In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

All praises are due to Allah, many good and blessed praises, and peace and blessings be upon the gift of mercy and grace on us, our Prophet Muhammad Ibn Abdullah, and upon his family and companions, as well as those who follow him.

The National Day of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is an outstanding event for us all as Saudis. This is because of its signs of unity and integration, and because of proving to us every year the leaps our beloved country is taking to compete with other nations to achieve development and progress. Towards this goal, our nation is being equipped with faith and hoping to build momentum to reach the top, thanks to Allah and to the government and people whose aim is only for Allah, and who have sacrificed their blood and souls for their beloved nation.

On this blessed occasion, the 89th anniversary of the National Day of our beloved kingdom, it is my pleasure to extend sincere congratulations to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques along with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Muhammad bin Salman bin Abdulaziz (may Allah safeguard them).

I would also like to extend congratulations to His Excellency Prof. Abdullah bin Omar Bafail, President of Umm Al-Qura University, and all the staff and students of our esteemed university.

I supplicate Allah to perpetuate upon this country its faith, leadership, security, and stability; indeed, He is the One Who is capable of doing this. Finally, peace and blessings of Allah be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and companions.
