Royal Family Celebrates Eid Al-Fitr in Rabat
Amidst the cheers and applause of gathered crowds, King Mohammed VI of Morocco, accompanied by his eldest son, Prince Moulay El Hassan, his brother, Prince Moulay Rachid, and his nephew, Prince Moulay Ahmed, attended a significant religious ceremony at the Ahl Fès Mosque in Rabat on March 20. This occasion marked the celebration of Eid Al-Fitr, a festive event that signifies the conclusion of the holy month of Ramadan. In this fervent atmosphere of devotion and communal spirit, the King, recognized as Amir Al-Mouminine (Commander of the Faithful), carried out the Eid prayer after reviewing a detachment of the Royal Guard, which paid him honors.
Following the prayer, the imam emphasized the spiritual significance of this sacred month for Muslims. During Ramadan, believers engage in reflection and seek blessings, immersing themselves in acts of devotion. The imam recited verses from the Quran, illustrating the virtues of faith and the importance of the good deeds performed throughout the thirty days of fasting. He expressed, "The pious will be in gardens and springs, receiving what their Lord has granted them, for they were previously doers of good: they would sleep little at night and in the last hours of the night, they implored Allah's forgiveness." This poignant reminder served to highlight the essential values of faith and the acts of piety observed during this blessed period.
A Moment of Reflection and Royal Responsibilities
Moreover, the imam prayed for the protection and success of the King and the royal family. Following the prayers, the royal family returned to the palace amidst the booming sound of cannons, signaling the King's collection of well-wishers from various civilian and military figures, including the head of government. However, most notably, he received the best wishes from his close relatives, particularly Prince Moulay Rachid and Crown Prince Moulay El Hassan. This solemn moment marked a significant familial bond between father and son, reinforcing the traditional values upheld by the Moroccan royal family.
Just four days prior, King Mohammed VI, alongside Crown Prince Moulay El Hassan, Prince Moulay Rachid, and Prince Moulay Ahmed, presided over a memorial vigil for Laylat Al-Qadr on March 16, 2026. This night commemorates the revelation of the first verses of the Quran to the Prophet Mohammed, further illustrating the royal family's commitment to faith and tradition during this sacred month.
