"As the holy month of Ramadhan approaches on behalf of the Ramadhan Foundation I wish everyone a very happy and peaceful Ramadhan. To be blessed with the opportunity to fast and reflect over the past tweleve months is a great honour and I urge Muslims to use every opportunities to benefit from this holy month.

Ramadhan is a time to pray, celebrate and thank God for his blessings and we at the Ramadhan Foundation urges Muslims to remember those less fortunate than us throughout this month.

Ramadhan is a time to give and we urge Muslims to give to all the worthy causes around the globe, you can do this through our official international relief partner “Interpal” (www.interpal.org)

Muslims bring great benefits to the United Kingdom and the UK is richer as a result."
