HINDI umano napigilan ng health protocols ang espiritwal na pangangailangan ng mga Muslim sa panahon ng Ramadan.
“This year’s Ramadan has tested our faith as a people. Because of the global health crisis, some of us observed this holy month away from the comfort of our families, while quarantine policies required us to avoid congregational prayers,” ani House Deputy Speaker at Basilan Rep. Mujiv Hataman.
Ipinagdiriwang sa bansa ang Eid al-Fitr o ang pagtatapos ng Ramadan.
“Although the pandemic has thrown most of us into isolation, it did not stop us from fulfilling our spiritual needs. It has provided us an opportunity to spend Ramadan looking inward, and reflecting more during the holiest month. For those who were with their families during the lockdown, the crisis has served as a time to reconnect more strongly or tighten their bonds with their family members as they fulfill the obligations of self-restraint, mercy and forgiveness
during Ramadan,” ani Hataman. “As we mark the end of our month-long fast, may Allah’s blessing be with you always! Eid Mubarak to you all!”

Eid Mubarak,” saad ng mag-asawa. “Let’s stand together and provide hope and courage to weather various problems, including the coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic.”
