The Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry is sponsoring the
first lecture given by Islamic preacher Saleh Al Maghamsi.
The sponsorship is
part of the chamber’s continued efforts to host different events of the Dubai
International Holy Quran Award (DIHQA) celebration. The lecture will take place as part of the
20th session of DIHQA at its auditorium the evening of June 7.
Dubai Chamber President and CEO Hamad Buamim
said the chamber maintains its efforts to strengthen services and
interactions within the community. Hosting the annual Dubai International
Holy Quran Award event throughout the years is part of that strategy.
The event normally attracts attendees from several different
nations as well as satellite viewers. The chamber recognizes the award as a way
to develop Dubai’s reputation as a destination for Islam. The annual award is
held under the support of Sheikh Mohammed Al Maktoum,
UAE vice president and ruler of Dubai.
The chamber president stated that the chamber’s support of
the award is an effort to highlight the importance of encouraging younger
generations to study and commit the Holy Quran to memory, introducing principles
of the Islamic religion as well as its culture — with the final goal of bringing
the youth closer to Allah.
