His gesture comes in line with the tolerant teachings of Islam about caring for orphans and the Emirati traditions of extending helping hands to the needy and poor families.

The Ruler of Ajman ordered provision of all necessities and care to the six children.

The six children used to live in Al Tauwan in Sharjah but have now moved to live with their father’s nephew in Ajman.

Their new guardian, who recently married, said the children’s father suffered from diabetes and fell ill just days after his wife died.

“We were told both the children’s parents were critically ill with COVID-19 due to complications they suffered from,” said the guardian.

He added that he hoped the children would be able to overcome the loss of both parents in such a short space of time.
