INTRODUCTORY PARAGRAPH:-
United Arab Emirates and Pakistan has thrilled to century old
relations. Thereupon, the two countries has tied very strong bond of
union since their inception on the world map. By the same token, both
of them has always had a very frank exchange in leading uppermost
aspects notably economic, social, political, cultural, and military and
so on. The amicable accord between the two Muslim countries owes
to hard work, devoir, patience and commitment exercised by the
individuals of the two states. The two emerging domains occupy
thought provoking history, compelling customs and culture, striking
economy and altruistic populace. In this essay, I would
highspot,compare,and contrast the afore mentioned facets.Hence,the
mutual alliance between UAE and Pakistan has been proved fruitful
and is expected to grow and flourish with much more enthusiasm in
future as both the countries belong to the same religion.
History:-
Theodore Roosevelt an American legislator and the 26th Prime
Minister of USA quoted “the more you know about the past, the better
prepared you are for the future”. This quotation directly fits up to the
amazing histories of both UAE and Pakistan. UAE, the country of

3. 2
luxury cars and the white marbled Sheikh Zaid Mosque is situated on
the Arabian Peninsula on the southeast coast of the Persian Gulf. The
architect of wealth and merry (UAE) has been blessed with the seven
heavens commonly known as the seven emirates and was established
on December 2, 1971. Six of the seven emirates namely (Abu Dhabi,
Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain and Fujairah) combined on the
independence day while the seventh one Ras Al Khaimah, joined the
union on 10 February, 1972.These seven Emirates were considered as
Trucial States by the Britishers. The country is under the authority of a
Federal Supreme Council. Today, the UAE is new fashioned,
modernized, oil exporting country flourishing on the world map as a
free state. The city of Dubai is particularly developing into a catholic
hub for touristy, trade and finance. In addition to this, the diamond city
(DUBAI) is also a home to the world's lofty architecture and the
biggest manufactured seaport. Whereas, the history of Pakistan
comprises of many interesting historical events. Before freedom
movement in 1947, the land of Pakistan was governed and controlled
by local kings and innumerable autonomous powers. The history of the
evergreen land (Pakistan) also contains some of the primeval
governments of the Indian Subcontinent as well as the world's
dominant cultures such as the Indus Valley civilization. The glorious
history of Pakistan is also associated firmly with the hard try of Indian
Muslims in gaining separate homeland for themselves and to get rid of
rugged chains of the British slavery. The All India Muslim League was

4. 3
established in 1906 to safeguard the Muslim rights. In December 1930,
theorist Sir Muhammad Iqbal called for self-governing. Muhammad Ali
Jinnah backed personally the Two Nation Theory and led the League
to adopt the Lahore Resolution in 1940. In 1946 the Muslim League
contested elections over the question of partition. The Muslim League
won 90 percent of Muslim seats and the creation of Pakistan received
overwhelming popular support among the Indian Muslims. Finally and
fortunately Pakistan gained independence as a new and free state on
14 August 1947.
People: The green land of (Pakistan) permeates in it 7,600,000
People of brave and bold Pakistani inhabitants. Majority of them are
Muslims including (Sunni, Shia & Ahmadiyya). Some people belong to
Christianity, whereas less than half of the total population belongs to
Zoroastrianism, Hinduism and Sikhism. The languages spoken by the
national community includes English, Urdu, Punjabi, Pashto, Sindhi,
Saraiki and Balochi. Residents of Pakistan are hardworking fellows.
Most of them deals in business whereas others prefer jobs in private
and public sectors. The highest percentage of mob prefer to go abroad
either for education or for employment. About 7.6 million residents of
the country are living outside the territory of Pakistan, with a vast
majority residing in the Middle East and are considered overseas
Pakistani according to the Ministry of Population and social affairs.
The report published by UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs

5. 4
says that Pakistan has the 6th largest dispersion of its community
(diaspora) in the world. Whereas, people of the United Arab Emirates
(UAE) are simple, honest and hospitable. The oil rich country of United
Arab Emirates (UAE) ingrains in it 2,369,153 population of Emirati Men
and Women. Islam is the official religion of the country and all
Emiratis are Muslims. The constitution guarantees religious freedom
and there are some Christian churches in the country. The Inhabitants
of UAE are steadfast, God fearing individuals. They are brave,
courageous, and hospitable and are strongly bound to their cultural
traditions and customs. The country of pearls and diamonds light upon
the Middle East rim of the globe. The languages spoken widely among
the seven emirates of UAE are Arabic, Persian, English, Hindi and
Urdu. The government of UAE invests major proportion of its economy
which is 1.8% in academic sector and hence the young generation of
the Arab folk are more focused towards getting themselves educated,
as a result the literacy rate of UAE finally rose to 79.2 % according to
latest report published in the newspaper, “Khaleej Times”.It is really
good to mention that female participation in education is 87 percent
more as compared to males. Immense resources have been applied by
the UAE government to provide modern social and economic resources
and facilities in the field of education, health, and social welfare.
Economy:-Before the exploration of oil in the year 1950s, the
UAE was an aggregation of low-income under the protection of the

