"as-Salâm as-Solṭâni" (Arabic: السلام السلطاني, meaning 'Salute to The Sultan') is the national anthem of the Sultanate of Oman. It is an ode originally dedicated to Qaboos bin Said (1940–2020), the former Sultan of Oman.[1][2][3]
"as-Salâm as-Solṭâni" was written by poet Rashid bin Uzayyiz Al Khusaidi. The music for it was composed at the request of Muscat's government by James Frederick Mills, a Briton, in December 1932.[4][5]
In 1970, a modified version was written by the poet Ħafiẓ ben-Sâlem as-Sayl al-Gasâni, the adviser of the former Sultan of Oman, Qaboos bin Said. The melody was composed by Egyptian musician Mohammed Abdel Wahab.[6]
