ALEPPO: The Syrian Arabic Republic’s President Ahmad Al-Sharaa on Wednesday performed Eid Al-Adha prayers at Abdallah bin Abbas Mosque in Aleppo, led by Sheikh Mutie Al-Batin, and accompanied by several state officials and a large number of worshippers.
In his sermon, Al-Batin said optimism was a fundamental value in Islam, a driving force for work and construction, and a refusal to yield to circumstances.
“Syria possesses significant potential for recovery and stability thanks to the unity of its people, the return of its citizens to participate in reconstruction, the strengthening of community initiatives, and the consolidation of the values of coexistence and diversity,” Al-Batin said.
