The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Addresses the Nation, Muslim World on Eid Al-Fitr 1447 AH

Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud addressed a message to the citizens and residents of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Muslims worldwide on the occasion of Eid Al-Fitr 1447 AH.

 The message, delivered by Minister of Media Salman Al-Dossary, reads as follows:

 “In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

 All praise belongs to Allah, Lord of the worlds.

 Peace and blessings be upon Prophet Muhammad, his family, and all his companions.

 My dear sons and daughters, my brothers and sisters—citizens and residents of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and my fellow Muslims across the world:

 Peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be upon you.

 We praise Allah and thank Him for helping us to fast and pray during Ramadan. We congratulate you on the blessed Eid Al-Fitr and ask the Almighty to accept all our good deeds. May He make it an Eid of goodness and peace, and return it to our country and the Islamic nation with goodness, security, and stability.

 Brothers and sisters,

 We thank Allah for the many blessings bestowed upon our land, the greatest of which is the honor of caring for the Two Holy Mosques and serving those who visit them. We have dedicated all our resources to this sacred duty, and we promise that our efforts will never cease as we continue to provide everything needed for the comfort and safety of pilgrims. This is the heart of our nation’s mission, as it has been since its very beginning.

 By the grace of Allah, millions of Muslims were able to perform Umrah and pray in the Two Holy Mosques this Ramadan with ease and peace of mind. This was made possible by a dedicated system of care and the sincere, hard work of our own sons and daughters.

 Brothers and sisters,

 The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has made persistent efforts to support global peace and maintain security and stability through its firm approach to containing crises, as demonstrated by its positions regarding the unfortunate events currently affecting the region.

 We ask the Almighty to grant victory to our brave heroes and soldiers stationed on our borders. May He protect our precious homeland, the Islamic nation, and the entire world, and may He bless us with lasting security and prosperity.

 Eid Mubarak to you all.

 Peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be upon you.”
