Rabat : The Rabat-based Islamic Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ISESCO) will support and take part in a symposium on the Prophet’s biography in Spanish writings, which is to due to be held from April 22 to 24 in Rabat. Several prominent scholars and thinkers from Morocco, Spain and the United Arab Emirates will take part in the event, which is to be organized jointly by the faculty of arts and humanities at Sidi Mohammed bin Abdellah University in Fez, the Supreme Scientific Council in Morocco, the Islamic Cultural Centre in Madrid and the Spanish Cultural Centre in Fez.
The symposium would highlight the efforts made by Spanish writers in their studies of the Prophet’s biography as well as the methodologies followed by Spanish Orientalists in tackling this subject. Likewise, it will attempt to evaluate these writings in order to redress the negative stereotypes reinforced by Orientalism in the Spanish consciousness about the Prophet (peace be upon him) and his brilliant biography.
