We are living in a time where moral and ethical disintegration seems to be the norm, and there is a dire need to correct this situation or at least address it in a wise manner. This conference will highlight that the essential solution to this moral decay lies in turning back to the ways of our Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). The event will bring together outstanding scholars to deliberate on how to reinstate the Prophetic role and his perennial teachings in the continuous process of reforming ourselves and our society in contemporary times.
Orientalism has been rightly held accountable for complicity with colonialism, empire, prejudice, and racism. The wave of critique that was launched against it over the last half century did nothing but insulate it, if not strengthen it, through vaccination and mutation.

COP27
Science has established beyond doubt that the window for action towards climate change is closing rapidly. This month, Egypt will host the 27th Conference of the Parties of the UNFCCC (COP27) in Sharm El-Sheikh, and will assume the incoming Presidency of COP 27 with a clear recognition of the gravity of the global climate challenge and appreciation of the value of multilateral, collective and concerted action as the only means to address this truly global threat.
This forum will include distinguished talks and a roundtable discussion about the opportunities and challenges of a digital metaverse, an immersive digital experience that uses both existing and future integrated platforms.
The metaverse is widely known as the internet’s next frontier and seen as a significant business and financial opportunity for the tech industry and other sectors.
Agenda
Developing socially intelligent machines requires adaptation to users' profiles. Research has shown that in the context of robot-mediated learning environments, different learners' profiles can emerge and each of these profiles engage differently with the robot. Previous research has revealed differences in personality traits among different age groups, genders, and even cultures. However, existing methods have focused on one-size-fits-all approaches only and performed social constructs recognition (e.g. engagement and personality) without taking into consideration the user’s profiles.
