The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, and Crown Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, the Deputy Premier, Minister of Defense and Aviation and Inspector General, have issued a joint speech to mark the occasion of the blessed Eid-Alfitr of the year 1426 H. Following is the text of the speech read tonight on the media by Minister of Information and Culture Iyad bin Ameen Madani: Dear brothers and sisters in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, peace be upon you As we get ready for the celebrating of Eid Alfitr Almubarak, the first thought comes to the mind is how to purify one's field after the month of Ramadan. The experience of fasting is truly worth knowing. One can only hope and pray that those values that Ramadan has embodied will continue to be present in our conduct throughout life. They are the values of care, solidarity, brotherhood and tolerance. May Allah accept what we have all endeavored to offer during this very special month. --More 0002 Local Time 2102 GMT
