Spiritual diplomacy refers to efforts to promote peace, understanding, and cooperation between nations or societies through approaches based on religious, moral, and spiritual values. It aims to achieve diplomacy for resolving conflicts, strengthening international relations, and promoting global peace and justice. Spiritual diplomacy typically involves interfaith dialogue, humanitarian aid, and the ability to develop understanding and tolerance between different beliefs, faiths, and cultures that exist within people and societies worldwide.
For instance, the situation in Mali, which has involved a complex network of conflicts and crises for several years, is an example of historical events that began in 2012. The conflict involved unauthorized military groups overthrowing the existing government to seize political power. This led to the emergence of armed groups and rebels in various regions of the country.
The conflict in Mali involves several complex factors that contribute to the tension and violence in the country. These include dissatisfaction with a government dominated by certain ethnic groups, factors such as poverty and economic instability, dissatisfaction with the lack of development and infrastructure in the regions, political turmoil, and the presence of armed and extremist groups, including those like Ansar Dine and Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb. These groups often use violence and terrorism to achieve their political and religious goals, causing more tension and violence in the country.
The honorable Sheikh Moulay Tuhami Ghitawi Alawi Al Hasani, may Allah bless him and shower His mercy upon him, is the Sheikh of Sharif Moulay Mohamed Amin Al Hasani. He is a prominent scholar in North Africa, the Maghreb Al-Arabi, and a descendant of the Prophet Muhammad ï·º, from the lineage of Moulay Ali Sharif of Tafilelt. He is the founder of the highly respected Madrasah Imam Malik and serves as an advisor and member of the Supreme Islamic Council. The contributions of Sheikh Moulay Tuhami to Islam, knowledge, and the entire Ummah, both domestically and internationally, throughout his life are countless. He is also the leader of the Sufi order Moussawiya Al-Kirzazia in Ouagadougou. In 2014, Sheikh Moulay Tuhami was appointed as the Head of the Rabitah Ulama Algeria.
May Allah shower mercy upon Sheikh Moulay Tuhami Gitawi ibn Sidi Muhammad, forgive his sins, place him among the righteous, and grant him the best of rewards.
Returning to the topic of spiritual diplomacy and the complex crisis in Mali, in 2013, Sheikh Moulay Tuhami was one of the prominent figures involved in spiritual diplomacy. He used his wisdom and prudence to promote peace during those tumultuous times.
At that time, Sharif Mohamed Al Hasani was also beside Sheikh Moulay Touhami Ghitawi, and together they contributed and played a crucial role in achieving the mission of maintaining peace to prevent internal conflict and reduce violence in the Mali community.
Thus, it is not surprising that Sharif Mohamed Al Hasani is no stranger to spiritual diplomacy for the sake of maintaining international peace.
The conventional religious education combined with modern education that Sharif Mohamed received from a young age, along with the instillation of morals as advocated by the Prophet ï·º, in line with the strict discipline by his beloved father, Sharif Moulay Hamid Al Hasani, has left behind a noble, honest, and credible heir.
Sharif Moulay Hamid Al Hasani instilled and nurtured values and principles that align with their noble status and aristocratic heritage within his son. Additionally, the gift of an attractive personality from Allah Taala, a captivating style and demeanor, and a calm demeanor in any situation—all shaped by his father, teachers, and mentors—have further strengthened the leadership qualities within him. This has shaped a personality with extraordinary qualities, MashaAllah.
This has directly contributed to the series of achievements we have witnessed recently. It has greatly influenced his success and impact on various segments of society, transcending borders, cultures, languages, values, and religions. This has had a significant impact from multiple angles and elements.
Sharif Moulay Mohamed Al Hasani rightfully deserves to be called the model of modern Islam in the Western world, spreading moderate Islam to all humanity, and embodying the Muhammadan ethics he frequently carries within himself.
Moderate Islam refers to a balance and moderation in practicing Islam within oneself and with fellow human beings. It encompasses an understanding that is neither extreme nor fanatic in interpreting religious teachings, emphasizing the importance of leading a balanced life between worldly and spiritual aspects. In this context, moderate Islam encourages its followers to practice religion with love, tolerance, and respect for others. It also emphasizes the importance of avoiding extremism or radicalism, which can be detrimental to oneself and affect community life as a whole.
Alhamdulillah, Sharif Moulay Mohamed Al Hasani is the ideal example of a millennial generation from the Western world who has successfully brought the concept of Muhammadan Caliphate to the entire Ummah, even crossing over to other parts of the world, including Asia.
