He wrote, “We congratulate the Islamic nation on the birth anniversary of the best of mankind, the forewarner and the [guiding light], the call of Ibrahim and the announcement [from] Jesus (peace upon them), the last of all messengers and God’s mercy to the world."

His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, also took to Twitter to reflect on the powerful legacy of the Prophet (PBUH).

The Abu Dhabi Crown Prince tweeted, “On the anniversary of the birth of the Prophet (peace be upon him), we are reminded of his powerful legacy and his lasting message of peace, love, mercy, progress and goodness. May God grant us harmony, security and wellbeing throughout the world.”

Meanwhile, Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai, also congratulated the Islamic world on the auspicious occasion.
