The UAE Fuel Price Committee has officially announced the fuel prices for April 2025, setting diesel at AED 2.63 per liter and Super 98 petrol at AED 2.57 per liter. While these prices reflect the global market trends, they bring up important questions about their impact on consumers, businesses, and the overall economy. A Positive Development for Consumers? For everyday consumers, any decrease or stability in fuel prices is often welcomed. Lower fuel costs mean reduced transportation expenses, which can have a ripple effect on the cost of goods and services. Households that rely on personal vehicles may find some relief in their monthly budgets, particularly those who commute long distances for work or leisure. Implications for Businesses and the Economy On the business side, fuel price fluctuations directly impact operational costs.

Reportedly, sick people can invalidate their fast and can also offer appropriate redemption if fasting is not possible during the holy month.

Grand Mufti Al Ahdal laid out rules for Ramadan 2023. He explained that if any substance makes its way into the human abdomen, then it means a breaking of the fast. He further said that two categories can break a fast during the holy month of Ramadan.

“The first category of the act refers to ingesting something, such as eating, drinking, taking medicine or vitamin injections,” said Hussein Al Ahdal. He further said, “The second category refers to acts such as sexual intimacy, menstruation, vomiting, using ear drops, eye drops and nose drops.”

According to the Grand Mufti at Dubai's Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department, if a Muslim person unintentionally eats or drinks anything while fasting then their Ramadan fast is still valid.

If a person doesn’t swallow the food or water, then it won’t break their fast. Smoking can also break the fast during Ramadan. If a person is suffering due to health issues, then they are excused from fasting.

He said to not use toothpaste while brushing the tooth. He explained that the paste can reach the throat and break the fast. Grand Mufti also explained makeup rules. According to The National, he urged women to remove nail polish ahead of ablution before prayers. However, lipstick or any cream on the skin does not break fast.

The holy month of Ramadan started in the UAE on March 23.

-
The visit of H.H Sheik Khaled bin Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi to India is more than just a mere ceremonial occasion; this visit stands as a clear testimony of the longevity and dynamism of UAE-India relations. This association has become complex over time involving not just the economy but also major concerns such as sustainable development, trade, climate action etc. The dynamic relationship between the two nations has been redefined from their historical links into contemporary strategic alliances which makes this visit a natural follow-on from long-standing ties.

This has been done through several high-profile exchanges including the signing of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Agreement in 2017 which made these...

The UAE's AI Ambitions Get a Boost with Nvidia Chip Approval: A Game-Changer for the Gulf Region.

-
The advance made by the United States in the approval of cutting-edge Nvidia chips to G42 is a historic development for UAE’s artificial intelligence ambitions. This strategy thus not only represents significant technological growth but also marks an important political milestone for UAE that wants to portray itself as a global hub for technology. In particular, accessing advanced AI technologies such as Nvidia’s H100 models has been significantly hindered over the years due to fears about UAE-China relations, with the US tightening its export restrictions in the area. However, this recent endorsement—a fact which received little attention—shows that there is now greater strategic flexibility and demonstrates how committed UAE is towards ensuring it stays clear from any possible Chinese influence if it wants to become one of our most reliable partners. The timing for G42’s bold distribution of these Nvidia chips could not be better. With worldwide AI rivalry heating up after the advent...
