H.R. No. 532
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The ninth month of the Islamic calendar year,
Ramadan is a time when Muslims reinforce their spiritual beliefs by
fasting, worshipping, reading the Quran, practicing
self-discipline, and helping the less fortunate; in 2023, Ramadan
is beginning on March 22 with the expected appearance of the
crescent moon and lasts for the remainder of the lunar month; and
WHEREAS, During Ramadan, Muslims abstain from food and drink
from sunrise until sunset in an effort to deepen their faith and to
better understand the plight of the poor and hungry; Muslims break
their daily fasts by sharing meals, known as iftars, with family and
friends; and
WHEREAS, Muslims have been a part of the fabric of America
since the 1500s, when the first Muslims arrived as slaves with
colonial expeditions; today, Islam is one of the world's major
religions, with many followers across the United States and around
the globe; and
WHEREAS, While focusing on their spiritual growth during
Ramadan, Muslims affirm their commitment to working toward the
collective good of society and the well-being of people from all
walks of life, and it is indeed fitting to acknowledge the
significance of this special occasion to people of the Muslim faith
who call Texas home; and
WHEREAS, The first Iftar dinner at the State Capitol is
taking place on March 29, 2023, providing a fitting opportunity to
recognize the observance of Ramadan; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
Legislature hereby commemorate the first Iftar dinner at the State
Capitol and extend to Muslims across Texas sincere best wishes for a
joyous and meaningful observance of Ramadan.
