His Majesty King Hamad yesterday performed afternoon prayer at Sakhir Palace mosque, alongside Royal Family members and scholars, marking the anniversary of the Prophet’s Birthday.
A sermon was delivered by Sunni Endowments Council chairman Dr Shaikh Rashid Al Hajeri, who prayed to Allah the Almighty to protect the members of the Bahraini servicemen in the line of duty, and that he may rest the fallen servicemen in eternal peace.
Dr Al Hajeri expressed his condolences to the King following the act of aggression that resulted in the loss of a number of BDF servicemen, who were participating in the Arab Coalition’s Operation Decisive Storm and Restoring Hope.
The Sunni Endowments Council chairman spoke about the life and virtues of Prophet Mohammed. Dr Al Hajeri prayed to Allah the Almighty to protect His Majesty and bless Bahrain with security and stability under his wise leadership.
The King said that Prophet Mohammed’s birthday was an occasion to recount his virtues which inspire honourable values and promote brotherhood, coexistence, tolerance, love and peace.
Muslims emulate the teachings of the Prophet and build upon the foundations that he had established to develop Arab and Muslim civilisations that took pride in Islam and adherence to the Book of God Almighty and the Sunnah of the Prophet, the King said.
He emphasised Bahrain’s role as a hub for pluralism,
cultural convergence and religious coexistence.
