As the crescent moon heralds the arrival of Ramadan, the blessed month of fasting, prayer, and charity, we extend our warmest greetings and best wishes to all Muslims around the world. Ramadan is a time to celebrate the mercy and guidance of God, who revealed the Qur’an to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) during this sacred month. Ramadan is also a time to reflect on our spiritual journey, to purify our hearts and souls, and to seek forgiveness from God and from each other.

We congratulate you for embarking on this noble and rewarding act of worship, which is one of the five pillars of Islam. We pray that God accepts your fast, your prayers, your recitation of the Qur’an, and your acts of charity. We pray that God showers you with His blessings, His grace, and His protection. We pray that God grants you peace, happiness, and success in this life and in the hereafter.

We also urge you to make the most of this precious opportunity, to seize every moment of Ramadan, and to strive for excellence in your faith and deeds. We encourage you to be mindful of the purpose and wisdom of fasting, to be compassionate and generous towards the poor and needy, and to be kind and respectful towards your family and friends. We remind you to avoid anything that may invalidate or diminish your fast, such as lying, backbiting, gossiping, or harming others. We advise you to follow the sunnah, the way of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), who was the best example of fasting and manners.

We hope that you enjoy the beauty and tranquility of Ramadan, the joy and fellowship of iftar, the solemnity and serenity of taraweeh, the intimacy and sincerity of qiyam, and the festivity and gratitude of Eid al-Fitr. We hope that you experience the spiritual growth, the moral improvement, and the personal transformation that Ramadan offers. We hope that you emerge from Ramadan as a better Muslim, a better human being, and a better servant of God.

We welcome you to Ramadan, the month of mercy, the month of forgiveness, and the month of salvation. May God bless you and your loved ones. Ramadan Mubarak!
