ANNUAL MESSAGE ON THE
START OF RAMADHAN 2007
Published: 13/09/2007 22:30
As Muslims across the
globe begin through the holy month of Ramadhan, the Ramadhan Foundation
congratulates the Muslims on the coming of this holy month and asks for
people to pray for the suffering people around the world.
Ramadhan is a time of
reflection and pray, a great opportunity to be thankful for what has
been given and for taking the time to give in return. This special
occasion reminds us all, Muslim and non-Muslim, that we all are part of
the same great human family; that we all deserve respect and that we
are all worthy to live free of tyranny and oppression in a just and
peaceful world.
Mr. Shazad Anwar, Chief
Executive, comments:
"On this blessed
month of Ramadhan, I and my colleagues in the Ramadhan Foundation wish
to express to Muslims around the world our congratulations on the
coming of this blessed month and for this special time of
contemplation, self-sacrifice, and affirmation of our commitment to
peaceful co-existence in a multi cultural society.
“With so much
suffering around the world it is an ideal opportunity for us to pause
and think of those around the globe who live in poverty every
day. We pray that God alleviates that poverty and that those that
are oppressed are free to live their lives in peace and harmony.
Ramadhan is a time to give
and we urge Muslims to give to all the worthy causes around the globe,
you can do this through our official international relief partner “Interpal”
(www.interpal.org)
Islam is very much a part
of UK history and multi-cultural society, the UK should celebrates the
successes and contributions of Muslims and that’s why the Foundation is
working to promote peaceful coexistence with all communities.
