Sana'a: The Third International Conference on the Great Messenger, organized by the Charitable Association for Teaching the Holy Qur'an, continued its discussions in Sana'a, engaging researchers and academics from Yemen and beyond. The conference, now in its third year, aims to reinforce the Qur'anic Prophetic approach in societal awareness and behavior.
According to Yemen News Agency, the second day of the conference featured five scientific sessions, each examining numerous research papers and studies across cultural, social, political, administrative, economic, educational, and professional domains. These sessions followed presentations on media and military-security topics from the first day.
The event's first session highlighted the contributions of craftsmen to community development, the importance of innovation within Qur'anic culture, and the challenges facing vocational education and digital transformation in Yemen. The second session concentrated on economic issues, presenting studies on usury's social impact, the role of zakat and endowments in sustainable development, and the importance of local industrialization for fostering an independent national economy.
Cultural and social discussions took center stage in the third session, featuring papers on the Great Messenger's status in the Qur'an and the Prophet's biography. Researchers also explored the role of Qur'anic culture in building moral values and strengthening a faith-based identity. Contributions from European and Arab researchers further examined contemporary narratives of the Prophet.
Educational and pedagogical topics were the focus of the fourth session. Participants discussed Qur'anic upbringing in shaping future generations, educational curriculum development, and the importance of scientific research aligned with the Prophetic method. A new study addressed the ethical dimensions of artificial intelligence.
The political and administrative track was the theme of the fifth session, which involved studies on Yemen's support for the Palestinian cause, crisis management through a Qur'anic lens, mechanisms to combat financial and administrative corruption, and perspectives on the decline of the United States and Israel from Qur'anic and Prophetic viewpoints.
Inputs and video contributions from researchers and diplomats across Arab, European, and Asian countries enriched the sessions. These contributions emphasized the conference's role in uniting the Ummah around the Prophet's path and addressing current challenges to reclaim its civilizational and humanitarian role.
