Manama : His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa performed Eid Al Fitr prayers.
His Majesty, along with the attendees, listened to the Eid sermon delivered by Shaikh Dr. Rashid bin Mohammed Al Hajeri, Chairman of the Sunni Endowments Council.
The sermon opened with praise and thanks to Allah Almighty, and prayers and peace upon Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him), his family and companions.
Shaikh Dr. Al Hajeri highlighted that despite the circumstances facing the Kingdom, Eid remains an occasion to express joy and gratitude for the blessings of security and stability, underscoring the importance of unity, cohesion, and standing firmly with the Kingdom’s leadership.
He also paid tribute to the Kingdom’s servicemen stationed at its borders, commending their dedication in safeguarding the nation and its security.
The sermon further addressed the recent Iranian attacks targeting the Kingdom, describing them as a flagrant violation of all norms, laws, and sanctities, which endangered lives and spread fear among civilians. He praised Bahrain’s leadership for its efforts and the broad international support reflected in the United Nations Security Council resolution, backed by 136 countries, condemning the Iranian attacks on GCC states and Jordan and calling for their immediate cessation, as well as an end to all forms of provocation or threats against neighbouring states.
Shaikh Dr. Al Hajeri concluded with prayers for the continued success of His Majesty the King and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Prime Minister. He also prayed for the Kingdom’s servicemen stationed in defence of its security, and that Allah Almighty accept the fasting and good deeds of all, grant many returns of the holy month of Ramadhan, and preserve the Kingdom and Muslim nations from all harm.
Following the prayers, His Majesty exchanged Eid greetings with attendees, expressing appreciation for their kind sentiments. His Majesty also extended his congratulations to the people of Bahrain on the occasion of Eid Al Fitr, praying that it returns with continued prosperity, blessings, and progress for the Kingdom, and with honour and advancement for the Arab and Islamic nations.
Attendees, in turn, extended their sincere congratulations and best wishes to His Majesty, praying for his health, happiness, and long life, and for his ongoing success in leading the Kingdom’s development process.
His Majesty conveyed his greetings on the occasion, wishing everyone a blessed Eid and expressing hope that the coming days would further inspire achievement and continued national contributions in service of Bahrain.
