This is the first time that I have ever seen any mention of Sheikha Hind bint Maktoum bin Juma Al Maktoum not being acknowledged as a wife, as she normally is:
"
"Shaikha Hind bint Maktoum bin Juma Al Maktoum, wife of General Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and UAE Minister of Defence."
or as
"Wife of Dubai Crown Prince and UAE Defence Minister General Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Sheikha Hind bint Maktoum bin Juma Al Maktoum"

This is a very obvious omission .

 

[Reina]

where does this source come from. perhaps they are a bit liberal in regards to referring someone as someone's wife

Yeah, yeah, yeah the respect and love for Sheikha Hind goes without saying, that's a given.

My point was that the quote from Al Bayan by the author of the article did not note it as being a translation or a c&p from another source. I know it was a translation and prior to going to Al Bayan it appeared as if the paper had made the omission.

For the benefit of those posters that are not aware or are unable to read Al Bayan it would have been helpful when posted to note it as such.

Thanks for your efforts to clarify, although your response was off topic; it was evident that often something can get lost in translation. It's always nice to read that others share the same passion regarding Sheikha Hind.

Shaikha Hind to present gold coins to DWC graduates
By a staff reporter

11 May 2005




DUBAI — Shaikha Hind bint Maktoum Al Maktoum, wife of General Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and UAE Minister of Defence, will present specially designed gold coins to meritorious students passing out of the Dubai Women’s College today at the Dubai World Trade Centre.

The class of 2004, the 13th batch of graduates, will see 128 students stepping out of the portals of the college, 73 of them with distinction, 30 with high honours and 25 with highest honours.

This year’s graduate speaker will be Hamda Al Bakhit, who will be receiving her Bachelor of E-Commerce degree with high honours. Financial Service and Banking Higher Diploma graduate Shamsa Al Falasi will be the master of ceremonies.

Dr Howard Reed, Director of DWC, thanked and praised Shaikha Hind’s support and contribution towards continued educational excellence in the college, and in developing professional local women in all sectors and levels.

“There are 724 graduates from 26 different academic programmes, all of which are preparing young national women for relevant employment,” he said.

“Thirteen years ago, there were no DWC graduates and very few working Emirati women in Dubai.

“Today, nearly 70 per cent of DWC graduates are employed. It is also a very special year for DWC as this year’s ceremony marks the first time that we are awarding Bachelor degrees in Education and E-Commerce,” he said.

DWC graduates are working in Dubai’s top organisations including Etisalat, Dubai Municipality, Emirates airline, Emirates Bank Group, Tanmia, Eppco, Dubai Financial Market, National Bank of Dubai, HSBC, Dubai Internet City, Dubai Media City, Mashreqbank and The Executive Office.

This year, the Dubai Women’s Association (DWA) will coordinate with Shaikha Hind for the event. “We congratulate all the graduates on their success,” Amal Al Sari from DWA, said, adding that several DWC students were working for the association.

Several graduates said they were looking forward to working and gaining experience. “We do not mind working long hours as long as we learn,” they said.​

Women are equal partners in fostering progress, says Hind
By a staff reporter

12 May 2005



DUBAI — Women do not merely constitute 50 per cent of the society, but also have an equal share in contributing towards the progress of the nation through their role in preparing future generations to take up responsibilities.

This was stated by Shaikha Hind bint Maktoum bin Juma Al Maktoum, wife of General Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and UAE Minister of Defence, in a speech read out on her behalf by Shaikha Mariam bint Hashar bin Maktoum bin Juma Al Maktoum, at the graduation ceremony of the 13th batch of Dubai Women’s College held at Dubai Convention Centre. Shaikha Hind handed over the certificates to the graduates.

Noting that all factors for success including education and culture had been provided by the country for women to ensure their effective participation, Shaikha Hind said: "No nation can progress without the effective participation of women, and concurrently, women too need to be provided with all the facilities to achieve success. The late Shaikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan had acknowledged this fact, which led to the country's progress," she said.

Calling on the graduates to play their role in the country's progress, Shaikha Hind highlighted Shaikh Zayed's concern that he had extended assistance not only to women, but to each and every citizen in the UAE, since they are the real assets of the country.

Dr Howard Reed, Director of the College, stressed that the institution was committed to preparing women to be competent in taking up various jobs. "Tonight, 724 students from 26 programmes are graduating, including first batches of holders of bachelor degrees in education, e-commerce and pharmacy," he said, in a speech read out on his behalf by Dr. Bahjat Al Yousef of the Colleges' Information Technology Section.

In order to succeed in their career, Dr Reed advised the graduates to be guided by the success of the college alumni, which had exceeded 4,670 members, and proved efficient in various jobs that are of significance for the country's progress, he said, adding: "I am sure you will continue to foster the excellent reputation created by the graduates of this college."

He also asked them to be determined in setting higher objectives in view of the rapid development and diversification in various areas including business in Dubai.

Hamda Mohammed Al Falashi, reading out a speech on behalf of her fellow graduates, expressed a sense of pride in graduating from the Higher Colleges of Technology. She also expressed gratitude to the vision of teachers at the Higher Colleges of Technology who were helping in preparing people to fit into various work environments and jobs. The ceremony ended with poetry recitation in memory of late Shaikh Zayed and folk dances.

Everyone who has posted, saying it is impossible to find a photo of her is right. I searched--and nothing. As she attends public events and is out in public at times, is this a government policy--in other words, if a photographer were to try and take a photo, would they be in serious trouble?

