Last month, the world witnessed the Haj season while millions of pilgrims streamed in large numbers from across the globe conveying intentionally or unintentionally their countries’ identities and societies’ traditions and cultures’ characteristics. We could spot these distinctive features in their faces, habits and dresses, while other people looked old and young. - On the 12th of August, countries around the world celebrated the Inter- national Youth Day, and the UAE wise leadership had particular directions to build the generation of the Emirati youth on solid foundations deeply embedded in tradition and identity of this nation. The initiative launched by HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan he received the young Emirati people at Al Bahr Palace in Abu Dhabi. The 28th of August marked the UAE celebration of the Emirati Women’s Day. The month of September marks pupils go-back to school and the start of the journey of learning. This month, we will be celebrating the Prophet’s Migration calling on people to recall the everlasting motto: The true Muslim is the one from whose tongue and hand the people are safe, and a Muhajir (Emigrant) is the one who refrains from what Allah has forbidden.” - Haj has a multitude of national, spiritual and human meanings and significance, and our pilgrims return to the homeland rewarded by Allah where they witnessed moments of spiritual manifestation in the holy sites. The national significance lies in millions of pilgrims come from all over the world, and the UAE pilgrims receive unwavering care of the leadership. They performed Haj rites in comfort and happiness and felt the need to thank the nation and leadership. The spiritual significance: complying with Allah commands “ And [due] to Allah from the people is a pilgrimage to the House - for whoever is able to find thereto a way.” - Responding to the call of the Prophet Ibrahim, peace be upon him, “And proclaim unto humanity the pilgrimage. They will come unto thee on foot and on every lean camel; they will come from every deep ravine.” - Leaving the life of luxury and routine and other worldly deeds just to focus on observing the acts of worship and making Duaa (supplication) and following in the footsteps of the Prophets. - The human significance: being humble and patient with people irrespec- tive of their cultures and habits “therein (let him remember that) there is (to be) no lewdness nor abuse nor angry conversation on the pilgrimage.” - Spreading the culture of tolerance, peace and co-existence among millions of pilgrims. - Exchanging the financial and knowledge benefits from other civilisa- tions, as Allah the Almighty says: “That they may witness things that are of benefit to them.” He the Exalted says: “and have made you nations and Editorial tribes that you may know one another.” Dr. Ahmed Al-Mousa Manar Al-Islam Issue 525 3 4 September 2018 Contents Mohammed bin Rashid: Whoever wants to make 06 an accomplishment for his or her people the nation Monthly Islamic & Cultural Magazine is the arena and history is the witness ........................................................................................................................
