SAUDI ARABIA:

Riyadh Kingdom of Saudi Arabia TV1 in Arabic, official station of the Saudi
Government, carries at 0911 GMT a live sermon from the holy mosque in Mecca.

Shaykh Muhammad Bin-Abdallah al-Subayl delivers the sermon, which he devotes
to the subject of "married life," saying that the home is the pillar of life
and that happiness, harmony, and stability of the family depend on both
husband and wife fulfilling their duties toward themselves and the family.
The imam refers to the frequent cases of divorce, saying that husbands
divorce their wives for the most trivial reasons, thus behaving unfairly to
them, themselves, and their children.

In the second sermon, the imam hails the month of Ramadan, which is due on
26 or 27 October, depending on the sighting the new moon.

The imam concludes with a prayer to God to support Islam and Muslims, humble
infidelity and infidels, elevate the word of right and religion, and support
His faithful subjects. He also prays to God to preserve the king and guide
him and other Muslim rulers according to the Koran and Sunnah. He prays: "O
God, support our brother mujahidin for Your sake and religion everywhere. O
God, support them in Palestine against the usurper Jews." He also prays for
Islamic unity.

Riyadh Kingdom of Saudi Arabia TV2 in Arabic, official television station of
the Saudi Government, carries at 0921 GMT a live sermon from the holy mosque
in Medina.

Shaykh Salah Bin-Muhammad Al-Budayr delivers the sermon, which he devotes to
hailing the month of Ramadan, urging Muslims to spend it in piety and
charity.

The imam continues with the same theme in the second sermon. He warns
against wasting food in Ramadan.

The imam concludes with a prayer to God to support oppressed, destitute,
imprisoned, and persecuted Muslims everywhere. He prays: "O God, support
Islam and Muslims and destroy the enemies of Islam, including Jews,
Christians, and atheists. O God, whoever wishes our country or Muslim
countries evil, busy him with himself and make his plot turn against him."
He also prays: "O God, support our oppressed brothers against the usurper
Jews in Palestine. O God, deal with Jews for they are within Your power. O
God, show us the miracle of Your power on them. O God, shake the land under
their feet, instill fear in their hearts, and make them booty for Muslims
and a lesson to others. O God, free the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque from the
clutches of the Jews."
