Representatives Debbie Dingell (MI-06), Rashida Tlaib (MI-12), and André Carson (IN-07) this week introduced a resolution recognizing Eid al-Fitr, the observance of the conclusion of Ramadan, and offering solidarity and support to all Muslims for a reflective observance.
“As the holy month of Ramadan comes to a close, this is a time for us all to remember the importance of compassion, justice, and generosity,” Dingell said. “This year, as we mark Eid al-Fitr, I am proud to recognize the contributions of Muslim Americans to every part of our society, and I am praying for peace for those in our community and around the world.”
“Ramadan is a time of deep spiritual reflection and Eid al-Fitr brings a celebration of renewal and resilience,” said Tlaib. “As we end this holy month of fasting, may we remember the people around the world who are unable to feed their families or celebrate with their children. My prayer is that this Eid al-Fitr brings justice and human dignity for all people.”
“Muslim Americans are part of the fabric of our country,” said Carson. “Our bill is about recognizing and uplifting these important holidays, but I also hope it sends a clear message to all Muslim Americans – you belong, and our community values you. Millions of Americans have spent Ramadan reflecting and recommitting ourselves to our values, and now we come together in celebration and joy.”
