The Muslim Council of Elders' stand at the Arabic Book Fair in Istanbul has hosted a seminar and book review of 'Love in the Holy Quran' by Muslim Council of Elders member His Royal Highness Prince Ghazi bin Mohammed Al Hashemi of Jordan with participation from Dr. Samir Boudinar, the Executive Director of Al-Hokama Center for Peace and Research.

During the seminar, Boudinar noted the importance of the ‘Love in the Holy Quran’ due its unique philosophic viewpoint on Quranic teachings especially with regards to love, which is part of the wider Islamic understanding of mercy. Boudinar also discussed some of the book's many chapters that explore a lot more than the love of God and love of neighbor in Islam, but details surrounding familial love, friendship, the stages of falling in love, extramarital love, beauty, taste, and many more related issues.

This is the Muslim Council of Elders’ first participation at the 7th Arabic Book Fair in Istanbul, which comes as part of His Eminence the Gran Imam’s vision of promoting dialogue and spreading tolerance and peace around the world. The event will be held from 1 to 9 October, at the Istanbul Expo Center (İFM), with the Council’s stand (B10) located in Hall 3.
