Following is the full text of the message.
Muslims around the world are observing a month-long fast and observing Ramazan, or Eid-ul-Fitr, which falls after the sighting of the new moon.
The Holy Qur’an was presented to Prophet Muhammad Nabi by Allah in the month of Ramazan and it conveys the noble message of equality through Ramazan.
During the month of Ramazan, Muslims dedicated themselves to the God Allah. They did it with immense devotion. The fasting season of Ramazan is a great opportunity to understand the plight of hungry people, to lead a life of self-sacrifice with a sensitive mind, and to develop the ability to control the mind.
Their determination is to exemplify those good lifestyles in their daily lives, without restricting it just for a month. This commitment, self-control as well as self-sacrifice on their part that leads to equality is a super example of national unity and reconciliation.
It needs to be noted in particular that throughout the history of Sri Lanka, the religiously educated Muslim people have lived in cooperation and peace with other races and religions in Sri Lankan society. The message of goodness that they have maintained throughout the ages by mutual friendship, human love, and intimacy is inspiring.
May Ramazan be a day of determination for all Muslims, to work in compassion, boundless brotherhood and fair practices to build a noble motherland!
