“Oh Allah , grant the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques good health and wellness, and reward him with the best reward for what he has given and is giving to Islam and Muslims. Oh Allah, forgive us all on this night. Oh Allah, grant success to your servant Mohammad bin Salman and reward him with the best reward for what he offers to his religion, his country, and the Muslims. Oh Allah, protect us with Your mercy, and make us free from the mercy of anyone else. Oh Allah, grant victory to our brothers in Palestine,” Sheikh Sudais supplicated.
As the president of the General Presidency for the Affairs of the Two Holy Mosques of Islam, Sheikh Sudais holds a pivotal role in overseeing the administration of Al-Haram Mosque in Mecca and the Prophet’s Mosque in Medina, symbolizing his deep-rooted commitment to serving Islam and its followers.
Preceding this momentous event, Muslims across Saudi Arabia were called upon to sight the crescent moon on the 29th of Ramadan, corresponding with Monday, April 8, 2024, on the Gregorian calendar.
