The Senate of the state of Washington has adopted a resolution to honor and recognize Ramadan, a significant month of fasting and spiritual reflection observed by Muslims globally. With over 1.9 billion Muslims worldwide, including approximately 2.5 million in the United States and hundreds of thousands in Washington state, the resolution highlights the diversity and contributions of the American Muslim community. Ramadan, which began on February 28, 2025, is one of the five core pillars of Islam, during which healthy adult Muslims fast from dawn to dusk, engaging in self-reflection, empathy, and increased worship.

The resolution emphasizes the positive impact of American Muslims in various sectors, including healthcare, education, and community service, as they contribute to society through charitable acts, especially during Ramadan. The Senate expresses its support for the Muslim community and acknowledges the importance of the Islamic faith, wishing Muslims a joyous and meaningful observance of Ramadan, culminating in the celebration of Eid-al-Fitr on March 29, 2025.
