HH The Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani extended his greetings to citizens and residents of Qatar, as well as to Arab and Islamic nations, on the advent of Eid Al Adha on Friday. أهنئكم بحلول عيد الأضحى المبارك، سائلا الله أن يعيده على أبناء وطننا والمقيمين وأمتينا العربية والإسلامية بالخير واليمن والبركات. كل عام والجميع بخير. — تميم بن حمد (@TamimBinHamad) June 6, 2025 In a post on his X account, Sheikh Tamim prayed to Almighty God to return the Eid to Qatar's citizens and residents, as well as to the Arab and Islamic nations with goodness, blessings, and prosperity. HH The Amir then received Eid Al Adha well-wishers at the Lusail Palace. Following Eid prayer, Sheikh Tamim received Qatar's Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs HE Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, Shura Council Speaker HE Hassan bin Abdullah Al Ghanim, Their Excellencies Sheikhs, Ministers, Undersecretaries, members of the Shura Council, and citizens. He also welcomed senior officers from the Qatar Armed Forces, the Ministry of Interior, and various security services, along with heads of departments and national institutions. HH the Amir also received heads of diplomatic missions in Qatar. The reception was attended by the Personal Representative of HH the Amir HH Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani, HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalifa Al Thani and HE Sheikh Jassim bin Khalifa Al Thani. Earlier in the day, Sheikh Tamim performed Eid Al Adha prayers, alongside several top officials and ministers, among others, at the Lusail Prayer Ground. The Eid sermon was delivered by Dr Yahya Butti Al Nuaimi, who highlighted that Eid is a day of remembrance, joy, and gratitude. He noted that it coincides with the sacred rites of Hajj, the blessed ten days of Dhul-Hijjah, and the virtuous fast of the Day of Arafah. Dr Al Nuaimi stressed that gratitude is among the noblest acts of worship, one that God has enjoined upon His prophets, and that true gratitude involves expressing God's blessings through one's words, heart, and actions in full acknowledgment, submission, and obedience to the Almighty. He further explained that offering the Eid sacrifice is a manifestation of this gratitude and a deed that yields immense reward and virtue. In conclusion, Dr Al Nuaimi emphasized that Eid is a time when souls are purified from base desires and hearts are cleansed of falsehood, hypocrisy, and resentment. He affirmed that the greatest form of Eid is the liberation of the besieged in Gaza from oppression, blockade, and longstanding hostility, as well as the emancipation of the courtyards and surroundings of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque. --- Make sure to check out our social media to keep track of the latest content.
