Will I get a labor ban for resigning during my probation period?

Q: I would like to know if the actions of my employer are eligible.
I have been working for the company for more than 3 years. I got pregnant a few months back and I informed the management of my company about this.
I have been told that I can't go on maternity leave and I should submit my resignation letter asap, otherwise, the employer is going to terminate me with a ban or something like this, they did not clarify.
I do not want to lose the job. I just want to know if the law protects me in this situation.

If someone has a case in the UAE, can they travel to another GCC country? 2
Hi.
One of my friends joined a Telegram group. They said, "We will transfer some amount to your account, and your task is to transfer this amount to another account. Once the task is completed, you will get 30 or 50 AED per task."
He completed 3 to 4 tasks, but he realized it was not good, so he stopped. After one week, when he opened his account, it was blocked, and the bank said, "We are conducting an investigation; after this, we will let you know."
After some days, he had an accident and went to his home country. He then received a call from a landline number, which was from the Abu Dhabi police station.
They said, "We have received a complaint against you; come to our investigation department." However, due to his surgery and treatment, he could not go.
After some time, his bank account was reopened, and he did not receive any further calls. I want to know, if he comes back to the UAE or goes to any other GCC country, will he face any problems?
If someone has a case in the UAE, can they travel to another GCC country?
Please advise!
