The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques:
My sons and daughters, my brothers and sisters, citizens and residents, in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and Muslims everywhere.
May the peace, blessings, and mercy of Allah be upon you:
I congratulate you on Eid Al-Fitr and happy new year.
We thank Allah for completing the blessed month of Ramadan for us, and we ask Him, the Almighty, to accept fasting and prayer from us and from you, and to bring it back to us with goodness and joy.
We thank Allah Almighty that we have reached the happy Eid al-Fitr, in which the meanings of mutual affection, compassion, love and tolerance are embodied.
Allah Almighty has bestowed upon us in our country, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, many blessings, including the blessing of united speech, unity of ranks, and the honor of serving the Two Holy Mosques, and the pilgrims, Umrah performers and visitors who go to them, continuing the path of the founder, King Abdulaziz bin Abdul Rahman - may Allah have mercy on him - and his sons, the kings of this blessed country. After him.
We thank Allah Almighty for granting millions of pilgrims, in the blessed month of Ramadan, the ability to perform Umrah rituals easily and smoothly, thanks to God, and then for the continuous efforts made by the state sectors to serve the guests of the Most Merciful, to facilitate the performance of their worship and the carrying out of their rituals. We ask Allah to accept good deeds from us and from them.
As we welcome Eid al-Fitr this year, we affirm the necessity of stopping attacks on the Palestinian people, providing safe humanitarian and relief corridors, and ending their suffering by enabling them to obtain all their legitimate rights, including establishing their independent state and living in safety.
We ask Allah Almighty to preserve our country’s security, safety and stability, through His grace and generosity, Glory be to Him.
Happy new year.
Peace, mercy and blessings of Allah be upon you.
