Eid-ul-Fitr marks the end of the Holy Month of Ramadan during which Muslims across the globe made tremendous sacrifices for spiritual advancement. The dedication and self-discipline they continue to demonstrate, especially during Ramadan, are exemplary lessons of humility, contentment, restraint and love for mankind. The Zakat, or charity, associated with Eid-ul-Fitr is another example of Muslims here in Guyana and across the world

contributing to the upliftment of all and for the removal of societal barriers. These selfless acts of giving continue to be vital in strengthening the bonds of brotherhood in a world where humanity faces many challenges. On this auspicious occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr, the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) joins with all Guyanese in extending greetings to our brothers and sisters in the Muslim community, both at home and overseas.

All of our religious observances in our country have universal lessons for mankind. As customary on these occasions, our Party would like to urge that we all reflect on the pertinent messages this occasion brings and which have positive influences for humanity.

Our Party would also like to take this opportunity to commend all those who made the sacrifice of observing fast during the month of Ramadan

and extend best wishes for their success in the future.

Eid Mubarak!
