders at the New Delhi World Book Fair witnessed significant interest from exhibition visitors, including students, researchers, specialists, and various segments of the Indian society who were drawn to the diverse publications offered by the pavilion, addressing prominent intellectual issues, including books on Islamic culture, jurisprudence, and the noble Hadith. Additionally, there were works on the interpretation of the Quran and a series of books on the Imam and Islamic heritage.
A large number of visitors to the pavilion at the New Delhi World Book Fair praised the efforts of the Muslim Council of Elders in promoting the values of tolerance and peaceful coexistence among different cultures and peoples. They commended the council's pioneering initiatives in this field, notably the Document on Human Fraternity which was co-signed by His Eminence Dr. Ahmed Al-Tayeb, the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, and His Holiness Pope Francis of the Catholic Church, in Abu Dhabi in 2019. The document reflects the commitment of religions to the values of dialogue, cooperation, and building a more peaceful and stable global society.
This is the second consecutive participation by the Muslim Council of Elders at the New Delhi World Book Fair, one of the largest book fairs in the region which is particularly known for its large turnouts. The pavilion features over 220 publications in 5 languages, addressing various issues and aiming to correct misconceptions while rejecting extremist rhetoric and hatred. The Council's pavilion (H05) is located in Hall 4 at Pragati Maidan in New Delhi.
