H.E. Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, Minister of Culture, Youth and Community Development UAE, attended the 545th Birth Anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev Ji at the Nanak Darbar Gurdwara, Jebel Ali, Dubai.
Attending the ceremony he remarked “Guru Nanak’s vision still rings true today. He stressed on the human similarities between various religious faiths, always seeking to find common ground between them. His teachings were Universal, always promoting inter-cultural dialogue and harmony between faiths. He stood for devotion, compassion and the love of God. The UAE tries to stand by such principles, continuously promoting religious tolerance and inter-cultural communication.”
It is was his second visit this temple. He said,“It is a beautiful place of worship and open to All Faiths, making it an icon of cross-cultural communication. Guru Nanak’s birthday is a special ceremony because it also highlights the virtuous ways of living and treating fellow human beings. This event and the activities related to it can only lead to a greater understanding between our peoples. It also helps promote relations between the UAE and India.”
Such steps are always welcomed by the Sikh community!
