A
Member
for
siri
guilford-
thank
you,
mr
speaker.
All
around
the
world
muslims
are
observing
ramadan
to
those
who
are
not
of
the
muslim
faith.
Ramadan
may
simply
seem
to
be
a
month
in
which
muslims
fast
from
dawn
till
dusk
and
perform
nightly
prayers
and
practice
of
their
faith.
However,
to
muslims
this
month
means
much
more
than
just
that.
A
A
Speaking
in
positive
language
feeding
and
giving
back
to
the
community
mending
broken
ties,
forging
new
ties,
practicing
forgiveness
and
providing
hope
to
each
other
is
a
crucial
part
of
this
holy
month.
The
goal
of
ramadan
is
to
carry
these
positive
behaviors
beyond
the
month
and
throughout
the
rest
of
the
year,
to
develop
positive
attitudes
which
last
a
lifetime
through
acts
of
restraint.
Muslims
strive
to
purify
their
hearts
and
renew
their
positive
mindset.
A
Bc's
muslim
community
has
been
steadfast
in
observing
and
practicing
precautionary
health
measures
throughout
the
past
year,
and
undoubtedly
this
ramadan
will
look
different
as
compared
to
how
it
is
usually
observed.
However,
our
muslim
communities
resilient,
disciplined
and
selfless
will
continue
to
reap
the
benefits
of
ramadan,
just
as
they
have
before.
