We join our Muslim brothers and sisters in this period of heightened spiritual devotion and worship to the Most Gracious and Most Merciful Allah as they observe the start of Ramadan.
This occasion calls for a time of contemplation and reflection – a solemn period for them to revisit the revelations of Allah with renewed faith and commitment. May Allah’s holy teachings be a guiding light for our fellow Muslims towards leading a life of purity and clarity.
May this also be a time to foster even further, unity, peace, and solidarity among our fellowmen especially at this time when we are enduring the impacts of COVID-19. May we also achieve more progress towards creating an equitable and inclusive society.
We ask everyone who will be observing Ramadan to continue following the minimum health standards for us to rise and recover as one nation.
We wish everyone a solemn, blessed, and safe occasion.
