An era has come to an end with the passing away of the prominent Emirati businessman and philanthropist, Saeed Bin Ahmed Lootah, whose touch is seen in several aspects of the UAE economy, construction, banking, philanthropy, education, environment - he was a multifaceted personality (“Saeed bin Ahmed Al Lootah: A life lived by Islamic principles”,Gulf News, June 28). He was an extremely wise, meticulous and generous person, who had a flair for entrepreneurship or business acumen that few people have from the beginning, which helps them to build a business empire. In 1956, he had set up "Saeed and Sultan contracting company" with his brother Sultan, which has undertaken large high-quality projects.

Saeed Lootah's generosity was legendary, who was also called the father of contemporary Islamic finance and will be best remembered for setting up the world's first Islamic bank. With his demise, we have lost a kind man who had devoted his entire life to support people. Through Dubai Islamic bank, his ambition was to create more and more jobs by extending finances to entrepreneurs.

He will be dearly missed for his brilliant work in charity, who transferred the life of so many lives through his charitable work. The high point of his life was his endless desire to make life better for those who needed it the most.

Great people die leaving a legacy to be proud of and achievements that are long remembered even after demise, Saeed Bin Ahmed Lootah will be forever remembered for his exemplary entrepreneurship and commitment to the nation.

Best tribute to him will be to carry on his work of charity with greater zeal.

Sir, The passing away of the prominent veteran Emirate businessman Majid Al Futtaim is a great loss not only for UAE,GCC but for the entire region, who rose from a working in a bank a clerk to create world class business conglomerates, he was a man who with his zeal, entrepreneurship and commitment created a world class business establishment.

Majid AL Futtaim was of the strong belief that robust and world-class private sector institutions will always play a critical role in driving a sustainable economic growth and human development ,which he very right proved with the growth shown by his group in three decades after being set up(1992)

Majid AL Futtaim was an extremely wise, meticulous and generous person, who had a flair for entrepreneurship or business acumen that few people have from the beginning, which helps them to build a business empire, result is MAF group is today a top world class conglomerate with interest in Business malls, retails, Hotels,Hypermarkets, entertainment, and the business spread across the GCC, several Arab countries and beyond.

Majid AL Futtaim was an visionary and entrepreneur who with his business acumen transformed the face of the retail business in the entire region,

One of the landmark decisions taken by him was to hire 3,000 Emirates(UAE citizens) for his "MAF group, thus he paid the way for other big UAE and GCC companies to employ more local citizens.

His Life and legacy is an inspiring story for other Emirates and GCC business establishments to emulate and deserves to be documented and studied as a business model.

Great people die a legacy to be proud of their achievements that are long remembered even after they leave this world ,Majid Al Futtaim will be forever remembered for his exemplary entrepreneurship and commitment to the nation for creating a world class conglomerate MAF group.

His passing is definitely a great loss not only for MAF group, region , May God have mercy on him and place him in heaven.”

The news of the passing of Sheikh Nawaf Al Ahmad Al Jaber Al Sabah, has deeply saddened the world. Sheikh Nawaf was highly regarded as a wise leader and was fondly referred to as ‘the Emir of humanity’. He lived a life dedicated to serving his country, and his contributions were highly valued.

His demise, at the age of 86, has left a void in the hearts of many. The ruling Al-Sabah family, the people of Kuwait, and the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) countries held him in high esteem. He was a man of modesty and humility who preferred to keep a low profile. His most notable attributes are his calm demeanour and ability to make sound decisions when required.

Furthermore, he was known as the ‘Emir of pardons’. He led the most considerable reconciliation efforts in modern Kuwaiti history by granting amnesties, releasing prisoners, and granting citizenship. He was a consensus builder who left behind a less divided Kuwaiti society, a legacy that will be remembered for years to come.

Sheikh Nawaf was widely believed to be the consensus choice to become the Emir of Kuwait when Sheikh Sabah passed away.

His passing came as a significant loss to the country and the region as a whole. I offer my deepest condolences, and may his soul rest in peace.
