Salah Bukhatir leads prayers during Ramadan nights

The Bukhatir Group is one of the most diversified business enterprises of the UAE, with commercial verticals in industries ranging from Contracting, Development, Education, Industrial, Sports and Leisure, as well as Trading and Services. Spearheading the conglomerate is its Chairman, Salah Bukhatir, a visionary business magnate who has successfully managed subsidiaries of the group for over 3 decades.

In addition to his accolades as a business mogul, Bukhatir also dons the moniker of a Quran reciter, with millions of views on his recitations, and has been leading the Tahajjud prayers, at the Sheikh Saud Al Qasimi Mosque in Sharjah, for over 30 years during the holy month of Ramadan.

Salah Bukhatir’s passion for blending worldly knowledge with faith-based teachings led him to pioneer the establishment of the Creative Science schools. Operating under the banners of the American School of Creative Science (ASCS) and the International School of Creative Science (ISCS), the schools’ ethos is derived from the values; Excellence, Creativity, Leadership, Collaboration, and Tolerance, traits that develop core life skills, which Bukhatir abides by.

The Creative Science schools encompass a 20-year legacy of imparting academic excellence, delivered in state-of-the-art, faith-based environments, resulting in attracting students from over 70 nationalities, aggregating their total student base to over 9,000. At their core, the schools strive to bestow Islamic values and nurture individuals with strong morals, by teaching the Noble Quran with Tajweed.

In addition to the prospect of a bright future, students are encouraged to memorise the Holy Quran by offering special awards and scholarships. Over 200 students have received awards for Quran memorisation after undergoing rigorous written and oral examinations that were supervised by Bukhatir himself.

Testament to their system, students from the Creative Science schools have attained a multitude of accomplishments such as the Highest Marks in the World, the Middle East, and the UAE, along with school alumni who are currently employed in the fields of Aerospace Engineering and Neurosciences.
