In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Esteemed Professor Dr. Ali Qaradaghi,

Amidst all the difficult and challenging events and news that we hear daily occurring in the Kurdistan Region, Iraq, the region, and the world, the news of the election of a son and scholar of our nation as the President of the International Union of Muslim Scholars is a source of pride and joy for us. On behalf of myself and the Kurdistan Social Democratic Party, we extend our warmest congratulations to you, and we pray for your success in your duties and responsibilities. The Kurdish people and the Muslim peoples of the world look with hope to your role and that of the International Union of Muslim Scholars in finding solutions and ending problems, crises, conflicts, and wars. I hope that you will always remember the just cause of our people and that your peaceful efforts will continue. Congratulations once again, may you always be successful and triumphant.
