How beautiful was the initiation of His Highness Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed - may God protect him, help him and grant him success - his speech at the ceremony of signing the peace treaty, saying: “We say in our Islamic religion, O God, you are peace, and from you is peace!”

Let everyone know that our religion is a religion of peace and harmony, full of a culture of peace and peace among people, has made peace his slogan among human beings, in every case and every article, our prayers in which we speak to our Lord as a struggle by reciting his book, and submission between his hands bowing and prostration, and kneeling in his hands.

Our Lord has prescribed for us in it to salute his prophet who taught us peace by addressing him with peace: “Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy and blessings of God”, as if he is present before us, and we greet ourselves and our faithful brothers, so we say: “Peace be upon us and upon the righteous servants of God.” And to conclude our discussions with Him, glory be to Him. By greeting our brothers for our faith and our honor, and as soon as we finish our prayers, we remember God Almighty in His name, peace.

Because he called us to peace, so we say: “Oh God, you are peace, and from you is peace. Blessed be you, O Most Glorious and Honorable,” so he taught us to live with God and his servants in peace.

And so that peace be a motto between the believers and all worshipers of God;

Make peace greeting the people of Islam to those we know and those we do not know at every meeting and separation, and to greet our family and when we enter our homes, and if no one is there, then we greet ourselves, all this so that everyone in the universe can secure us, and so that we and others feel that we are a nation of peace.

This is the approach of Islam that a Muslim must live with his fellow man. All this is so that everyone feels that peace is the approach of Islam, that we are a nation of peace, and that peace requires the other to accept peace, as His Highness said: “We extend the hand of peace and receive the hand of peace.” Peace is shared by all.

Because mankind is tasked with living in peace with itself and with others, and as His Highness said: “The search for peace is a genuine principle, but principles are actually realized when they are transformed into actions.” And here he is fulfilling the approach of Islam by actions so that the peoples of the region move to tranquility, prosperity and stability. Life in the era of technology, space and various innovations, all of this can only be achieved in peace made by the brave people of the region who are responsible for their people in the present and future, and as His Highness said, may God protect him: “Today we are witnessing a new idea that will create a better path for the Middle East region, so everyone is looking forward to creating a more future. Stability, prosperity and security, because the lack of progress in this path means devastation, poverty and human suffering »as His Highness said, and this is what a rational person does not want and does not serve a cause, especially since the peoples have experienced the bitterness of wars and their misery, but they have not achieved anything of their purpose, while the experience of peace that took place in treaties The precedent restored some rights to the Palestinian, Egyptian and Jordanian people that would not have been achieved in light of the war.

How great is the UAE’s interest in the cause of the Palestinian people and its honorable sanctity when it made the peace treaty with Israel a service to its cause first, as His Highness said in his great speech: “This treaty will enable us more to stand by the Palestinian people and realize their hopes for an independent state within a prosperous region.” Rapprochement generates chances for the success of negotiations, and each party understands what it wants from the other in a way that achieves fairness, justice and common rights, so what does the Palestinian people want other than stability in their land and the establishment of an independent state for them, away from the occupation and internal division that increased misery, and enabled their enemy to undermine it more and more? !

Peace is what achieves the hopes and prosperity of peoples and countries, and the UAE has taken upon itself to spread peace in all parts of the earth with all it can. It is the approach of the founder Sheikh Zayed, may God Almighty have mercy on him, who loved peace for everyone as he loved him for himself, his people and his nation, and his righteous children followed his path , So you drew his steps to realize the depth of this great approach, as His Highness Sheikh Abdullah said: “We have come today to say to the world: This is our approach ... and peace is our principle .. and whoever has his beginnings is right, his achievements will be bright.”

Yes, your accomplishments will be bright with the help and grace of God, and in the morning the people will praise the secret, so they will follow the path of peace, and peace be upon you on the day you signed the peace treaty, and on the day the peoples of the region will reap the fruits of peace.
