Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wished Muslims in worldwide ‘Ramadan Mubarak’ in a video message, as the Muslims around the world mark the start of the holy month.
“Ramadan is a sacred time of the year for the Muslim community, and commemorates the revealing of the Quran to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), Geo News quoted the PM.
“The month-long journey of fasting and prayer encourages spiritual growth, reflection, and compassion for those who are less fortunate,” he said.
The Canadian prime minister stressed the importance to “honour the many cultures, traditions, and beliefs that make Canada such a wonderful place to live,” saying that the Muslim community in the country “help make Canada the strong, diverse, and inclusive country it is today”.
“On behalf of our family, Sophie and I extend our best wishes to Muslim communities here in Canada and around the world,” he says.
