US President Barack Obama has greeted the people of the Muslim world on the occasion of beginning of the holy month of Ramadan.
"Ramadan is a time when Muslims around the world reflect upon the wisdom and guidance that comes with faith, and the responsibility that human beings have to one another, and to God. This is a time when families gather, friends host iftars, and meals are shared," Obama said in a statement.
But Ramadan is also a time of intense devotion and reflection - a time when Muslims fast during the day and pray during the night; when Muslims provide support to others to advance opportunity and prosperity for people everywhere, he said.
"For all of us must remember that the world we want to build – and the changes that we want to make – must begin in our own hearts, and our own communities," Obama said.
"These rituals remind us of the principles that we hold in common, and Islam's role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance, and the dignity of all human beings."
