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.<\/p>\n
The President extended his hearty congratulations to all Muslim brothers and sisters who have gone through the fast successfully.<\/p>\n
\u201cRamadan has been a period of deep reflection, love and sacrifice,\u201d the President noted. \u201cIt was also a moment when the Muslim faithful offered prayers to Allah, not\u00a0just 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,\u201d the\u00a0President said.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnce again, congratulations to all of Ghana\u2019s Muslims, as the whole nation takes a break to celebrate Eid-Ul-Fitr. Barka da Sallah,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
