We proudly salute the nation’s martyrs and recognize their legendary sacrifices. We salute the UAE and its wise leadership, which is fortified by the love and loyalty of its people,".
Speaking on the occasion of UAE Commemoration Day, which falls on November 30 of every year, Al Olama stated that the country has a track record of glorious sacrifices and heroism that make it an exceptional and unique example of giving and self-sacrifice.
"The heroic deeds made by the nation’s martyrs have not only advanced the nation towards greater horizons of excellence but also pushed the country’s development and civilization to the next level in accordance with the UAE Centennial 2071 and the wise directives of President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, who has always been keen to catapult the country towards new heights of prosperity and leadership."

It is an occasion to foster the country's national values and demonstrate pride in our people’s unlimited giving, and courage. Our history is full of heroic epics for Emirati martyrs who wrote with their blood stories of glory, pride, and honor that our fathers, grandfathers, and founding fathers had already started. Following in their footsteps, we will make every possible effort to protect our homeland and preserve its gains in all fields," Al Olama underscored.
