In a scene reflecting the depth of social bonds and the authenticity of Saudi traditions, prominent businessman Ayed Al-Qahtani well-wishers at his majlis in Al-Khobar on the occasion of the holy month of Ramadan.

Ramadan gatherings: A historical legacy and a social beacon
In Saudi Arabia, particularly in the Eastern Province, Ramadan gatherings are more than just social events; they represent a historical and cultural legacy spanning decades. These gatherings have long played a pivotal role in strengthening national unity, serving as miniature parliaments where friendly conversations take place, social issues are discussed, and bonds of kinship and neighborliness are reinforced. The Al-Qahtani Majlis is a continuation of this rich heritage, affirming the enduring traditions passed down from fathers and grandfathers to sons, thus preserving the cohesive social fabric.
Strengthening ties and renewing loyalty
Abdulrahman bin Ayed Al-Qahtani extended his highest congratulations and blessings to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, to His Royal Highness the Governor of the Eastern Province, Prince Saud bin Nayef bin Abdulaziz, and to His Royal Highness the Deputy Governor, Prince Saud bin Bandar bin Abdulaziz, praying to God that this holy month may return to the leadership and the nation with goodness, prosperity and blessings.
Al-Qahtani stressed that this annual tradition witnessed in the councils of the Eastern Province is a fundamental pillar in building social relations, noting that receiving well-wishers during these blessed days strengthens the values of love and brotherhood, and embodies the spirit of one body that characterizes Saudi society.
A platform for constructive dialogue and community partnership
For his part, Mahmoud Al-Ratu’i that Ramadan gatherings in the Eastern Province have become a prominent feature reflecting the spirit and cohesion of the community. He said, “Today, at the majlis of Sheikh Ayed Al-Qahtani, we appreciate the value of these gatherings, which are held daily in Khobar and Dammam, where dignitaries and prominent figures meet in a civilized manner that expresses the depth of the bonds between them.” He added that these gatherings are not merely ordinary meetings, but rather spaces for dialogue, exchanging opinions, and learning about the initiatives taking place in the region, reflecting the level of social harmony and cooperation.
The social and developmental impact of councils
Khazman Al-Shehri explained that Dr. Ayedh bin Farhan's majlis represents a prominent example of a unique social scene that brings together scholars, religious figures, business leaders, and members of the public in one place. He emphasized that these majlises, which are widespread in the region, provide an open space for constructive dialogue and the strengthening of relationships, free from any other considerations, where the only thing that unites attendees is mutual respect and appreciation.
It is worth noting that the importance of these gatherings transcends the traditional social dimension; they contribute directly to enhancing "quality of life," one of the objectives of the Kingdom's Vision 2030, by creating a vibrant society and a strong foundation. As Mubarak Al-Dossari , these meetings can be called "Impactful Gatherings" because of the positive impact they have on people, and because they coincide with cherished national occasions during which we reflect on God's blessings of security, stability, and national unity.
The attendees concluded their meeting by exchanging friendly conversations and sincere prayers that God would perpetuate the blessings of security and safety upon the Kingdom, and that these gatherings would remain beacons of goodness and blessing, serving the community and strengthening its cohesion under the wise leadership.
