CORE SUBJECT
Project to Promote Reading and Knowledge
As we bid farewell to the Year of Tolerance and prepare for the Year of the Family, my team and I have prepared a book titled "365 Books/Day" to reshape our relationship as a community, family, and individuals with reading. This book is not just a traditional composition but a comprehensive knowledge project presented as a humanitarian initiative, inspired by the UAE's motto "Knowledge to Benefit From." It serves as a library in a book, containing summaries of 365 books, one for each day of the year. The essence of the idea is simple yet profound: one page daily summarizing an entire book, making reading an easy habit that does not require a long time or exhausting effort.
The book "365" presents a unique vision based on the concept of knowledge sustainability through activating the skills of reading and writing. Just as the UAE has sought to instill the word sustainability over the two years of sustainability, this word has transformed into a belief that has become a project for sustaining knowledge that must be invested in and preserved through practical initiatives that cultivate a love of reading, writing, and exchanging knowledge among family members and society. The book draws its spirit from the first word in the Quran, "Read," a word that marked the starting point of Islamic civilization and today becomes the motto of an initiative aiming to establish an Arab generation that reads daily, even if only one page, and encourages learning by recording what they have learned, in application of the verse: "Who taught by the pen." The idea breaks the psychological barrier to reading and writing, restoring them to our lives as an indispensable daily habit.
In summary, what distinguishes the book is that it does not stop at the borders of the Arab world but carries an ambition for global reach. The idea is applicable in any society and in any language because it addresses a shared human need: the desire for knowledge and the search for easy and sustainable ways to acquire it. In this sense, "365 Books a Day" becomes a cultural bridge linking East and West, making the exchange of knowledge a means of acquaintance and tolerance among people, in application of the verse: "And We made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another."
