The Afghan government has been requesting the Saudi government over the past several years to hold a conference of Islamic scholars to discuss the situation of Afghanistan.
The Saudi government agreed to the proposal during a formal trip to the kingdom by Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Abdullah Abdullah.
The conference is expected to be held in Jeddah city where religious scholars from several Islamic countries will participate in the near future.
However, the Taliban opposed the ulema international conference to discuss Afghanistan issues.
A statement from a Taliban spokesman, Qari Yousuf Ahmadi received by Pajhwok Afghan News said Islamic scholars were responsible to address major issues Islamic countries faced.
“The Afghanistan issue is not very complex one, but is one of major issues of the Muslim Ummah,” he said.
The statement added Afghanistan was ruled by Islamic laws 15 years ago and every decision about any issue was based on Quranic and prophetic teachings.
However, a world’s alliance led by America announced its enmity against Taliban by launching a propaganda war and imposing sanctions in the first phase and then attacking them, the statement said.
“This time, our enemies want to deceive our Ulema and the Islamic world by holding a conference in Jeddah city of Saudi Arabia or somewhere else,” the Taliban said.
The Taliban advised Islamic scholars from all Islamic countries, particularly from Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries not to attend the conference.
