Vice President Sara Duterte is hoping that the Filipino Muslim community would put into practice the learnings and insights they gained during the observance of the holy month of Ramadan. In her Eid’l Fitr message, Duterte on Friday called on the community to “take a moment to reflect on the wisdom we have acquired” and “pray for continued guidance as we strengthen our connection with Allah.” “I pray that our thoughts are filled with peace and joy even as we sympathize with our brothers and sisters in other parts of the world who might need help and deliverance from trials and sufferings,” she said. Duterte also urged to thank Allah “for the strength that allowed us to persist and overcome difficulties” as we ponder on our challenges. “May the experience of overcoming our personal challenges encourage us to be kind and compassionate to the plight of others,” she added. She called on the community to be grateful for the blessings they are receiving and “strive to be a blessing to our family, friends, and community.” “May our words and actions speak only of the good and may our character reflect the ideals that Allah wants us to live out each day,” Duterte said. “As we celebrate with our family, friends, and communities, let our hearts be filled with joy knowing that love, kindness, respect, faithfulness, and peace reign supreme in our hearts and in our lives,” she also said. She called for continued prayers “for harmony, unity, and success for each one as we strive to grow deeper in our faith and service to others.”
