Spanning the vibrant markets of the Middle East to the bustling cities of North Africa, the construction of 5,000 miles of paved roads stands as a huge testament to the ingenuity and foresight of our ancestors.
These pathways were like veins through which the lifeblood of the empire flowed, connecting diverse communities, facilitating the exchange of ideas, culture, and commodities, whilst knitting together a vast and varied landscape into a cohesive and dynamic entity.
This impressive network of roads symbolises the strength and unification of the Ummah, showcasing an unparalleled commitment to progress, connectivity, and mutual support. It reminds us of the importance of building bridges — both literal and metaphorical — between different parts of our world.
These ancient roads also motivate us to pave our own paths of progress, connecting hearts & minds, and forging ahead with purpose. We can draw from our rich heritage to build a future marked by understanding & shared success.

In the 9th century, nestled in the landscapes of Afghanistan, stood around 400 windmills, showcasing the inventive spirit and environmental consciousness of our ancestors.
These pioneering structures were marvels of engineering; harnessing the wind's power to grind grain and pump water, thereby sustaining communities and agriculture.
They reiterate the Ummah's long-standing commitment to nature, and motivate us to look to the wisdom of the past as we forge a future where sustainability and environmental harmony can guide our path to bettering our community and that of the entire world.

Under the reign of the Fatimid Caliphate thrived a magnificent centre for learning and intelligence in Cairo.
This remarkable concentration of schools, libraries, and universities served to highlight the unparalleled value placed upon education within society.
It was a place where scholars and students from all corners of the globe congregated, seeking and sharing knowledge across many disciplines, from the sciences to the humanities, from theology to philosophy.
The legacy of Cairo during the Fatimid era causes us to value and pursue education, to nurture places of learning, and to foster a culture that treasures knowledge.
In doing so, we honour our past and pave the way for a future bright with understanding and progress.
