Sheikh Dr Thaqeel Sayer al-Shammari, who is a judge at the Court of Cassation and a member of the Supreme Judicial Council, delivered the Eid sermon in which he recalled the blessing of God to his worshippers on such a day, making it an Eid for the people of Islam, after completing fasting and qiyaam.
The Sheikh demonstrated in his sermon the importance of gratitude to Allah as one of the most important places of worship for which the believers are rewarded, calling on the congregation of worshippers to increase their gratitude to Allah for the blessing of faith, and for the blessing of security, stability and reassurance.
He also called for the Ummah's unity to stand up and lift injustice and aggression from Al-Aqsa Mosque, and support the oppressed. The prayer was held amid precautionary measures to limit the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Elsewhere in Qatar, Eid al-Fitr prayers were performed at designated mosques and prayer grounds by the faithful from various walks of life and countries. The authorities concerned had made elaborate arrangements as part of the preventive and precautionary measures against Covid-19.
