While in Abu Dhabi, Ilyumzhinov warmly congratulated all believers professing Islam with the coming of the blessed month of Ramadan. The greeting read as follows:

“I heartily congratulate all believers professing Islam with the coming of the blessed month of Ramadan! This is the sacred time of fasting, spiritual cleansing and abstaining from earthly passions in the name of Allah. Believers at this time turn to the main fundamentals of Islam, which are justice, love for one’s neighbour, doing good deeds and helping the needy.

May the days of great fast strengthen your faith, fill your hearts with kindness, love, and creative energy! I with you good health, happiness, well-being, peace and harmony in your families! May the Almighty protect you and your children in the name of goodness and peace on our planet!”
