Beneath the vast and endless skies,

Where golden sands in silence rise,

A land of dreams, both bold and bright,

Awakes each dawn in radiant light.

From desert’s heart, where winds do dance,

To shores where azure waters glance,

A nation stands, both strong and free,

A testament to destiny.

Tall towers pierce the heavens' grace,

Their glass a mirror to the place

Where past and future intertwine,

And visions soar, by stars aligned.

In twilight’s glow, the city hums,

Where ancient roots and progress come,

A melting pot of cultures grand,

United by a single hand.

From Al Ain's gardens, lush and green,

To Dubai’s streets where dreams are seen,

The spirit thrives, unbreakable,

A tale of triumph, unforgettable.

The falcon soars, with wings unfurled,

A symbol of this wondrous world,

Where courage leads, and hearts unite,

And hope’s a flame that burns so bright.

Oh UAE, in you we find

The past, the present, intertwined—

A nation born from sands and skies,

Where faith and future harmonize.

A beacon to the world you stand,

A triumph wrought by heart and hand,

O desert star, O city’s crown,

Forever rise, forever shine.

#ZayedAndRashid #UaeForever Beneath the sun’s eternal glow,
Where desert winds and whispers flow,
A land of vision, bold and free,
Rises proud—the UAE.

Golden dunes like oceans gleam,
A timeless tale, a boundless dream.
Oasis springs in arid lands,
Life awakened by human hands.

Skyscrapers pierce the azure sky,
A testament to reaching high.
From Burj Khalifa's lofty view,
The world beholds a future new.

Pearls of the past, the sea's embrace,
Echoes of heritage in every space.
Souks bustling with scents and sound,
A melting pot where all are found.

With every mosque, the call to prayer,
Faithful hearts find solace there.
Yet harmony blooms, side by side,
In diversity, the nation’s pride.

From Abu Dhabi’s stately grace
To Dubai’s ever-changing face,
Ras Al Khaimah to Fujairah’s shore,
Each emirate adds to the core.

A bridge of East and West combined,
A haven for the open mind.
Forward strides, yet roots remain,
In every grain of desert plain.

The UAE, a shining star,
Guiding dreams both near and far.
A legacy built by hearts and hands,
A tale of hope across the sands.

SHEIKH ZAYED BIN SULTAN

The late founder of the UAE, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan aspired to build a mosque personifying the moderation of Islam. This vision became a reality with the construction of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, one of the largest mosques in the world and a prominent landmark in the Emirates of Abu Dhabi. The United Arab Emirates is a federation of seven emirates, with Abu Dhabi as its capital, located in the Western Asia on the Eastern Coast of the Arabian Peninsula. The seven emirates are: Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah.

Known as the Father of the Nation for his role in forming the United Arab Emirates, the late HH Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan was the first President of the UAE. He served in this position since the formation of the UAE on 2 December 1971 until he passed away in 2004. Zayed was born at Qasr al-Hosn, Abu Dhabi, in 1918 and moved from Abu Dhabi to Al Ain in 1926, after the death of his father. As Zayed was growing up in Al-Ain, there were no modern schools anywhere along the coast. He revised local water ownership rights to ensure a more equitable distribution, which led to agricultural development and re-establishment of the oasis as the predominant market center. His city planning in Al Ain helped ensure that today, the city is one of the greenest in Arabia. He wasn't an ordinary personality. He was very sincere and wise. Everyone could feel his honest wish to live and let live. He focused on his own country providing the right platform to transform it into an economic powerhouse and an advanced and a successful nation.

In honour of our late Founding Father of the UAE, HH Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, 2018 has been announced as the ‘Year of Zayed’ as to commemorate the achievements of the creator of the UAE.

2018 will mark 100 years since the birth of HH Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, and thus in honour of what shall be a great year, here are ten facts about our founding father that you probably didn’t know about. One foundation of his philosophy as a leader and statesman was that the resources of the country should be fully used to the benefit of the people, including the women of the UAE who benefited of his vision of education, employment and equality. Sheikh Zayed achieved unification through patience and consultation. He prioritized bringing all stakeholders to consensus over authoritarian tactics. This inclusive approach strengthened when establishing national institutions like the Federal National Council to formally represent public voices.

As the country’s ruler, Sheikh Zayed introduced a formal government structure with departments developed to handle specific tasks. He assigned public officials to build basic housing facilities, schools, health services, and the construction of an airport, seaport, roads, and a bridge to link Abu Dhabi to the mainland. Additional financial resources were also spent on planting trees in Al Ain in order to transform Abu Dhabi into a green city. Sheik Zayed was the first statesman to call for a union. He quickly realized that for Abu Dhabi to prosper, it needed to cooperate with its tribal neighbors.

