Even though I am Non-Muslim I do respect your life choice. I must say that there is much to be respected in the fundamental practices that you all endure in good faith and love during the month of Ramadan.
To fast during the day, abstain from bad practices, avoid weakness, and focus your mind on your faith through study is to be commended. Any act of discipline which leads you to a path of enlightenment is in my estimate is an act worthy of admiration. And I mean this most respectfully though I do not share your faith.
I have been a harsh critic of the political aspects of your faith, but I respect your right to choose your belief in God freely. I wish for all of you everything which Allah, the Quran, and his prophet have made clear through revelation that your rewards in this realm and the next can bring.
No matter what any man says we all deserve the freedom to practice our beliefs without interference of any other. And I wish that for all of you in this holy period. And I wish this for all people no matter the choice of religion any would choose to follow.
May you have many blessings in this life. May you find peace, happiness, and greater strength in your life through Allah. Please accept my best wishes for you , your families, your brothers and sisters, and all the world during this period of Ramadan.
I mean this most sincerely.
