late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, may God have mercy on him, "Zayed the Good," is an enduring humanitarian symbol who embodied boundless giving. He taught us that charitable work builds people before places. His benevolent deeds and humanitarian initiatives, which reached the far corners of the earth, will remain a beacon of humanity. May God have mercy on him, he will forever be remembered as "the man of goodness."
He, may God have mercy on him, was keen to instill in the hearts of his sons, the sons of the Emirates, the highest principles, values, and qualities. They followed his path in all fields, continuing to be guided by his thought and virtues, always remembering his character and deeds, which Emiratis and the world at large constantly celebrate and praise. The late Sheikh Zayed believed that doing good is a noble virtue. When a person does good, they receive reward and recompense from God Almighty in this life and the hereafter. It is enough for them to gain the love and respect of others, because doing good is the cornerstone of building cohesive societies and the greatest act of worship that draws a servant closer to their Lord. It is not limited to material giving, but also includes kind words and psychological support. Goodness bears the fruit of inner happiness, peace of mind, and achieves social solidarity.
