KUALA LUMPUR: Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Ibrahim and Raja Permaisuri Agong Raja Zarith Sofiah have extended Ramadan greetings to all Muslims in the country.
Muslims in Malaysia will begin fasting tomorrow.
The royal couple also called on Muslims to seize the opportunity during the fasting month to strengthen bonds and extend assistance to those in need.
In a post on his Facebook page, Sultan Ibrahim urged all Muslims to pray that Malaysia will continue to be blessed and protected from any form of threats, disasters and calamities, and the people spared from any discord or conflict
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim urged Muslims to deepen their acts of worship and enhance their piety during Ramadan
“The light of Ramadan shines as a beacon that illuminates the heart and mind. The spiritual journey during this holy month is, among other things, a means to understand the true meaning of faith, piety, and hope,” he said in a social media post.
Anwar urged the people to be more compassionate towards the less fortunate and those facing hardships around the world, as the act of fasting was also about subduing arrogance, rejecting oppression and injustice, and restraining greed.
Ramadan greetings were also extended by deputy prime ministers Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and Fadillah Yusof.
Fadillah encouraged Muslims to minimise the wastage of food. “What is thrown away could have been given to others, yielding rewards and benefits,” he said, urging the public to practice moderation in spending and contribute to those less fortunate. - FMT
