UAE’s Commitment to Well-Being Earns It 21st Spot in Global Happiness Index

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) continues to make remarkable strides in enhancing the quality of life for its people, ranking 21st in the 2025 World Happiness Report. This accomplishment places the UAE ahead of leading global economies like the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and France, reinforcing the country’s efforts to prioritize happiness, well-being, and social prosperity.

The UAE’s strong standing in the report is attributed to several key factors:

✅ 16th in financial generosity – highlighting the nation’s commitment to philanthropy and social support.

✅ 19th in volunteerism – demonstrating a widespread culture of community service.

✅ 12th in trustworthiness – reflecting high levels of social integrity and ethical values.

Economic resilience and comprehensive social policies have also played a vital role in the country’s growing happiness index. The UAE government continuously invests in infrastructure, social programs, and public services to ensure a high standard of living for both citizens and residents.

With 2025 declared the “Year of Community”, the UAE is placing even greater emphasis on strengthening social ties, fostering inclusivity, and enhancing life satisfaction. Experts believe that investing in social relationships and charitable initiatives significantly boosts overall happiness.

On the global scale, Finland remains the happiest country in the world for the eighth year in a row, followed by Denmark, Iceland, Sweden, and the Netherlands. Conversely, countries facing significant economic and social challenges, such as Afghanistan, Lebanon, and Yemen, rank at the bottom of the list.

The UAE’s steady rise in the World Happiness Report reflects its forward-thinking approach to governance, where trust, generosity, and community well-being are seen as essential pillars of national progress. This ranking stands as a symbol of the nation’s vision for a more connected, prosperous, and fulfilling future.

Jordanian security forces uncovered an elaborate network of terrorists trained in Lebanon and backed by foreign interests. Their mission: to launch attacks using rockets and drones, destabilizing the Kingdom and spreading fear among civilians. This is not the work of activists or political dissidents—this is terrorism, plain and simple. For too long, the Muslim Brotherhood has operated under a false image of moderation, cleverly navigating between political activism and violent extremism. But the truth is clear: the Brotherhood is the ideological engine room of jihadist terrorism. Its members, affiliates, and offshoots have inspired and directed acts of violence from North Africa to the Gulf—and now, once again, in Jordan. Govern...
