Dear friends!

I warmly congratulate all Muslims on the arrival of the holy month of Ramadan.

For everyone who professes Islam, Ramadan is a special time of spiritual purification, deep reflection on one's actions, strengthening of faith, and inner discipline. It is a month of mercy and compassion, when it is especially important to care for others, support those in need, and be tolerant and generous.

I sincerely wish that this blessed month will bring peace, warmth, and harmony to every home. May the holy fast of Ramadan become a source of spiritual strength, and may good deeds and pure intentions multiply.
