Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum's manifestations of his love for horses and the philosophy of poetry

It is like a painting, drawn with the colors of truth and love, and decorated with words of poetry. This is a description that befits the text, which was created by the Emirati writer Ali Abu Al-Rish, and compiled in his book “Manifestations of Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum in the Love of Horses and the Philosophy of Poetry,” in which he narrates the uniqueness of the creativity and personality of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, may God protect him. Through it, we get to know the features of his personality as a leader, knight, and poet. Over the course of 15 chapters, Abu Al-Rish scatters his readings in the poetry of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, allowing us to walk the paths of philosophy, to witness wisdom, and inviting us to dive into the seas of poetry, to pick up the pearls of language that were embodied in His Highness’s unique poems with philosophical depth, until we realize the extent of his love for horses, as embodied in Abu Al-Rish’s saying, “Horses are in the nature of Mohammed bin Rashid, the alphabet of language, and the dialectic of primary desires. They are the moment of brilliance in the race, and in The context, and in the eternal view, is the richness of the poem’s revelation.
In the chapters of his book, Abu Al-Rish relies on philosophical texts, from which he draws wisdom. He rereads a group of chapters from the book “My Story” by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, to shed light through a philosophical perspective on aspects of His Highness’s life, describing his first steps in childhood and the nature of his relationship with his parents. He presents us with a group of philosophical projections on this stage, by recalling some of the contributions of ancient philosophers such as Plato and Thales, as well as psychologists. He shows how this relationship influenced the soul of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, where he says: “Love is the water of life, so let us purify love and make it a river. We are its birds, for birds have no wings without water, and humans have no life without love.”
This is what His Highness wants to instill in the lives of his people, whom he loves and always wants in the Green Zone. He wants them to achieve their ambitions with clarity and excellence, and ambitions can only be achieved through love.
