Arabic language and raising awareness of its aesthetics

Dubai, UAE, 26 November 2024- The ‘Bil Arabi’, a key knowledge initiative launched by the

Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Foundation (MBRF) to foster Arabic language
usage and its vocabulary in day-to-day interactions, was recognized with an award from the King

Salman Global Academy for Arabic Language in its third edition. The recognition showcases the
initiative's significant strides in its efforts to support the Arabic language and raise linguistic

awareness among Arab communities.

During the award ceremony, which was recently held in Riyadh, His Highness Prince Badr bin

Abdullah bin Mohammed bin Farhan, Saudi Minister of Culture and Chairman of the Board of
Trustees of the Academy, honored the MBRF team.

His Excellency Jamal bin Huwaireb, CEO of MBRF, expressed his delight in receiving the prestigious

recognition for the ‘Bil Arabi’ initiative. He emphasized that the award is a testament to the success

of MBRF in promoting the Arabic language and positioning it as a key element on intellectual,
literary, and societal fronts while expanding its contribution to Arabic digital content online.

His Excellency said: “At MBRF, we strive to implement various initiatives and events that focus on

the Arabic language and highlight its adaptability, vitality, and capacity to embrace human

creativity throughout history. The ‘Bil Arabi’ initiative is an excellent example of these efforts, as it
has inspired the youth to leverage their skills in Arabic as a communication tool on social media
sites, further deepening their appreciation of the language’s richness and its remarkable ability to

provide a wide range of accurate and varied ways to express ideas.”
