Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Centre launches the first episode of the Contributions of Muslim Scholars series

The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Centre has released the first episode of the “Contributions of Muslim Scholars” series, launched in conjunction with the Centre’s new initiative that celebrates the enduring civilizational role of Muslim scholars throughout history and highlights their pioneering scientific contributions that formed the foundation of many modern sciences. The initiative reflects the UAE vision of preserving human cultural heritage and aligns with the cultural mission embodied by the Centre’s "Noor and Salaam" Museum, which serves as a platform that introduces global audiences to the depth of Islamic civilization and its universal human values.

The inaugural episode serves as an introductory gateway that provides viewers with a clear overview of the initiative and its cultural and civilizational messages. It highlights the first phase of the series, which focuses on the contributions of Muslim scholars in the fields of astronomy and mathematics. The Centre will continue producing and releasing upcoming episodes, aiming to underscore the pivotal role of Islamic civilization in advancing scientific progress throughout history, while showcasing the achievements of Muslim scholars across various fields of knowledge and documenting this legacy through an engaging, contemporary format accessible to diverse audiences.

The Centre produced the series through its highly skilled national cadre, who leveraged their expertise in integrating artificial intelligence technologies into the design and production of the content, ensuring high quality and effectively conveying the series’ cultural messages. This includes the introduction of a narrator character representing the Emirati identity, as well as visual scenes that reflect the cultural and historical depth of Islamic civilization, blending elements of the past and present within a dynamic narrative style.

In conjunction with the initiative, the Centre also launched a comprehensive programme of cultural events and activities, including an exhibition held inside the “Dome of Peace” documenting the contributions of Muslim scholars, in addition to panel discussions, a visual cultural series, and activities that enrich the cultural landscape of Abu Dhabi.

The “Contributions of Muslim Scholars” Exhibition is open to visitors during the mosque’s official visiting hours. The public may follow updates on the initiative’s events and activities through the Centre’s official website: www.szgmc.gov.ae and on Instagram at @szgmc_ae.
