As Muslims celebrate Eid-Ul-Fitr, to mark the end
of the month-long period of Ramadan fasting,
prayers and devotion, President John Dramani
Mahama is urging all Muslims, and indeed all
Ghanaians, to deepen their spiritual beliefs,
strengthen moral values and re-commit their
hearts and minds to activities and actions that
demonstrate the true benefits of their faith.
The President extended his hearty congratulations
to all Muslim brothers and sisters who have gone
through the fast successfully.
"Ramadan has been a period of deep reflection,
love and sacrifice," the President noted. "It was
also a moment when the Muslim faithful offered
prayers to Allah, not just for themselves but also
for our communities and the nation as a whole.
May the prayers that have been offered to
Almighty Allah receive favourable responses," the
President said.
President Mahama also commended the role of
leaders of the Islamic faith and other faiths in
ensuring that Ghana enjoys sustained peace,
stability and togetherness among all the citizens.
"Once again, congratulations to all of Ghana's
Muslims, as the whole nation takes a break to
celebrate Eid-Ul-Fitr. Barka da Sallah," he added.
The President will celebrate the occasion with
Muslims at the Kumasi Central Mosque on
Monday, 28th July 2014. At the same time, Vice-
President Kwesi Bekoe Amissah-Arthur will be
joining Muslim worshippers at the Independence
Square in Accra to celebrate the feast of Eid-Ul-
Fitr.
