Sheikh Zayed’s Legacy: A Beacon of Morals and Values

The late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the founding father of the UAE, remains an enduring symbol of noble values and high ethics. Emiratis and residents alike affirm that his legacy continues to live in their hearts and that “morals come first” is a defining trait of the UAE’s people.

A Call to Uphold Values in the Digital World

As social media usage grows, so does the need to maintain ethics and values in digital interactions. Abdullah Al Hamed urged people to follow Sheikh Zayed’s example in both words and actions, emphasizing the power of kindness, humility, and respect in the online world.

He also encouraged everyone to be ambassadors of noble values such as generosity and tolerance, ensuring that their digital presence reflects Sheikh Zayed’s humanitarian vision.

Commitment to the National Media Office’s Guidelines

Following the National Media Office’s statement, many citizens and residents reaffirmed their dedication to the principles outlined, urging people to embody the unique character of Emiratis on social media and avoid responding to negativity.

A social media user, “Sword,” noted that the statement applies to both Emiratis and residents, encouraging compliance with the leadership’s directives. Similarly, Jamal Al Kaabi emphasized the clarity of the statement, stressing the importance of not engaging with online provocations.

Sheikh Zayed: A School of Humanity and Giving

Followers across social media unanimously agreed that Sheikh Zayed was more than just a leader—he was a global humanitarian icon and a symbol of boundless generosity.
