Naif warns against a divided Ummah
Saudi Gazette report
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 22 - 09 - 2008

Muslims should guard against misinterpretation of the Glorious Qur'an and the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), Prince Naif Bin Abdul Aziz, Interior Minister, said here on Saturday.
Prince Naif, who is also Chairman of the Supreme Commission of Prince Naif Bin Abdul Aziz Al-Saud international award for Prophet's Sunnah and Contemporary Islamic Studies, was patronizing here the closing ceremony of handing over the award in its 3rd session held by the general secretariat of the award.
Sunnah is the second source of legislation after the Holy Qur'an and there should be no attempt to misinterpret it, he said and warned that any attempt to manipulate them would result in disunity among the Muslim ranks.
The winners of awards this year include Dr. Abdul Razzaq Bin Ismail Hermas and Dr. Yasser Ahmed Al-Sayyid Noor in the Prophet's Sunnah branch for their research on the sources of the Prophet's Seerah between narrators and historians.
The prize for the contemporary Islamic studies section went to Dr. Muhammad Hasanein Hasan Hasanein.
The prize for “religious edicts (fatwa), their importance, controls and effects” was shared by Dr. Muhammad Yusri Ibrahim and Sheikh Abdul Rahman Bin Muhammad Bin Abdullah Al-Dakheel.
In a statement following the ceremony, Prince Naif said he felt happy at meeting a number of Ulema (Islamic scholars) and thinkers and people concerned with Islamic affairs, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) said.
Prince Naif pointed at the weakness and backwardness of Muslims in various domains, and warned against the dangerous phenomena like terrorism, extremism, immorality and bad behavior.
He said all these have resulted because the Muslims have come to ignore the proper Islamic creed included in the Holy Qur'an and Prophet's Sunnah.
Prince Naif said non-Muslims could be excused for failure to understand Islam and the sources of the Islamic legislation, but the sons of the Muslims will never be excused if they fail to understand their religion.
Prince Naif congratulated the winners of the awards this year and urged them to unwaveringly work in the service of Islam.
Later, Prince Naif watched a documentary film on the Endowment.
The Endowment is designed like a 14-story hotel on an area of more than 10,000 square meters.
Its hotel includes shopping centers, restaurant and other utilities. __
