Iran president congratulates Ramadan

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has offered his congratulations on the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan in separate messages to heads of Muslim countries.

Calling on Muslim nations to take action against the spread of Islamophobia, the president said all heads, thinkers, and religious scholars of Muslim nations are responsible for explaining and presenting the high aspirations of Islam during the holy month of Ramadan.

“I hope, during this blessed month, we all receive God’s blessing and make further efforts to establish and stabilize peace, calm, and security [in the region] and make all Muslims hopeful about future through our cooperation and solidarity,” Rouhani added.

Wishing success, health, and prosperity for heads of Islamic countries and their nations, the Iranian president also expressed hope that the pains and ongoing problems in the Muslim world would be eased during the holy month.

According to the confirmed sightings of Ramadan’s new moon crescent, the first day of Ramadan 1438 fell on Saturday, May 27, in more than 30 Muslim countries including Iran.
