One Topic Was Common Amongst Eid Sermons This Year And It Is Pretty Topical
Eid begins with prayers and a sermon and are some of the most important communal aspects of the festival.
And this year’s sermons – across Saudi Arabia – focused especially on the importance of vaccination
Saudi Minister of Islamic Affairs Abdulatif Al Sheikh had earlier directed mosque preachers to highlight the importance of vaccination against COVID-19 as the most effective method to return to normal life in their sermons.
