Following the Eid prayer, the imam delivered a sermon in which he recalled the atmosphere of spirituality and piety marking the fasting month of Ramadan.

 He highlighted the importance of the religious lectures held under the chairmanship of HM the King, Commander of the Faithful, during the holy Ramadan, and attended by prominent Muslim scholars and intellectuals, noting that these lectures have become prestigious tribunes for spreading knowledge in the Islamic world and have brought intellectual and civilizational input marked by openness.

 The Kingdom lived a night of piety and worshipping on the occasion of the celebration of Laylat Al Qadr (26th day of Ramadan) by HM the King, he said. 

 This holy month coincided with one of the most glorious national anniversary, namely the Throne Day which symbolizes cohesion between the throne and the people, and solidarity-based union for social promotion and further progress for the Kingdom in all areas, he said.

 The imam said that the event testifies to the continued development led by the Commander of the Faithfull, King of reform, challenge and renewal.

 HM the King was greeted, afterwards, by heads of Islamic countries' diplomatic missions accredited to Morocco.

 At the royal palace, the sovereign, accompanied by HRH Crown Prince Moulay El Hassan, was greeted by his brother HRH Prince Moulay Rachid and cousin HH Prince Moulay Ismail.

 The sovereign also received greetings from the Head of Government, Speakers of the Lower and Upper Houses, HM the King's Advisors, Cabinet Members, High Commissioners, Chairmen of Constitutional institutions, Directors of Royal Offices, the Sovereign's brothers-in-law and senior military and civil officials.
