President's Ramadan Message
Presidential Message: Ramadan
I send greetings to Muslims in the United States and around the world observing the holy
month of Ramadan.
Ramadan is the holiest season in the Islamic faith, commemorating the revelation of the
Qur'an to Muhammed. This month of intro-spection provides Muslims a time to focus on their
faith and practice God's commands. Through fasting, prayer, contemplation, and charity,
Muslims around the world renew their commitment to lead lives of honesty, integrity, and
compassion.
Throughout our history, people of different faiths have shaped the character of our Nation.
Islam is a peaceful religion, and people who practice the Islamic faith have made great
contributions to our Nation and the world. As Americans, we cherish our freedom to worship
and we remain committed to welcoming individuals of all religions. By working together to
advance freedom and mutual understanding, we are creating a brighter future of hope and
opportunity.
Laura joins me in sending our best wishes. Ramadan mubarak.
George W. Bush
President
United States of America
