Eid al-Fitr: Continue praying for Ghana – Rawlings

Muslims across the country have been urged not to relent in their prayers for Ghana, even after Ramadan.

Former President Jerry John Rawlings and his wife, Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings, who congratulated Muslims for a successful month of fasting and prayer, said in a statement on Sunday, June 25: “We pray that as you break the fast you continue to seek Allah’s guidance and blessings not only for our families, friends and communities but for the good of Ghana so we can forge ahead as a people in peace and tranquillity.”

The Rawlingses added: “The prayer, sacrifice and purification that you [Muslims] endure throughout the month of Ramadan has a cleansing effect on whole communities and offers a renewed lease as we confront life’s many challenges.”

They thanked the Chief Imam, Sheikh Osman Nuhu Sharubutu, leaders of various Muslim groups, and the entire Muslim community for dutifully committing to the Ramadan fast.
