Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud extended Ramadan wishes to Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa. He expressed hopes for health, security, and stability in Syria as Ramadan approaches. Meanwhile, several Arab nations will search for the crescent moon on Friday to officially start the fasting month, coinciding with significant political changes in Syria’s leadership following Bashar al-Assad’s departure.

On Thursday, Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud conveyed heartfelt Ramadan greetings to Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa. In his message, King Salman expressed his best wishes for President al-Sharaa’s health and well-being, as well as hopes for security and stability in Syria during the sacred month of Ramadan. He further extended his wishes that this period brings goodness and blessings to all Islamic nations.

As Ramadan approaches, several Arab and Islamic nations are scheduled to observe the crescent moon on Friday, which will mark the official commencement of the fasting month. This annual tradition is crucial for determining the start of Ramadan, a significant time for Muslims worldwide.

In the backdrop of this greeting, it is noted that Bashar al-Assad, who led Syria for nearly 25 years, has sought refuge in Russia since December 8, marking a significant change in governance. Following this, President al-Sharaa was appointed on January 29, and he has tasked Mohammed Al-Bashir with establishing a new government to navigate Syria’s transitional phase.

In conclusion, the Saudi monarch’s Ramadan greetings to the Syrian President reflect a desire for unity and peace during a time of spiritual reflection. The ongoing moon sighting preparations signify cultural traditions, while the political updates from Syria underline the country’s evolving leadership under new administration. This year’s Ramadan is especially poignant as it occurs amidst these significant changes in Syria’s governance.
