The Role of Religious Discourse in the Husseini Uprising
On Tuesday, August 5, 2025, Bayt Al-Hikma (House of Wisdom) hosted a scholarly forum titled "Religious Discourse and its Role in the Husseini Uprising." The event was organized by the Permanent National Committee for Community Awareness and Guidance in collaboration with the Government Communication Team, and attended by an elite scholars and religious figures ,  from Baghdad and all Iraqi governorates.
The forum began with a welcoming speech by Dr. Qahtan Ni'ma Hassan Al-Khafaji, Head of the Board of Trustees of Bayt Al-Hikma. He expressed his gratitude to all attendees for accepting the invitation and for their participation, highlighting the significant role Bayt Al-Hikma plays in developing religious and media discourse to serve Iraqi unity and collaboration among its diverse components.
Dr. Haider Al-Saa'di, Head of the Permanent National Committee for Community Awareness and Guidance, talked about the government efforts and procedures  to support constructive discourse by following up   the work of the religious  endowments and monitoring  digital platforms and satellite channels that attempt to spread hate speech and sedition, which threaten the fabric of Iraqi society.
At the end of the forum , the attendance  offered numerous suggestions and ideas to support the government efforts in presenting   a unified Iraqi image. They called  for the adoption of a modern religious discourse that stems from the authenticity of the Muhammadi Islamic religion and draws lessons and wisdom from the blessed Husseini Uprising, aiming  to block the path for anyone who seeks to undermine the unity of the Iraqi people.
