On the completion of the holy month of Ramadan, during which millions of faithful Muslims in reverence and prayer remember the tradition of the Koran as the guide of their lives, I wish to address wholehearted wishes brotherly wishes to our Muslim citizens in the blessed country of Egypt and to all Muslims around the Arab world, expressing the hope that love will prevail as common and inviolate, consisting of the words and works of the people.
A particular festive greeting is addressed to His Excellency the President of the Arab Republic of Egypt, Dr Mohamed Morsi, with the prayer that he will lead the country in safety on the path of prosperity, peace and justice. In this effort for a tomorrow that is hopeful he will have as a valuable companion the unwavering faith of all Egyptians, regardless of religious identity, in the indestructible power of the supreme source of love and wisdom, the One and Only God, to cover and protect Egypt from all adversity and attack.
