Doha: The Department of Islamic Research and Studies at the Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs is preparing to launch the third season of the series of the cultural project: 'Ummah Symposia Series: collective duties (Fard Kifayah) ... path to reform.' HE Director of the Department of Research and Islamic Studies Sheikh Dr. Ahmed bin Mohammed bin Ghanem Al-Thani said that the third cultural season, which will begin its first seminars in October, includes four important seminars, each of which discusses the causes of the perceived imbalance in a field and inspects the prospects for possible reform through "collective duties" and how to employ them to achieve cognitive, social, economic, and advocacy reforms. He pointed out that the "Ummah Symposia Series" is a cultural project and a quarterly scientific and intellectual symposium, which the Department of Islamic Research and Studies at the Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs is keen to organize to discuss a number of the most pressing issues and problems at the level of society and the nation, with the participation of an elite group of people of thought, opinion, and knowledge. The Director of the Department of Research and Islamic Studies noted that the second cultural season of the "Ummah Symposia Series," which was organized under the theme "our values ... the pillar of civilization and the path to advancement," came to express the extent to which the Department of Research and Islamic Studies senses the importance of authentic Islamic values, and the need to spread them among the Muslim community as well as the extent of its conviction that these values will always remain the most important components of the cultural potential that the nation has for advancement and re-advancement. At the end of the activities of its second cultural season of the "Ummah Symposia Series", the ministry's Islamic Research and Studies Department will organize a symposium under the title "confronting contemporary atheism," on July 2. The symposium aims to discuss the phenomenon of contemporary atheism in Western society, attempts to export it to the Muslim community, view it as one of the tools of the modern war on Islam, and research ways to confront it, prevent it, and treat its effects, with the participation of an elite group of researchers, academics and preachers.
