Message from Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg to mark Ramadan.

We鈥檙e now in the holiest month of the Islamic calendar, as people here in Britain and around the world celebrate Ramadan. If you鈥檙e one of the many families fasting from sunrise until sunset, I certainly don鈥檛 need to tell you how challenging it is this year with Ramadan falling during our longest days.

I know that for many of you, fasting 鈥� as one of the essential pillars of Islam 鈥� is a chance to remember the daily struggles of the world鈥檚 poorest and most vulnerable people. For me, it鈥檚 that spirit that goes to the heart of what Islam is all about. It鈥檚 that profound desire to look after other people. And it鈥檚 that sense of doing all you can, collectively and individually, to make the world around you a more prosperous and peaceful place.

So I want to thank you all for the valuable contribution you make, across British society and beyond, both at Ramadan and throughout the whole year.

And to everyone celebrating the festival this month, Ramadan Mubarak.
