President Mahama wishes Muslims successful Ramadan

President John Mahama and the National Chief Imam, Sheikh Nuhu SharabutuPresident John Dramani Mahama has extended his best wishes to the National Chief Imam, the Ameer and Missionary in Charge of the Ahamadiya Moslem Mission, the Chief Imam of Alssuna Wal' Jamaa and other leaders of the Moslem faith, as well as all Ghanaian muslims on the occasion of the commencement of the Holy month of Ramadan.

In a statement released on Tuesday from the Flagstaff House and signed by the Executive Secretary to the President Dr. Raymond Atuguba, President Mahama noted that it is once again time for Muslims to embark on the fast associated with the Holy month of Ramadan "which allows the faithful to reflect on their relationship with Allah the Creator, show remorse for any sins committed in the past year and purify themselves to become worthy of appearing before Allah the Almighty."

President Mahama said, "by requiring the faithful to willingly deny themselves of food over the Ramadan month, Allah seeks to make all men equal by exposing the rich and well to do in society to the pangs of hunger, and the plight and fate of the poor or downtrodden. In the process, Ramadan becomes a schooling period that teaches and engenders empathy, love and fellow feeling."

He added that the whole nation is in solidarity with the Muslim community and promised that government will do everything to ensure a conducive atmosphere for a successful fast.

The President asked all Ghanaian Muslims to remember Ghana in their prayers to ensure that the peace and prosperity the Almighty Allah has bestowed on the nation continues to prevail forever.
