The press service of Akorda has released a congratulatory message from the head of state, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, on the occasion of the beginning of the Ramadan month.
“Dear compatriots! I congratulate you on the commencement of the holy month of Ramadan!
This is a special time in the spiritual life of our people.
During the fasting days of Ramadan, enduring values such as patience and humility, compassion and mercy come to the forefront. People lend a helping hand to those in need and engage in charitable activities. All of this stems from the humanitarian ideals of Islam.
For our people, religion and traditions are inseparably linked concepts that mutually enrich each other, calling for goodness and creation.
It is quite symbolic that this year the beginning of Ramadan coincides with the Day of Gratitude. Deep in content and harmonious in meaning, these holidays contribute to strengthening the unity of our nation.
I wish everyone health and prosperity! May your bright thoughts and aspirations come true!” - the text states.
