Bahrain’s recent Ashura commemorations have been hailed as a national achievement and a shining example of religious coexistence, with MP Dr Maryam Al-Dhaen describing the event as a “living model of unity and social cohesion.”

Al-Dhaen praised the remarks of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, calling his words “a source of pride” for all those who contributed to the organisation of the annual religious season.

She said the HM King’s message reflected the deep-rooted values of religious freedom and pluralism that define Bahrain’s social fabric.

Leadership honoured

The MP noted that the government’s success in managing the Ashura season, led by His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, reinforced the leadership’s commitment to fostering coexistence, tolerance, and openness.

She commended the integrated efforts of government agencies, particularly the Ministry of Interior and the Jaffari Endowments Council, along with sheikhs, scholars, matam leaders and supervisory committees.

Al-Dhaen credited the smooth coordination and high level of discipline to the joint work of field teams and volunteers, highlighting their vital role in ensuring safety and calm throughout the commemorations.

“The awareness and dedication shown by citizens and residents alike embody the values of true citizenship,” she said, calling the Ashura season “a reflection of Bahrain’s national spirit.”

She concluded by describing Bahrain as “an oasis of security, peace, and religious and sectarian diversity,” made possible by wise leadership and a united MP Dr Maryam Al-Dhaen people.
