Prince Alwaleed believes that it is his duty as a good Muslim to use his influence and broad connections to promote understanding and peace between people, and to improve the lives and prospects of those in need, regardless of nationality, race, or creed. As a lifelong student of Islam, he is proud to live his life according to the religion’s five pillars.
