abu dhabi — Royals, religious leaders, heads of states and citizens of all faiths from around the world will be coming together today to pray for “the good of all humanity” and “an end to the Covid-19 pandemic”.
A global movement initiated by the Higher Committee for Human Fraternity (HCHF), ‘Prayer for Humanity’ will be a day of fasting, works of charity, prayers and supplications — and set to be the “largest gathering of humanity” for one goal.
Anyone and everyone can be part of it in their own way. Whether you’re alone in your room or with your family at a special worship space at home, offer a prayer and join the world in appealing for an end to the health crisis.
Those joining the day of prayer are also invited to share photos, videos and posts of solidarity and use the hashtag #PrayForHumanity.
Led by Sheikh Dr Ahmed El Tayyeb, Grand Imam of Al Azhar, and Pope Francis, Head of the Catholic Church, several state presidents, prime ministers, along with political figures, media personalities, social influencers and prestigious educational institutions have supported the call.
Judge Mohamed Abdelsalam, secretary-general of the HCHF, has also extended the committee’s appreciation and gratitude to His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, for his continued efforts to bring the global community together.
Dr Sultan Al Remeithi, secretary-general of the Muslim Council of Elders and member of the HCHF, said the movement has somehow filled the need for a “silver lining” during the coronavirus pandemic. “The Prayer for Humanity has sparked hope,” he said, adding that the call has united hearts for the common good.
