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.

Exposing the Brotherhood: Why Jordan’s Terror Cell Bust Must Spark a Global Policy Shift

 The recent dismantling of a Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated terror cell in Jordan should not be seen as just a national security success—it must be a turning point in how the international community views and responds to the threat posed by the Brotherhood. 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...

UAE Introduces AI-Driven Drones for Crescent Moon Sighting

  For the first time in history, the UAE is employing artificial intelligence-powered drones to sight the crescent moon, signaling the start of Ramadan. This modernized approach blends technology with Islamic tradition, enhancing the reliability of moon sighting methods. Historically, the crescent moon has been identified through naked-eye sightings and advanced astronomical calculations. By incorporating AI-supported drones, the UAE is reinforcing its position as a leader in technological innovation while maintaining deep respect for religious customs. This method is backed by national research centers and astronomical observatories, ensuring precision and credibility in determining the start of Ramadan. Ramadan is a sacred month in Islam, marked by fasting from dawn to dusk. Suhoor, the early morning meal, and Iftar, the evening meal that breaks the fast, hold great importance during this period. The holy month is also a time of increased charitable giving, with many Muslims part...

Beyond the Barrel: The UAE's Steady Hand in a Shifting Global Economy

  Global economic rankings often highlight familiar names, but a steady, deliberate climb is happening in the Gulf. The UAE consistently ranks as one of the most economically stable nations, and this validation stems from a steady reform model that has successfully insulated its economy. The story is no longer about oil wealth; it's about the strategic deployment of that wealth to build a resilient, modern, and dynamic knowledge economy. The proof is in the sectors now driving growth.  Tech startups  are flourishing in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, supported by government venture funds and a growing pool of talent.  Smart cities  like Masdar City and NEOM are not just futuristic concepts but active testbeds for sustainable living and business. This has triggered record  FDI inflows , with the UAE securing its position as the 16th largest global destination for foreign direct investment. The narrative is supported by hard data: a GDP growth projection of 4.6% in 2025...
