They saw, or they’ve seen what’s happening around the world, and they feel that in Singapore, we’re able to celebrate and do our Ramadan rituals as well as do good deeds in this month with peace of mind and peace of heart.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He said the month of Ramadan has left many lessons and blessings, adding he was grateful to see the Muslim community embody the values \u200b\u200bof gratitude, giving and graciousness in their daily lives.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIn today\u2019s uncertain and challenging world, let us strengthen our bonds as a harmonious multiracial and multicultural society, while remembering those who are facing hardship around the world. May this Syawal inspire us to nurture compassion, kindness and unity, and strive to be the best versions of ourselves,\u201d he said in a Facebook post.
