He affirmed that the Muslim World League has succeeded in accomplishing a unique project in which sincere efforts are complemented, and secondly because of its belief that the message of Islam came as a mercy to the worlds, whose radiance was launched from Makkah to the world, so that its light would be a guide for human beings everywhere.

He added, "The new identity stems from the Islamic culture and civilization represented by the Arabic calligraphy that has always been the symbol of our civilization, and it is a message that also reflects the faith and keenness of the Muslim World League to promote the global Islamic presence with its achievements, innovations, arts and contributions that enriched human civilization and provided great services to the world for over 1,400 years.
