This is a special time of year for many here in New Zealand, and I wish you happiness and peace as you celebrate with family and friends. New Zealand has been home to Muslim communities for more than 150 years, and the values at the heart of Ramadan and Eid ul-Fitr – values such as compassion, generosity and empathy – are shared by New Zealanders. More than ever, it is crucial that we embrace these values as we work together for a more peaceful and compassionate world. I wish you all a wonderful end to Ramadan and all the very best as you celebrate Eid ul-Fitr.

They are the values we see expressed during Eid, and this year they are more poignant than ever. In the wake of the Christchurch terrorist attack, Kiwi Muslims have lived those values. The Muslim community has shown immense fortitude at a tragic and difficult time. You have embraced all people regardless of faith into your mosques to commemorate those we have lost and to promote our shared values. I am proud of the way the wider community united to extend love and support to the victims’ families and the Muslim community. As Kiwis we celebrate diversity as something that enriches us and does not divide us. My best wishes to NZ Fiji Times readers and the whole community. Eid Mubarak!

Ramadan is the most sacred month of the year in the Islamic culture. Prophet Mohammed preached, “When the month of Ramadan starts, the gates of heaven are opened and the gates of hell are closed and the devils are chained.”Muslims also believe that during this holy month, God revealed the first verses of the Quran to Prophet Mohammed. That was the night known as “The Night of Power” or “Laylat al-Qadr” in Arabic. This fasting is known to strengthen one’s relationship with God. Prayers, charity and generosity make the month even more pious. PENGUIN FINANCE CAN HELP YOU SAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF INTEREST PAYMENT ON YOUR MORTGAGE.

We have been through some tough times as a nation in recent months, but I’m proud to see the way we have responded as a country. I have a lot of admiration for the way the Muslim community has shown their immensely strong values by being united throughout the whole ordeal.
