Al Shamsi: “Zayed Al-Khair” embodied, through word and action, the concept of humanity among all people.

His Excellency Abdulaziz Ahmed Al Shamsi, Director General of Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department, stated that “Zayed Humanitarian Day”, which falls on the 19th of Ramadan every year, is a special bright mark in the history of the country and the region. This day consolidates the good deeds, and promotes the values of tolerance, love and giving across the world, which are the values that the founding father, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, instilled in the hearts of all the people of the UAE, until it became one of the most important features of the Emirati citizen’s personality.

Al Shamsi added saying “this day honours a wise inspiring leader, and a great Arab and international figure, whose name was associated with giving and generosity, and who embodied by word and action the concept of humanity among all people regardless of their race, belief, or color. Humans were equal in the eyes of “Zayed Al Kair”, which made the UAE and its people internationally appreciated and praised for their firm humanitarian principles.”

In addition, His Excellency pointed out that the value of the development and humanitarian aid, that was launched from the UAE since the establishment of the country in 1971 until the passing of Sheikh Zayed in 2004, amounted to more than AED 90.5 billion, and the number of countries that benefited from this aid reached more than 117 countries in various parts of the world. Moreover, Sheikh Zayed, may God have mercy on him, also established the “Abu Dhabi Fund for Development” (ADFD) in 1971, to support the people other countries by contributing to the development projects in their countries.

Al Shamsi stated that the hearts of the Emirati people carry all the love, pride and respect for Sheikh Zayed, for the comfort, safety, and prosperity which he provided to the UAE and its people.
