In the Name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful

The Global Imams Council extends its heartfelt gratitude and deep appreciation to the government and people of Japan for their recent initiative in establishing prayer rooms across various stores, in recognition of the increasing number of Muslim visitors to the country. This gesture of inclusivity and respect for religious practices reflects Japan’s commitment to fostering a welcoming environment for people of all faiths.

The GIC acknowledges Japan’s efforts in promoting interfaith harmony and understanding, which resonate deeply with the values of peace and coexistence that are central to the teachings of Islam.

As the world continues to grow closer through travel and cultural exchange, initiatives like this play a crucial role in building bridges between diverse communities. The Global Imams Council reaffirms its support for Japan’s endeavors and looks forward to continued collaboration in promoting mutual respect and understanding between cultures and religions.

May this act of goodwill be a beacon of light in our shared journey towards global peace and unity.
