ON INCLUSION AND TOLERANCE
“UAE is an example of a nation that seeks religious and cultural tolerance while helping combat racism and hatred. Our vision of unity is the concept to serve peace and harmony, not only between Muslims but amongst all humanity worldwide.” – Madame Sabine Balve
“To treat every person, no matter what his creed or race, as a special soul, is a mark of Islam.” – Quote Sheikh Zayed, the founder of the UAE
World leaders must work hand-in-hand to fight radicalization.
Islam is a religion of peace.

One Quote of Sheikh Zayed, that makes me proud to live in the UAE
“No matter how many buildings, foundations, schools and hospitals we build, or how many bridges we raise, all these are material entities. The real spirit behind the progress is the human spirit, the able man with his intellect and capabilities..” – Quote Sheikh Zayed, the founder of the UAE
This powerful message by the UAE’s first president and founding father, Shaikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan continues to remain a strong foundation upon which the country’s leaders and people have continued to build a nation and legacy of innovation, change and progress. HRH Shaikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan is the grandfather of HRH Sheik Saeed.
I admire the royal family for their wise and visionary leadership, and especially the great spirit of the founding father of UAE.
2018 has been announced as the year of Sheikh Zayed. God bless UAE, their leaders and all citizen!
