Hardly a day or an hour passes without the word "Knowledge" knocking on our ears time and again through cultural programs, artistic in official media programs and through various social media means, in addition to newspapers and paper and electronic magazines.

What is the secret behind the spread of this word?

And what magic does it possess?

Knowledge is the compass of the mind and its food, and its guide to reaching the science that in turn clarifies perceptions and proves facts. It is the pillar on which enlightened thought is based in perceiving different phenomena, and then explaining them according to methodological and mental foundations. Through knowledge, the secrets of the world around us are revealed and the unknown becomes known and the dream a reality. Knowledge is a power that generates meanings, gives things new meanings, renews concepts and dresses them in fine robes. It is a lden opportunity to enhance cultural blending among the children of humanity in open spaces.

Accumulated human knowledge in its various types, multiple directions and diverse backgrounds illuminated the path for humans throughout the ages, expanded the horizons of their awareness and doubled their ambitions. They traveled space, plowed the seas and oceans and probed the depths of the earth, to build civilizations that reflect the massive capabilities of the human being who is but the ambassador of the Almighty Creator to the globe.

In the current era, the human mind doubled the scope of its questions and curiosity and turned fantasies into tangible facts revealing the veils of place and time. It brought the far near and shortened distances and times through the technological development that manifested in the digital revolution witnessed by the world, as the world became a cosmic village whose farthest ends connect with its nearest and news and events move from one continent to another in the blink of an eye through a screen no larger than the palm of the hand. The human mind does not stop at these limits, but went on to internalize the secrets of the human soul, and remove the veil from many of its precise components, to present new theories and innovative knowledge that enriched the cultural scene in the field of human development and self-development, and inspired pioneering youth forces with creative ideas that carry in their folds the spirit of giving, the meaning of achievement, the power of influence and making a difference.

In a related context, knowledge deepens awareness, elevates thinking and moves the human from a limited square to infinite spaces. It helps in understanding the self and identifying areas of personal inclination, in addition to being it paves the way for societies to exchange experiences and skills, which expands the scopes of thought and generates new courses that benefit all of humanity with more profit.

There is no doubt that knowledge is the best way to extend bridges of dialogue and constructive communication to achieve cultural understanding between peoples, something that accelerates the wheel of human development at all levels and enhances opportunities for sustainable peace, and leaves a useful civilizational legacy for future generations.

The question remains: how do we obtain knowledge? And how do we employ it in the wise direction?

History has not known an era in which the means of monopolizing knowledge were undermined and the channels of obtaining it were available as in this era, which provided the near and far with enormous energies for communication, developing capabilities, enhancing skills and inventing ideas and initiatives, and provided everyone with great opportunities to manage the rudder of change through strategic projects accompanied by noble and absolute human for a better and more beautiful tomorrow for the whole world.

The matter did not stop at that, but exceeded it to make knowledge a basic resource of the resources of states' economies through reproducing it professionally and with focus, and putting it in creative templates to be invested and marketed to support learning programs and diverse software in institutions of upbringing and education and to contribute to making flexible knowledge societies in a way that suits the changes of the era and keeps pace with the accelerating wheel of development.

In conclusion, the most beautiful face of knowledge is represented in making dialogue, laying the rules of understanding, undermining the causes of difference, removing the imaginary barriers between man and his fellow man, caring for meeting points and accepting difference and diversity, and utilizing them in enriching knowledge and supplying it with a new spirit.

With od will, the boat of life moves smoothly towards the shores of safety and peace, and with sincere determination and diligent efforts, the rapprochement and coalition between all human societies is achieved. Also, enhancing human commonalities is a giant step towards building and a great opportunity for all of humanity towards a world where stability and safety prevail and the suns of prosperity and peace shine in its sky.

And when positive energy runs through the souls, concord and affection shine, and the paths of hope expand, and spaces of understanding increase, and the flower of tolerance and coalition smells, and the bonds of intimacy strengthen, and odness and prosperity prevail in all parts of the globe.
