As the holy month of Ramadan begins, I extend my warmest greetings to Muslim communities in the United States and across the world. This sacred time of fasting, prayer, and reflection holds deep significance for millions, fostering spiritual renewal, self-discipline, and a commitment to compassion and service.
During Ramadan, families and communities come together to break their fasts at Iftar, strengthening bonds of unity and understanding. It is a time of generosity, where acts of charity and kindness uplift those in need. The values of patience, gratitude, and peace that define this month serve as an inspiration for all people, regardless of faith.
The United States remains committed to fostering religious freedom, mutual respect, and interfaith dialogue. We recognize and appreciate the contributions of Muslim communities to our nation and the world. As Ramadan begins, we join in celebrating its message of hope, empathy, and solidarity.
I extend my best wishes to all who observe this sacred month. May it bring peace, health, and fulfillment to you and your loved ones. Ramadan Mubarak!
