“It brings together friends and families, and encourages Muslims to continue the teachings from the month of Ramadan throughout rest of the year, particularly the lessons of giving, charity and tolerance,” he added.
The British High Commissioner said the shared values are reflected in the generosity that Muslims all over the world and particularly in Britain have shown over the years.
“Eid-ul-Fitr is a festival that we can all learn from. My best wishes to you and your family and Eid Mubarak,” he said.
