Jeddah : Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah congratulated Muslims on the successful completion of Ramadan. The King extended his best wishes for the Eid to world Muslims.
On the occasion of Eid Al-Fitr, the King said: “Eid brings joy to the hearts of Muslims after having engaged in worship during the month of Ramadan,” he said. “Allah will reward Muslims who have abstained from indulgence,” he said. The king’s speech was issued by Culture and Information Minister Abdulaziz Khoja. Some vested interests are tarnishing the noble image of Islam and using it to perpetuate terrorism across the world, the King has warned. In his Eid Al-Fitr address to the citizens, expatriates and the Muslims worldwide, King Abdullah said the Kingdom has taken several measures to root out the scourge of terrorism and to protect the country’s security and stability.
“The Muslim nation is facing tough realities as a result of conflict and fanatic rhetoric. The enemies of Islam have preyed on groups who have become easy tools for killing innocent people through perverting the essence of Islamic law to serve their goals and personal interests.” The King said: “It is our duty to advise victims of terrorist brainwashing and will take an affirmative stance against terrorism,” he said. “We will prevent anyone who seeks to hinder national security while affirming our commitment to protecting the Kingdom, its interests, territorial integrity, unity and stability among our people, our guests and our residents.”
King Abdullah said: “Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said engaging in acts of worship, such as fasting and reciting the Qur’an, will tip the scales in favor of Muslims on the Day of Judgment. These acts will undoubtedly bear witness to your sincerity and good deeds.” The king added: “I congratulate you all on the occasion of Eid Al-Fitr from the land of the Two Holy Mosques, where Allah bestowed this blessed country with stability, security and unity under the testament of faith.” He pointed out: “Saudi Arabia was inspired by the great religion of Islam, calling for the rejection of extremism and supporting a moderate stance in every sphere of life.”—————-IANS
What a King? No sympathy for sufferers in Palistine & Gaza.
Most people did not feel happy at this Eid for children were mercilessly kiiled by evil Israels & await punishment on Israel by ALLAH SWT.
King is acting to get rid of terrorists!!! King felt muslim brotherhood is terrorist and Hamas is terrorist group. What a tragedy for Muslims!
The same king is flooding the Indo pakistani state with millions of Petro dollars for promoting madrasas which in turn will be voice for wahabism and extremism.
@jamil, which side are you, I see your ideology is more pervasive than the corrupt “Queen”. I hate the “Queen” and “his” petro-dollar project for the Madarasas is meant to subdue/curb the real Islamic teachings.
But know that this Universe belongs to ALLAH and He will inherit whoever he wishes among HIS obedient servants and the glad tidings are for the Muttaquun (God-fearing ones). May ALLAH strengthen the foundation of the Khilafah and guide its leader.
misuse of Islam is definitely wrong, but to not use it even for humanity is also wrong, muslim world must help to Gaza
