Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan

في يوم العلم يزداد فخرنا براية العز والمجد التي تظلنا..ويتعمق تصميمنا على أن نبقيها دائماً رمزاً عالمياً للتميز والتقدم والتفرد..واليوم ونحن نرفع العلم عاليا فوق رؤوسنا نستلهم من دماء الشهداء التي سالت دفاعا عنه، القوة والعزم لجعل الإمارات في المقدمة في كل المجالات.



The UAE flag is, and will always remain, a symbol of peace and progress. On Flag Day, we remember the martyrs who sacrificed their lives to defend their flag, and we remind ourselves of the UAE’s determination to be at the forefront of development.

HH Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan

Nations prosper by respecting and appreciating themselves, immortalising their national figures and by committing to values of solidarity and participation. 

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum

Camels exhibit a number of unique characteristics and are of great importance to the UAE’s heritage. The attention given to them stretches back thousands of years and is a part of the care we give to the heritage of this land.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum

His Highness Sheikh Zayed started his project alone…by installing an awareness in the people of the Emirates of the joint destiny of their small homeland and their larger home extending from the ocean to the Gulf.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum

A nation cannot have a civilised heritage…unless it is blessed by Allah with loyal and honest leaders, who can steer the ship of history and civilisation to safe shores, with optimism whether the days are sunny or rainy.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum

Before evaluating the future, we have to take a quick look at the past, for it is the foundation of tomorrow.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum

Before evaluating the future, we have to take a quick look at the past, for it is the foundation of tomorrow.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum

We have to make history and approach the future with steady steps, not wait for the future to come to us.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum

We have succeeded because we have always believed that tomorrow is a new day, that yesterday's achievements are in the past and that history will record what we achieve in the future, not what we have achieved in the past.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum

Unlike others, we are not content to settle for what was accomplished in the past, because life doesn't stop and it doesn't care about those who stop because they are content with what they have achieved.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum

We are proud of our past and our present and we face the future with unflagging determination.

Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan

Many countries go to war and then towards reconciliation. The history of mankind is full of stories of wars between people and states that have come together after fighting for long. Why can't Arabs be like them?

Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan

Our experiment in federation, in the first instance, arose from a desire to increase the ties that bind us, as well as from the conviction of everyone that they were part of one family, and that they must gather under one leadership.

Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan

There is no glory without the glory of the country and its citizens. We have to be proud of our forefathers, who were able to face the harshness of life with a strong will and dedication to shape a better collective future.

Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan

On land and in the sea, our forefathers lived and survived in this environment. They were able to do so only because they recognized the need to conserve it, to take from it only what they needed to live, and to preserve it for succeeding generations.

“لقد عاش آباؤنا وأجدادنا على هذه الأرض وتعايشوا مع بيئتنا في البر والبحر وأدركوا بالفطرة وبالحس المرهف الحاجة للمحافظة عليها وأن يأخذوا منها قدر احتياجاتهم فقط ويتركوا منها ما تجد فيه الأجيال القادمة مصدراً للخير ونبعاً للعطاء”

Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan

Our people have managed in 36 years to bring about achievements that went beyond conception and imagination: a model experience of federation, an outstanding human development, a modern infrastructure, basic modern services, great economic successes, educated man, prosperity, well-being, and security.

Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan

What fruits and welfare we have reaped throughout the past years, make us more certain and confident about the capacity of our people to carry the strategies and plans to their intended goals and objectives.

Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan

“الأمة التي لا ماضي لها هي أمة بلا حاضر ولا مستقبل، ولقد كانت أمتنا والحمد لله غنية بماضيها التليد، وحضارتها الزاهية الضاربة بجذورها في أعماق هذه الأرض عبر أحقاب طويلة من الزمن، لذلك فان هذه الجذور الأصيلة ستظل تورق وتزهر في حاضر أمتنا المجيد ومستقبلها المرموق”

A nation without a past is a nation without a present or a future. Thanks to God, our nation has a flourishing civilisation, deep-rooted in this land for many centuries. These roots will always flourish and bloom in the glorious present of our nation and in its anticipated future.

Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan

من لا يعرف ماضيه لا يستطيع أن يعيش حاضره ومستقبله. فمن الماضي نتعلم ونكتسب الخبرة ونستفيد من الدروس والنتائج. 

He who does not know his past cannot make the best of his present and future, for it is from the past that we learn.

Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan

Thirty years ago we had no buildings, and when we saw buildings in other countries we used to envy them and wonder how we could convince our people to be satisfied with what they had.
