Editorial: Sharjah initiatives to promote cultural and civilisational exchange

The editorial, titled "Sharjah Initiatives to Promote Cultural and Civilisational Exchange," emphasises how Sharjah has, over the past five decades, fostered impactful and inspiring experiences that honour local, Arab, and global heritage. These efforts have promoted cultural and civilisational exchange, with a focus on preserving Islamic heritage and enriching studies in language, religion, history, and civilisation. These initiatives are part of the broader cultural and civilisational project led by His Highness Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, which carries a global humanitarian message.

Editor-in-Chief Nawaf Younes: The power of maternal support

In his editorial, Editor-in-Chief Nawaf Younes reflects on the theme of nurturing success, celebrating the mother and teacher Nancy Edison. He highlights her critical role in supporting her son, Thomas Edison, through difficult times. Younes recalls how Nancy Edison stood by him, particularly after receiving a discouraging letter from his school, which recommended that he be removed due to his challenges. Undeterred, she continued his education at home, ultimately guiding him to brilliance and success.

Conclusion: Mothers as the foundation of our growth

Younes concludes by stating that mothers are the light that illuminates our paths, forming the foundation of our personal, social, and cultural development.
