On the anniversary of the passing of the late Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum, may Allah have mercy upon him, English Language Private School joins the wider UAE community in respectfully remembering a visionary leader whose wisdom, determination and service helped lay the foundations of modern Dubai.
Marking this solemn anniversary, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, shared a deeply personal “Message to My Father”, reflecting on the teachings, values and vision of his late father and the enduring influence of his legacy across generations.
The message is a moving reflection on a father, teacher and leader whose principles continue to resonate in the progress and aspirations of Dubai. It reminds us that the legacy of leadership is carried not only through achievements, but also through the values, responsibilities and sense of service passed from one generation to the next.
At English Language Private School, we respectfully honour the memory of Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum and reflect upon his enduring legacy of vision, service, responsibility and dedication to future generations.
For our diverse community of students growing and learning in the UAE, his life and leadership offer an important reflection on the values that underpin meaningful progress: serving others, looking towards the future with purpose, and recognising our responsibility to contribute positively to the society in which we live.
May Allah have mercy upon Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum and grant him the highest place in Jannah.
His legacy endures in the Dubai we are privileged to call home.
