Mustafić: Eid days should strengthen philanthropy and solidarity
The President of the Bosniak Council in Montenegro, Suljo Mustafić, congratulated the head of the Islamic Community, Rifat Fejzić, on the holiday and all members of the Islamic faith in Montenegro and the diaspora.
"Honored Reis Effendi, the days of Ramadan fasting have brought believers the blessings of spiritual renewal and strengthening of faith. In our desire to draw closer to God Almighty - through fasting, prayer and good deeds, we have also opened our hearts with repentance and compassion. We believe that the closeness and togetherness that this month has brought us will be a source from which we will draw strength even after Ramadan.
Eid al-Fitr is a holiday of joy and warmth that we feel in our families and share with relatives, friends, neighbors, and all people of goodwill.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the helpless, the sick and especially the oppressed in Gaza and Palestine, wishing that God will enable them to feel the joy of Eid and wait for their suffering to end and experience freedom. We wish that the days of Eid will strengthen philanthropy, mutual respect and solidarity of the community and society in our Montenegro. On behalf of the Bosniak Council and on my own behalf, I congratulate you and all members of the Islamic faith on the occasion of Ramadan Eid, in Montenegro and the diaspora. Eid sherif mubarek olsun," Mustafić wrote.
