Thought for the Week: Justice and divine truth

David Bone reflects on the end of Ramadhan

by David Bone 24th July 2015

As we have come to the end of Ramadhan, the end of the month of fasting for the world’s two billion Muslims, I want to reflect upon what it means to ordinary people, both Muslims and their non-Muslim neighbours.

Most people will have heard that Muslims fast in Ramadhan, but when we are overwhelmed by media reports of acts of violence and of British Muslims migrating to become so-called Jihadis or Jihadis’ brides, I would like to remind us all of the core teachings of Islam that we get from the Qur’an and the words of the Beloved Messenger Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him.
