MI HR0304

House Resolution 304 offers best wishes to Muslims in Michigan and worldwide for a meaningful observance of Ramadan, the holy month of reflection and prayer.

Ramadan commemorates the month in which the holy Quran was revealed to Prophet Muhammad and is observed through 30 days of fasting, prayer, and reading the Quran to emphasize patience, humility, and spirituality.

Ramadan observance runs from approximately the evening of Sunday, June 5 through the evening of Tuesday, July 5, concluding with Eid al-Fitr, the feast of fast-breaking and celebration of Prophet Abraham's sacrifice.

The resolution recognizes approximately 1.6 billion Muslims worldwide (roughly 23 percent of the global population) as the fastest-growing religious group and notes Muslims as one of the largest and most productive populations in Southeast Michigan.

The House conveys "Eid Mubarak" greetings to Muslim friends and neighbors celebrating the end of Ramadan with Eid al-Fitr.
