| Safeguarding the beauty of 'The Arabian bride' ---------------------------------------------- [A massive awareness campaign has begun in Sharjah, the 'Bride of Arabia' to promote decency and good conduct in public. A booklet released in multiple languages (Arabic, English, French, German, Russian, Urdu and Malayalam) will be distributed to all residents of the emirate. The booklet is also available in shopping malls, hotels, Sharjah International Airport, tour operators, travel agencies and airline offices. It comes to effect on September 26. Public employees are to provide instructions, advice and clarifications to the violators, keeping goodwill as the basis of the interaction.] It is fact that societies differ in societies differ in perception of issues and vision. A conservative society is the one that can accommodate all ethnicities and religious persuasions with their diverse habits and norms, while successfully providing them self respect and human rights. It can also preserve the social structure and the integrity of the family by maintaining a high standard of moral conduct. That society should be capable of preserving moral decency, whether in private or public, avoiding immoral behavior that threatens its very existence and safety. As believers in enjoying the benefit of modern civilization and technology, we feel compelled to preserve our specific heritage and social values. These values are based on certainty that clean environment and healthy safe habits between diverse ethnicities and cultures, can only function in environment that encourage human virtues and are guided by honorable morals. In concurrence with the rules and decent conduct, and in expressing society's conscious need to stand against indecency, and to preserve public civility, and to clarify that proper concept of personal freedom of safeguarding other's rights. It is vital to adhere to and execute these directives (No. 1) for the year 2001 in the Emirate of Sharjah. 1.Decency: decency is a behavior or an attitude that conforms to the commonly accepted standards of what is right and respectable. Its broad and universal meaning was proclaimed by all heavenly and religious practices. It is the collection of practices that keep a human from falling into wrong. Decency is against vulgarity and shamelessness. It is the opposite of indecency in appearance and speech. Decency is the basis of all honorable values. That which is civilized as opposed to immoral and degenerate, sophisticated instead of harsh and rude in the epitome of decency. It is one of the natural habits, and a virtue in all religions. Adherence to it is an act of worship, and practicing it is virtue. It results in comfort for all. Its adherents will be rewarded and the negligent will be in sin.
