Muslims marked Eid-ul-Fitr
Kumasi, Oct 13, Ghanadot/GNA - Sheik Mohammed Kamil
Mohammed, the Ashanti Regional Chief Imam of the Al-Sunna
Wal-Jamaa, a Muslim sect, on Saturday said that the
government alone could not shoulder the responsibility of
developing the nation.
He appealed to Muslims to complement government's effort at
developing the country.
Sheik Mohammed was addressing Muslims at Old Tafo in the
Kumasi metropolis on Saturday to mark the Eid-ul-Fitr
festival.
He said no meaningful development could be achieved in an
atmosphere of chaos and conflicts and urged them to eschew
such negative tendencies.
Sheik Mohammed said education played a vital role in
socio-economic development and urged them to give quality
education to their children.
The Chief Imam advised them to be committed and dedicated to
the worship of Allah at all times.
He stressed the need for them to live upright lives and
avoid meddling in negative practices to tarnish the image of
Islam.
Special prayers were offered for President John Agyekum
Kufuor and the government for God's protection and guidance
over the years for ensuring peace, stability and
development.
