Islamic trip to
Al-Khazna Farm
and Majlis
As part of the cultural activities organised
by the Islamic Education Department
at EIS-Meadows, students visited the
Al-Khazna Farm and Majlis (near Al
Ain) on February 5, 2015. The special
trip was organised under the theme
‘Remembering the Prophet (SAW) of
love and mercy and the importance of
hospitality in the Arab Culture.’
Simahatush-Shaikh Syed Ali Al-Hashmi,
Islamic scholar and Advisor to President
of UAE, HH Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed bin
Sultan Al Nahyan hosted the student to
Arab cultural food, answered questions
from the students and oversaw as
they participated in an Islamic quiz. He
spoke on the topic of peace and mercy
in Islam and condemned all belief and
actions based on extremism and hatred
to humanity.
The students were treated to a
performance by the famous Arabic
Nasheed singer, Basil Mustafa.
Sheikh Ali Al-Hashmi expressed
his good wishes to the Emirates
International Schools and family of
Khalaf Ahmad Al Habtoor and extended
his wishes to all staff to come and visit
his farm.
