President Rodrigo Duterte on Thursday joined Muslim Filipinos as they
embark on a spiritual journey of reflection and contemplation during
Ramadan. He hoped that the holy month will give peace amidst the
adversity and challenges being faced each day.
“As you read the revelations of Allah with renewed
dedication and vigor, may the sacred text inspire you to further lead a
life of purity and clarity,” the President said in his message.
He
also hoped that the devotion and sacrifices of the Muslims in the
country will reaffirm their commitment to foster unity and solidarity
regardless of faith or creed.
“As you embody
the religious insights and epiphanies you have gleaned from this
undertaking, may you be moved to advance our collective resolve to
eschew misguided ideologies so that we may achieve a truly progressive
and inclusive society,” Duterte said.
The ninth
month in the Islamic Hijra calender, Ramadan is considered by Muslims
as blessed month. During Ramadan, it is obligatory for every adult
Muslim to fast from dawn till sunset where they abstain from eating,
drinking and engaging in sex, for 29 or 30 days.
Ramadan ends once the crescent of the Shawal, the month after Ramadan is sighted.
Sheikh
Abuhuraira Udasan, the Mufti of the Bangsamoro and Executive Director
of the Regional Darul Ifta of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao,
said Ramadan will start on Friday April 24, 2020.
Their
decision to declare that the start of Ramadan this Friday is based on
the result of moonsighting on Wednesday wherein the Ramadan-crescent was
not sighted.
In order to contain the spread
of corona virus disease 2019, the Darul Ifta issued fatwas suspending
the conduct of congregational prayers in mosques including Taraweeh, a
special nightly congregational prayer on Ramadhan.
For their safety, instead of praying in mosques, Muslims may perform their prayers at home.
