Assalamualaikum.

As we celebrate the end of the holy month of Ramadhan and the advent of Eid al-Fitr, let us take a moment to reflect on the wisdom we have acquired throughout the month of Ramadhan.

I hope we put into practice the learning and insights we gained from introspection and pray for continued guidance as we strengthen our connection with Allah. I pray that our thoughts are filled with peace and joy even as we sympathize with our brothers and sisters in other parts of the world who might need help and deliverance from trials and sufferings.

As we ponder on our challenges, let us thank Allah for the strength that allowed us to persist and overcome difficulties. May the experience of overcoming our personal challenges encourage us to be kind and compassionate to the plight of others.

Let us be grateful for the blessings we have received and strive to be a blessing to our family, friends, and community. May our words and actions speak only of the good and may our character reflect the ideals that Allah wants us to live out each day.

As we celebrate with our family, friends, and communities, let our hearts be filled with joy knowing that love, kindness, respect, faithfulness, and peace reign supreme in our hearts and in our lives. Let us continue to pray for harmony, unity, and success for each one as we strive to grow deeper in our faith and service to others.

Lahat – para sa Diyos, sa bayan, at sa bawat pamilyang Pilipino.

Shukran.
