PRESIDENT-PM-RAMADAN
President, PM greet countrymen on eve of Ramadan
DHAKA, May 6, 2019 (BSS) – President M Abdul Hamid and Prime Minister
Sheikh Hasina today greeted the countrymen and all Muslims across the world
on the advent of the holy month of Ramadan.
President Abdul Hamid, in his message, said, “The holy month of Ramadan has
come again after a year. The month of Barkat (blessing), Maghfirat
(forgiveness) and Najat (salvation) brings a unique opportunity of getting
closer to Allah and attaining taqwa (fear of Allah)”.
Noting that the whole Muslim Ummah across the world observes the month with
due religious fervor to attain self-restraint, self-rectification and
forgiveness, he said fasting plays a vital role in establishing sympathy,
amity and brotherhood among all, including the rich and the poor.
The President hoped that the people would be able to realize the sanctity
and significance of the holy Ramadan and they would reflect it in their
personal and social life and contribute in building a peaceful society.
In her message, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said the month of Rahmat,
Magfirat and Najat -Ramadanul Mubarak is a high time to get mercy and
blessings of Almighty Allah.
The month is more beneficial and significant as the holy Quran was revealed
in the month, she said.
In this month people can attain self-purification through the teaching of
sacrifices and it creates the scopes for getting closer to Allah, she added.
Sheikh Hasina called upon all to be inspired with the teachings of the holy
month of Ramadan and help each other in establishing peace, amity and
brotherhood in personal and social lives, shunning all ills and taking firm
stance against terrorism, militancy and narcotics.
“Let us all maintain the sanctity of the holy month of Ramadan by showing
proportion, patience and restraint at all levels in our life,” the premier
said.
