The United Arab Emirates is distinguished for its cultural diversity and high standard of tolerance. When Bahá'ís in the UAE instill the principles of their faith in their children and youth, or express these same principles through community service, they find themselves in harmony with others who share a similar vision. Together, they work to promote values of love, cooperation, and unity for the betterment of the society they live in and deeply cherish.
They are committed to the prosperity of all, recognizing that the welfare of individuals rests in the welfare of society at large. They are loyal citizens who eschew partisanship and the contest for worldly power. Instead, they are focused on transcending differences, harmonizing perspectives, and promoting the use of consultation for making decisions. They emphasize qualities and attitudes—such as trustworthiness, cooperation, and forbearance—that are building blocks of a stable social order. They champion rationality and science as essential for human progress.
