Royal congratulations on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr
The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, King of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, addressed a message of paternal and leadership congratulations to the citizens, residents, and the Arab and Islamic nations on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr. This message was posted on His Majesty's official Twitter account (formerly known as "X"), in which he expressed his deepest gratitude and praise to God Almighty for His grace and blessings in enabling him to complete the fasting and prayers of the blessed month of Ramadan.
The tweet included a prayer for security and stability
In his official tweet, King Salman said: “We thank God Almighty for enabling us to complete the fasting and prayers of the blessed month of Ramadan. We ask God to perpetuate our security and stability, and to protect our brave heroes on the front lines and borders in all military and civilian sectors. May you all be well every year, and may our country remain in glory and prosperity.” These profound words reflect the wise leadership’s commitment to continuous communication with the citizens of the nation on all religious and national occasions, and embody the close bond between the leadership and the people.
Historical context and regional importance
The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques' Eid greetings are part of a long-standing historical tradition upheld by the kings of Saudi Arabia since its founding by King Abdulaziz bin Abdulrahman Al Saud – may God have mercy on him. These great Islamic occasions represent an opportunity to renew bonds of affection. Eid greetings in the Kingdom hold a special significance and prestige, given its status as the birthplace of revelation and the Qibla of Muslims, thus giving its leadership's messages a wide resonance that extends throughout the Islamic world, underscoring the Kingdom's pioneering and spiritual role.
Focus on the blessing of security and the brave soldiers
The royal message of congratulations focused on two crucial aspects. The first was a prayer for continued security and stability, as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is considered an oasis of peace and security in a region experiencing numerous changes. This stability is the cornerstone upon which the comprehensive development and renaissance the country is currently experiencing are built. The second prominent aspect was the gracious gesture towards the valiant heroes stationed on the front lines. The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques' dedication of a portion of his prayer to these men reflects the profound appreciation for their immense sacrifices in protecting the nation's resources. They are the vigilant guardians who ensure the Kingdom's safety and enable citizens and visitors to the Two Holy Mosques to perform their religious rites and celebrate their holidays in peace and tranquility.
