"Those who really live the holidays are the ones who forget misgivings and embrace everyone"

Publishing a message for the Ramadan Holiday, TOBB President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu pointed out that solidarity, hope and happiness are at the core of holidays and said, "Holidays in which people make peace, embrace in solidarity and reach out to everyone are the essence of being one and together."​

 

Hisarcıklıoğlu expressed his views in his message: "We are experiencing the joy and excitement of another holiday following the month of Blessed Ramadan bestowed upon us by Allah the Almighty Creator. It is during these days that resentments are forgotten. Everyone embraces each other in solidarity and friendship. People visit each other and inquire about their wellbeing. Faces light up. Everything experienced is shared from the heart.

Can there be a better picture of humanity than this?

Our Prophet Revered Mohammed speaks of holidays as days of peace, solidarity and joy. Holidays are an important occasion for members of a religion which teaches not to sleep sated while their neighbors go hungry; which tells us that the most beneficent of men are the ones beneficent to others; which forgives faults; and which tells us to praise beauty. It is perhaps the best time to remember the wisdom which we forget from time to time, to take a measure of ourselves.

The world will become more beautiful the more we proliferate peace and spread it. It is with these thoughts that I, on behalf of the Turkish business world, celebrate from the bottom of my heart, the Ramadan Holiday of our nation and the whole Muslim world and pray that these blessed days bring happiness and peace to all humanity."
