Ramadhan Messages From British PM, UK's Foreign Secretary

Bandar Seri Begawan - British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has given this Ramadhan message:

"Muslims make a huge contribution to Britain's success - to our prosperity, our society and our culture.

"And of course, Ramadhan is an opportune time to consider the contribution of Islam not just to Britain, but to the world Islamic art, science, and philosophy has enriched our lives- over many centuries.

"Finally, Ramadhan is, also a time to recall the Prophet's message that `the best richness is the richness of the soul'.

"This speaks to me, as it speaks to so many others.

"I look forward to continuing positive engagement with British Muslim communities across the UK."

Meanwhile, UK's Foreign Secretary David Miliband has this Ramadhan message:

"This is the first week of Ramadhan and I am delighted to be able to send my very good wishes to the two million Muslims in Britain, who will be celebrating this important festival and, of course, to Muslims around the world as well.

"Ramadhan is a month of contemplation, prayer and spirituality.

"A chance for Muslims to look at their own lives and judge them against the high standards that they set for themselves.

"But Ramadhan is also a. chance to look outwards as well as inwards.

"To look at compassion, charity, responsibility, not just within the Muslim community, but also across all of our communities.

"I think this is a big opportunity for those of us who are not Muslim to learn, to understand and to engage with Muslim citizens who live close to us and ensure that we are working together to bridge the divides of race and religion that too often pull people apart.

"In that sense, I am honoured today to be able to say Ramadhan Mubarak." (British High Commission, Brunei)   -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
