UAE's Sheikh Abdullah Calls For Support Of AED

1 Billion Mothers’ Endowment Campaign

By OneArabia

In a significant move to support education in underprivileged communities, Sheikh Abdullah bin
Bayyah, Chairman of the UAE Fatwa Council and Head of the Abu Dhabi Forum for Peace, has
urged community members and institutions to back the Mothers’ Endowment campaign. This
initiative, spearheaded by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice
President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, aims to establish an AED 1 billion endowment
fund. The campaign, organized by the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives
(MBRGI) and coinciding with the holy month of Ramadan, offers a unique opportunity for
individuals to donate in their mothers' names as a tribute.
The proceeds from this campaign will be directed towards launching educational projects in
partnership with humanitarian organizations, focusing on aiding those in underprivileged areas.
Sheikh Bin Bayyah highlighted the UAE's longstanding commitment to charity, noting that such
initiatives have become a hallmark of the nation's leadership. The Mothers’ Endowment
campaign follows the successful ‘1 Billion Meals Endowment’, further solidifying the UAE's
position as a leader in humanitarian efforts.

Sheikh Bin Bayyah extended congratulations to the UAE’s leadership and its people on the
advent of Ramadan, emphasizing the importance of endowments in Islam as a means of
ongoing charity. He underscored that endowments serve as a powerful tool for fostering
solidarity and supporting those in need within the community. The initiative is particularly
poignant during Ramadan, a time characterized by compassion and generosity.
