Isn't it shocking how Rashid bin Mohammed passed away so young and that too of a heart attack? I'm unable to believe. May Allah rest his soul in peace.

I am shocked!

Does anyone know what Rashid had been doing these days? There were rumours of drugs/steriod misuse what might explain a heart attack at 33.
He fell out of favour a long time ago, with his younger brother Hamdan becoming CP.
Allegedly Rashid tried to cheat his father in horseracing business, and that was the end of the relationship.
 
What a horror!:bang::bang::bang:
What a sadness for his parents!
It's definitely too soon to die...
May God have mercy on his soul...:cry::cry::cry:
 
What a shock!! 34, that's so very young! RIP Sheikh Rashid!

Dreadful news. Condolences to Sheikh Mohammed & his remaining children. Also to Sheikh Rashids' mother.
 
May his soul rest in peace. Hamdan and maktoum crying will forever break my heart. Feel for sheikha hind.:cry::cry::sad:
 
Very shocking news given he was always so active, surprised its not (yet) appearing on more media websites - in the UK I can't find anything about it on the BBC or Telegraph or Guardian websites such the Daily Mail.

Please have the decency to not slander the dead. We do not need idle speculation. This is a very sad situation. Respect this young man's family.
 
Oh, this is very sad and shocking news. As others have said, Sheikh Rashid is far too young to die.

The UAE woke up on Saturday morning to the sad news of the demise of Shaikh Rashid bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. He died in the early morning hours aged 33. The body of Shaikh Rashid was shrouded in a UAE flag and was carried by his brothers Shaikh Hamdan bin Mohammed and a tearful Shaikh Maktoum bin Mohammed, who led the procession at Zabeel Mosque. Thousands of Emiratis and expatriates on Saturday evening attended funeral prayers for Shaikh Rashid, who was laid to rest in Umm Hurair cemetery in Al Fahidi, Bur Dubai after a poignant grand procession.

Other siblings, Shaikh Majid bin Mohammed and Shaikh Mansoor bin Mohammed, and other members of Al Maktoum family, were also present.

President Shaikh Khalifa declared three days of mourning across the UAE, with flags at government departments and institutions to fly at half mast.

Rashid - meaning, rightly guided, went down the wrong path despite such promise. I have been reading about him for many many years because he had this incredible intensity about him. A real kingliness, if you will. As the first official son, he was the favorite heir presumptive and said raised to take after his father. But he went down the wrong path and his father punished him severely by taking away his purpose. He never took is out on Hamdan, but he was broken. He never overcame. Such a promising young man, I wish he did not go down the wrong path.
