His Highness maintained that a large numbers of manuscripts, other than the ones donated to the Islamic Manuscripts House at Al Qasimia University and the Holy Quran Academy and others, have been annotated and others will be in the near future. 

His Highness stated that the book, in which His Highness shortened what was enough for three books, reveals the wrong translation of the Holy Quran, carried out intentionally to distort the meaning of the Holy Quran’s verses. 

His Highness expressed His Highness’s hope that people will benefit from these publications to raise their awareness, and spread accurate historical information. 

His Highness also highlighted the importance of preserving old buildings because of their history and their ability to arouse the individual's affection towards heritage, ancestors and the country. This is evident in the heritage buildings in the cities of Khorfakkan and Al Dhaid.
