Muhammad Mohsin Iqbal, a writer for The Friday Times, has received recognition from His Royal Highness Prince El Hassan bin Talal of Jordan for his article "Bilad Al-Sham in Crisis: A Call for Unity in the Muslim World." The article, published on December 11, 2024, examines the interconnected crises in Syria and Palestine, stressing the need for unity within the Muslim world.
Prince Hassan’s letter, dated January 5, 2025, commended Mohsin Iqbal for his thought-provoking analysis, which advocates for solidarity among the region’s key players—Turks, Persians, Arabs, and Kurds. His Royal Highness emphasised the importance of fostering integration between the Levant and the Arabian Peninsula and renewing religious discourse, inspired by figures like Muhammad Iqbal.
The letter also addressed the impact of the Zionist project on regional stability and called for a reevaluation of the nation-state in Arab societies, focusing on inclusivity and recognising the contributions of Arab Christians. Prince Hassan’s endorsement reflects Mohsin Iqbal’s growing influence and underscores the value of critical voices in shaping discussions on Middle Eastern geopolitics.
