(Hill) President Biden and first lady Jill Biden marked the start of Ramadan on Monday, sending their “warmest greetings and best wishes to Muslim communities in the United States and around the world.”
“As many of our fellow Americans begin fasting tomorrow, we are reminded of how difficult this year has been. In this pandemic, friends and loved ones cannot yet gather together in celebration and congregation, and far too many families will sit down for iftar with loved ones missing,” the president and first lady said in a statement Monday.
Muslim people celebrating the annual holy month fast daily from sunrise to sundown.
The Bidens said in the message that “our Muslim communities begin the month of revelation with renewed hope.”
