Recognizing the Observance of Ramadan
WHEREAS, Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar and is observed by
Muslims around the world as a sacred period of fasting, prayer, reflection, and community;
and
WHEREAS, during Ramadan, Muslims fast from dawn to sunset, engage in acts of charity
and compassion, and renew their commitment to values of patience, humility, generosity,
and peace; and
WHEREAS, the observance of Ramadan culminates in the celebration of Eid al-Fitr, a joyful
holiday marked by gratitude, fellowship, and giving; and
WHEREAS, the Muslim community has made and continues to make meaningful
contributions to the cultural, social, economic, and civic life of Mount Prospect; and
WHEREAS, recognizing religious and cultural observances fosters mutual understanding,
respect, and unity among people of all backgrounds.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT PROCLAIMED, that I, Paul Wm. Hoefert, Mayor of the Village of
Mount Prospect, do hereby recognize and honor the observance of
Ramadan
and extend best wishes to our Muslim community for a month filled with peace, reflection,
and spiritual growth.
