"To our beloved brothers and sisters of the Muslim faith, Assalam Alaikum. With the ending of the month of fasting, Ramadan, today we wish the whole Muslim community in Seychelles and overseas, Eid Mubarak!

On behalf of the country and on my personal behalf I wish you and your families a blessed Eid-al-Fitr filled with love, happiness and countless blessings. Celebrating this joyous festival of thanksgiving, may Allah's blessings fill your lives with more happiness, peace and good health always.

As a people, we are blessed to enjoy a sense of spiritual togetherness, regardless of our faith and we pray our beautiful islands of Seychelles continue to live in this harmony of faiths for the further prosperity of the country.

May the sacrifice of Ramadan and the blessings received accompany you during the year.

Warmest wishes for a joyful celebration. Eid Mubarak.
