A Chance Meeting… or Destiny in Disguise

The first encounter was by chance—strictly professional.
Or so it seemed.
But the heart always knows when a coincidence is simply destiny in disguise.

In a quiet moment amid a life brimming with legal responsibilities and deadlines, the spirit of Osama Regaah met the spirit of Saeed Lootah—
And there it was: a spark, not in the eyes, but deep within the soul.
Here was a man who embodied the very dream Osama had been chasing.

A Genius That Doesn’t Shout… But Awakens

Saeed Lootah was not an ordinary man.
He was one of those rare few who don’t just shape their surroundings… they expand the very meaning of what is possible.

He founded the world’s first Islamic bank when the world couldn’t even imagine such a thing.
He planted schools rooted in values, made economics a mirror of ethics,
And walked through life as if walking through a field of light—
Wherever he passed, a tree grew, an idea bloomed, a purpose stood tall.

When a Human Becomes a School

To Osama, Saeed Lootah wasn’t just a public figure, or a distant inspiration, or a pioneer.
He was an inner voice whispering: “Be what you believe in, even if you walk the path alone.”

He didn’t need to give lectures—
His life itself was an open lesson—
In initiative, in humility, in a vision that could see the invisible.

A Book From the Heart… To Speak to the World

In a moment of gratitude and reflection,
Author and legal expert Dr. Osama Regaah is honored to share the news of the English release of his book:

"The Genius of Saeed Lootah: A Critical Perspective on the Leadership of Islamic Economics and Modern Management"

A work that sheds light on the life of an extraordinary figure in the world of economics, education, and philanthropy:
The late Saeed Ahmad Nasser Lootah
Founder of the first Islamic bank in the world, the UAE’s first cooperative society, first insurance company, Dubai Medical College, Dubai Pharmacy College, and many other educational and business institutions.

A visionary in management, education, and human development.

This translation is a step toward introducing this shining Arab model to readers across the globe—
To offer deeper insight into ethical economics, values-based leadership, and an education that builds the human being—not just transmits information.

Osama dedicates this edition to everyone who believes that leadership can be ethical,
That economics can carry a message,
And that values are inseparable from action.

How One Man’s Impact Can Shape Another’s Life

In moments of doubt, Osama recalled the quiet strength of Saeed Lootah.
In moments of ambition, he drew from his brilliance.
In moments of writing, he made his story a wellspring—and his wisdom a bridge to meaning.

Saeed Lootah’s influence was never theoretical—it was lived, daily,
It seeped into Osama’s words, his decisions, his dreams—
Until it became impossible to separate the vision from the visionary.

Not Just a Mentor… But a Guidepost

Saeed Lootah didn’t leave behind commandments,
He planted an idea—and let it grow silently:

That being useful is more important than being famous.
That you plant not to be remembered,
But so others may eat from the tree in peace.

A Legacy Beyond Numbers

When Osama received an award or was honored for an achievement,
He didn’t think of the titles.
He asked himself:
“Is this truly useful and meaningful?”

Because he doesn’t want to build on land alone—
He wants to build on values.
To create a thought that uplifts—not just a story to be told.

And If He Could Speak to Saeed Lootah Today…

He might say, with a voice full of love:

You planted meaning in me without ever teaching me.
You showed me that silence can speak louder than speeches.
That believing in a dream can be stronger than all circumstances.

I may be one of thousands who were touched by you—
But I strive to be one of the few who turned that inspiration into a life mission,
Who captured it in a book—
So your voice may echo across the world, just as it echoed in my soul.

Saeed Lootah Never Truly Left…

Because people like him never do.
They move on, but remain within us—
In every honest word, in every noble project, in every dream that dares to be big.

And because of them, life continues to bloom—
And people like Dr. Osama Regaah continue to build new worlds,
With quiet strength, with deep clarity, and with an unshakable belief:
That humanity carries a mission—
And meaning… a homeland.
