http://www.brunei-online.com/bb/fri/oct17h1.htmMuslims like any other people also wish to live in peace and prosperity and contribute their talents, knowledge and skills to humanity, said His Majesty the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam in his address at the Summit of Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC) in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.
Delivering a thought-provoking titah in the General Debate of the OIC Summit, the Brunei ruler said that history has demonstrated the contributions Muslims have made to human progress until today.
His Majesty also said that there was a time in human history when greatest advances in knowledge were taken from Muslim scholars and shared with the rest of the world.
His Majesty believed that human achievements owed a great deal to Islamic scholars, thinkers, artists and scientists. All this was founded on moral imperatives, said His Majesty.
His Majesty also said that a lot of these encouragements are from the Islamic faith which allows Muslims to discover, seek information and work constructively with others. His Majesty further stated that these achievements are a matter of enormous pride and self-respect for the Muslim people.
