President al-Assad receives cable from scholars, hoping for imminent victory

President Bashar al-Assad on Monday received a cable from the scholars and Imams of Syria in which they expressed hope that God’s blessing of rain and snow in response to the prayers for rain is a portent of things to come.

The cable hoped that like the rain came in response to the nation’s prayers last Friday, God would soon bless Syria with ending the crisis and imminent victory, heralding a bright future of peace, tranquility and prosperity.

Mosques in Syria held prayers for rain last Friday after performing Friday prayer in response to President al-Assad’s directives.
