    U.S.President Barack Obama has sent out Eid-ul-Fitr greetings to all Muslims around the world.

    In a statement issued by the White House Press Secretary's Office, Obama said: "As Ramadan comes to an end, Michelle and I extend our best wishes to Muslims in the United States and around the world on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr."

    "For Muslims all over the world, Eid ul-Fitr marks the end of a holy month of fasting and prayer. It is a time of self-reflection focusing on the values that Muslims and people of all faiths share - charity, community, cooperation and compassion," Obama said.

    "This year's Eid is also an occasion to reflect on the importance of religious tolerance and to recognize the positive role that religious communities of all faiths, including Muslims, have played in American life. On this Eid, those devastated by the recent floods in Pakistan will be on the minds of many around the world," Obama said.

    "To help in the tremendous relief, recovery, and reconstruction effort for the floods, all Americans can participate by donating to the Pakistan Relief Fund at www.state.gov. On behalf of the American people, we congratulate Muslims in the United States and around the world on this blessed day. Eid ubarak," he concluded. (ANI)
