Sheikh Dr. Abdul Rahman Al-Sudais, the head of religious affairs at the Haramain Sharifain Authority, has expressed his belief that the month of Ramazan will bring blessings for Muslims worldwide. In a statement, he emphasized the significance of Ramadan as a time of spiritual enrichment and growth.
According to Sheikh Al-Sudais, this year is expected to witness a higher number of pilgrims compared to the previous year. He encouraged pilgrims to devote more time to worship and refrain from getting too engrossed in photography, urging them to focus on the spiritual essence of their journey.
On the other hand, Crown Prince Salman Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud extended greetings to the citizens of the kingdom and Muslims worldwide on the arrival of Ramazan. He highlighted the importance of solidarity and support for the international fraternity, particularly in light of the ongoing atrocities against Palestinians.
Crown Prince Salman emphasized the need for the international community to take concrete steps to alleviate the suffering of the Palestinian people. He called for the opening of safe humanitarian corridors and the provision of aid to ensure the well-being and safety of Palestinians.
Both messages underscore the significance of Ramazan as a time for reflection, prayer, and humanitarian action. While Sheikh Al-Sudais focuses on the spiritual aspect of the holy month, Crown Prince Salman’s remarks highlight the importance of compassion and solidarity towards those facing oppression and injustice.
As Muslims around the world observe Ramazan, these messages serve as reminders of the values of compassion, empathy, and unity that are central to Islam. They call upon individuals and communities to embody these principles not only during Ramadan but throughout the year, working towards a more just and compassionate world for all.
