UK PM's 'Id message
13-10-2007
Prime Minister Gordon Brown's 'Id message:
I am delighted to send my warmest wishes to our British Muslim communities for the forthcoming celebration of Eid-al-Fitr.
I know that the Holy Month of Ramadan has an important and special meaning for the many and diverse Muslim communities all over the world. The period of daily fasting gives you a time to reflect on your lives and your faith.
This celebration is also important for everyone in our country as it reminds us all of our shared obligation to help those less fortunate than ourselves.
Islamic art, science, philosophy and thought have enriched our lives over many centuries. And in Britain, of course, our Muslim communities make a huge contribution to all fields of our national life and the United Kingdom's prosperity. This is something we can all be proud of.
With best wishes at this special time. Eid Mubarak.
