“I hope the fruits of this conference go beyond the knowledge that we applied here and go into application in our world and solve some of the problems on which this conference focused,” stressed the religious cleric.

Ayman Yacoub demanded clerics, religious leaders and thinker to take practical steps in the realm of unity and solidarity stressing, “I think unity is an idea, so you need more of thinking and talking about this issue.”

“I think such event should be held in other countries,” pointed out the religious thinker stressing clerics should come to an agreements and events like the 30th International Islamic Unity Conference let religious leaders assure all people are still in the same page.
