The Muslim Council of Elders, chaired by His Eminence the Grand Imam Prof. Dr. Ahmed Al-Tayeb, Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, extends its heartfelt congratulations to the Arab and Islamic nations—kings, princes, presidents, and peoples—on the occasion of the arrival of the blessed month of Ramadan.
On this blessed occasion, the Muslim Council of Elders urges the Islamic nation to seize this virtuous month to reaffirm the values of unity, solidarity, and cohesion, standing together as one to strengthen the foundation of this nation. Ramadan unites us around many values such as solidarity, compassion, and mutual support, as a single, interconnected, and resilient nation, as Allah intended for us.
The Muslim Council of Elders also calls upon Muslims worldwide to make the most of Ramadan by increasing acts of goodness and obedience, renewing bonds of love, tolerance, and family ties, and fostering human solidarity. This includes meeting the needs of the poor and the needy and bringing joy to their hearts, for the Prophet (PBUH) was the most generous of people, and his generosity peaked during Ramadan.
The Muslim Council of Elders expresses its sincere wishes for peace and tranquility to prevail over the Islamic world and all of humanity, and for this blessed month to bless mankind with security, safety, goodness, and prosperity.
