British Prime Minister RAMADAN MESSAGE "Ramadan Mubarak"

Prime Minister has given his sincerest best wishes for the holy month of Ramadan which started on Monday 1 September.

Speaking from Downing Street, the PM said we should "celebrate the diversity that contributes to Britains strength" and "consider the contribution of Islam not just to Britain, but to the world".
The PM also praised the huge contribution that Muslims have made to "our prosperity, our society and our culture".
He said:

"I would like to give you, your family, and all Muslim communities, my sincerest best wishes for the holy month of Ramadan.
Ramadan teaches patience and humility, and reminds us of our shared moral universe; our obligation to others.
The message of empathy for the less fortunate is reflected in Ramadan by the daily fast. And Ramadans message of compassion and social justice spreads beyond Muslim communities; it speaks of shared values that unite us all.

The hadith of the Prophet Muhammad emphasise the duty of care we owe one another. So during this special month, let us also celebrate the diversity that contributes to Britains strength.
Muslims make a huge contribution to Britains success - to our prosperity, our society and our culture. And of course, Ramadan is an opportune time to consider the contribution of Islam not just to Britain, but to the world: Islamic art, science, and philosophy have enriched our lives over many centuries.

Finally, Ramadan is also a time to recall the Prophets message that the best richness is the richness of the soul. This speaks to me, as it speaks to so many others. I look forward to continuing positive engagement with British Muslim communities across the UK"

Thank you
