The Monastery of Sir Bani Yas in UAE, which dates back to the 7th century AD, is a shining example of the Arab environment's incubation to the values of tolerance, openness and acceptance of the other, despite the differences of religion, culture and belief. The late Sheikh Zayed saw such monastery, as one of the cultural civilized landmarks that highlights the historical depth of man, and the features that marked the ancient communities settled-in the region, which their history is still embodied until today. The late Sheikh Zayed had consistently affirmed that tolerance is a deep-rooted historical value in UAE and it is not accidental or urgent matter. This was according to Sheikh Zayed's deep understanding of the best manifestations of Islam in the relation with the other and their mutual interact, inspiring our civilization, which fostered the worship places, its assets and people.
