This event was inaugurated by Her Highness Sheikha Jawaher bint Mohammed Al Qasimi, the wife of the Ruler of Sharjah and the leader of the Council. Sheikha Jawaher believes in the vital role that the Council plays in developing the community across various aspects, such as social, health, education, and culture.

In an interview with “Sharjah 24,” Ghabish emphasized that this year's forum highlights the rich cultural, scientific, and creative achievements of the Abbasid era. The goal is to help younger generations understand and appreciate the accomplishments of their ancestors, who innovated and established a civilization that still influences the world today.
