A resolution to extend best wishes to Muslims in Michigan, the United States, and worldwide, for a joyous and meaningful Eid al-Fitr to conclude the observance of Ramadan, a holy month of prayer, fasting, charity, and reflection.
Whereas, One of the largest populations of Muslims in the United States resides in southeast Michigan and makes meaningful contributions to our state; and
Whereas, The Muslim population has been growing in the United States and today’s Muslim American population is a tapestry of ethnic, racial, linguistic, social, and economic groups; and
Whereas, Muslims in Michigan, our nation, and around the world have observed Ramadan by fasting, emphasizing self-discipline, worship, charity, and reading the Holy Quran to improve patience, humility, and spirituality; and
Whereas, The month of Ramadan is comprised of good deeds, donation and sacrifice, in an attempt to receive thawab, which is spiritual merit rewarded by Allah for good deeds; and
Whereas, Eid al-Fitr is celebrated as a rejuvenation of the religion on the first day of Shawwal and marks the end of Ramadan, which is a month dedicated to fasting and prayer; and
Whereas, Eid al-Fitr is also typically celebrated through special prayers at the mosque, visiting familial relatives, and giving charity to those in need, thereby engaging in thankful revelation in the good fortune that has been bestowed upon you by Allah sbwt; and
Whereas, Islam in the United States is a moral and religious system that encourages self-determination, self-development, moral discipline, and community empowerment based on the virtues of freedom, justice, and equality; and
Whereas, Muslims in Michigan have put their faith into action by organizing to collect and distribute critical resources to the state’s hungry and disadvantaged and by volunteering with various humanitarian organizations to give back to our beloved community; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body extend best wishes to Muslims in Michigan, the United States, and worldwide, for a joyous and meaningful Eid al-Fitr to conclude the observance of Ramadan, a holy month of prayer, fasting, charity, and reflection.
