On the occasion of Eid al-Fitr, Saudi King Salman said: “We praise God Almighty for making the blessed Eid al-Fitr a sign of goodness and satisfaction, after completing the fasting and qiyam during the month of Ramadan.”
“What the Eid embodies is; Hope, optimism and happiness, and we pray to God to remove from us and the entire world all evil, and for us all to maintain security, stability and tranquility,” King Salman said in a tweet.
