Dear Colleagues!

I extend my heartfelt congratulations to you on this auspicious occasion of Ramadan, the world's most beloved day for Muslims, and I hope that your prayers and fasting are accepted.

The sanctity of Ramadan is related to the fact that the Quran was revealed in this month. For this reason, Ramadan, which is a month of rewards and blessings, instills patience, mercy, and kindness in people. I hope this glorious holiday brings you all good health, joy in your families, plenty of sustenance and blessings on your tables, and success in your careers.

HAPPY HOLIDAY!
