During his discourse with the faithful, Dr. Al-Issa implored Muslims to hold Palestinians in their thoughts and prayers throughout the Eid festivities, underscoring the challenges faced by their brethren in Gaza.
He beseeched the Almighty to grant a favorable resolution to their adversities and to bring those accountable for acts of aggression and hubris to justice.

Meanwhile, Ministry of Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony Spokesperson Muhammad Umar Butt said Dr. Al-Issa intended to spend Eid at an orphanage.
