Australian authorities have launched an investigation after a threatening letter was delivered to the nation’s largest mosque just days before the start of Ramadan.

The mosque, a central hub for Australia’s Muslim population, is expected to welcome thousands of visitors throughout Ramadan. Community representatives have urged calm while emphasizing the importance of vigilance. Police have increased patrols around the site and are working to identify the sender.

Local officials condemned the incident, calling it an unacceptable act targeting a religious community during a significant period of reflection and prayer. Authorities have encouraged anyone with information to come forward as the investigation continues.
