Away from the ordinary in literary and cultural sessions;

The virtual evening “My mother taught me Hamda”, organized by the literary salon “Al Multaqa”, came last Thursday evening, in which Sheikha Dr. Shamma bint Muhammad bin Khalid Al Nahyan, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Sheikh Mohammed bin Khaled Al Nahyan Cultural and Educational Institutions, spoke about her relationship with her mother, Sheikha. Hamda bint Muhammad bin Khalifa Al Nahyan, and what she learned from her of the human values ​​that shaped her vision of life.

Sheikha Shamma chose an interactive method with the attendees by inviting them to use a paper and a pen to monitor situations from their lives that reflect each of the three values ​​that she addressed in the session, which is consistent with the method through which she learned these values ​​through attitudes from everyday life that she collected with her mother, and by observing Her behavior, the way she deals with those around her, and her concern for them, not only from humans, but from birds and animals as well, according to what Sheikha Shamma reviewed in her speech.

She emphasized that "everything you write about her experience in life and about her relationship with her mother cannot be explained or made to fully express her relationship with her, and with the values, morals and human concepts that she learned from her and built her life on her in full," adding: "My mother Hamda .. Your love fills my world. Knowledge and intellectual, and you hold me responsible for continuing to give to our dear country, the United Arab Emirates and our beloved community, for you are the soul of life and knowledge for me, and I am still learning from you, and your presence today is a high moral value for me.

And she considered that her talk about her mother is a conversation about the mother, every mother, she is the reason for the survival of humanity, and every mother in relation to her children is the whole world.

Left a mark

Sheikha Shamma, during the evening witnessed by Sheikha Hamda bin Mohammed bin Khalifa Al Nahyan, Sheikha Salama bint Tahnoon Al Nahyan, Sheikha Dr. Moza bint Mubarak Al Nahyan, Sheikha Sheikha bint Mohammed bin Khalid Al Nahyan, presented by Asma Al-Mutawa, presented some of the values ​​that she learned From her mother, who she used to talk about in press articles and publications through her personal account on social media under the title “My mother taught me Hamda”, explaining that the most important thing I learned from her is that everything she does must have a positive impact, and that the values ​​are not in words but in behavior. Which stems from a pure human instinct.

She said: “Our role model was my mother, Hamda, who strongly embraces these values ​​in the subconscious, through behavior and action, and my awareness grew and expanded on a strong and solid foundation of stable experiences in the subconscious that formed much of my vision of life and values, and my mother Hamda had the largest and most important share in this basis.”

She focused on three main values, the first of which is love, which represents the basis that connects human relations and without it there is no giving or tolerance, noting that her conviction, which arrived after multiple studies and readings, is that all human relationships have positive goals, but there is one love without goals or interests. She is a mother's love for her children, as she loves a sincere, flowing love that cannot be compared to any love in the world.

And she continued: "My mother, Hamda, taught me many values ​​associated with love, such as giving and tolerance, and that giving without limits or waiting in return, and that giving is not included in the value of a person, but giving is one for all."

Help others

The second value that Sheikha Shamma stopped at is "helping others", considering that human beings live in interconnected societies, not on isolated islands, and this interlocking is the true nerve for humanity's survival and building its civilization, hence the value of cooperation and helping others.

She noted that the help is not limited to a person only, but it may be for a bird or an animal, citing her mother’s position, when she noticed that she was looking for something, and asked her what she was looking for, and the mother said that she used to put food and water for birds every day, and she noticed that there is A bird used to come to eat food and water, but it was absent two days ago, and I asked her to search for it: “When I asked about the bird they told me that there are repairs in the place that it used to drink from, so it moved to a second part of the house, and when my mother told Hamda that, she asked to stop the repairs For the bird to return to its spot, which has already been done, the mother not only offered food and drink to the birds, but she followed her closely and asks about the absentee.

Likewise, when we noticed recently, in conjunction with the Corona crisis, that birds are building their nests on the ceiling in the gaps designated for lighting, so I suggested that the place be cleaned of these nests, but my mother Hamda asked us to leave them because she is afraid of the strange conditions that the world is going through, just as he fears People, so we left the nests as they are and still exist until now, and we are still learning from my mother Hamda. ”

Sheikha Shamma stated that the third value is "insistence on reaching the goal", adding that her mother always encourages her and contains her when she feels tired, and always tells her that she has the will to reach the goal, and she should not stop: «My mother Hamda was pushing me To achieve my goals, I did not give a lecture or give a speech without asking me to read it to her.

Book

Sheikha Dr. Shamma explained that the values ​​she learned from her mother will be published in a book in the coming period, referring in her response to the attendees' interventions during the evening to the wide echoes that she received about her publication on social media.

"She always encourages and embraces me at the moments when I feel tired."
