The National Day of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a picture of splendor and creativity, through which we draw a history studded with progress and civilization. His heart beats loyalty and obedience to the people.
This great country is the result of the determination of a brave king who restored the glories of the Saudi state. The founder was able to establish the foundations of his government, unify his land, unite his people, and purify his faith. Let the fair-minded people in the east and west of the earth testify to him that he is the godfather of leadership and the first king of politics, and that he has established a strong building in a land that God Almighty has honored with its religious status, as it is the place of revelation and the starting point of the Muhammadan message.
The eighty-seventh National Day of our Kingdom makes us shed light on the wonderful stances of our King, Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz (may God prolong his life), and his trustworthy Crown Prince, Prince Muhammad bin Salman bin Abdulaziz (may God protect and preserve him), in order to raise this country to the ranks of developed countries. In politics, military force and the national economy, their tireless work to preserve this homeland, and their dedication to seizing the pillars of strength for the Kingdom's position in the Middle East and among the countries of the whole world.
One of the fruits of this national day is that the word unites, the class unites, the whispers of disunity dissolve, and the bonds of the Muslim community strengthen.. so that the segments of the same society with its various races, sects and sects contribute, to be a constructive supporter with the unremitting efforts that the Kingdom of Humanity and Giving offers to serve the nation. And the citizen at home, and the service of brothers and friends abroad.
The heroics of the armed forces and military forces are to preserve our achievements, support our brothers, and have mercy on the martyrs who will remain in the memory of the nation and its wise leadership. We ask God for victory and empowerment for our country and our wise leadership.
I cannot help but praise the Kingdom's stances in defending Islamic and Arab causes firmly and steadfastly through its military and relief support for the peoples with whom we are bound by bonds of brotherhood and friendship and with whom we share common interests, as well as the continuous excellence in welcoming the guests of Rahman during this year's Hajj season and the tremendous efforts in serving Pilgrims, which has become referred to as Lebanon and the superior ability to organize such a large gathering of Islam and Muslims.
Finally, I offer my best congratulations on this National Day to my Lord, the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and his trustworthy Crown Prince, and I ask the Lord, whose might is great, to bring him back to this country while he is in prosperity and progress. I ask God to protect our brave soldiers defending the borders of the homeland, and perpetuate the blessing of security, safety, safety and Islam.
