Message of His Excellency Brigadier David Granger President of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana on the occasion of Eid-ul- Fitr

Eid-ul-Fitr 2018

I extend greetings to all Guyanese and especially to our Muslim community on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr.

Eid-ul-Fitr marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan, a period during which Muslims perform acts of abstinence and prayer.  Eid-ul-Fitr reaffirms the values of perseverance and self-denial practiced during the holy month. It reminds us that our sacrifices yield personal and spiritual benefits.

Eid-ul-Fitr is time for coming together, an occasion for us to show compassion and kindness towards our fellow citizens. Eid-ul-Fitr, in this regard, strengthens the human ties within our society. It promotes care and consideration towards each other.

Eid-ul-Fitr is a time for family gatherings and friendly reunions, emphasizing the unity of family and the promotion of harmonious relations.

May the values of Eid-ul-Fitr continue to guide our efforts as we seek to build a nation of happy people, happy families and happy communities!
