The Ramadhan Foundation wishes all those people around the world the very best wishes and congratulations at the occasion of Eid ul Adha.  In these troubling times we take comfort from our Prophet Muhammad (SAW) sacrifices and prayers.

Not only here in the UK but around the world Muslims will celebrate with families and friends and also reflect on the reasons behind this Eid – one of sacrifice.  The Ramadhan Foundation is clear that Muslims in the UK contribute a huge deal in all walks of life and this is something that should be celebrated. 

Over the past few weeks people have given so much to the suffering people in Bangladesh through our international development partner Muslim Hands, we encourage people still to give at (www.muslimhands.org) there are many people around the world who will be starving this Eid.

Eid ul Adha comes at the end of the holy pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia.  This is a celebration of sacrifice that Eid is a time to come together as a community and to renew friendship and family ties. We pray for peace and stability around the world and stand with those that are being oppressed.  Islam teaches us tolerance and peace and we hope the world reflects on this.

Mr. Muhammad Umar, Chairman of the Foundation comments:

“On behalf of the Foundation I am pleased to offer our congratulations on the upcoming Hajj and the occasion of Eid ul Adha.  We hope people enjoy the celebration with family and friends and that people continue to pray for all those around the world that are suffering.

We have been amazed by the generosity of the British Muslim community who have been giving a lot on money to charity; people around the world will be able to have a more fulfilling Eid. We urge people to still give through Muslim Hands.

I once again offer my sincere greetings on this joyful occasion of Eid”
