The UAE has participated in the conference on science and religion, organised by the Islamic society in Croatia.
Rashid Al Tunaiji, Acting Executive Director of the National Tolerance Programme, stressed during the conference titled “The Role of Religious Tolerance in the Advancement of Science” that the UAE’s wise leadership is keen to promote the values of tolerance, compassion, co-existence and love, and adopt a realistic approach confirming the close link between science and religion.
In his speech, Tunaiji said that divine religions stated the importance of knowledge in different sciences and arts, and Islam has urged us to pursue learning. He noted that the achievements of the UAE in vital sectors such as space, renewable energy, economy, education, and health and infrastructure, reflect a well-established philosophy that religion serves knowledge.
