The Servant of the Two Holy Mosques Died

[abo sager]

The Servant of the Two Holy Mosques ‘King Fahd Bin Abdulaziz’ passed away yesterday’s morning.

Why do we love King Fahd?

Let me tell you guys about some of his achievements:

- He was the first minister of education. Actually, we call him the Father of Education.

- He served the two Holy Mosques by spending a lot of his own money in enlarging the area of each. Read about them in the Guinness Records.

- He spent a lot of his money for printing the Holy Quran. If you go to any mosque in the world, you will find that the King Fahd Copy of Quran is there. This happens the first time in history.

- He was the leader of the negotiations between the Lebanese parties to stop the civil war in Lebanon. In Al-Taif – a Saudi Arabian city -, he led the Peace meeting which led to the civil Peace between the Lebanese Parties. That was in 1989.

- When the Iraqi invasion to Kuwait happened in 1990, he was the first one to fight against it, even though the Iraqi-Saudi relations were very good. He fought against it. First, he sent the Saudi forces to fight the Iraqis. Then, he let the Arabian and international forces use the Saudi lands to fight the Iraqis. And that was in 1991. He had a well known saying “Kuwait is in My Heart”.

Those are some of his achievements. There are many that I could not mention here.

I ask Allah to bless King Fahd’s soul.

Amen

Condolences on the loss of your King and great leader.
