Sheikh Mohammed said in a tweet on the “X” platform, “One of Dubai’s distinguished scholars passed away today… Sheikh Mohammed Ali, Sultan of Scholars… Hundreds of students graduated under his leadership… and he wrote more than 70 books on Sharia science… and he completed dozens of charitable projects… His council was full of goodness, knowledge, Sharia, and interaction with people. May God have mercy on him and place him in spacious gardens and grant his family and relatives patience and solace.”
