… As we were concluding our dialogue for www.geetachhabra.com, I asked H. E. Mirza Al Sayegh, ‘What is your message to my readers?’ He was instant in replying, ‘Knowledge and learning is the only weapon that we can carry to a wider scope of understanding and relationships. Our noble holy Quran orders Muslims to communicate with others to foster peace and understanding between peoples – speaking different tongues. On an individual level, because of my work at Maktoum Foundation, understanding people is utmost. When Sheikh Hamdan’s goals cure illness and educate the illiterate – that gives me contentment and satisfaction.’
