愛資哈爾清真寺(開羅)

該枚郵票發行於1957年,是愛資哈爾清真寺的千年盛典紀念。該清真寺建於西元10世紀,不久就成了一所大學中心。她是世界上最古老的清真寺和大學。遜尼派穆斯林認為她是伊斯蘭教研究的最享有聲望的大學機構。

Al Azhar in Cairo
The postage stamp, dating from 1957, commemorated the millennium of Al Azhar. The mosque was built in the 10th century AD and soon became the center of a university. It is one of the oldest in the world. Sunni Muslims consider it the most prestigious institution of Islamic studies.

為終止傳統的性器官毀損而獲得宗教和民間支持的重要行動於2003年在開羅舉行。從受到過這種習俗影響的非洲和阿拉伯國家來的28名代表發佈了《廢除女性生殖器毀損開羅宣言》(Cairo Declaration for the Elimination of Female Genital Mutilation

這個文件之所以重要,是因為它不可能由不瞭解當地社會實情的西方社會宣導者所制定。尤其具有重要意義的是兩個最富影響力的伊斯蘭教和基督教宗教領袖在埃及的聲明,他們是來自愛資哈爾清真寺Al-Azhar[1]謝克大教長Grand Sheykh,全名H.E. Sheykh Mohammed Sayed Tantawy)和科普特教宗Koptic Pope欣諾達三世Shenouda III的代表。兩位宗教領袖重申“無論是伊斯蘭教或者基督教都沒有該習俗的宗教教義”。

開羅聲明在當地與國際代理機構之間致力於變革的合作奠定了新基礎。欲知開羅聲明全文,請點擊此處

Prohibited Sexual Behavior and Sexual Violence
Sexual Violence: Mutilation of Female Sex Organs: Strategies 2
An important step in obtaining religious and civil support for the end of the traditional sexual mutilations was taken in 2003 in Cairo.
Representatives from 28 African and Arab countries affected by the

 practice issued theCairo Declaration for the Elimination of Female Genital Mutilation.
This document was important, because it could not be attributed to uncomprehending Western agitators. Especially significant were the statements of the two most influential Islamic and Christian religious leaders in Egypt, the Grand Sheykh of Al-Azhar, H.E. Sheykh Mohammed Sayed Tantawy, and the representative of the Koptic Pope, Shenouda III. Both reaffirmed that “no religious precept either in Islam or Christianity justifies the practice”.
The Cairo Declaration created a new basis for the co-operation between local and international agents for change. For the full text, click
