LONDON, Shaikh Abdullah bin Bayyah, Chairman of the UAE Fatwa Council and Head of the Abu Dhabi Forum for Peace, called on religious leaders and imams in the United Kingdom (UK) to promote the values of mercy in their societies.
In his virtual speech at an event organised by the forum in the UK, Shaikh bin Bayyah said that mercy is a comprehensive term that consists of making people feel comfortable and safe, and involves promoting the values of solidarity and compassion between peoples.
