Sharjah 24: The Sharjah Quran Academy (SQA) explored avenues for cultural cooperation with the Sharjah Museums Authority to advance the museum sector and facilitate the exchange of expertise in line with international best practices. A delegation led by Secretary-General Dr Abdullah Khalaf Al Hosani visited the Sharjah Museum of Islamic Civilisation, where they viewed a distinguished collection of Islamic art and Arabic calligraphy tracing over 1,300 years of Quranic manuscript tradition. Dr Al Hosani commended the Authority's efforts and underscored the cultural vision of His Highness Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, in establishing the emirate as a leader in heritage preservation.

Museums as educational and cultural platforms

Aisha Rashid Deemas, Director General of the Sharjah Museums Authority, praised the Academy’s initiatives and the value of institutional cooperation in reinforcing Sharjah’s position as a cultural capital. She highlighted the recent exhibition “Eternal Letters: Quranic Manuscripts from the Collection of Abdulrahman Al Owais” as a powerful example of this collaboration, showcasing the role of museums as educational spaces that foster intercultural dialogue and uphold Islamic and human heritage.
