Global religious organisations have a central role in helping address some of the most pressing challenges facing our world today. The Muslim World League, as the world's largest Islamic organisation, is no exception, pushing an agenda driven by moderate values, including but not limited to peace, tolerance and love. A candid conversation with the Saudi Arabia-based NGO's Secretary General, HE Dr Mohammad Abdulkarim Al Issa, who has been in his position since August 2016, shed further light on the challenges with which his organisation faces today and how moderate perceptions of Islam are adapting to our rapidly evolving globalised world. HE Dr Mohammad Abdulkarim Al Issa also serves as president of the International Islamic Halal Organization and is the former minister of justice in Saudi Arabia.
