Saudi King hopes Eid would bring stability to region, world

The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, hoped that Eid Al-Fitr would bring stability and security to the region and the world, Asharq Al-Awsat reports.

In a speech delivered on April 20, Minister of Media, Salman bin Yousef Al-Dosari, on the occasion of the Eid, King Salman said: “We are pleased to congratulate you on the blessed Eid Al-Fitr. May Allah accept from all of us the fasting of Ramadan month, the prayers and good deeds. May Allah return to all of us Eid for many years, as we, you, our country, and all the countries of the world enjoy security, peace, and tranquility.”

“It is Allah's grace that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has the great honor of serving the Two Holy Mosques and watching over the comfort of the pilgrims, Umrah performers, and visitors of the Two Holy Mosques, and we are very proud of that,” he said.

“Millions of Umrah performers were able to perform Umrah rituals during Ramadan this year,” he added.

“This would not have been possible without the grace of Allah and the tireless efforts of numerous government sectors to serve Umrah performers and enable them to perform Umrah with ease and comfort.”

He also hoped that “Eid comes and offers stability, security, and reassurance to our region and the entire world.”
