Sharjah my destination July-Sept 2014 [antikvár]

Opening Message Welcome to Sharjah Welcome to the summer edition of Sharjah My Destination magazine. In this issue we explore the most important time in the Islamic calendar, and as the world looks to the Capital of Islamic Culture for inspiration, Sharjah takes on a highly significant responsibility. The holy month of Ramadan brings with it an opportunity for reflection and learning. There's no better time to discover the foundations of the Islamic faith, and there are numerous ways to do this in Sharjah. Whether immersing yourself in a public tour of the magnificent Al Noor Mosque or exploring the historically significant exhibits at Sharjah Museum of Islamic Civilization, the message of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) becomes ever clearer. And as Ramadan gives way to the celebrations of Eid Al Fitr, there's no better place to experience the generosity of spirit and rich sense of community that this occasion inspires. From Al Qasba to Al Majaz Waterfront, the city comes alive with vibrant festivities. Traditional souks buzz with activity, as shoppers seek the perfect gift for loved ones, or supplies for a family feast, evoking an atmosphere that has taken hold of Sharjah on this occasion for centuries. It is with all this to offer that we invite visitors to spend this special time in Sharjah, and wish all who come here Ramadan Kareem. fSl The holy month of Ramadan brings with it an opportunity for reflection and learning.
