Muslim brothers Ramadan is the month of mercy in which we remember that the whole world complains of the scourge of terrorism in all its forms and manifestations. Despite its varied malicious motives, terrorism is a deviation from the normal instinct that does not differentiate between right and wrong and does not respect pledges and sanctities. It has crossed the borders of states and penetrated their relations, spoiling relations among the loved ones and the tolerant and dividing fathers and sons as well as families and groups. My brothers: Islam is the religion of mercy, compassion, love and moderation, which calls for peace, justice and the renunciation of violence and extremism. We ask God in this blessed month to help the Islamic nation and the whole world to root out this scourge and eliminate it. I ask Him to give us help and success and to accept our fasting, prayers and good deeds, wishing you good health every year. Peace, mercy and blessings of God. --SPA 22:28 LOCAL TIME 19:28 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
