Al Burda Award aims to shed light on the noble life of the Prophet Mohamed (peace be upon
him) and his unique character by celebrating Islamic arts as a gateway for cultural dialogue and
as an integral part of human heritage. The award also seeks to highlight the values and
principles of tolerance by showcasing the beauty of Islamic art, fostering innovation and
creativity, and inspiring younger generations to practice traditional Islamic art forms. The
award represents the Islamic world through the participation of distinguished and talented
individuals, showcasing the rich cultural and intellectual diversity of the Islamic world. The
award supports the broader creative movement and attracts emerging and young talents.

Since its launch in 2004 to commemorate the birth of the Prophet Mohamed (peace be upon
him), Al Burda Award has honoured more than 390 talented individuals from around the world,
including poets, artists, and calligraphers who specialize in Islamic arts. Today, it stands as a
distinguished Emirati platform that celebrates this timeless art form and the rich beauty of the
Arabic language. The award underscores the UAE’s leading role in fostering creativity,
preserving the artistic heritage of Islamic civilization, and promoting exceptional works of art
to a global audience.
