The Zayed House for Islamic Culture was founded by decree No. 10 of 2005, issued by the President, His Highness Shaikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan.  ZHIC pays great attention to the rightly guided (new Muslims), providing them with maximum care, enlightening them with Islamic culture, as well as trying to absorb them in the Muslim society, and also to inform non-Muslims about the essence of Islam, its spirit of forgiveness, its core value and what it stands for; far away from any bigotry or any religious enthusiasm.
