RAWALPINDI - Hearts of Pakistani and Saudi Arabian people beat together because they are bound in relationship of Islamic brotherhood, said Pir Muhammad Naqib-ur-Rehman, custodian of Eidgah shrine, and Sahibzada Muhammad Hassan Hasib-ur-Rehman here on Sunday.
"Harmain Sharifain are religious and spiritual centres of the Muslim Ummah. The Saudi government and Khadim-e-Harmain Sharifain King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz have rendered great services in providing immense facilities to the Umrah and Haj pilgrims as well as expansion and renovation of Harmain Sharifain for which the Muslim Ummah is thankful to them," they said in a joint statement on the occasion of 84th National Day of Saudi Arabia.
Pir Naqib-ur-Rehman and Sahibzada Hasib-ur-Rehman said that Saudi Arabia has played a key role for the unity of the Muslim world and has always generously helped Pakistan in the advent of natural disasters and calamities like earthquakes and floods. They hoped the journey of the progress and prosperity of Saudi Arabia, provision of the best facilities to Umrah and Haj pilgrims, unity of the Muslim world and promotion of fraternal relations with Pakistan would continue under the leadership of Khadim-e-Harmain Sharifain King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz and Prince Salman bin Abdul Aziz, the crown prince.
