Introduction: Congratulations to the wise leadership on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr
The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, may God protect him, addressed a comprehensive message to the citizens and residents of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and to Muslims worldwide, on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr. This message was delivered on his behalf by His Excellency the Minister of Media, Mr. Salman bin Yousef Al-Dossari. The message reaffirms the deep bond between the leadership and the people, and renews the Kingdom's unwavering commitment to its deeply rooted Islamic and humanitarian values.
Thank God for completing the month of fasting and prayer
The speech began with praise and gratitude to God for enabling Muslims to complete the fast and prayers of the blessed month of Ramadan, citing the verse that urges the completion of the prescribed period and glorifies God for His guidance. The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques extended his sincerest congratulations and blessings to the entire Muslim Ummah, asking God Almighty to accept everyone's good deeds, to make this Eid an opportunity to spread goodness and peace, and to bring it back to the Kingdom and the Muslim world with prosperity, security, and stability.
The honor of serving the guests of God: a historical priority and a firmly established approach
The royal address emphasized one of the greatest blessings bestowed upon the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia: the honor of caring for the Two Holy Mosques and serving their visitors, including pilgrims performing Hajj and Umrah. Historically, since the unification of the Kingdom by its founder, King Abdulaziz Al Saud (may God have mercy on him), and continuing into the present era of prosperity, the Saudi state has placed serving the guests of God at the forefront of its priorities. In this context, King Salman stressed that the Kingdom has dedicated all its material and human resources to fulfilling this sacred duty, affirming that efforts are ongoing to provide everything necessary for the comfort, safety, and security of the pilgrims.
This confirmation is in line with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030, which seeks to improve the quality of services provided to Umrah pilgrims and Hajj pilgrims, and to expand the capacity of the Two Holy Mosques to host millions of Muslims annually in a healthy, safe and technologically advanced environment.
The success of the operational plans for the Ramadan season
The speech highlighted the remarkable success achieved, by the grace of God, during the holy month of Ramadan, during which millions of Muslims were able to perform Umrah and prayers at the Two Holy Mosques with ease and tranquility. This success would not have been possible without the comprehensive system of care and organization involving various governmental and private entities, and the dedicated efforts of the nation's sons and daughters in the security, health, and service sectors, reflecting the Kingdom's high level of competence in managing massive crowds.
The Kingdom's pivotal role in supporting global peace and stability
At the regional and international levels, the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques' address highlighted the Kingdom's tireless efforts to support global peace. Saudi Arabia plays a leading role in containing regional and international crises and in offering diplomatic and humanitarian initiatives to alleviate the suffering of affected populations. The address emphasized that the Kingdom's stances on the unfortunate events unfolding in the region stem from its unwavering commitment to maintaining security and stability, rejecting extremism, and promoting dialogue and peaceful coexistence among nations.
Conclusion: A prayer for the homeland and the soldiers stationed on the front lines
In closing, the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques offered a heartfelt prayer to God Almighty to protect the valiant heroes of the armed forces and the soldiers stationed on the borders and frontiers, who sacrifice their lives for the homeland and the defense of its holy sites. He also asked God to perpetuate the blessings of security, safety, and prosperity upon the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and to protect the Muslim world and the entire world from all harm, concluding by extending his congratulations to everyone on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr.
