That the Parliament wishes all those celebrating the festival of Eid in Scotland, the UK and around the world a joyous Eid ul-Fitr; understands that the festival follows after 30 days of Ramadan where fasting takes place from dawn till dusk; further understands that this is an opportunity to share the values of Islam, including values of family and charity; believes that, with so many people around the world facing the effects of war, natural disasters and hardships, these values are more important than ever, and acknowledges what it sees as the enormous contributions that Muslims make across Scotland through civic society, the NHS, education, business and politics to enrich communities and the social fabric of the nation.
