Sir,
As the holy month of Ramadan/Ramzan approaches, it serves as a poignant reminder of enduring virtues-selfless service, compassion, empathy, tolerance, and truthfulness-that transcend religious boundaries, reflecting a universal yearning for a world rooted in purity of heart and mind.
During this sacred time of reflection, people all over are invoked to embrace the principles of simplicity, humility, and compassion, while shedding insidious traits like deceit, vanity, and contempt for others. Aligning our words, thoughts, and actions with the essence of our shared humanity is the path to true contentment and inner peace. Those who engage in fraudulent acts or accumulate wealth through unethical means may achieve temporary material success but remain shackled by worries, haunted by the past transgressions, and bereft of lasting serenity. In contrast, individuals grounded in virtues like truthfulness and empathy attain a profound sense of unity and bliss.
As we honor and welcome the spirit of Ramzan, let us collectively renew our commitment to these timeless ideals, striving to create a society that champions simplicity over shrewdness, humility over vanity, compassion over abhorrence and peace over violence.
Through our shared efforts, we can foster a more harmonious world where the dignity of every human being is upheld and celebrated. In the pursuit of a better world, may the enduring message of Ramzan inspire us all to become beacons of humanity.
