Dear Muslims of Tatarstan! From the bottom of my heart I congratulate you on the blessed holiday of Eid al-Fitr!
This is a great feast marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan, which is a symbol of spiritual purity, kindness and mercy. Eid al-Fitr instills in us humility, the desire for peace and self-improvement, teaches us to take care of the old and infirm. Keeping the feast during the long and hot summer days provides Muslims a special opportunity to prove their loyalty to God.
