President Uhuru Kenyatta has shared a message of celebration with Muslim faithfuls in Kenya and around the world as the Holy month of Ramadhan comes to its dusk.
In a statement released on Friday, May 14, 2021, the Head of State noted that though the country had faced a serious challenge due to the Covid-19 pandemic, he commended Kenyans for adhering to safety protocols at the expense of worshiping together.
President Kenyatta urged Kenyans regardless of their religious beliefs to come together and celebrate this big day with their Islam brothers and sisters.
"Eid-ul-Fitr marks the end of the Holy month of Ramadhan, a period of reflection and prayer when our Muslim brothers and sisters dedicate themselves to purity and selfless service of others. It is this spirit of kindness and sharing, that reminds us of our human capacity to come together in the difficult times we are living in.
"A reminder to always be our brothers keeper through the challenges we are facing as a nation," President Kenyatta urged.
"I am encouraged by the warm gestures we as Kenyans have witnessed during the Holy month, as we have opened our doors regardless of religious affiliation to break the fast with one another and gain a deeper understanding of each other," he observed.
President Kenyatta noted that the Covid-19 pandemic had forced changes to the religious calendar, assuring that his government will work to restore normalcy.
"As we mark Eid-ul-Fitr this year, let us reflect on Ramadhan, the admirable spirit of giving, of grace, of resilience and hope that defines the Muslim community.
"May almighty Allah the most merciful and the most graceful grant you peace, health and joy on this day," the Head of State concluded.
We at NairobiLeo.co.ke wish our Muslim brothers and sisters around the world, Eid-ul-Fitr Mubarak.
