During Ramadan and Eid, we see the very best of the values which unite us all: of tolerance, of unity, compassion for the other and of being of service to our communities.\u00a0It is drawing on these very qualities, illustrated and encouraged by the Prophet (PBUH) that can guide us in\u00a0these challenging times,\u201d High Commissioner said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIslam has become the second most common religion in Australia, and more than 60,000 Pakistani Australians make up the largest of Australia\u2019s dynamic Muslim communities. Their contribution continues to be integral in making Australia one of the most successful and vibrant multicultural societies in the world,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Highlighting the growing people-to-people links between Australia and Pakistan, Dr Shaw said, \u201cThe links between our two countries draw on over 70 years of friendship and are underpinned by a shared Commonwealth heritage, engagement on peace and security, steady trade ties, cooperation on education and our common love of cricket and sport. On behalf of my family and the Australian High Commission, Gaynor and I wish you all a happy and peaceful Eid.
