Saudi Arabia’s King Salman on Friday said he hoped stability and security would prevail across the world as Muslims celebrate the Eid el Fitr holiday.
Eid el Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan, is observed with morning prayers, family get-togethers, the giving of gifts and charitable donations.
“With Allah’s help, we hope that Eid comes and offers stability, security and reassurance to our region and the entire world,” King Salman said in a speech that was delivered by Salman Al Dossary, the Minister of Media.
He greeted Saudi citizens, residents and Muslims around the world for the holiday.
Giving thanks for “Allah the Almighty’s uncountable blessings”, King Salman said millions of Muslim pilgrims were able to perform Umrah during Ramadan this year.
