Hold on to the virtues of Ramadan: Bawumia urges Muslims

In a statement congratulating Muslims for a successful end to Ramadan Sunday, the Vice President all urged them to pray for the peace, unity and prosperity of Ghana.

“On this auspicious occasion, let us hold on to the virtues we have cultivated in this holy month of worship and sacrifice,” he said. “The virtues of love, patience, empathy, sacrifice and building bridges with people of all faith, race and nationality.”

He continued: “Let us also pray for our beloved country Ghana; let us pray for peace, unity and prosperity. Let us rededicate ourselves to the service of the Almighty, to the service of humanity and to the service of our nation, Ghana. May the Almighty Allah be our guide and guard in everything we do.”

He further said the Eid al fitr celebration is an occasion to “show gratitude to the Almighty Allah for taking us through a very successful period of fasting and to show kindness to our fellow human beings.”

Eid al-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan, during which Muslims fast from dawn until dusk.

Majority of Ghanaian Muslims will join the Chief Imam today at the Independence Square for prayers.

However, some Muslims also prayed yesterday to mark the end of fasting.
