This is to congratulate all Muslims across the
country for a successful completion of the month
long Ramadan fast. On behalf of my wife Rebecca
and myself, I send you best wishes, and by
extension all Muslims across the world, as you
celebrate the annual Eid ul-Fitr festival on
Monday, August 28.
The Eid ul-Fitr celebration commemorates the end
of Ramadan, a period of intense devotion and
reflection – a time when Muslims have devoted
themselves entirely to the will of Allah and to the
principles and tenets of the Qu'ran and Sunnah.
I believe that this intense period of devotion has
inspired in Muslims a commitment not only to
God but also to country.
The intense flow of Barakat (divine grace) that this
one month of spiritual exercise has engendered
must trigger a respect for neighbour and country
that will enable us all, as God's servants, to join
hands in the difficult task of nation building.
I urge all Muslims to continue to demonstrate,
continually, a sense of unity and oneness in the
years ahead.
Once again, I am privileged to join many other
Ghanaians in wishing you all a happy Eid ul-Fitr
celebration. Baraka Da Salla!
