CAIRO – Saving no penny, the wealthy Sharjah emirate has opened a huge musical opera that tells the story of life and teachings of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), sending an out loud call for dialogue among different faiths.
“Dialogue and understanding of each other is the Islamic approach, and one that was adopted by the Prophet Mohammed, and it represented an important aspect of Islamic civilization,” Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, the Ruler of Sharjah, was quoted by Emirati newspaper The National on Monday, March 31.
The Sheikh was speaking at the Clusters of Light operetta which opened to the public on Sunday, March 30, bringing together the emirate’s senior officials with artists from throughout the Arab world.
