Saudi- SCTA stresses conservation of Islamic historical sites
(MENAFN- Arab News) Prince Sultan bin Salman president of the Saudi Commission for Tourism & Antiquities (SCTA) stressed recently the importance of conserving Islamic history sites.
''When we study Islamic history we realize that Islam is a religion of civilization and prosperity'' he said during his speech at the Mohammad bin Saud Islamic University on heritage preservation efforts. "We should highlight and demonstrate the civilized aspects of it since the early times'' Prince Salman said.
''Delivering the right message of Islam to the world and a true understanding of this great religion is all the more important especially in times when the image of Islam is distorted overseas by misguided people'' he stressed.
He added that the aim of the SCTA and the rest of the education centers in the Kingdom is to work side by side with all universities to strengthen and continue the mutual understanding of Islamic history and the civilizations that preceded Islam.
He added that Islam did not spread on a vacuum but rather it emerged from very influential economic and cultural centers such as Makkah and Madinah which were the hubs of ancient trade caravans.
''Saudi Arabia is a major success story. It was built on faith moderation and Islamic values of tolerance and cooperation. We want to consolidate our understanding of our country''s history through new thinking to appreciate the true value of this homeland and its great epic of unification which was based on the aspects of religious and social affinities'' he said.
He added that the SCTA works in accordance with the directives of King Salman and in accordance with the guidelines of the late King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz in the field of conservation and development of the cultural heritage of the Kingdom.
