The Committee will also announce the name of the winner of the Award's Islamic Personality of the Year after taking the approval of the founder of the Award, General Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and UAE Defence Minister.
The committee also reviewed the nominees of the UAE for the award from among the winners of the local competition "The National Memoriser" that was concluded recently.
