The Washington State Senate has adopted a resolution to recognize and honor Ramadan, the holy month of fasting and spiritual reflection observed by Muslims worldwide. With over 1.9 billion Muslims globally and a significant population in the United States and Washington state, the resolution highlights the importance of Ramadan as one of the five core pillars of Islam. It emphasizes the practices of fasting, self-reflection, and increased generosity during this month, which begins on March 10, 2024, and culminates in the celebration of Eid Al-Fitr on April 9, 2024.

The resolution also acknowledges the diverse contributions of the American Muslim community, particularly in Washington, where they engage in various charitable and humanitarian efforts. By promoting awareness and understanding of Ramadan and the Islamic faith, the Senate aims to combat stigma and Islamophobia, fostering social unity and community healing. The resolution expresses support for the Muslim community and extends best wishes for a meaningful observance of Ramadan.
