“I am up here celebrating the end of the holy month of Ramadan. Ramadan is a time for Muslims around the world to renew our faith and reflect our shared values of unity, generosity, and compassion. As we finish this holy month of fasting, I recognize the beautiful Muslim community, my beautiful Muslim neighbors, and Michigan's 12th District Strong, and around the world as we celebrate Eid al-Fitr. Eid al-Fitr is known as the Festival Breaking the Fast, Mr. Speaker, and it marks the end, again, of the holy month. It is a time when Muslims, again, around the world come together to celebrate the end of the month-long fasting and their spiritual reflection. Mr. Speaker, from my heart to yours, I hope this Eid brings everyone that is celebrating joy, closer to community, and prosperity. ____________________”
