AGRICULTURE Minister Kazim Hosein says Eid-ul-Fitr is more than a celebration, but a “culmination of a month of sacrifice, devotion and spiritual renewal.” He also urged young people to put their faith in the almighty.

In a press release on March 31, Hosein sent greetings to “(his) fellow brothers and sisters in Islam, both home and abroad.”

Describing the occasion as a “blessed and joyous” one, Hosein said Eid is a reminder that Muslims’ acts of worship, charity and self-discipline should not end with Ramadan. Instead, he said, it “must continue throughout our lives.”
