The holy month of Ramadan is here, its arrival signalled in the night sky by the glowing crescent moon. For Muslims around the world, including those in our wider community, Ramadan is a time of dawn-to-dusk fasting, self-reflection, and acts of kindness and charity. We extend our warmest wishes to those with family and friends in the Muslim community. We hope this special time is filled with peace and blessings. Ramadan is not only a time of reflection but also of shared joy. Families and communities gather for suhoor, the pre-dawn meal, and iftar, the evening meal. As sunset approaches, anticipation builds, and the fast is traditionally broken with sweet dates before an abundant meal is shared.

To all observing Ramadan, we wish you a peaceful and blessed month.
