Saudi Gazette, 01/09/2008

“In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate.

“Praise be to Allah who says in the Holy Qur’an, “Ramadan is the (month) in which was sent down the Qur’an, as a guide to mankind, also Clear (Signs) for guidance and judgment (between right and wrong.) And peace be upon Prophet Mohammed who says, “Whoever fasts in Ramadan in belief, his sins will be forgiven”.

Dear brothers and sisters, peace be upon you and every year you are happy and prosperous.

“The holy month of Ramadan comes and Allah makes it a month of blessing to fill us with mercy and forgiveness, to rekindle in ourselves the meanings of kinship and compassion and to renew the supreme values called for by this final religion. Allah revealed in this month the Holy Qur’an, making Ramadan, the master of All months as it is the month of the Holy Qur’an. This month strengthens cohesion and the feelings of compassion and love and builds Islamic society based on great and high morals. In this month, the doors of heavens are open to do the good and to be closer to Allah.
