His Majesty King Abdullah II Monday patronizes the Kingdom's celebration marking Prophet Mohammad birthday anniversary organized by Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs.



The King awarded armors to people who donated over JD100,000 to build mosques in various parts of the Kingdom and 21 imams and preachers were given JD5000 each by His Majesty the King to cover expenditures of their marriages.



Speaking during the ceremony, Minister of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs Ahmed Helayel urged the international community to work more than ever to support righteousness and promote justice among nation so that the world will not slip into the abyss of extremism and terrorism.



"Our Islamic religion, just like all religions does not approve of extremism nor terrorism, nor does it accept injustice and offence," Helayel said. The tragic situation in Palestine and the bloody destiny in Iraq require an international position that could bring back sovereignty to the Palestinians and Iraqis and release them from the ghost of death and horror and the nightmare of killing and destruction, he said.
