He was born in Ajman in 1933. As a young man, he studied in a mosque, where he learnt about the Quran, Hadith and the foundations of Islamic Jurisdiction. He was then taught by a range of religious, language and mathematics scholars, before heading to Cairo to continue his education.
In 1960, he became the Crown Prince of Ajman, assisting his late father in establishing the early foundations of the modern Emirate.
