Mohamed Bin Zayed University for Humanities is celebrating Ramadan with a series of public service programmes during the Holy Month. This includes producing the third edition of "Qur'an Mubeen", a 30-episode TV series on Al Emarat TV.
The programme sheds light on the values of faith as enshrined in the Holy Qur'an. It examines selected verses from the holy book and Qur'anic texts, seeking to explain their connotations and the reasons for their revelation in contemporary times.
An elite selection of scholars and professors will take turns presenting the television programme, which discusses several topics, including Qur'anic stories, proverbs, and universal verses, as well as the morals of the Prophet Mohammad. It will also deep dive into the culture of dialogue, the methodology for understanding the Qur'an and its virtues, and the way in which we understand and celebrate Ramadan.
The programme will also devote episodes discussing the concept of righteousness in the Holy Qur'an, Quranic eloquence, reflections on the Surah Luqman, Ar-Ra'd, An-Nisa, Al-Imran, Ar-Rahman, and Al-Hujurat, Qur'anic recitations, and the speech of mercy in the Qur'an. Other topics to be covered include family relations in the Qur'an, notable figures in the Holy Qur'an, women in the Holy Qur'an and manifestations of honour, as well as the central role of peace in the Qur'an.
During the Holy Month, Mohamed Bin Zayed University for Humanities will also present four episodes, which are open dialogues on religious discourse and human thought. These will feature important religious, national, and leadership experts to share useful knowledge and enlightened thought to mark the important occasion for the Islamic faithful. In addition, the episodes will open the door for discussion and direct communication between students at the university and religious and humanitarian thought leaders and influencers in the country.
Moreover, the university will present a religious video series that will be broadcast on the university's platforms with one episode every day throughout Ramadan. The series includes the "Guidance and Sermon" programme, which aims to introduce some verses of the Holy Qur'an, and the guidance and values they hold. Furthermore, the university will air the "Prophetic Values" video that addresses several moral values from the Sunnah of the Messenger.
"These initiatives fall within the framework of the university's commitment to serving the community. They strengthen our efforts in consolidating the values of faith in the Holy Qur'an. They also support the university's mission of highlighting the human and national dimensions of religious discourse and consolidating them among students and members of society. In addition, they increase knowledge of the Emirati religious discourse's national identity," said Dr. Khalifa Al Dhaheri, Chancellor of the Mohamed Bin Zayed University for Humanities.
Dr. Al Dhaheri highlighted that, throughout the holy month, "Qur'an Mubeen" will address the values and qualities that a Muslim must possess and adopt in his life, especially since they embody the values of human fraternity and call for mercy, endearment, love, and peaceful coexistence. He also stressed that the programme has achieved great success during the past two seasons, therefore, the university was keen on its continuity this year.
In addition, Dr. Al Dhaheri explained that Islamic scholars, professors, and experts will take turns presenting the episodes and share their perspectives and expertise on the different topics that were carefully curated to benefit the audience.
