Sheikh Zayed's death is an irreparable loss: officials ABU DHABI, 4 Nov, 04 (WAM) - The demise of the President, His Highness Shaikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan has saddened all and sundry.
A number of government officials government officials who expressed their heart-felt grief over one of the saddest times in the history of the country, the +Khaleej Times+ said in a report.
Mohamed bin Hindi, Assistant Under-Secretary at the Ministry of Education said:" Our hearts are full of sadness and sorrow at the irreparable loss. The achievements and the legacy of the deceased were proof and evidence not only in the UAE, but in all Arab countries whether in upgrading the standard of man or ingrain the indigenous and intrinsic values.
The great deeds of late Shaikh Zayed can be seen in the great development, interest in education and the citizens.
What can I say about a man who laid the nucleus of the federation, reinforce its edifice and made the UAE to have its place along with the advanced and civilised countries in the world. His great works, generosity and magnanimity cannot be forgotten. Shaikh Zayed's generosity was limitless.
We comfort ourselves and condole the sad demise of the father and leader, Sheikh Zayed, who we pray to Allah to reward him for each and every good work he has done and be added to his credit of good deeds at the day of judgment.
Dr Jamal Al Meheiry, Under-Secretary of MoEY: "Our loss is tremendous for the demise of this outstanding figure. I am speechless and no words can suffice to express our deep heartfelt sorrow.
We are consoled by the fact that he has taught us, as a father, a teacher and an exceptional leader, cardinal and excellent ethics.
This woeful and appalling loss has affected not only the Emirates people, but the whole Arab World as well.
He has united the gulf countries and established the GCC (Arab Gulf Cooperation Council). His demise is a grave misfortune and has left us all spellbound.
Khawla Al Muala, Assistant Under-Secretary of MoEY: The whole Arab nation has had an irretrievable grieving loss. Sheikh Zayed was a godfather to those, who dearly loved him and to the Gulf countries at large.
People's love for him emerges from God's love for him. People are deep in sorrow and distress. They will never cease grieving for him. Our tears shall never run dry for he is a unique leader exalted by everybody, women, men, juvenile and even children.
Ever since the broadcast of his death, I have received sincere condolences from former friends and teachers, who have left the country a long time ago. His death has left us all stunned.' Jomaah Al Salamy, Assistant Undersecretary of MoEY: "We have no say in the matter. It is God's will and we cannot but reverentially comply with and succumb to the Lord's wishes.
The Arab nation has lost its illuminating guide, its wise instructor and its most discreet leader. The gross emptiness subsequent to his demise is irreplaceable.
Shaikh Zayed is a renowned historical figure that can never ever recur.
He was always there for those in need, whether it be his own people or any other people in the Arab and Muslim worlds.
The deceased saved no effort to unite the Arabs and Muslims alike. He always aimed at realising the solidarity and overcoming the obstacles, the disputes and the problems of the Arab world.
Dr Ahmed Saad Al Sharif, Assistant Under-Secretary of the Ministry of Education: We hope that the period of Shaikh Zayed's rule has yielded fruit, after he educated and trained men who can cement his achievements.
We also hope that the achievements made by Shaikh Zayed will be maintained by those who pursued his ways.
The disaster was great on all, and we pray to Allah to have mercy on him and rest his departing soul in paradise.
Dr Ayoub Badri, Director of Dubai Educational Zone: The state of deep sorrow, sadness and mournful feelings we have in the UAE and all peoples in Arab and Muslim worlds for the demise of the father and late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan is evidence to the greatness of the man. His generosity and support worldwide was ceaseless and limitless.
It had always been the endeavour of Shaikh Zayed to extend a helping hand to all the people, without waiting for words of thanks and praise.
We loved him as leader, president and father for his simplicity, well discretion and wisdom in running matters. May his soul rest in its finally abode in paradise! Ahmed Al Kharji, Director of Umm Al Quwain Educational Zone: We pray to Almighty Allah to have mercy on him, and place his departing soul in paradise.
The father and leader left us after establishing a full-fledged state with a lofty position among Arab and foreign countries.
Shaikh Zayed had built a country where safety and security are well maintained.
He was a magnanimous and a man who the people love most. He was a leader and a man of peace in an age where unrest were many. Our solace is that his directives will remain with us forever." WAM-VV 11 12 CCCCQQE
