With the announcement of the arrival of the holy month of Ramadan, His Royal Highness Prince Saud bin Nayef bin Abdulaziz, Governor of the Eastern Province, sent a congratulatory telegram to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, and to His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, may God protect them.
In his message, the Governor of the Eastern Province expressed his warmest congratulations and best wishes on his own behalf and on behalf of all the residents of the Eastern Province. His Highness said, “It gives me great pleasure to extend, on my own behalf and on behalf of the people of the Eastern Province, my sincerest congratulations and best wishes to Your Majesty on the occasion of the holy month of Ramadan.” He prayed to God Almighty to accept everyone’s fasting, prayers, and good deeds, and to bring this blessed occasion back to the Kingdom, its leadership, and its people with goodness, prosperity, and blessings, and to preserve the nation’s security, stability, and prosperity under its wise leadership.
The importance of the month of Ramadan in the Kingdom and the Islamic world
The month of Ramadan holds a special place in the hearts of Muslims worldwide, and particularly in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the birthplace of revelation and the Qibla of Muslims. It is not merely a month of fasting and worship, but also an occasion to strengthen social and familial bonds and renew faith. The practice of officials offering congratulations to the leadership on such religious occasions is a long-standing tradition that reflects national unity and loyalty, and underscores the cohesion between the leadership and the people—a custom deeply rooted in Saudi and Islamic history.
The congratulatory message and its national dimensions
The congratulatory message from the Governor of the Eastern Province, the Kingdom's economic heartland and one of its most vital regions, carries profound significance. It is not merely a matter of protocol, but a message of loyalty and support from the Governor of a strategic region to the nation's leadership. This message also reflects the voice of the people of the Eastern Province, expressing their sincere feelings towards their leadership and renewing their pledge of obedience and loyalty for the sake of the nation's advancement and prosperity. The prayer for continued security and stability in the congratulatory message is particularly important, as it underscores that stability is the cornerstone of the development and progress the Kingdom is witnessing across all sectors within the framework of Vision 2030.
Local and regional impact
Domestically, such messages contribute to strengthening national identity and social cohesion. Regionally and internationally, they showcase the Kingdom's political stability and internal unity, reinforcing its position as a pivotal and influential nation in the Islamic world and on the global stage. This message of congratulations, along with similar messages from regional governors and senior officials, forms a unified national picture reflecting the nation's solidarity behind its wise leadership.
