Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz received on Saturday a telephone call from Emir of Kuwait Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah to congratulate him on the advent of the holy month of Ramadan, reported the Saudi Press Agency.

King Salman exchanged congratulations with the Emir, praying to God that the month will be blessed with goodness.

On Friday, King Salman said Ramadan is an opportunity to purify the soul and renounce differences of opinion, adding that it is an excellent season for good deeds and obedience to God.

He prayed to God to assist all Muslims to take maximum advantage of the benefits of Ramadan.

“It is from God’s grace upon us that the holy month of Ramadan brings us relief after hardship with the receding of the coronavirus pandemic,” he said in a message on the advent of the holy month.

He thanked God for the great success achieved through making tremendous efforts in containing the pandemic and overcoming its adverse effects.

“We are proud that God has honored us with granting the opportunity to serve the Two Holy Mosques and Hajj and Umrah pilgrims and visitors to the Holy Mosques.”
