His Eminence Prof. Ahmed Al-Tayeb, the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar and the Chairman of the Muslim Council of Elders (MCL), extends his sincere congratulations to His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, and the Bahraini government and people on their election to the Security Council for 2026-2027.
The Grand Imam of Al-Azhar emphasizes that such achievement reflects Bahrain's efforts to promote global peace and spread the values of dialogue, tolerance, coexistence, and harmony. His Eminence expresses his hope that the election of the Kingdom of Bahrain as a non-permanent member of the Security Council will enhance the Arab and Islamic stance on various global issues, particularly the Palestinian cause and the aggression against Gaza, while also amplifying the collective voice of nation in addressing contemporary challenges.
