The Ruler of Sharjah, Sheikh Sultan bin Muhammad Al-Qasimi, performed funeral prayers on Wednesday following the death of his son, Sheikh Khalid bin Sultan Al-Qasimi.

The funeral prayer for Al-Qasimi, 39, who died at a London apartment on Monday, was held at the King Faisal Mosque in Sharjah on Wednesday, where representatives from the other six emirates also attended. As the founder and creative director of the London-based fashion brand Qasim he was widely seen as one of the region’s up and coming streetwear designers. He debuted his first collection in 2008, and has since had success with his lines featuring at both London Fashion Week Men’s and Paris Men’s Fashion Week.
“His goal was to create ‘a world of beautifully crafted products infused with cultural, social and political undertones to inform and inspire.’ A statement from his company read. “The design world has lost a great philosopher and artist, and we ask that the privacy of the family, team and brand are respected at this difficult time.”
The bier carrying Sheikh Khalid's body was then driven to the nearby Al Jubail Cemetery where it was buried in an unmarked grave, decorated with only a few stones.
Tributes have flooded in on social media expressing condolences to the Emir, who lost another son aged 24 in 1999.
The ruler of Sharjah has ordered that flags are flown at half mast and the emirate is currently observing three days of mourning.
