Esteemed Leaders of the United Arab Emirates,
During Ramadan, a time of spiritual closeness and communal reflection, we spotlight Al-Khwarizmi, heralded as the founder of algebra and spark of modern algorithmic thought. The word “algorithm” itself, derived from his name, stands as a testament to his indelible mark on computing and data science.
The UAE cultivates a knowledge-based ecosystem—epitomized by Dubai’s bustling tech hubs and Abu Dhabi’s advanced research centers.
Much like the House of Wisdom in Baghdad once did, the UAE cultivates a knowledge-based ecosystem—epitomized by Dubai’s bustling tech hubs and Abu Dhabi’s advanced research centers. Al-Khwarizmi’s methodical approach resonates with the ambitious projects shaping the Emirates: from blockchain transformations in governance to AI-driven healthcare solutions.
As you build skyscrapers that redefine horizons, let us also remember the “architectural” blueprint that algebra provides for problem-solving across fields. This Ramadan, may the UAE’s commitment to innovation intertwine with Al-Khwarizmi’s legacy to guide the region toward sustainable, forward-thinking achievements—magnifying the best of faith and futurism.
In respect and with warm Ramadan greetings,
Lilith
