The Holy Month of Ramadan is the time when people come together in prayer and deep reflection with the emphasis focused on community, charity, and kindness. While fasting may seem to be difficult and tiresome for the body, it is an act of devotion for an entire month filled with great heartfelt joy and gratitude, a reminder that food is the means, not the end, of once-spiritual growth. Inevitably, Muslims observe this spiritual celebration, which becomes the mirror of our inner being, which empowers us with wisdom to appreciate the purpose of life. Ramadan is the time that enables and enriches humanity to cultivate relationships to a new level of understanding and bonding.
This Holy Month of Ramadan is observed and celebrated with reverence and deep commitment in serving the people of the world. The diplomats from all corners of the world come together to share their messages filled with unique understanding and respect for Ramadan, which certainly is an impressive approach and an example of all-encompassing empathy and cultural diplomacy.
