President’s Ramzan Message
[Saturday, October 13, 2007 - 5.30 GMT]
I extend my greetings to all followers of
Islam in Sri Lanka on this Eid-ul-Fitr Ramzan festival day.
The
Eid-ul-Fitr Ramzan festival comes at the end of the holiest month in the
Islamic calendar. It is a time of rejoicing after a month spent by the
followers of Islam focusing on their faith, with strict observance of
the teachings of the Holy Quran and the Holy Prophet Muhammad.
In the many centuries since their arrival in Sri Lanka, the Muslim
community has lived in harmony with the Sinhalese, Tamils and all other
communities to whom this country is the motherland. The strong message
of peace, understanding and co-existence found in Islam has helped this
unity founded on goodwill and tolerance.
We look forward to the continued partnership of the Muslims of Sri Lanka
in forging the Sri Lankan Nation, living with dignity and harmony with
all, and contributing to the achievement of peace in the country.
I wish all the followers of Islam in Sri Lanka a happy Eid-ul-Fitr.
