HM offers Eid prayers
His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik offered Eid Al Fitr prayers at the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque in the Wilayat of Bausher, Muscat Governorate.
Dr Mohammed bin Said al Maamari, Minister of Awqaf and Religious Affairs, led the prayers. He began the Eid sermon by glorifying Allah the Almighty and praising Him for His blessings and bounties, followed by prayers upon the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
The sermon emphasised that the Almighty Allah created the universe with order, balance and harmony in the laws of life, establishing rulings to ease the path for humanity. It called upon people to uphold righteousness and seek His mercy without negligence.
The sermon further clarified that extremism and rigidity turn life into an "iron cage", while negligence becomes a veil that fails to safeguard its essence. It also emphasised that building nations requires a delicate balance rooted in stability, the preservation of values, adherence to identity and thoughtful planning - achieved through loyalty, belonging and concerted effort to yield fruitful outcomes.
