A new film entitled ‘The Lady of Heaven’ has been condemned as divisive and sectarian by scholars across the rich traditions of Islam.
The MCB, which proudly represents affiliates from across the different schools of thought in our faith, supports those scholars and leaders who are advocating for greater unity and for the common good, as commanded by our Holy Prophet (peace be upon him).
The MCB has always advocated for respectful dialogue of intra-faith relations.
There are some – including many of this film’s supporters or those engaging in sectarianism in their response – whose primary goal is to fuel hatred.
We must not let them succeed.
