On this first day of March 2025, the Muslim community in Malawi embarks on the sacred journey of Ramadan, a time of fasting from sunrise to sunset, deep devotion through prayer and Quran recitation, and spiritual reflection in pursuit of a stronger connection with Allah. The Former First Lady, Professor Gertrude Mutharika, and I extend our warmest greetings to our Muslim brothers and sisters during this blessed month. May this sacred period inspire us all to pray for peace, tolerance, and unity in our beloved Malawi. Let us also remember to seek divine guidance in addressing the challenges our nation faces, including poverty and hunger. Malawi is our home, and it is our collective duty to make it a better place through our prayers, dedication, loyalty, and patriotism.
