When the
news of the departure of the man behind the UAE broke,
gloom descended over the country.
Sheikh Zayed is the
heart of the UAE.. He is the father, founder and
establisher of our great nation. He was a visionary leader
of unlimited giving and loyalty. His endless contributions
to the development and progress of our country made us
what we are today. He left an empty space in our lives and
the loss can never be compensated. Sheikh Zayed is
undoublty one of the greatest leaders history has ever
witnessed. He has done so much for his people. He was an
inspiration, a symbol of love and compassion. He created
morals to our nation and strengthened our values and
principles to advance the UAE. One of his great
achievements are the continuity and unity of the UAE as
well as the love of his people which is clearly reflected
after his demise. He enhanced our lives, transformed the
country and gave support to people in need all around the
globe. May Allah reward Our father Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan
Al Nahyan with eternal paradise.

Words cannot express the sorrow and grief we are living.
One night, I decided to visit the grave of Sheikh Zayed to
read al fat7a, to soothe the agony we were in. As I was at
it, I glimpsed Sheikh Mohammed sitting alone, holding the
Quran and reading in silence. After he finished reading
the holy book, I walked up to Sheikh Mohamed to mourn him
for the loss of his father. The expression on his face
spelled out the bitter feeling that filled his heart. I
guess he too saw the sorrow from my face ,when I nosed him
,he kissed me on my cheeks. That eased my pain so much. It
was then and there when it struck me. At the death of his
beloved father, he was there to console our emotions of
distress. It was comforting to see how caring and
concerned an honourable man like Sheikh Mohamed is at such
a heart aching and breaking tragedy.
