Dear colleagues, my sons and daughters, students, welcome to the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, especially the Department of Histology. It is my pleasure to congratulate you on being blessed with the opportunity to join this great institution, the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine. This faculty has a noble mission in serving humanity, and we study here the most refined types of medical sciences related to animals, as Allah has commanded us to be kind to them and as our Prophet, peace be upon him, has urged us to do so. I am honored to be the head of one of the departments of this esteemed faculty, namely the Department of Histology, which deals with the study of the detailed structure of various tissues and cells in the body using microscopes. Finally, I would like to remind everyone to appreciate the noble message that they offer to society and the nation."