6. 5
British rule. Consequently, with the passage of time, oil brought rapid
advancement and modernization, and these small built states became
independent as the flourishing and shining state of UAE in 1971.United
Arab Emirates is considered one of the most wealthiest and energetic
of the rest of the countries in the world. The fast and furious
developments of buildings, roads and power supplies in virtually every
edge of the state provides ocular authentication of enormous and
gigantic advancements in its economy .The government of UAE has
developed a financially rewarding economy to provide a high quality
standards of telecommunications, electricity, and utilities to its rich
citizenry. Gross domestic product scale which measures the progress
index of the country is called GDP. Luckily, GDP of the UAE is
amazingly high that stakes up to $40,438.80 dollars per capita, which
is fortunately 6.7 times greater than average, and hence it is growing
firmly all the years round. On the other hand, the economy of Pakistan
is moving steadily on the GDP scale as Pakistan is a third world nation
and like many other developing countries it also has an apparently
industrialized frugality and is famous for textiles, chemicals, food
processing, the agricultural sector and various other industries. Most
surprisingly, the economy of Pakistan is the 27th
largest flourishing
economy in the world .But miserably, the economy of Pakistan has
gone through bureaucratic inconstancy, climbing population and a war
of prickling arguments with its adjoining neighbors of India which has
disastrously verified high-priced for the economy of Pakistan.

7. 6
However, the growing economy of Pakistan disastrously suffered a
sturdy blow in the year 2008 as the role of Pakistan in the WAR ON
TERROR started facing severe avenging threats from her enemy
states. Thus, regrettably after 2008, the economic condition of
Pakistan does not improve seemingly. Hence the value of rupees fell
down from 60-1 USD to 90-1 USD in 2012.Although, the economy of
unceasing country (Pakistan) is facing relentless economic problems
at the moment, it is still within realm of possibility to recruit and take
back its economy but to do that serious measures of efforts are
required at both governmental as well as individual level.
Customs:- The habitude of UAE is a mixture of classical and
modern elements, which is open to many types of influences and
diversities. The religion of Islam and traditions of the tribal Arab society
forms the groundwork of a stable and a cautious social structure. They
mostly consume non spicy foods such as croissants, cakes, burgers,
etc. Arranged marriages are more common and the elder members of
a family cautiously constrict the conduct of young girls. Generally,
Marriage to a cousin or within one's class is well liked, but it is odious
to mention that number of Emirati men marrying non-Emirati women has
increased at an alarming rate in current years which is hot off the fire
and is acknowledged by the government a serious threat to national
culture which obviously requires arbitration. On that account, the
government is actively involved in espousing marriages among its

8. 7
nationals. Pondering to a fusion of modern and popular accustomed life,
clothing styles include westbound as well as native dress. Most Emirati
men use to wear (dishdasha) which is a white, loose-fitting garment that
is more comfortable in hot weather. Most women wear the black abayah
and some also wear a facemask called the burka, even though this
moral attitude is less common among young fashion crazed women.The
most common traditional sports played by young Emirati generation
includes horse, camel racing and soccer (football). Above all, the
spiritual festivals of ‘Eid al-Fitr and ‘Eid al-Adha, that queue up the end
of Ramadan are celebrated every year with lots of high spirits and
excitement. At the same time, the evergreen land of Pakistan has
compelling customs and cultures which are diversified as the area of
the country spread out towards different regions. The culture and
traditions of the land of the five spouting rivers comprises of variety
of the ethnic groups such as the Punjabis,Potwaris,Kashmiris,Sindhis
,Balochis,Hazarans and Pashtuns situated in the western region of
Pakistan. The civilization of these indigenous groups have been vastly
affected by many of its bordering countries such as the South Asian,
Turkic as well as the people of the Central Asia .People of Pakistan are
the strong believers of Islam and has always rendered their maximum
participation in religious obligatory services such as establishing
Mosques , Madrassas, churches,etc. Pakistani men and women wear
Kurtas(shirts) and Salwar(trousers). They mainly consume spicy
foods.Unhappily, they practice several contra- Islamic customs on

9. 8
special occasions such as national festivals, weddings, and some other
earmarked incidents. Most notably, Pakistan was the antecedent
domain of South Asia to be fully wrack up by Islam and has thus
developed a clear-cut Islamic identity, historically diversified from the
rest of the states.
Conclusion:-In conclusion, both the regions are struggling hard
to reach their estimated goals and planned targets. They do so, to
strengthen their economies, to improve the lifestyles of their
communities, and also to enhance their customs, cultures and
traditions. The fascinating histories of both the states had brought a
remarkable change in sociology, heritage and development and hence
both the states (UAE and Pakistan) are continuously striving hard to
attain their destinations.
