By Masahudu Ankiilu Kunateh, Ghanadot
Accra, Sept 22, Ghanadot - Former
President Jerry John Rawlings has congratulated the Muslim
community for the successful conclusion of the Ramadan
fasting period culminating in the Eid ul Fitr Monday.
In a statement issued on Monday, the former president said
the Ramadan period draws Muslim faithful closer to Allah and
strengthens their spiritual wellbeing.
He said, “We live in world full of secular activities and
sin and such periods ensure that we cleanse ourselves of all
negativity and rejuvenate our spirituality.
“As we celebrate Eid ul Fitr today reciting praises to Allah
let us use the opportunity to encourage particularly our
youth to take their religion seriously and live by the
ideals of Prophet Mohammed and the Holy Koran.
“I also call our my Muslim brothers to use this occasion to
strengthen unity within their communities.” The Former
President noted that there was a need for greater prayer
especially for our conflict prone areas and communities.
Ex-President Rawlings called on Muslims to also pray for
Ghana. “There are several challenges facing our dear country
and it is imperative that we pray for God’s guidance in the
daily affairs of the country and seek God’s support in
government’s policies to bring justice where it is denied as
well as economic sustenance and development.”
Eid ul Fitr is a period of joy so let us all celebrate but
ensure that we do not over-indulge, he counseled and added
that “That will defeat the purpose of the month-long fasting
we have gone through.
“Eid Mubarak, id sa id. Happy Eid
God is the Greatest, God is the Greatest, God is the
Greatest,
There is no deity but God
God is the Greatest, God is the Greatest
And to God goes all praise.”
