Your Majesty, As our dear homeland Oman celebrate alongside the Arab and Islamic nations the advent of Eid Al Adha, I am honoured to extend to Your Majesty, in the name of all security services, the most sincere greetings and sentiments, praying to the Almighty Allah to grant you good health and happiness and to have this occasion and similar occasions return, for many years to come, and find Your Majesty adorned in glory and grandeur—with Oman and its loyal people enjoying bounty, security and prosperity under Your Majesty’s wise leadership.
The days of Your Majesty’s magnificent reign unfold graciously under the divine guardianship of the Almighty Allah and amid manifestations of love and allegiance from your loyal people. The religious events of our Islamic history reaffirm that hardships and difficulties are the fate of great nations and that victory and success remain aspirations of their epic parades, which cannot be realized without earnest efforts and sacrifices.
Nations make progress confidently and overcome predicaments through the collaboration of their offspring and by rallying around their leaderships, with full conviction in the wisdom of these leaderships and with trust in the perseverance of their troops in every sphere of action.
Your Majesty,
The Almighty Allah endowed Oman with many riches and plentiful bounties, the most evident of which is your insightful vision and prudent leadership, evinced in your consolidation of principles of security, peace, ardent and constructive work aimed to secure a prosperous future for Oman and to safeguard the accomplishments of its glorious history—in preservation of your ancestors, Sultans of Oman. Your Majesty has thus shielded the edifices of security and enshrined their intactness under your noble patronage, so that security remains the objective of nations and justice the mainstay of rule and authority—all but for the sake of human happiness.
Your Majesty, the Supreme Commander
On behalf of Your Majesty’s lofty Royal Office and your Royal guard and fortified castle, the Special Force, we all rally as a uniform column to reiterate to Your Majesty our allegiance and our vow of sacrifice under Your Majesty’s leadership, acting in cooperation with all civil and military sectors to realize your Royal pledge to the loyal people of Oman.
We all pray to the Almighty Allah to protect Your Majesty and guard you, under His divine care, as a great Sultan, prudent leader and kind father. We pray to the Almighty Allah to grant you success in all your endeavors to promote Oman’s status and sustain its security, stability, progress and prosperity.
In his cable, Lt.Gen Al Hilali, said: Your Majesty Sultan Haitham Bin Tarik. May the Almighty Allah protect you!
I am honoured to extend to Your Majesty a message of greetings and heartfelt sentiments on the advent of Eid Al Adha, praying to the Almighty Allah to grant you good health, wellbeing and a long life. We also pray to the Almighty Allah to enable Your Majesty to promote Oman to the highest status so that the Sultanate, under Your Majesty’s Royal patronage, sports the most marvelous manifestations of peace.
Your Majesty,
It has been the Almighty Allah’s providence that this notable occasion coincides with the passing of 200 days since Your Majesty has assumed the reins of power in this dear homeland, which, with your coronation, has been bedecked in splendor, nestled in security and tranquility and then marched forward in the paths of modernization under Your Majesty’s vigilant attention. It is prime time we thanked the Almighty Allah for placing Oman, since antiquity, in the hands of most the magnificent of men, till its helm has been passed on to Your Majesty, as pure and as glorious as can be.
Your Majesty,
The Almighty Allah has predestined Eid Al Adha as testimony to the values of sacrifice and self-denial, a precursor of purge from every dilemma and relief from every enigma. Oman, God willing, will regain its full wellbeing and it will remain, under Your Majesty’s model approach, an oasis of peace and prosperity.
Your Majesty,
We, in your trustworthy Security Service, are honoured to salute Your Majesty on this occasion and to reiterate our vow of allegiance, pledging to remain truthful to our national duty; our wills will kindle and not dwindle; our quest is to meet your satisfaction and gain your Royal confidence.
Happy Eid, Your Majesty.
In his cable, Lt. Gen Hassan bin Mohsen Al Shariqi said: Your Majesty Sultan Haitham Bin Tarik, the Supreme Commander. May the Almighty Allah protect you! Peace be upon you.
I am honoured, and so are personnel of the Royal Oman Police (ROP), to extend to Your Majesty the best wishes of bounty and blessings on the occasion of Eid Al Adha, praying that this happy occasion and similar occasions will come back again and again when Your Majesty enjoys wellbeing and good health and when the Sultanate and its people relish the riches of prosperity and growth.
Your Majesty,
Our dear homeland Oman is celebrating Eid Al Adha this year, but has been the Almighty’s will that a global pandemic prevails in many countries, including the Sultanate. The pandemic's impacts dictated a calculated compromise between pursuing requirements of life and maintaining precautions of health and safety. The great attention accorded by Your Majesty to your people and your Royal directives to utilize all resources and efforts (towards the protection of the population) have alleviated the impacts of this pandemic and facilitated life, thanks be to the Almighty Allah mercy of his beings.
Your Majesty,
As they shoulder their responsibility of establishing security, the personnel of the ROP have mobilized all their capabilities, unlocked their full potential and stayed vigilant to implement preventive measures against the spread of the disease, working side by side with their counterparts in other sectors, to secure Omani people’s health and safety.
May the Almighty Allah protect Your Majesty, the Sultanate and its noble people!
May He eternalize His plentiful bounties on all!
Happy Eid, Your Majesty.