Before being a goverment Policy its a family policy....and culture....
and the events where sheikha hind attends no photographers are allowed ... no mobiles with cameras are allowed and all photographers are not allowed in before the ceremony with a few hours. If a photographer takes a picture and they see him ...simply they will take the film out

Often women in published photographs are not identified, Sheikha Hind‘s photograph may have been published without reference to her identity. There is one woman that has appeared often in some pics of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid and his daughters that is unidentified.

Sheikha Hind’s appearances are considered private, events that are not open to the public. She attends functions where there is an invited or an exclusive group of people. She is more the norm rather than an exception, being of the generation of women that values modesty and in which women have been protected from the lustful gaze of men.

These women are very wise to remain out of public view, considering the constant bombardment by the media as to how a woman should look and dress testifies to this. The focus remains on her works rather than her appearance, and her works for the good of her family and others is impressive.

Sheikha Hind most often will offer praise to Sheikha Fatima and in many ways emulates her mannerisms.

The following link about the First Lady/ Mother of the Nation (Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak) will shed some light on the issue of her photograph not being published; she refers to it as “the necessary reserves of a sheikha“. Sheikha Fatima is also quoted as saying “…the veil is but a feature of those traditions that we must respect…”

http://www.sheikh-zayed.info/first.asp

Not all women like being photographed. The reactions to being photographed are mixed as evident by the body language especially in group photos. Many of the ladies will turn away from the camera or in some way obstruct views of their faces. Other ladies will openly smile into the camera and with obvious pleasure.

It is considered offensive to photograph Muslim women without their consent.

I think this is the woman you're referring to. She's the chief marketing officer of the DSF and is often spotted with his kids and him during the shopping festivals but this is not Sheikha Hind. Her name is Laila Suhail. Here's an interview with her: http://www.khaleejtimes.com/Displayarticle.asp?section=citytimes&xfile=data/citytimes/2005/january/citytimes_january157.xml

LOL, Lala, Oh my goodness no, this is not the woman at all! She is much too young (even though that is a very old photo) and that would be much too obvious.

My bad! Do you have any pictures of the woman you were talking about or do you know where I can find them? I really want to see who that woman is because if it's not Laila, then I have no clue whom you were referring to.

 

[Saba]

La la, no problem. The photos are not in any one place, they were taken over time here and there, and are large, the attachments will not accept. Maybe it is for the best as it would be hypocritical of me to post the photos, it would only fuel more speculation. In the future when and if I see this lady, I will send you a PM.

El Jood,is it true that Sheikha Hind never address the public herself ,that there is person who reads speeches for her?

 

[El Jood]

El Jood,is it true that Sheikha Hind never address the public herself ,that there is person who reads speeches for her?

Sheikha Hind Does Address the public at times and at times others address it on her behalf, she has has several ceremonies at the Palace where she addressed them her self....and they were unwitten speaches she addressed them confidently and straight from the heart.....But at times outside her palace...on stages she has someone who addresses her speaches....
but when she is on her seat she talks to peole addresses them in an informal way where it has a nice and effective inpact on them....
Many sheikhas don't address their Own Speach Like Sheikha Fatam Bint Mubarak Sh. Zayed's wife....
Anyway she addresses speaches or she doesn't people Love her anyway....

Thank u dear for answering But i still found it difficult to understand,there is a person who writes speeches for her,there is a person who reads foh her(exept those few speeches in the Palace),is it too much effort for Hind to read something that is already written for her by the other person?

 

[El Jood]

,there is a person who writes speeches for her

There is someone who writes speaches for Bush!!!!!!
most celebrities the speaches are written for them but ofcousrse its what they want to be said.

is it too much effort for Hind to read something that is already written for her by the other person?

What sheikha Hind is doing is much more than reading speaches....
sheikha Hind's work has more depth and effect to the community she Has sooooooooooooooo much charity wrok....helps alot if people out.....
so reading a speach is not an issue.....
what she does for UAE women and UAE coomunity is much more than reading a speach....
and people are happy with what she does....
other than others who read speaches and come out in media just for the sake of showing off

Speaking on behalf of Sheikha Hind

Thank u dear for answering But i still found it difficult to understand,there is a person who writes speeches for her,there is a person who reads foh her(exept those few speeches in the Palace),is it too much effort for Hind to read something that is already written for her by the other person?

anastasija, Hon, your interest in the subject of Sheikha Hind is quite flattering. If all women could have the pleasure of hearing and witnessing an event where any of the sheikhas were present they would be impressed and inspired, unless of course, they failed to comprehend the message or the perspective.

It is advisable for anyone speaking in a public forum with the intention of delivering a very important message or point of view to a diverse audience to have assistance with their presentations. The average professional person addressing a crowd will often turn to a trusted friend, co-worker or spouse to critique what they plan to say to any group of people. Input from others is not unusual at all, if the speaker wants to be clear and concise. Public personalities who do not use the assistance of others will often say something biased or misunderstood by the persons they are speaking to and are often easily and unintentionally offensive. Sheikh Hind utilizes the same professional assistance common to world leaders, presidents, CEOs and others in the public and private arena, this is only one small suggestion of her humbleness.

Most often when others are speaking on behalf of Sheikha Hind it is one of her daughters or nieces. These young ladies that so proudly deliver messages from Sheikha Hind are themselves being groomed to one day take on the role of those women such as Sheikha Hind and Sheikha Fatima. Quite simply, their mothers and grandmothers are passing the torch so to speak and it begins with representing them at important functions. The only effort is checking ones ego at the door and being able to delegate to the next generation of intelligent sheikhas.

One day the sheikhas that are speaking on behalf of Sheikha Hind and Sheikha Fatima will introduce their daughters and nieces via delivering speeches on their behalf.

It is a privilege and an honor to speak on behalf of someone that is so loved and respected in their community no matter where they reside or whom they are; sheikha or otherwise.
