Moses at the center of Quranic memory
The statement draws attention to the exceptional prominence of Moses in the Quran. It notes the movement's count of 136 references to Moses and emphasizes how frequently Quranic narratives return to his revelation, leadership, confrontation with Pharaoh, law, patience and responsibility toward the Children of Israel. The publication uses that prominence to argue that Jewish prophetic history already occupies a major place inside Muslim religious consciousness.
Moses is presented as both messenger and lawgiver, a prophet addressed directly by God and a figure whose story repeatedly dramatizes the conflict between tyranny and faith. The statement also stresses what it sees as a strong relationship between the Torah and Quranic revelation and the Islamic obligation to honor the prophets who came before Muhammad.
Shared prophetic memory
The publication's central question is what Muslims should do with this inherited familiarity. Rather than treating Moses and the Children of Israel as belonging to an alien religious world, it proposes that shared reverence can become a bridge for Muslim–Jewish understanding. Isaac and Ishmael are placed inside the wider family of Abraham, making religious kinship part of the movement's case for dialogue.
Against turning politics into religious hatred
The statement sharply criticizes clerical and political movements that, in its view, distort religious texts in order to convert contemporary conflict into hostility toward Jews as a people. It argues that political disagreement should not erase the Quran's own extensive engagement with Israelite prophetic history.
The publication concludes by turning the memory of Moses toward a contemporary call for Abrahamic peace, human dignity and a Middle East in which shared scripture can become a point of conversation rather than a weapon of division.
Peace for the Middle East. Peace for all humanity. Abrahamic peace brings us together.
