Farouq Hussein Al-ZankiChief Executive Of�cer

Dialoguewith CEO

I would like to congratulate you on the advent of the holy month of Ramadan entreating Allah, the

Almighty, to make it a month of blessings and benediction for our beloved Kuwait, the Arab and

Islamic nations.

On this blessed occasion, I would like to underline a number of significant issues on top of which

the achievement fulfilled in the first quarter of the financial year 2010/2011. This achievement is

epitomized in the approval of the Petroleum Higher Council on the two projects of building the new

refinery and the clean fuel.

Definitely, these two projects highlight your keenness on accomplishing huge projects which have

dominative impacts on the oil sector particularly they are of much concern by the country’s officials

in general and the oil sector’s personnel in particular.

In the midst of talking about the achievements fulfilled by the oil sector and the big role which Kuwait

Petroleum Corporation (KPC) undertakes in the national economy, it is important to point out to the

special concern which HE Oil Minister, Chairman of board of directors of KPC has paid to provide

job vacancies for the Kuwaiti new graduates and his close follow-up to finalize the procedures of

employing them whether through direct or indirect employment or through the contractor.

Indisputably, the international demand on the various kinds of energy is incessantly growing.

However, we need to increase our productivity to cope with this growth; the matter requires providing

efficient and experienced personnel besides high technologies. This consequently places us in front

of huge challenges to develop the oil sector particularly under the increasing need to depend on the

new technologies which are available in the international oil companies that seek for an appropriate

investment atmosphere.

Furthermore, we believe in the principle of monitoring performance and connecting it to incentives;

however, we seek to apply it in order to support the constructive work in the oil sector and provide

equal opportunities for all to create and develop.

Accordingly, we have created two new sectors, to achieve excellence; Research and Development

Sector and Security and Safety Sector hoping them to help us fight our way in the future. We have

also re-structured Internal Audit Sector to fulfill its duties independently as a safety valve to protect

the oil sector from any manipulations or violations.

Finally, I hope all of you to succeed in achieving your goals in this holy month which is full of

blessings and felicities.

Dear brothers and sisters,

Allah, the Almighty, has favored some days, nights and months.

He has instructed Muslim people to fast the holy month of Rama-

dan wholly; in addition, He has made the recompense of one of

its last ten nights, in terms of worship, better that one thousand

months. Ramadan is a lucrative season for atoning sins and mis-

takes. It is a month of gifts which Allah, the Almighty, grants to

Muslims. Muhammad, the prophet, Peace Be Upon Him (PBUH)

said, “Always do good deeds throughout your lifetime, and avail

of the gifts which Allah grants you, the Almighty, because these

gifts are some of His mercies which He grants His preferable

Muslim people. Moreover, entreat Allah to hide your defects and

assure your frights.”

It is a magnificent opportunity that should be taken before it be-

comes too late. However, we beseech Allah to grant us the good

of everything in our life and after death. The prophet (PBUH) said

that good and prosperity become available since the first night of

this holy month.

The prophet said, when the first night of Ramadan approaches,

Allah shackles the devils and demons and all doors of the Hell

are shut down; in addition, all doors of the Paradise are opened,

and then caller says, “Oh! The one who is aspiring good deeds

approach more. Oh! The one who is seeking devilish deeds go

far away. Moreover, Allah frees people from the Hell every night

during this holy month. Accordingly, all Muslim people should be

happy with the advent of this blessed month.

The prophet Muhammad (PBUH) told his companions that Rama-

dan is blessed month in which Allah, the Almighty, has instructed

Muslims to fast. Doors of Hell are all closed and doors of Paradise

are all opened during this holy month. Moreover, demons are en-

chained. He said, “This holy month has a night is better than one

thousand months; however, the Muslim who is deprived its good

loses much.

The prophet said also, “Allah, the Almighty frees from Hell some

of Muslims everyday at the breakfast in Ramadan.”

He further said that Allah, the Almighty, has allotted a door in

Paradise called “Al-Rayyan” through which only Muslims who

fast can enter. In addition, the door is closed once they enter.

Imam Ibn Al-Qaiyam, may Allah be pleased with him, said Allah,

the Almighty, punishes the one who has been granted a chance

or an outlet for good deeds but unfortunately fails to avail of it;

thus, He – Allah – doesn’t enable that one to control his will as a

punishment.

Moreover, Allah is the only one who rewards Muslims for fasting.

“Oh! Allah, let the crescent

surface peacefully and bring

felicity with it”

The prophet was quoted as saying that Allah, the Almighty, says that all

deeds which man does are considered for his/her benefit; the good deed is

doubled ten times until 700 times; except fasting is for the sake of Allah

as the Muslim person gives up his food and drink as well as his lust with

wife for Allah; thus He rewards the Muslim for this. Moreover, the odor

of the Muslim, for Allah, is better than the fragrance of musk; additional-

ly, the Muslim who fasts has two joys; one of them when he has breakfast

and the second when meets Allah. Fasting is secret habit; consequently,

this secret is more truthful than any other thing man does in his life.

Imam Nawawi, may Allah be pleased with him, said, “Religious scholars

say the joy of meeting Allah is represented in the good reward that Al-

lah grants to the Muslim who fasts as well as remembering the blessing

which Allah grants him; whereas the joy completed when having break-

fast is due to his success to complete his worship without spoiling it; thus,

he wishes to receive the reward of this holy worship.

