Sheikh Dr. Sultan responded to a public inquiry about the term."Someone asked about the meaning of the word 'Al Zubarah', so I would like to clarify that in Arabic, 'Al Zubarah' means 'building'.

For example, the phrase 'Zabar Al Bi'r' means 'to place a stone inside (the well)'."H.H. the Ruler of Sharjah added, "We care about heritage, whether tangible, such as antiquities; or intangible things like chants, songs, music, and traditional dance.

This practice is an educational process, and identity is the foundation of society. A society without identity has no roots."God willing, we will reach a stage where every individual will be responsible for protecting their community, starting with preserving and defending the environment, as well as protecting society from gossip, vices, abominations, and anything foreign. The individual's responsibility begins at home, extends to the neighbourhood in which they live, and reaches the country and the nation." His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi concluded his speech with fatherly advice to his children, saying, "We tell our sons and daughters that this society is a trust, so give yourselves the opportunity to give back to the nation, starting with kind words and avoiding bad language. Stop the social media squabbling, elevate yourselves, don't be imitators, and protect your country, from which your fathers came and in whose soil your grandfathers are buried. God willing, all of our future generations will be aware of their religious, national, and societal responsibilities."
