Chairman of UAE Fatwa Council Says Life Is a Gift from God That Should Not Be Violated<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Chairman of the UAE Fatwa Council Sheikh Abdullah bin Bayyah met on Monday, October 29th the head of the Catholic Church, Pope Francis.<\/p>\n

The meeting took place in the Vatican as part of signing the \u201cAbrahamic Family faiths\u2019 stance on ending life causes\u201d document, which represents the three Abrahamic religions and seeks to stress human dignity and how it should not be violated by medical intervention or any other justification.<\/p>\n

During his speech<\/a>, Sheikh Abdullah bin Bayyah asserted that the meeting took place to cooperate in \u201cdoing good.\u201d He added that protecting the human soul is one of the key goals of Islamic Sharia and a common value of the three religions.<\/p>\n

Sheikh Abdullah bin Bayyah said that the Abrahamic religions should remind others of the importance of \u201clife,\u201d which has been violated by several sinners, either by resorting to abortion before giving birth or by adopting terrorism and war.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur meeting today represents a new step in the common religious action, as it is the first time the three religions gather to consolidate their agreement on the values and basics and shift them into a more practical approach,\u201d said Sheikh Abdullah bin Bayyah.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe all feel the need to fulfil our roles, given our positions and influences, to restore humanity\u2019s ethical conscience that revive values of mercy, relief, cooperation, and compassion,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Islam asserts that God is the Creator who gave life and dignity to the human being, Sheikh Abdullah bin Bayyah pointed out, stressing that the latter has no right to take that from either him\/herself or others. He added that the UAE always seeks to uphold the common values of the Abrahamic religions and all the humanitarian values that aim to realise good and happy coexistence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