It is worth mentioning that the wisdom behind legislating fasting in Ra-

madan is to root piety.

Ali Bin Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him, said, “Piety is to fear

the punishment of the Great Allah, comply with what He allows and what

He bans. Be satisfied with the little and prepare yourself for the hereaf-

ter.”

Also, fasting has been legislated to let the rich taste or experience the

hunger; and accordingly he will not forget the hungry people.

One of the prophet’s companions asked, “If I have testified that there is

no god but Allah, performed my five prayers, fasted the holy month of

Ramadan, done my Zakat – Alms, What will be the reward? The prophet

said that the one who died after doing what is mentioned above will re-

ceive the same reward of martyrs and veracious people in Paradise.

Oh, Muslim people, entreat Allah more as supplications and beseeching

Allah is the best worship. The prophet said that each Muslim has a sup-

plication that is answered by Allah every day during Ramadan. Supplica-

tion is the Sunna – norm – of the prophets and good people; it is also the

lifestyle of modest people.

Oh, Muslims who fast Ramadan, take the initiative and enlarge your good

deeds such as performing prayers, doing alms, obeying your parents,

visiting your relatives, refraining the self from committing abominable

actions, atoning from sins and doing any charitable action helps us ap-

proach the Paradise as well as keeping us away from Hell. Be informed

that there is a night called “Lailat Al-Qader” or night of fate in which

worshipping is equal the worshipping of one thousand months; means 83

years and 4 months.

Abu Horairah, may Allah be pleased with him, said, “The prophet (PBUH)

said that Allah, the Almighty, forgives the prior sins of theMuslim person

who performs worshipping in Lailat Al-Qader as a sacrifice for Allah’s

reward; in addition, Allah forgives

also the Muslim person who fasts

Ramadan for the same purpose.

Imam Al-Nawawi, may Allah be

pleased with him, explains that

Allah forgives all prior sins of the

Muslim person who fasts the holy

month of Ramadan in accordance

with what Sharia says without hy-

pocrisy seeking for His reward.

It is said that the best fasting is to

fast from eating, committing sins

and to break your breakfast through

paying alms.

We finally entreat Allah, the Al-

mighty, to enable us to witness the

holy month of Ramadan, fast it, per-

form our worship and recite the holy

Qur’an. We beseech Him to bestow

His mercy and blessings upon the

prophet Muhammad (PBUH), his

wives, companions and followers.

Start fasting when you see Ramadan’s crescent…

One day a person attended to Judge Hussein, who was one of

the famous jurists, alleged that he saw the prophet Muhammad

(PBUH) in his dream, and told Judge Hussein that the prophet

told him that it is the first night of Ramadan. The judge then said

to the person, “What you allege that you saw in your dream –

means the prophet – told his companions to start fasting Rama-

dan when they see its crescent and also to break their fast when

they see the crescent of the next month named Shawal.”

KPC Newsletter staff has selected a number of anecdotes hoping

to gain your satisfaction

The ceiling is fasting!

One of the poor people was dwelling in an old house

where he was hearing sounds of cracking coming out

from the house’s ceiling. However, when the owner of

the house visited him once, the dweller informed him of

the problem. Yet, the owner replied saying, “Don’t worry

the ceiling is fasting and this is its sound of praising Al-

lah, the Almighty.” The dweller then said, “I’m afraid

that the ceiling might fall down to genuflect to Allah,

the Almighty, and then I and it will not able to get up

again.”

Ramadan and Ash’ab

Ash’ab, who was one of the greediest and worst persons,

attended to one of rulers on the first day of Ramadan

demanding him to have breakfast. The ruler gave orders

to serve a big table on which a lamb was cooked. Ah’ab

began to staring at the lamb as if he did not like it, the

matter provoked the anger of the ruler who wanted to

teach him a lesson. He then said to Ash’ab, “The pris-

oners demanded me to dispatch an Imam to perform

prayers with them in Ramadan." Go and perform prayer

with them throughout the holy month, said the ruler. At

this moment, Ash’ab said to the ruler, “If you exempt me

from this duty, I will swear that I will never eat the meat

of the lamb for good.” The ruler then began to laugh.

Fasting of foolish people is easier…

One of the foolish people attended to one of the caliphs

in a night of Ramadan while the latter was eating. The

caliph invited the man to join him; yet the foolish person

said, “I’m fasting.” Then, the ruler inquired astonish-

ingly, “You fast day and night.” However, the idiot per-

son said, “I discovered that fasting at night is easier than

fasting during daytime of Ramadan; in addition, food in

daytime is more delectable than eating it at night.”

Some foolish people were asked, “How did you fast Ra-

madan?”

They answered, “Thirty persons among us gathered and

fast one day.”

Miser people and fasting

One of the poets attended to a miser person whose face

turned wan thinking that unless the poet ate from his

food, he -the poet- would definitely satirize him. Yet, the

poet realized the worry and anxiety which hit the man

and said that he vowed to fast that day; accordingly, the

face of miser person began to become shiny and happy.

logically, socially and spiritually.

The following are the best habits

through which we can improve our

larly during Ramadan as you

spend the whole daytime
