The Majlis Mohamed Bin Zayed is a forum that hosts prominent leaders, scientists, thinkers, scholars and community members to engage in dialogue and contribute to a deeper understanding of the issues that impact societies and human life.
The first episode, which was held virtually because of the current Covid-19 crisis, was led by Dr Omar Habtoor Al Darei, executive director of Islamic Affairs at the General Authority of Islamic Affairs and Endowments, featured a short lecture, followed by a live discussion.
‘Power of Ramadan’
“People observing Ramadan from their homes this year would experience a renewal of faith, as they observe this holy month with their family under the same roof,” he said.
The lecture referenced lessons from the pandemics of the past, citing The Annals of the History of the Emirates, a book documenting the epidemics people of the region suffered. He also spoke about the legacies of forefathers who conquered difficult times with optimism.
Dr Al Darei stressed the importance of perseverance in times of epidemics, stressing that even the companions of Prophet Muhamad (PBUH) faced bigger epidemics.
