the Royal Family of Oman is a mystery for me ^^...~

i meet some of them while studying in Muscat..
but there is not much personal information about them..

about HMS Qaboos, I heard he has a son living in UK..!!??>> heard from father who have royal friends..!!

but anyway even if he had one, the Ruling Family Council chooses the successor after the throne becomes vacant, and that the sultan's preference, to be expressed in an official letter (he will not give a name but the qualities and characteristics he wants the next leader to have)..and of course that person should be a royal member ^^...~
 
:previous:
The formailities of succession in Oman is detailed in post #12.
 
you can know about the Succession from the White Book of the basic law of Oman..


in Part One:

- Article 5 [Form of Government]:
The system of government is an hereditary Sultanate in which succession passes to a male descendant of Sayyid Turki bin Said bin Sultan. It is a condition that the male who is chosen to rule should be an adult Muslim of sound mind and a legitimate son of Omani Muslim parents.

- Article 6 [Succession]:
(1) Within three days of the position of Sultan becoming vacant, the Ruling Family Council shall determine upon who will succeed to the Throne.
(2) If the Ruling Family Council does not agree upon a successor, the Defence Council shall confirm the appointment of the person designated by the Sultan in his letter to the Family Council.

- Article 7 [Oath of the Sultan]:
Before exercising his powers the Sultan shall swear the following oath at a joint session of the Oman and Defence Councils:
"I swear by Almighty God to respect the Basic Law of the State and the Laws, to fully protect the interests and freedoms of the citizens, and to preserve the independence of the country and its territorial integrity."
 
I'm wondering what will be the future of our Oman god may save our Sultan and guide him to the path of peace and wisdom.

Why the Sultan of Oman does not have children?

I observed in most Arab cultures, the tendency to have as many children thru as many wives as one of the reason to propagate their bloodlines and to carry their names.

I would think that he would remarry to enable him to have children if he doesn't have one w the first wife, especially since he needs an heir to his Kingdom. I am quite puzzled by this royal family.
 
The Sultan is a really nice man; he was the FIRST ARAB leader to give women the same rights as that of men! Kudos to the Sultan... :flowers:. Not to mention he was the FIRST AND ONLY ARAB leader to have women in demanding decision making positions...not the warm and fuzzy ARTS......Like other ARAB states!

When I worked as a foreign service officer, he was very nice to all the officers within my unit as well as other units. The Sultan would invite us to eat at his palace in Muscat. Once again... VERY NICE MAN! Lastly, for the record he has won numerous leadership awards, that he doesn't post all over the net or wear on his sleeves. :whistling::whistling::whistling::whistling::whistling:

JMO of a man who is a hero, changing the perception of MIDDLE EASTERN WOMEN, and for the record...I live in the USA not the middle east.

@ Commander-in-Chief - thanks for responding. The Sultan is one of my favorite rulers in the Middle East; he is truly an excuptally leader regardless of what people may say about him. He is a ruler that is connected to the needs of his people, put them first as well as being the first Middle East ruler to give women the SAME rights as men. No other part of the ME has such laws.

And for the record..I'm American and I love this guy...;););)

HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum was champion owner in UK of pure-bred Arab racehorses in 2010. All registered pure-bred Arab racehorses are listed on the official website Welcome to the Official ARO Website along with brief details of pedigree plus owner.

In 2011, it looks like Sheikh Hamdan's main rival will be The Cavalry Club of Oman. Does anyone know whether the horses belong to the Omani Army or to Sultan Qaboos or whether this is a club formed by UK-based Omani diplomats from the cavalry ?

Thanks
