His Excellency wrote on X (formerly called twitter),
“We are reminded of the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) worldwide message of kindness, justice, and devotion to humanity on the anniversary of the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) birth. While we work hard to carry on this tradition, we ask Allah, the Most High, to bless the whole globe with tranquility and concord as we go about our work.

Ruler of Dubai’s Message on Prophet’s Birthday
His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai said, “It is almost time for us to celebrate the occasion of the emergence of the one who was superior to all other humans. The dawning of his existence shed light onto the world. The light and wisdom that Prophet (peace be upon him) carried with him permeated the hearts of every single person on the planet. The manner in which he lived his life and the character he had shone a light that will guide us and his ummah till the Day of Judgment.
We renew our love for him on this day of his birth; we renew our obedience to him; we renew the values of mercy and goodness that he brought to the worlds; we congratulate the Islamic nation on this fragrant anniversary; and we pray for him today and every day, equal to the number of creations that our Lord has made; the weight of his throne; and the ink of his words; Amen.”
