Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar has ex­tend­ed warm Eid-ul-Fitr greet­ings to Mus­lims in Trinidad and To­ba­go as the holy month of Ra­madan draws to a close.

In a mes­sage is­sued for Eid-ul-Fitr 2026, the Prime Min­is­ter ac­knowl­edged the spir­i­tu­al sig­nif­i­cance of Ra­madan and the glob­al cel­e­bra­tion of the fes­ti­val. She quot­ed the Holy Qur’an: “O you who be­lieve, fast­ing has been pre­scribed for you as it was pre­scribed for those be­fore you, so that you may at­tain right­eous­ness” (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:183).

She praised the ded­i­ca­tion of Mus­lims through­out Ra­madan, not­ing that fast­ing, prayer, and char­i­ty strength­en faith, re­new pur­pose, and re­in­force com­mu­nal care.

The Prime Min­is­ter said the val­ues demon­strat­ed by the Mus­lim com­mu­ni­ty—through char­i­ty, ser­vice, en­ter­prise, and com­mit­ment to fam­i­ly and com­mu­ni­ty life—con­tin­ue to strength­en the na­tion’s so­cial fab­ric.

“On this Eid, let us car­ry for­ward the spir­it of Ra­madan—not on­ly in cel­e­bra­tion, but in how we live, serve, and treat one an­oth­er, as we work to­geth­er to build a more just, com­pas­sion­ate, and peace­ful na­tion and world,” she said.

She al­so of­fered prayers for the Mus­lim com­mu­ni­ty:

“To our Mus­lim broth­ers and sis­ters, may Al­lah ac­cept your fast­ing, prayers, and char­i­ty, and may the de­vo­tion and sac­ri­fice you have of­fered be re­turned to you in His mer­cy with mul­ti­plied bless­ings, spir­i­tu­al el­e­va­tion, and en­dur­ing re­ward. May Al­lah’s choic­est bless­ings be up­on you and your fam­i­lies, grant­i­ng you good health and hap­pi­ness.”
