It is no exaggeration to say that Pope Francis and the Grand Imam Ahmad Al-Tayyeb took the world by surprise on 4 February 2019 with their joint declaration. The Document on Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together has been hailed as a milestone in interreligious dialogue. The declaration was signed during the first ever papal visit to the Arabian Peninsula, the cradle of Islam. The Pope’s journey to the United Arab Emirates took place on the eight hundredth anniversary of Francis of Assisi’s visit to Sultan al-Malik al-Kāmil, an encounter whose symbolic value perdures.

Introduction :
Il n’est pas exagéré de dire que le pape François et le grand imam Ahmad Al-Tayyeb ont pris le monde par surprise le 4 février 2019 avec leur déclaration commune. Le Document sur la fraternité humaine pour la paix mondiale et la coexistence commune a été acclamé comme un jalon important du dialogue interreligieux. La déclaration a été signée lors de la toute première visite papale dans la péninsule arabique, berceau de l’islam. Le voyage du pape aux Émirats arabes unis a eu lieu 800 ans après la rencontre entre saint François d’Assise et le sultan al-Malik al-Kāmil, une rencontre dont la valeur symbolique perdure.

مقدمة :
ليس من قبيل المبالغة أن نقول إنّ البابا فرنسيس والإمام الأكبر أحمد الطيّب فاجآ العالم في 4 شباط (فبراير) 2019 بإعلانهما المشترك. تم الترحيب بوثيقة الأخوّة الإنسانيّة من أجل السلام العالميّ والعيش معًا باعتبارها علامة فارقة في الحوار بين الأديان. تمّ التوقيع على الإعلان خلال أوّل زيارة بابويّة إلى شبه الجزيرة العربيّة، مهد الإسلام. تمّت رحلة البابا إلى دولة الإمارات العربيّة المتّحدة في الذكرى الثمانمائة لزيارة فرنسيس الأسيزي إلى سلطان الملك الكامل، وهو لقاء له قيمته الرمزيّة.
