I would like to take this occasion of unity and season of spirituality, in these special ten days of Zul-Hijja, to wish you and your family a very happy and blessed month of Zul-Hijja filled with good deeds, more of which in the first ten days, in accordance with the Sunna, and may Allah accept our repentance, good deeds and accept the efforts of all those performing Hajj.

Au nom du CMM, je voudrais saisir cette occasion pour vous souhaiter à vous et à vos familles un Ramadan béni. Qu’Allah nous facilite le jeûne, qu’il améliore les conditions des musulmans à travers le monde, qu’il les guide à son obéissance, leur accorde la foi, la sécurité, la paix et la prospérité. Qu’Allah Taala accepte notre jeûne, nos prières, nos récitations, nos bonnes actions pendant ce mois sacré et qu’il continue à nous combler de sa miséricorde et de ses bénédictions.
Veuillez ne pas oublier d’appuyer et d’inclure dans vos Douaa (invocations) tous nos frères et sœurs qui luttent pour le changement dans de nombreux endroits à travers le monde ainsi que ceux et celles qui vivent sous l’occupation ou qui sont confrontés à la famine et à la misère.
