Sheikh Mohammed Shares Timeless Wisdom: Quran's Words Inspire Generations, Son's Captivating Voice Delights
Dubai's ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum praised young Emirati Quran reciter Abdulrahman Al Hammadi, calling his recitation a source of guidance and protection for future generations. The vice president and prime minister of the UAE expressed his joy at hearing the child's beautiful voice during a Quranic recitation.
Sheikh Mohammed shared his appreciation on X (formerly Twitter), writing that "God's words are light, guidance and mercy... God's words are protection and preservation for generations." He added personal prayers for the young reciter's wellbeing and protection.
The praise highlights the UAE leadership's continued emphasis on Islamic values and youth development. Public recognition from senior officials often encourages young talent in religious studies and Quranic recitation across the Emirates.
This kind of official acknowledgment reflects the UAE's approach to balancing modern development with traditional Islamic education. The country has consistently promoted programs that support young people in memorizing and reciting the Quran, viewing it as essential for cultural preservation.
For families and educators in the region, such high-level recognition serves as motivation to continue investing in religious education alongside academic studies. It also demonstrates how the UAE's leadership actively celebrates achievements in Islamic scholarship, not just business and technology sectors.
