The roots of national unity in Islamic holidays
Islamic holidays in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia are significant historical and social milestones that reflect the deep bond between the leadership and the people. Historically, since the unification of the Kingdom by its founder, King Abdulaziz Al Saud (may God have mercy on him), these occasions have been an opportunity to renew loyalty and allegiance, and to exchange greetings among all segments of society, state officials, and the wise leadership. This continuous communication embodies the authentic Islamic and Arab values upon which the Kingdom is founded, as officials are keen to express their gratitude and appreciation for the efforts made in serving the nation and its citizens, and in serving the Two Holy Mosques, which is one of the greatest historical pillars of the Saudi state, and which is most clearly manifested during the seasons of Ramadan and Hajj.
