Ramadan Greetings
The Universal Peace Federation extends its best wishes to all Ambassadors for Peace of all faiths at the beginning of Ramadan. Now more than ever, the world is in need of the peace that can only come when we all recognize that we are indeed One Family Under God.

As explained by Prophet Mohammed, fasting during the month of Ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islam, the others including witness to God, prayer, almsgiving and pilgrimage.

UPF has compiled excerpts of speeches and essays reflecting Islamic Perspectives on Peace. Many of these insights were offered by Ambassadors for Peace at leadership conferences around the world. We welcome additional contributions on the topics in this collection. Email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