His first step was to meet with the then-ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum. The meeting was held on February 19, 1968, at Samih, where the idea of a united Arab nation under one flag was discussed. This was followed by an agreement signed on February 27, 1968, which would form a federation of nine emirates (Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Bahrain, Dubai, Fujairah, Ras al-Khaimah, Sharjah, Qatar and Umm al-Quwain). Eventually, on December 2, 1971, a federation of six emirates (Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Fujairah, Sharjah, Umm al-Quwain) formed the United Arab Emirates. Sheikh Zayed was elected president and Sheikh Rashid was elected vice-president. Shortly afterward, on February 11, 1972, Ras Al Khaimah officially joined the federation.

In my opinion, I think that he was an amazing leader and father to his family because of the changes he made along the way. Not only did he inspire but he created a better life for those in need. He will be remembered for now and forever. I hope this earns me a spot for one of the best descriptions and stories of the leader.

The history of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is rooted in the Bedouin traditions of the Arabian Peninsula. The region was historically composed of various tribal sheikhdoms, with the area known for trade, pearl diving, and its strategic location along maritime routes. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, it was a British protectorate, which helped stabilize the region amidst local conflicts. On December 2, 1971, six emirates—Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Umm Al-Quwain, Fujairah, and Ajman—unified to form the UAE, with Ras Al Khaimah joining shortly afterward. The country’s rapid modernization, fueled by oil discoveries, transformed it into a global economic and cultural hub while retaining its rich cultural heritage.

All the things we have achieved due the optimism and leadership of Sheikh Zayed and Rashid have done many monumental things, they have directed the creation of amazing infrastructure, they brought irrigation and food resources to the emirates and most of all, they united them to make one great nation. And remember, they did this in a span of around half a century. They will also be remembered by the rest of the world for their respective roles in bringing tourism to the U.A.E, and condemning and taking action globally against drug use. All of this shows the importance of their efforts to bring the U.A.E to the place it is today.

🇦🇪✨ "From the sands of the desert to the heights of the world, they built a legacy that will never fade." ✨🇦🇪

Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan and Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum were not just leaders—they were fathers to a nation, visionaries who believed that greatness was possible, even in the harshest conditions of the desert. They took a land of scattered tribes a and separated Emirates  and turned it into a symbol of unity, prosperity, and hope for millions. Their dream was not just for the present, but for generations to come, and today, we live in the glow of their achievements and it makes the UAE what it is today.

Sheikh Zayed, the Founding father of the nation (رحمه الله) taught us that true leadership lies in humility. He once said,
"الثروة الحقيقية ليست ثروة المال، بل هي ثروة الرجال، ولا فائدة في المال إذا لم يُسخر لصالح الشعب."

His actions reflected his words. He built schools where there was once only sand, planted forests in barren deserts, and ensured every citizen had access to the opportunities they deserved. His vision was rooted in peace, sustainability, and an unwavering belief in the power of unity.

Sheikh Rashid, brother in Islam and in this journey, embodied ambition and determination. Where others saw limitations, he saw potential. Dubai, under his leadership, transformed from a small coastal town to a global powerhouse. His ability to look to the future while honoring the past gave the UAE its balance—a respect for tradition paired with the courage to innovate. He envisioned a city that would bring the world to our shores and succeeded beyond imagination. 🌆📈

Together, these two great men achieved what many thought impossible. They united a fragmented region, built a thriving economy, and gave the world a model of what leadership, collaboration, and resilience could achieve. They gave us a nation we are proud to call home—a land where culture and modernity coexist, where ambition has no limits, and where every citizen stands tall.

Their legacy is not just found in skyscrapers or monuments, but in the hearts of every Emirati and citizen in this country. It’s in the pride we feel when we see the UAE flag waving high, the gratitude we carry when we walk through streets safely without any problems and the determination we share to honor their dream by building an even brighter future. But, let us never forget the sacrifices they made, the challenges they overcame, and the unity they inspired. Let us continue their work by keeping their values alive: compassion, ambition, and above all, love for this great nation. ❤️🇦🇪

Sheikh Rashid, was asked about the future of his country. He replied, "My grandfather rode a camel, my father rode a camel, I ride a Mercedes, my son rides a Land Rover, and my grandson is going to ride a Land Rover…but my great-grandson is going to have to ride a camel again."

Today, we honor them not just as leaders, but as legends. Their vision will echo through history, and their story will forever inspire us to dream big, work hard, and always remain united.
