Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has congratulated the people of Kazakhstan on the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan, describing it as a time of deep spiritual renewal as the country moves through a historic period of transformation.

In his official message, the president emphasized that for tens and hundreds of millions of people around the world, Ramadan is a sacred period of spiritual purification, moral self-improvement, and compassion. Fasting, he noted, strengthens resilience and patience while nurturing humility, responsibility, and human decency, The Caspian Post reports via Kazakh media.

“The spiritual values of Ramadan should be perceived consciously and maturely, with a comprehensive assessment of the complex processes unfolding around us. This, too, reflects the proper appreciation of the power and mercy of the Almighty,” the president said.

Tokayev also highlighted that Kazakhstan has entered an era of large-scale modernization and historic change. A draft of a new national Constitution has been submitted to a nationwide referendum, a step that will define the country’s future path toward progress and justice.

The president noted that the proposed fundamental law reinforces Kazakhstan’s centuries-old statehood, improves the effectiveness of political, civil, and economic institutions, and strengthens the protection of human rights.

“By safeguarding and promoting traditional spiritual and cultural values, we are shaping a new national mindset that embraces key social principles such as the Rule of Law, Order and Cleanliness, Justice, and Patriotism. All these principles align with the eternal values of the holy month of Ramadan,” Tokayev stated, adding that in a civilized society built on knowledge, purity, and good intentions, Ramadan gains renewed spiritual strength and positively impacts all decent people.
