My family, my countrymen and my dears, the descendants of the first Muslim Khalifa, Abu Bakr al-Siddiq may Allah be pleased with him, from Jakarta in the East to Tangier in the West, and from Istanbul in the North to Kenya in the South, Greetings,

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

“Among the Believers are men who have been true to their covenant with Allah: of them some have completed their vow (to the extreme), and some (still) wait: but they have never changed (their determination) in the least: { Al-Ahzaab: V.23}

In the Holy Month of Ramadan, I congratulate and bless our Muslim Nation all for the coming of the month of good deeds, righteousness, charity, and worship. My sincere congratulations also to honest men, from our family and our Big House, the house of Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, may Allah be pleased with him, who have cooperated on righteousness and piety, maintained the kinship, and preserved their heritage and the heritage of their people, which is represented in the sheikdom of their ancestors (Sheikdom of Sijjada Bakria). This is the first fruit of this collaboration, which has been launched in three languages so that every Bakri around the world could communicate with his cousin and through it recognize the history of the men of al-Siddiq House, their women, and tribes, and read the amazing pages of the great longstanding history of Sijjada Bakria.

Ramadan Mubarak. We thank Allah that we have gathered in one place, despite the distances that separate our countries, the difference of our tongues, and the heterogeneity of the conditions of our country. Praise be to Allah alone for His great grace and His favor. We thank Almighty Allah for this great grace and virtue.

May peace and blessings of Allah be upon you

Sheikh of Sijjada Bakria
