Ramadan is time for self-discipline – ERC

The Ethnic Relations Commission (ERC) extends heartfelt greetings to our Muslim brothers and sisters on the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan.
During this sacred month, Muslims commemorate the revelation of the Holy Quran to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
As Muslims around the world embark on this consecrated period of fasting, prayer, and reflection, the Commission stands in solidarity with them, recognising the significance of this sacred occasion.
Ramadan is a time for self-discipline, charity, and strengthening one’s relationship with Allah. Through fasting from dawn until sunset, Muslims demonstrate their commitment to spiritual growth, empathy, and compassion for those less fortunate.
In Guyana, Ramadan, as is the case with other significant religious observances, provides an opportunity for Guyanese to come together. It serves as a timely reminder of the shared values that unite us and the importance of embracing diversity as a source of strength.
The Commission extends our heartfelt wishes to the Muslim community for a Ramadan filled with peace, joy, and spiritual growth. We encourage all Guyanese to join in this spirit of unity, fostering understanding and goodwill for a more harmonious Guyana.
