Ahmed bin Mahmoud Mohammed bin Miran bin Karam bin Notak bin Shahdad bin Suleiman bin Kahzo bin Banki bin Issa Al-Huoti Al Blooshi [1] [2] [3] was born in the city of Al Ain in 1923 (1342 AH), and he lived there most of his childhood years, moving around to work since the seventh year in the city of Al-Buraimi, helping his family to take care of the livestock (cattle), as was the custom of most of his generation at this time. In addition to working in agriculture, he owned a number of camels with which he transported the people to the Sacred House of God.

He began working with the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan in 1958, after the death of his father in 1926. Since Sheikh Zayed said to him, "If your father dies, where is your father now?" as he worked as a clerk, known as "Al-Karani," he was waiting for the secretary in our advanced time. He used to write letters to Sheikh Zayed's brothers, Sheikhs Shakhbut, Hazza, and Khaled in Abu Dhabi, the sheikhs of tribes and clans, and his letters to the governors of Oman and Buraimi, as well as to the Sultan of Oman in Muscat, preparing for the hunting seasons every year and obtaining approvals and permits.

After the late Sheikh Zayed assumed the reins of government in Abu Dhabi in 1966, Mahmoud moved with him to Abu Dhabi, was close to him, and accompanied him when he came and went. He wrote his letters to him, read the letters sent to him, and was informed of many of the economic and social matters in which Sheikh Zayed was involved. In addition to representing, Sheikh Zayed participated in many events and occasions, such as attending weddings or funerals or resolving disputes between tribes, clans, or individuals. He prepared messages from Sheikh Zayed, in which he was known for reconciling disputes.

After the announcement of the federation of the UAE in 1971, Al Baqi remained in the same position until 1973. The late Sheikh Zayed appointed many of the Sukar Mintaria, such as Butti bin Bishr, Saeed bin Sultan Al Darmaki, Ahmed Al Obaidli, Ali Al Sharfa, and many ministers and directors. Language, so he came to Sheikh Zayed, welcoming him to relieve him of his duties, and he said to him, "We do not dispense with all our sincere brothers, and we have a need for you in the eye, so contact it and wait for directions from us."

He went to Al Ain and received Sheikh Zayed's directives and orders from time to time and implemented them as soon as he received them to the fullest extent, as was his custom. Due to his long experience in knowing the tribes, the late Sheikh Zayed made him an expert and advisor to him in tribal affairs, and he continued to hold the title of advisor to His Highness, the President of the State, until his death. The late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan, after which he devoted himself to public work, established his own council, the "Mohammed Ahmed Al Mahmoud Al Balushi Council," which hosted many lectures, lessons, and events.
