A delegation from Qatar Charity (QC), including Hassan Al Nuaimi, general supervisor of Qatar Charity’s office in Bosnia and Herzegovina; and Muhammad Washan, director of the office, visited the office of the Chief Scholar in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Mufti His Eminence Sheikh Dr Hussein Kavazovic.
The Qatar Charity delegation was received by Deputy Head of Scholars Sheikh Dr Anas Levakovic, Social Affairs Officer Ibrahim Malanovic and Coordinator of Relations with the Islamic World at the Presidency of Scholars Dr Wasim Tadvi.
During the visit, several issues related to the prospects for fruitful cooperation between Qatar Charity office and the Presidency of Scholars were discussed on topics and programmes of common interest, including equipping a TV station within the media centre of the Islamic Sheikhdom with the latest equipment and supplies, as well as providing devices and equipment for one of the scientific research institutes.
The media centre provides cultural services aimed at spreading the tolerant teachings of Islam and preserving the civilised Islamic identity of Bosnian society.
Many residents of neighbouring countries who speak the Bosnian language benefit from its services, such as the Muslims of Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia, Kosovo and the Bosnian communities in the diaspora, because the broadcast is also via the Internet.
Deputy Chief Scientist Dr Anas Levakovic expressed his happiness with the visit, which strengthened the bonds of fraternal relations between the peoples of Qatar and Bosnia.
He praised the role of Qatar and its benevolent people in providing a helping hand to the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina over the past years through fruitful and constructive coordination through various institutions, in particular the Qatar Charity office in Bosnia.
The Islamic Library is a historical legacy due to the manuscripts it contains in various sciences and literature in Arabic, Turkish and Persian.
Qatar Charity has contributed earlier to providing modern devices and equipment that contributed to preserving these manuscripts that were subject to damage and loss.
Qatar Charity office in Bosnia and Herzegovina, in coordination with the Islamic Sheikhdom, has built a number of mosques, printed many books, sponsored a number of imams and preachers, provided full support to an Islamic school for several years, and sponsored the teaching staff of the College of Islamic Studies in Sarajevo, in addition to providing two service cars for the Islamic school and equipping and furnishing an educational hall in an Islamic school.
Qatar Charity is also in continuous coordination with the Islamic Sheikhdom in all the areas in which it operates in Bosnia and Herzegovina, about the implementation of in-kind aid projects such as the distribution of food baskets, heating materials, seasonal projects and other.
