The event marked the beginning of the yearlong programme titled The Legacy Project 1500, under the theme "A message of mercy, environmental awareness and social justice".

A diverse programme of events for the year is planned that will feature a rich tapestry of local and international events.

A new dawn, "Embracing Islam with purpose and peace", reflects transformative experience of reverting to Islam.

The programme will honour the journey of discovering truth, finding inner peace and integrating into a new spiritual path with clarity, intention and tranquillity.
