King Faisal Prize 1979-2018 1979-2018 4 INTRODUCTION King Faisal International Prize (KFIP) was initiated by the King Faisal Foundation (KFF) inspired by its humanitarian objectives and its commitment to preserve the true Islamic values which King Faisal, may Allah have mercy upon him, stood for. These values and principles, held dearly by the late King Faisal, may Allah rest his soul in peace, are firmly enshrined in the statute of the Prize. Indeed, the KFF established the KFIP as a lofty expression and reflection of late King Faisal’s unstinting support for endeavors slated to alleviate human suffering through the advancement of research and creative human thinking. These are core values which the late King Faisal passionately upheld, besides his respect for knowledge, empathy with scholars, and his appreciative recognition of their contributions to the advancement of nations. He strongly believed that progress of his nation and his countrymen can not be achieved without a resolute acquisition of knowledge that is commensurate with the values and teachings of Islam, as well as an in- depth understanding of human history and a genuine appreciation of the foundations in which the Islamic civilization is grounded, along with the conducive factors that helped this civilization blossom and thrive and positively contribute to universal human civilization. 5 The KFIP is driven by objectives animated by this thorough human perception, emanating from the cradle of the Islamic message, a land to which the hearts of Muslims throughout the world are attached, a land founded on the principles of this message and ruled by its principles. To be sure, these features endow the Prize with a distinct prestige among peer prizes that seek to motivate scientists and thinkers and encourage them to pursue further scientific and intellectual accomplishments that benefit humanity and help foster a better and brighter civilization. This year, we celebrate the 39th anniversary of KFIP as the Prize firmly wades its way towards its prestigious position among leading international prizes. The Prize takes special pride in being widely recognized for being impartial and independent of all and any political, intellectual, sectarian and religious considerations. We pray to the Almighty Allah to preserve our country’s security and stability. May this country continue its noble mission under the leadership of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz, Supreme President of King Faisal Foundation, and the Crown Prince, Deputy Premier and Minister of Defensee, May Allah guide us all to that which benefits Islam and Muslims and contributes to the advancement and progress of mankind. May Allah make our aspirations come true! Khalid Al-Faisal Chairman of KFIP Board 6 Inception of The King Faisal International Prize In 1976 King Faisal Foundation was estab- lished by the sons of the late King Faisal Bin Abdulaziz in com- memoration of their father with the aim to perpetuate the Islamic values King Faisal, may Allah have mer- cy upon his soul, un- flinchingly strived to preserve. On May 3, 1976 Royal Decree No. A/134 was issued, authorizing the establishment of King Faisal Foundation. Since its inception, the Foundation has served as a humanitarian institution with an international outlook. In 1977 the Board of Trustees of King Faisal Foundation decided to set up an international prize, bearing the name of King Faisal, to be awarded in three branches: “Service to Islam”, “Islamic Studies”, and “Arabic Language and Literature.” The first awards were granted in 1979. In 1981, the Foundation’s Board of Trustees added two branches to the three exist- ing categories: one in “Medicine” and the other in “Science”. The new addition reflected the international thrust of the prize, and earned it wider fame and recogni- tion. The Prize in “Medicine” was first awarded in 1982 and the Prize in “Science” was first awarded in 1984. KFIP Objectives 1. Promoting Islamic values and ideals in society and projecting them to the world. 2. Serving Islam and Muslims culturally, intellectually, and practically. 3. Benefiting Muslims in their present and future, and inspiring them to pro- actively enhance the various aspects of civilization. 4.
