The joyous news was announced on Saturday, marking a celebratory occasion for the Al Maktoum family and the people of the UAE. Sheikh Hamdan, widely known as “Fazza,” shared the happiness with his followers and well-wishers as messages of congratulations poured in from across the region and beyond.

In Arabic, the name “Hind” (هند) holds deep cultural significance. It traditionally refers to the Indian subcontinent, but it also carries the meaning of “doe” or “female deer,” symbolizing grace and beauty. The name has been historically significant in the Arab world, often associated with nobility and strength.

Sheikh Hamdan, known for his deep connection with the people of Dubai and his passion for adventure, poetry, and philanthropy, continues to be one of the most admired leaders of the younger generation in the Middle East. The birth of his daughter adds another moment of pride and joy for the royal family.

The people of the UAE have taken to social media to express their heartfelt congratulations, with many praising the choice of the name and celebrating the expansion of the royal lineage.

This marks another milestone in Sheikh Hamdan’s life, as he and his family embrace the blessings of parenthood. The UAE leadership and citizens are joining in the celebration, wishing good health and happiness to the newborn and her parents.

20-months-old, Hiba Nisar, is currently undergoing treatment at Shri Maharaja Hari Singh Hospital’s ophthalmology department in Srinagar, when a pellet was directly fired in her eye. She was immediately rushed to the hospital for a surgery. While the doctors say, the injury is serious and she would lose her eye sight forever.

Marsala Jan, Hiba’s mother said, “We were inside our home and intense tear gas shelling was going on outside. At one point, my five-year-old son began complaining of trouble in breathing. I decided to take my children out but as soon as soon as I opened the door, three men (security personnel) fired pellets on us directly,” reported by Indian Express.

Jan also received a pellet in her hand when she shielded Hiba’s face and  pushed her son away to save him.

“I put my hand on Hiba’s face to protect her. Had I not put my hand, her face would have been disfigured with pellets,” the grieving Jan said.

Nisar Ahmed, Hiba’s father said, “They didn’t even leave this small kid…I am just praying to God that she has no serious problem in her eye.”

However, doctors at SMHS hospital said that Hiba’s condition is not good as she has perforation in the cornea with pellet in the eye.

“I only pray to God to give a severe punishment to those who are responsible for this, as a mother, I only can understand what she is going through,” Jan cursed.

According to local media reports, Seven top Hizb-ul-Mujahideen, Lashkar-e-Toiba and Jaish-e-Muhammad militants, an Indian soldier and a civilian were killed during two encounters and subsequent protests in Shopian and Pulwama districts of southern Kashmir.
