HM offers Eid prayers in Nizwa
The Sultanate of Oman celebrated the first day of Eid Al Adha on Friday. Meanwhile, His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik offered the prayers of Eid Al Adha for the year 1446 AH at the Sultan Qaboos Mosque in the Wilayat of Nizwa in Al Dakhiliyah Governorate. Dr Mohammed bin Said al Maamari, Minister of Awqaf and Religious Affairs, led the worshippers and delivered the Eid sermon, thanking the Almighty Allah for the blessings of peace and praying for the soul of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). The sermon underscored that Haj is a purification of the heart and that a nation is built upon covenant and empowerment. It affirmed that security is the cornerstone of development and that true prosperity begins with intention before construction and with purpose before cultivation. Loyalty to the land, it declared, lies not in its material wealth but in its people — those who inhabit it with devotion and faith. Life, it reminded, is not granted to those who merely wait, but to those who strive. The land's blessings flourish when sincere intention stirs in a heart that first believes, then acts. The sermon further emphasised that nations rise when a leader guides with unwavering integrity, followed by generations who uphold his vision, echo his prayers, affirm their allegiance and perform the rites of gratitude. It also addressed the divine prohibition against contentious debate, warning that it sows hatred and discord. Rising above such disputes, it asserted, is a mark of wisdom in nation-building and a revival of timeless principles. Just as 'there is no argument in Haj,' there should be no dispute over a nation's foundational truths. Every idea has its moment and every critique its boundaries. Reason must temper words before they are spoken; and dignity and sanctity must be upheld. Further, the sermon reaffirmed that loyalty to the homeland is everlasting, its progress unceasing. In the hearts of its people lies an unbreakable covenant — one that binds them together, protects what has been built with wisdom and resolve; and guides their steps forward with clarity and sincerity. Together, they engage in dialogue with wisdom, offer critique with responsibility and advance with confidence. After performing the Eid prayers, His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik accepted greetings from well-wishers and exchanged cordial sentiments with them. As His Majesty the Sultan left the Mosque, the artillery fired twenty-one rounds in salutation of the Supreme Commander. After that, the Royal motorcade of His Majesty the Sultan left. The prayers were performed alongside His Majesty the Sultan by some of their highnesses members of the Royal Family, Al Busaid dignitaries, ministers, advisors, commanders of the Sultan's Armed Forces (SAF), the Royal Oman Police (ROP) and other military and security services, some members of the State Council and Majlis Ash'Shura in the Al Dakhiliyah Governorate, under-secretaries, walis, shaikhs and citizens. — ONA 3035241
