In response to the Higher Committee of Human Fraternity (HCHF) calls to pray for humanity today, 14th May, people of all races, colours, ethnicities, and nationalities stood together <\/span><\/span>in an unprecedented event to pray and supplicate to God<\/span><\/span> for an end to the <\/span><\/span>COVID-19 pandemic,<\/span><\/span> and to guide and inspire s<\/span><\/span><\/a>cientists find a vaccine.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

From the very first moment the HCHF announced its great initiative, the call gained the blessing and support of the two most prominent religious leaders in the world; His Eminence <\/span><\/span>Dr.<\/span><\/span> Ahmed El-<\/span><\/span>Tayeb<\/span><\/span>, Grand Imam of Al <\/span><\/span>Azhar<\/span><\/span>, and His Holiness Pope Francis, Pope of the Catholic Church, and received the support of a number of kings, presidents, leaders, and leading political, religious, and media figures from all the world.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Judge <\/span><\/span>AbdelSalam<\/span><\/span>, Secretary-General of the <\/span><\/span>HCHF<\/span><\/span>, held an online press conference on Monday, attended by<\/span><\/span> Monsignor <\/span><\/span>Yoannis<\/span><\/span> Lahzi<\/span><\/span>Gaid<\/span><\/span>, Personal Secretary of His Holiness Pope Francis,<\/span><\/span> and Irina <\/span><\/span>Bokova<\/span><\/span>, Former Director General of UNESCO during which he announced the details of the initiative in the presence of local and international media outlets.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Judge Mohamed <\/span><\/span>AbdelSalam<\/span><\/span> stated: \u201cThis support for the initiative is clear evidence that we can, especially when addressing common challenges, put aside our disagreements under the banner of our human fraternity. Believing that our common human values is the driving force for the HCHF\u2019s members to announce the call to pray, fast and perform charitable work to rid mankind of this pandemic and its consequences.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Judge <\/span><\/span>AbdelSalam<\/span><\/span> also announced the launch of the official website of the \u2018Pray for Humanity\u2019 initiative\u00a0<\/span><\/span>(<\/span><\/span>pray.forhumanfraternity.org), which will provide live coverage of the day and will serve as a digital archive for this historic day and future events of the HCHF.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
