President Ilham Aliyev congratulates people of Azerbaijan on Ramadan holiday

President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev has congratulated the people of Azerbaijan on the occasion of the Ramadan holiday.

In his message, the head of state said: “Ramadan, the sultan of the eleven months, embodying spiritual and moral perfection and noble intentions, and purifying people’s souls and thoughts, has now come to an end. It is during this blessed month, in which our holy book, the Quran, was revealed, that Muslims gain the opportunity to fulfill their conscientious duties and obligations before Almighty Allah with dignity, experiencing the joy of good deeds such as helping one another, as well as showing compassion and mercy.

For centuries, Azerbaijan has been one of the few places where different faiths and beliefs have coexisted peacefully in a harmonious environment. Islam, which always calls humanity to peace, humanism, and brotherhood, has historically played an exceptional role in preserving ethnic and cultural diversity in our society, fostering an atmosphere of tolerance based on mutual respect and trust, as well as national and spiritual solidarity.”

The head of state emphasized: “Each year, the month of Ramadan further strengthens unity and equality among our people, becoming a celebration of kindness and good deeds. On these blessed days, I join your prayers for the peace, prosperity, and progress of our state. I also respectfully pay tribute to our heroic martyrs who gave their lives for the independence and territorial integrity of Azerbaijan.”

President Ilham Aliyev extended his sincere congratulations to the people of Azerbaijan and all compatriots living in different parts of the world.
