Jumatatu Posted November 2, 2004 "The royal court announces to Arab and Islamic countries and the rest of the world the death of the leader of the nation Shaikh Zayid bin Sultan al-Nahayan on Tuesday evening," said an announcement read out on Abu Dhabi television. Shaikh Zayed Al Nahyan is widely considered one of the most successful gulf Arab rulers, having led his home state Abu Dhabi and the larger federation in which it forms apart of, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), for over 30 years of stability and prosperity. Illah ha uu naxaristo, He has done a lot for Somalia and Somalis throughout his time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We are in the last ten days of Ramadan; I pray that Allah 4give him and reward him the Heaven. Amiin. Ina lelah wa ina elayhi rajecon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NGONGE Posted November 2, 2004 Allah yerxamoh. As far as I am aware, he was a very good man. He shared the wealth of his country with his people and was (when actively ruling the land) very good to all the foreigners in it. He helped many a Muslim country and contributed to many good causes. I’m one that grew under his rule and benefited from his generosity (of course all thanks goes to Allah first and foremost). Still, when talking about one man’s gratitude to another, I can’t help but sing the praises of that kind old man. Most obituaries will attest to the kindness and humanity of that good sheikh. Lets hope those left behind don’t start fighting for the “inheritance†and destroy all that he helped in building. May The Almighty have mercy on him and forgive his sins. Edit: His photo is the one in my Avatar for those who didn't know what he looked like. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
