ARAB NEWS: MADINAH: Interior Minister Prince Naif attributed the backwardness, moral decay and extremism among Muslims to their nonadherence to true Islamic principles.
Addressing a prize-distribution function held to honor the winners of Prince Naif International Prize for Sunnah and Contemporary Islamic Studies, here on Saturday night, Prince Naif, said: “The aim of honoring the best researchers in Sunnah and contemporary Islamic studies is to encourage research in the studies of Sunnah, the second source of Islamic law, and highlight its values such as tolerance and humanitarian character.”
In a statement issued after the function, Prince Naif, who is also chairman of the Higher Commission for Prince Naif International Prize for Sunnah and Contemporary Islamic Studies, warned scholars against making incorrect interpretations of the verses of the Holy Qur’an and the Sunnah, which are the sources of Islamic law.
The Muslims of the early years could lead the world because they were sincere in their faith and keen to follow the true religion, the prince said. He congratulated the winners of the prizes and urged them to work unwaveringly for the service of Islam.
