RABAT, Feb. 02 – H.M King Mohammed VI, accompanied by HRH prince Moulay Rachid and Prince Moulay Ismail, performed on Sunday the prayer of Aid Al-Adha (sacrifice feast) in the Ahl Fez mosque in Rabat.
The sovereign was greeted at the mosque by the prime minister, the speakers of the two parliamentary houses, the government members and several other officials. After the prayer, H.M the king immolated a sheep in conformity with the Islamic tradition. Aid Al Adha is a celebration marking the willingness of Abraham to sacrifice his son, Ismael, at God’s behest. It is a time-honored family gathering during which every household that can afford it, purchases a sheep for immolation. H.M the king granted on this occasion pardon to 360 convicts similarly to all religious or national feasts. |
