Iran’s top diplomat calls for more unity, empathy among Muslims in Eid al-Fitr message
In a congratulatory message for his Muslim counterparts on Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of the holy fasting month of Ramadan, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has called for greater unity and empathy among Muslim nations.
“I extend my sincerest congratulations to the noble people of Iran as well as Muslim governments and nations on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr. In Iran, the holy month of Ramadan – the spring of the Quran – has coincided with Nowruz and the spring of nature this year,” Araghchi wrote in his message on Sunday.
The top Iranian diplomat offered prayers to innocent men, women and children in Palestine, Lebanon and Yemen, who were subjected to the aggressive attacks and crimes of the Zionist regime and the United States during the month of Ramadan.
“On this auspicious day, I pray to Almighty God for unity and empathy among Muslim nations more than ever before,” the Iranian foreign minister noted.
Eid al-Fitr, also known as the Feast of Breaking the Fast, is a significant religious occasion observed by Muslims around the globe.
The religious Eid is a day that Muslims are not permitted to fast that day.
The holiday celebrates the conclusion of the 29 or 30 days of dawn-to-sunset fasting during the entire month of Ramadan. The day of Eid, therefore, falls on the first day of the lunar calendar month of Shawwal.
Muslims hold the belief that, as instructed by God in the Quran, they must maintain their fast until the final day of Ramadan and fulfill the obligation of paying the Zakat al-Fitr prior to performing the Eid prayers.
