Prince Charles of Wales, in the celebration marked by the Al-Azhar University to grant him the honorary doctorate, expressed his absolute comfort over principles of the Islamic religion. Such principles rendered Islam one of the three divine world religions of Islam, Christianity and Judaism. The Islamic religion comprised joint roots among these religions making it capable for establishing common humanitarian bridges that call for world cooperation between Muslims and the other that calls upon the whole human community to give favorable judgment for Islam and Muslims.

The human community also should deal with Muslims away from associating them with terror, for the accurate scientific testing proved the futility of such ideas as they are aggressive man-made ideology. Such ideas target undermining the Islam's effect on human lives as it is one of Messenger Abraham's emanating religion that calls for love, purity, cooperation and brotherhood for the interest of all humans.

All the divine creeds declared love as a principle among humans, rendering it the relationship among mankind. All divine creeds mentioned love in their teachings, and Islam mentioned it clearly in the Prophet Muhammad's (Hadith) tradition "No faith for those who do not like the same they do for themselves towards their brothers".

The Prophet Muhammad inherited love as interconnection mean among humans. As for Islam, it can coexist with other religions harmoniously.

Wise sayings and the fair scientific outlook on religions generally, and on Islam in particular, were the reasons behind granting the honorary doctorate for Prince Charles from the University of Al-Azhar, besides his neutrality and abstractedness in giving his testimony for the interest of Islam and the Islamic civilization.

Prince Charles demonstrated the role of the Islamic civilization in the achievements of modern civilization, and he expressed his pride with the Islamic culture, which represents a main source for his culture.

All these considerations are valued by Muslims and which Prince Charles advocates came at a rare time propagated by Islam's advocators with such clarity and strength.
