President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan said on the "X" platform: "A father is a support, a role model, and a symbol of giving and dedication for the happiness, stability, and safety of the family."
His Highness added: "On 'Father's Day,' we remember our father Zayed, may Allah have mercy on him, the symbol of fatherhood that built a nation with wisdom, mercy, love, and responsibility.
We salute every father who follows this path; who cares for his family with love, instils authentic values and morals in his children, and opens doors of hope and future for them, so that our families always remain a source of strength for our society and the progress of our nation. May Allah bless fathers in the UAE and the world, and have mercy on those who have passed away."
