The Archbishop of Canterbury has issued his annual greeting to Muslim friends and fellow workers on the occasion of Id Al-Fitr 2011.
In the message Dr Williams pays tribute to Tariq Jahan, father of Haroon Jahan, for his immense dignity in calling for peace after his son's death in the unrest in Birmingham earlier this month. Referring to Mr Haroon's words as 'a gift in Ramadan', The Archbishop says Mr Haroon was 'able to give voice to the conscience of Britain in a way that people of all faiths and none could recognize'.
The Archbishop reminds us that as the Prophet Jeremiah's called for people to pray for peace and well being on the city in which they lived so we should remember that our peace and security is bound up with that of our neighbours and that God is concerned for the peace of all.
