Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed, Crown Prince of Dubai, also joined in conveying similar sentiments to mark the beginning of the holy month.

It is believed to be the month during which the Quran was revealed to Prophet Mohammed, serving as a time for spiritual reflection, self-discipline, and increased devotion to worship.

Apart from abstaining from food and drink during daylight hours, Ramadan offers worshippers an opportunity for introspection, strengthening faith, spending quality time with loved ones, and engaging in charitable acts to support those in need.

As Ramadan approaches, Muslims across the globe prepare to embark on this spiritual journey, embracing the values of compassion, generosity, and communal harmony embedded within the essence of the holy month.

In conclusion, President Sheikh Mohamed’s message of goodwill reflects the spirit of unity, compassion, and solidarity that characterizes Ramadan, serving as a reminder of the universal principles of love and humanity that unite individuals across diverse cultures and backgrounds during this sacred period.
