In an atmosphere of faith and spirituality, filled with warmth and harmony, the majlis of Ahmed bin Mohammed Al-Qadi welcomed well-wishers on the occasion of the holy month of Ramadan, emphasizing the pivotal role of such gatherings as authentic platforms for strengthening bonds of affection and reinforcing the values of social cohesion. Community leaders and residents from all walks of life, including social figures, intellectuals, and businesspeople, flocked to the majlis to exchange greetings and blessings on this auspicious occasion, in a scene that reflects the deep human connections uniting the people of the nation.
Deeply rooted cultural heritage and historical background
Majlis gatherings, especially those held during Ramadan, are an integral part of the cultural and social fabric of Saudi Arabia and the Arabian Gulf region. They represent a continuation of a rich historical legacy dating back centuries, when these gatherings served as miniature parliaments and centers of public life. News was exchanged within them, tribal or community affairs were discussed, disputes were resolved, and guests were received. They also served as platforms for knowledge, literature, and poetry. Over time, these majlis gatherings have retained their essence as meeting places for generations, where customs, traditions, and authentic values are passed down from fathers to sons, remaining a testament to the generosity of hospitality and the deep-rooted traditions of the community.
The importance of the event and its societal impact
In his address to the attendees, Ahmed bin Mohammed Al-Qadi affirmed that “these gatherings represent authentic platforms for strengthening bonds of affection and consolidating the values of unity and solidarity.” He added that receiving well-wishers during the holy month embodies the meaning of genuine brotherhood and reinforces the spirit of purity and tolerance that characterizes this season of faith. He pointed out that these gatherings are an extension of the social heritage based on interconnectedness and direct communication, emphasizing that the majlis will remain a unifying space that reflects the depth of human relationships and supports everything that contributes to serving the community. The importance of such events is not limited to the social aspect alone, but extends to strengthening national unity and reinforcing the home front by providing an informal platform where officials and citizens meet, barriers dissolve, and thus contribute to building a stronger and more cohesive society.
The meeting concluded with prayers that God would bring back the blessed month to everyone with goodness, prosperity, and blessings, and that He would perpetuate the blessings of security, stability, and prosperity upon the nation under its wise leadership. These gatherings reflect a bright and civilized image of the Kingdom, showcasing to the world its adherence to its values and heritage while moving forward into the future.
