Conclusion of the second scientific conference on the Fatwa of Sacred Defence

The Al-Abbas's (p) Combat Division concluded the activities of the second scientific conference, which was held under the auspices of the Al-Abbas's (p) Holy Shrine, under the slogan "Insight of the Fatwa: A Shield for Our Nation and Its Future," in cooperation with the National Defence College.

The conference activities included a speech by the commander of the Al-Abbas's (p) Squad; Mr. Maitham Al-Zaydi, and another by the Dean of the National Defence College, Dr. Brigadier General Ali Hindul Al-Shammari.

The conference witnessed the holding of four research sessions that discussed scientific papers highlighting the pivotal role of the Supreme Religious Authority in issuing the Fatwa of defence, and the decisive transformation it brought about, saving Iraq from the brink of collapse to the path of victory, in addition to its central role in maintaining national security, countering extremist rhetoric, and establishing values of coexistence and societal peace.

The final statement and recommendations of the second scientific conference on the Fatwa of Defensive Jihad emphasised prioritising the supreme national interest of Iraq above all other considerations.

The Al-Abbas's (p) Holy Shrine is keen on documenting this phase of Iraq's history through intellectual and cultural initiatives, including holding scientific conferences and supporting academic research, with the aim of preserving national memory and reinforcing the values that emerged from the fatwa.
