AMMWEC Sends Warm Wishes to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on National Day
The advocacy group prayed for the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and the Crown Prince, calling Saudi Arabia’s soil a place held dear by Muslims everywhere.
As the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia marked its National Day, the American Muslim & Multifaith Women’s Empowerment Council (AMMWEC) — led by Dr. Anila Ali — issued a public message of congratulations to the Saudi government and people, offering prayers for the country’s leadership and wishing it continued peace, security and prosperity.
In a statement shared on its social channels, AMMWEC congratulated “the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Saudi people on this proud national occasion,” extending its greetings to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, and to His Royal Highness Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman.
The group framed its message in explicitly religious terms, noting the place the Kingdom holds for Muslims worldwide as home to Islam’s two holiest sites, Mecca and Medina.
“As Muslims, we hold a special place in our hearts for the land of the Two Holy Mosques and pray for its peace, security and prosperity.” — AMMWEC, National Day statement
The organization closed its message with a prayer for the Kingdom’s continued wellbeing under its current leadership.
AMMWEC’s greeting names two figures whose titles anchor Saudi Arabia’s system of governance. King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud has served as the Kingdom’s monarch since 2015 and holds the honorific Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, a title used by Saudi rulers in reference to their stewardship of Mecca and Medina. Mohammed bin Salman holds the posts of Crown Prince and Prime Minister, roles that place him at the center of the Kingdom’s day-to-day governance.
The message circulated under a cluster of hashtags tying it to the wider National Day conversation online:
