Iran president felicitates Muslim leaders on holy month of Ramadan, hopes for more unity
Iranian President Ebrahim Raeisi has extended his congratulations to leaders of Muslim countries on the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan, expressing hope that effective measures would be taken to forge unity and integrity among Muslim nations.
In separate messages to leaders of Muslim countries on Saturday, Raeisi said he hopes that effective steps would be taken to strengthen unity and integrity among the Islamic Ummah, particularly against divisive movements and Takfiri terrorism.
He added that such a goal could be achieved with the blessings of Ramadan which is marked by mercy and forgiveness and through joint efforts of Islamic leaders and intellectuals while emphasizing growing cohesion and solidarity among Muslim nations.
Raeisi also hoped that the world and Palestine in particular would witness the elimination of oppression and injustice and the establishment of peace and security.
The office of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has declared Sunday, April 3, as the first day of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan in Iran.
The beginning of the fasting month of Ramadan is determined by both lunar calculations and physical sightings of a new moon.
During Ramadan, Muslims refrain from eating and drinking from dawn to dusk, converge in mosques for prayers, and traditionally break their fast in gatherings in mosques or with family and friends in the evening.
Different countries have developed their own methods of declaring the first day of Ramadan.
