hers and sisters fast for 30 days from dawn to sunset and Eid-ul-Fitr marks the end of this 30-day holy fasting period. Very fittingly Eid refers to celebrations or festivities and Fitr refers to breaking the fast.
For our Muslim brotherhood it is the time of year we gather, rejoice and thank Allah. It is also the time when all of us have the opportunity to reflect on our lives. Fasting reminds us of how fortunate we are and of our responsibility to those less fortunate than ourselves.
As National Member of Parliament of ethnic background I value the contributions of our Muslim Community. By sharing our culture with the rest of New Zealand, we add to the vibrancy and diversity that makes New Zealand a truly multicultural nation.
I hope that all of you enjoy the festivities of Eid and once again I wish all of you a very happy Eid
