Greetings from State Council Chairman
His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik on Tuesday received greetings on the occasion of Eid al Fitr from Shaikh Abdulmalik bin Abdullah bin Ali al Khalili, Chairman of the State Council, reading as follows:
Your Majesty, Sultan Haitham Bin Tarik, peace be upon you.
I am honoured, and so are members of the State Council and its Secretariat-General, to express the most heartfelt wishes and sincere greetings to Your Majesty on the occasion of Eid al Fitr, hoping that this occasion will find Your Majesty in full health and happiness this Eid and for many years in future. We wish Omani loyal people and the Arab and Islamic nation harmony and peace.
Your Majesty,
Eid denotes human beings’ return to everyday practices prior to Ramadan after a month of fasting aimed to accustom people to refraining from anything that might be harmful in life like hate or intrigues. Muslims are told by the Almighty Allah to adhere to a life of piety and righteousness after Ramadan and thus benefit the worship of fasting, which include having mercy on each other.
Your Majesty,
We pray to the Almighty Allah that the nation returns to its previous harmony and collaboration in good deeds and reject anything vile, notably to return to the values of reconciliation and compassion.
In this context and under such circumstances, we would like to express our appreciation for the benign efforts undertaken by Your Majesty as Your Majesty takes the torch forward in pursuance of the mission of renaissance espoused by the Sultanate, since the time of the late His Majesty Sultan Qaboos. Your loyal people are content and proud of your wise policies.
We wish Your Majesty a Happy Eid al Fitr.
