Muḥammad ibn Rāshid Āl Maktūm Livres

The visionary Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum pens a great read on modern governance and how leaders can combine enterprise with excellence, in Flashes of Thought.

Poetry has been a lifelong passion for Sheikh Mohammed. Al Mutanabi, Al Buhtori and Abu Tammam are his favourite classical poets voices that have enriched Arabic poetry. These influences, combined with the Gulf tradition of Nabati poetry, a form dear to him, due to its social and literary significance and with its roots based in this region, have given a particular quality to the poems published in this book. Sheikh Mohammed has been able to express a mature sensitivity through this medium and a love of thought and language. His poems help us to understand better the soul of a man and the heritage of the nation.
