“Today Muslims in America and around the world will end the holy month of Ramadan by celebrating Eid al-Fitr (Breaking of the Fast). It is a day of shared joy and happiness, a day where friends and family come together, moved by a month of contemplation, reflection and intense spiritual renewal. It is in this special spirit of togetherness that my family and I would like to join all Muslims in America and around the world in celebrating this most important day. Eid mubarak!”
