The progress march under Sheikh Rashid

Sheikh Rashid was the father figure and friend of traders. He was kind, generous and modest, and strict in dispensing justice. His majlis was a symbol of genuine democracy where dialogues were conducted in the best interests of society. In fact, I am one of the people who have been trying to make his actions as ideals to be followed. I highly respect this man.
