Message on the Observance of Ramadan

Today, I send my warmest greetings for the holy month of Ramadan—a sacred time of fasting, prayer, and communal gathering.

It is a time to draw hope, courage, and inspiration to lead lives of holiness and virtue.

As millions of Muslim Americans begin their Ramadan observances, my Administration recommits to upholding religious liberty that is such an integral part of the American way of life. Above all, we renew our resolve to building a future of peace, and to recognizing the dignity imprinted on every human soul.

This Ramadan, I offer my best wishes for a season of joyous reflection on God's endless grace and infinite love. May God bless you and your families during this wondrous season.
