Sayyid Fahd performs Eid prayer at Al Khour Mosque in Muscat

Muscat: His Highness Sayyid Fahd bin Mahmoud Al Said, Deputy Prime Minister for the Council of Ministers performed Eid-Al-Fitr prayer at Al Khour Mosque in Muscat on the first day of Eid-Al-Fitr.
Sayyid Fahd was accompanied during the Eid prayers by their highnesses, their excellencies, undersecretaries, advisors and prominent figures.
Sheikh Dr. Is’haq bin Ahmed Al Busaidi, Chairman of the Supreme Court and Deputy Chairman of the Supreme Judiciary Council led the Eid prayer. He began the Eid sermon with Takbir (exclaiming God is Great), glorifying and thanking Allah the Almighty for His many blessings and calling on people for integration, mercy and doing good.
The Khutba covered the reward of Allah for those who fasted during Ramadan. Sheikh Dr. Is’haq also called for glorifying Allah and extract lessons from fasting and praying during Ramadan.
Blessings
He added security at home is one of the greatest blessings of Allah onto man. The messengers of Allah and faithful believers appealed to Allah to grant them security.
The Messenger Ibrahim appealed to Allah to grant him security. He even sought to get security even before food; an evidence of its importance and the great risk from its loss. He also said that no one can live without the feeling of security. “A country that has no security is like a barren desert even it is full of gardens and plants,” he added.
The Chainman of the Supreme Court also said that the security we enjoy in Oman is a blessing from Allah in reward of our worship, commitment to Sharia and being away from disobeying our Lord. Allah said in Surat Quraish “So, let them worship Allah, the Lord of this House who feed them against hunger and has made them safe from fear”.
Advice givers and caretakers should play their prospective role in containing events, alleviating nerves and opening channels for quiet dialogue with youth to ensure proper control of their nerves and utilisation of their potentials to serve the nation.
“The feeling of security we have by obeying the teachings of our religion, doing good to our family members, respect elders, show mercy on the weak people and give the due rights of our leaders and remain away from subjectivity and personal desires”.
Sermon
At the end of the sermon, Sheikh Dr. Is’haq appealed to Allah to ensure many happy returns of the day for His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said and to grant him good health, happiness and a long life. He also appealed to Allah to safeguard Oman and all Muslim countries and unify the stance for all Muslims towards good.
After the Eid prayer, Sayyid Fahd received the well-wishers on this occasion. They expressed their best wishes to His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said, praying to Allah the Almighty to grant His Majesty continuous health, happiness and a long life and Oman further progress and prosperity under the wise leadership of His Majesty the Sultan.
Sayyid Fahd thanked all well-wishers, wishing them a blessed and happy Eid. He prayed to Allah the Almighty for the return of this happy and other similar occasions on His Majesty the Sultan with blessings and wellbeing, grant him success for the good of this dear country and to achieve further progress, peace and stability for Oman and its people under his prosperous reign.
