His statement:

“I congratulate my fellow Muslims across the world for the successful completion of the fasting period for the Hijra 1444.

“This year’s Ramadan has come and gone and while we pray that all of us should witness the next one in good health, we need to consciously work on becoming better Muslims, better citizens, and better individuals who are working to give a good account to Almighty Allah (SWT) on the Day of Judgement. That is why we have to find a way to sustain the values of piety, tolerance, humility, good neighbourliness, honesty, and patriotism in our daily lives.

“I urge us all to reflect on the teachings of Islam and the lessons learned during Ramadan in our activities as citizens of this great country. This is the only way we can save our country.

“We must not cease praying for our country. This is a great country that Almighty Allah (SWT) has blessed with all the necessary materials for her greatness. We have to do our part for the manifest destiny of our country to be realised.

“While I pray to Almighty Allah (SWT) to help us break all the jinx holding our country down, I call on Allah (SWT) to protect all our men and women in the security agencies who are at the frontlines confronting the enemies. May Allah (SWT) give them victory over the enemy and heal our land. Eid Mubarak to all Muslims.
