“I wish all Muslims a wonderful Ramadan, as this most holy of months arrives.
“Ramadan is a time of fasting during daylight hours, with the ultimate goal of increasing awareness of God. Just as He is the creator of all good things, He is the one who set limits on their enjoyment. Fasting is a reminder of those limits, and of the divine mercy and wisdom behind His commands.
“With the lifting of most public health measures, the faithful can once again gather in homes and mosques to celebrate, pray and reflect on His words. May you find deeper meaning in the Qur’an and may iftar each evening bring you closer to those around you, filling your soul with gratitude, compassion and love.
“Ramadan Mubarak!”
