King Mohammed VI presides over Laylat Al Qadr vigil seated after shoulder surgery

The Ministry of the Royal Household, Protocol, and Chancellery announced that King Mohammed VI will preside over a religious vigil for Laylat Al Qadr on the evening of Thursday, March 27, 2025 (Ramadan 26, 1446 A.H.), at the Royal Palace in Rabat.

Due to movement constraints following surgery on his left shoulder, the King will perform the Al-Isha prayer and Tarawih in a seated position, in accordance with the Quranic verse: «Who, standing, sitting, or lying on their sides, invoke Allah».

The Royal Cabinet previously announced that the King underwent successful surgery on December 8 after sustaining a humerus fracture during a sporting activity. This Ramadan, he has not presided over the traditional Hassanian religious lectures.
