Message from the British High Commissioner to Pakistan on Eid ul Fitr
The British High Commissioner to Pakistan Philip Barton CMG OBE sends his warmest wishes to Muslims in Pakistan and across the world on Eid ul Fitr.
On the occasion of Eid ul Fitr, the British High Commissioner to Pakistan, Philip Barton CMG OBE said:
I am delighted to send my best wishes to everyone celebrating Eid-ul-Fitr in Pakistan, to those celebrating in Britain and across the world.
As in Pakistan, British Muslims will also be enjoying their Eid celebrations. Whether on the streets of Lahore or Leicester, Muzaffarabad or Manchester, Sindh or Southall, families will come together, sharing delicious Sawayyan and exchanging Eidi.
Eid-ul-Fitr is a joyous occasion and a day of gratitude for the blessings we enjoy. Eid also allows us to reflect on the lessons of giving, charity and tolerance.
These shared values are reflected in the generosity that Muslims all over the world including the British Pakistani community in the United Kingdom have shown over the years. Eid-ul-Fitr is a festival that we can all learn from.
