David
Cameron’s Message for Ramadan 2015
18 June 2015
Prime Minister David Cameron’s
message to mark the holy month of Ramadan 2015.
I’d like to send my very best
wishes to everyone observing the holy month of Ramadan.
It’s a hugely important time, as
Muslims in Britain and across the world mark the foundation of their faith.
And as friends and families come
together, in contemplation and in fasting, we are reminded of those Muslim
values – those British values – of community, family and charity.
You can see them in centuries
past, when Muslim soldiers served bravely alongside their comrades, from the
trenches of the First World War to the skies of the Second World War.
And you can see them today, with
British Muslims giving more to charity than any other faith group in Britain,
fulfilling their sacred duty of Zakat, by making a real difference to lives
blighted by conflict and disaster. And with British Muslims at the top of every
field, from our biggest businesses to our precious health service to our Houses
of Parliament and yes, to the Cabinet I lead.
I’ve talked a lot about One
Nation, about Britain being a country where everyone can get on, whatever their
background and wherever they’re from.
British Muslims embody that
spirit.
They prove that this can be a
country where success is determined not by your colour, community or creed, but
a place where you can go as far as your talents will take you.
So, as families, friends and
communities come together at Iftar each evening, I hope all of them, and
everyone else across Britain, will reflect on the universal values that Ramadan
represents, and the contribution that British Muslims make to our country.
Ramadan Mubarak to you all. |
