"Today, thanks to the Mohammed VI Foundation of African Ulema, we have a chain of scholars who work together to enrich the African Islamic library with quality works," Kébé told MAP on the occasion of the celebration of the Throne Day, stressing that the Foundation represents "a strong link in this chain connecting African countries."
The role of this structure is not limited to strengthening inter-African ties, since it has enriched them by preserving and adjusting the common heritage to the new realities and the needs of Muslim and non-Muslim populations.
The Mohammed VI Foundation of African Ulema, a unifying structure, testifies to the singularity of the Moroccan religious model which, under the leadership of HM King Mohammed VI, Commander of the Faithful, "offers a vision of Islam that reassures and ensures life and security in balance and diversity," said Kébé, a professor at Sheikh-Anta-Diop University in Dakar.
In this regard, he stressed that most of the Sufi brotherhoods in Senegal and West Africa have a Moroccan reference, a fact that confirms the positioning of the Kingdom as a "land of spirituality and mystical love for the Messenger of Allah and the saints of Islam," highlighting the High solicitude with which the Sovereign surrounds the brotherhoods in Senegal and Africa.
"If today the brotherhoods offer a lever for promoting religious relations and, more generally, human relations, it is also because the Kingdom has protected and preserved this spiritual heritage on its soil," Kébé said.
