The Islamic World Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ISESCO) has launched an initiative titled “Read to Understand It” in response to the recurring incidents of the Holy Qur’an being burned in European countries.

As per an official statement from ISESCO, an international conference took place in Rabat, Morocco's capital, featuring the participation of numerous scholars and leaders from Islamic universities. During the conference's opening address, ISESCO's Director General, Salim bin Mohammed al-Malik, unveiled the “Read to Understand It” initiative as a proactive measure against the desecration of the Holy Qur’an.

Highlighting that the initiative was launched as a constructive reaction to counteract Qur’an burnings, Malik underscored the necessity for collaborative endeavours to accurately explain Islam.
