At the beginning of the meeting, the Chairman and members expressed their gratitude to His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa for issuing Order (21) of 2026, which restructured the Council. They reaffirmed their commitment to continuing the development of the Council’s mission and strengthening its role in serving Islamic affairs in the Kingdom.
The Council extended its congratulations to His Majesty the King, to His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, the Royal Family, the Government, the people of Bahrain, and the wider Islamic world on the occasion of the approaching Hijri New Year 1448 AH.
Members praised Bahrain’s ongoing support for religious observances, particularly the Ashoora season, highlighting the coordinated national efforts led by His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa to ensure its successful organisation. The Council also urged scholars and officials of ma’atems and hussainiyas to preserve the religious spirit of the occasion, maintain social harmony, and comply with relevant laws and regulations.
The Council further congratulated Bahraini pilgrims on the safe completion of Hajj and their return home, while commending the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for its efforts in facilitating and successfully managing this year’s pilgrimage season.
