The Grand Muftī of Egypt, Dr. Shawqī ʿAllām, has spoken on the topic of religious differences and diversity, expressing the opinion that diversity among mankind was intentional by God and that there is nothing wrong with it as long as it does not lead to conflict or harm. Dr. ʿAllām, who is also the President of the General Secretariat for Fatwā Authorities Worldwide, addressed the topic during an episode of his daily Ramaḍān show “Every Day a Fatwā”. He explained that Egypt is a unique country in terms of its long history of diversity and tolerance and that Muslims seek to emulate the values of tolerance and good neighborliness as demonstrated by the Prophet Muḥammad during his life.
