"Don't worry Mohammed will endure," were the words Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum said to the British Political Resident when his son, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, was admitted to the Mons Officer Cadet School in UK, known for its intensive training and tough discipline.
On September 11, Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence of the UAE, and Chairman of the Executive Council of Dubai, took to his official Instagram to share a special video clip of his father, Sheikh Mohammed, from the documentary.

The clip ends with Wilson talking about how Sheikh Rashid said at the end of Sheikh Mohammed's tenure at Mons: "Mohammed is coming home. He is going to keep us safe."
"Sheikh Mohammed is not like everybody else, that's why he is Sheikh Mohammed," added Wilson.
Sheikh Hamdan wrote: "We have learned greatly from his leadership, his guidance, from his wise decisions and his wisdom. And still, we have far more to learn from him."
