The Essay of Elshorafa Elhamadi at the Forefront of the Edition

The edition opens with a pivotal essay by Ali Mohamed Elshorafa Elhamadi, in which he presents his vision for achieving peace, cooperation, and freedom among people in 2026, from a humane Qur’anic perspective that links true belief with the values of justice, mercy, and freedom.

Elshorafa Elhamadi asserts that the Holy Qur’an is a collective humane constitution that was revealed so that people may live in peace, rather than being used as a justification for conflict or violence. He emphasizes that what the world is witnessing today in terms of wars and hatred does not represent the essence of religion, but rather a misunderstanding and ideological use of religious texts.

The essay also criticizes Muslims for abandoning Qur’anic Sharia and replacing it with narratives and historical interpretations that have contributed to distorting the image of Islam. It calls for liberating awareness and returning to the Qur’anic text as a living discourse, applicable to every time and place, and capable of addressing the crises of contemporary humanity.

In addition to Elshorafa Elhamadi’s essay, the edition includes in-depth analyses of Chinese foreign policy and its move toward demonstrating power, as well as discussions on the war of the future amid fractures within the Western camp, Arabism as a strategic framework for reshaping the regional system, and Africa 2026, the new economic map, and development opportunities.

This edition embodies the approach of Al Arabs International Magazine in combining rigorous political analysis with enlightened intellectual argument, placing peace and awareness-building at the heart of the discussion. It emphasizes the role of the word and knowledge in confronting .extremism, correcting misconceptions, and building a more just and balanced future
