During this meeting organized by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (Africa Office), Fatima Zahra Al-Salihi, Mourchida of the Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs, emphasized the many reforms that occurred in the religious field in Morocco, as part of the comprehensive civilizational reform project launched by the Kingdom under the enlightened leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI.
In a speech entitled “Murchidates and prevention of violent extremism: lessons from the Moroccan experience,” Al-Salihi explained that the reformist vision of the religious field in Morocco draws its strength from a comprehensive approach and a long-term vision to meet the needs and priorities of society.
The religious field, she explained, has experienced comprehensive revival and development under the leadership of HM King Mohammed VI, Commander of the Faithful, recalling the special interest given to this field through the involvement of women and the expansion of the scope of their work in the management of religious affairs and the fight against extremism and fundamentalism.
The training of the Mourchidates, Al-Salihi said, is part of a comprehensive and general strategic vision related to the policy of reform and management of religious affairs in the Kingdom. It is also part of an integrated royal vision revolving around the role of these Mourchidates in the consolidation of the values of citizenship and the improvement of the living conditions of Moroccans, she added.
