Dubai ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum dedicated his 19th Accession Day to his wife, Sheikha Hind bint Maktoum bin Juma Al Maktoum, with a ‘Thank You Sheikha Hind’ campaign. However, the campaign was not enough to express Sheikh Mohammed's gratitude for the "most beautiful thing" in his life, his wife; therefore, the ruler released a rare and heartfelt video on Instagram, calling Sheikha Hind his "biggest wish". Sheikh Mohammed, also the UAE's Vice President and Prime Minister, traditionally marks 4 January, the anniversary of his accession as Ruler of Dubai , by launching a national initiative, campaign, or transformative project.
However, this year, he said, he would like to dedicate the day to his wife: "My life partner, steadfast supporter, and the anchor of my life." The “mother of the Sheikhs”, the ruler said, has always been and will forever remain a devoted friend and companion and a source of boundless kindness. “She embodies compassion, generosity and goodness.
She is the pillar of my household, the foundation of our family, and my greatest support throughout my journey,” he said, adding a “heartfelt prayer” for her. "May God protect you, grant you happiness, and strengthen the bond of love between us," Sheikh Mohammed said, adding that Sheikha Hind is the beginning of his story and "its most cherished chapter". "You are the soul of Dubai, its heartbeat, and its source of joy," he added.
